DROPS Design :

Dear Hillary, the purl stitches are purled with the norwegian method but all other stitches are worked with the continental method. You can also read more about diagrams here<.a>. Hope it can help. Happy knitting!

How to work the slippers in DROPS Children 27-19

In this DROPS video we show to work the “Lemon Jelly” slippers in DROPS Children 27-19. By working with smaller needles than you normally do for DROPS Snow, you get a firmer slipper. But remember the needle size in the pattern are only the recommended size. We use needle 4 in the video and working according to size 20/21 (the smallest size). We have already cast on 24 stitches and show a bit of the 1st round which is knit and a bit of the 2nd round which is purled (= 1 RIGDE in garter stitch). Work garter stich until the piece measures 3 cm. Then the first 8 stitches of the round are kept on the needle and the remaining 16 stitches are put on 1 thread. Cast on 1 stitch at the beginning and 1 stitch at the end of the 8 stitches on the needle. Work garter stich back and forth until the work measures 4 from where the stitches were put on 1 thread. Cast off 1 stitch in each side. Knit up 6 stitches in each side and put the stitches on the thread back on the needle. Put 1 marking thread in the middle of the front and 1 in the middle of the back. When the piece measures 2 from the marker threads, decrease 1 stitch on each side of the marker threads, decrease like this every other round until the piece measures 4 cm. Then cast off the remaining stitches and sew the seam under the foot in outer loops of edge stitch. These slippers are worked in DROPS Snow, the same yarn we use in the video.

How to decrease and increase to the hat in DROPS Baby 21-34

In this DROPS video we show how to increase and decrease by the stitch markers. We use a smaller number of stitches / rows than what is written in the pattern and we have already worked the first rows and put 7 stitch markers in the hat. The first and last stitch is knitted, both from RS and from WS. We start by showing how to increase stitches at 1st, 3rd, 5th and 7th mark and how to decrease 1 stitch on each side of stitch with marker at 2nd, 4th and 6th mark from RS. Then we show how to work the YO twisted from WS to avoid holes. Then we show 1 row from RS again, with inc and dec. When all inc have been worked, work rows with only dec (at markers 2, 4 and 6) until there are 15 stitches left. Work next row from RS as follows: K 1, K 2 tog, K 9, K 2 tog, K 1 = 13 sts. Repeat dec in each side on every row (from WS P the 2 sts before and after edge st tog) until 5 sts remain. On the last row from WS work 1 edge st, P 3 sts tog and work 1 edge st. Pull thread through the remaining stitch. Sew the hat together mid back inside 1 edge stitch. TIES: Cast on 4 stiches. Work as follows: * K 1, place yarn in front of piece (towards you), slip 1 st as if to P, place yarn behind piece (from you) *, repeat from *-* on more time and on all rows. Work to desired length and cast off. Sew the ribbon at the bottom of one tip on ear flap. This hat is worked in DROPS Alpaca, but in the video we work with a thicker yarn; DROPS Snow.
