Could you please just put the pattern typed out how to do it as the A1 and A2 are super confusing
28.05.2025 - 21:36DROPS Design :
Dear Jessica, on first row from RS work: A.1 (= K1), then repeat A.2 (= P2, K1). on 2nd row = from WS, repeat A.2 (reading from the left towards the right): P1, K2 and finish with A.1 = P1. On 3rd row knit all stitches from right side, on 4th row purl all stitches from wrong side. Repeat these 4 rows - remember to work the first and last 3 sts in garter stitch in between. Happy knitting!

Bonjour, je ne comprends pas du tout le diagramme A1 et A2, j’aimerais avoir des explications supplémentaires et plus claires pour ma part! Merci beaucoup!
10.07.2021 - 04:46DROPS Design :
Bonjour Carolane, le diagramme A.1 se tricote en début de rang seulement, vous répétez ensuite A.2: Rang1 (endroit): A.1 = 1 m end, et répétez A.2 = (2 m env, 1 m end). Rang 2 (envers): répétez A.2 (= 1 m env, 2 m end), terminez par A.1 = 1 m env. Rang 3 et 4: 2 rangs jersey (= rang 3 = à l'endroit sur l'endroit, rang 4 = à l'envers sur l'envers). Bon tricot!

What does NOT make sense is A1 is one knit -ONE stitch- but A2 is two stitches witch really is not reflected accurately on the graph as the knitter points to one X-one stitch, not a combination of stitches. Frankly, I am surprised that this has not been redone upon the request of as many unanswered people that have viewed this.

Dear Mrs Duurvoort, A.1 is only 1 stitch and then you repeat A.2 (= 3 sts) in width; ie work as follows: Row 1 (RS): K1 (A.1), *P2, K1 (= A.2)*, repeat from *-*. Row 2 (WS): *P1, K2 (= A.2)*, repeat from *-* and finish with P1 (= A.1). Then work 2 rows stocking stitch over all stitches (= Row 3: K from RS ; Row 4: P from WS). Happy knitting!

Tricoter 3 côtes je ne comprend pas les côtes
30.04.2019 - 02:21DROPS Design :
Bonjour Audette, dans ce modèle, on commence par 3 côtes mousse - 1 côte mousse = 2 rangs endroit (cf POINT MOUSSE dans les explications); On va donc commencer par tricoter 6 rangs endroit, puis tricoter les diagrammes. On termine ensuite par 3 côtes mousse = 6 rangs endroit et on rabat. Bon tricot!

Tolle Anleitung für Strickanfänger. Allerdings fände ich es besser, wenn dabei auch gesprochen würde. Das erleichtert oft das Verständnis!

Nice pattern. Helpful if instructions could be slower. Tried pausing to follow A.2 stitch but still difficult to follow.

I like the pattern, but she is little to fast for me to understand.

Dear Karla, remember you can press the pause button as often as necessary. Happy knitting!

Just in case anyone was wondering, in the video, the instructor makes her purl stitches using the Norwegian technique. That may be confusing for someone used to Continental or English style knitting. A2 on the right side is "purl 2, knit one" to the last three stitches; on the wrong side it's "knit one, purl 2" after the first three and before the last three stitches. If you want to learn Norwegian purling, there are lots of video tutorials on YouTube. Does Drops Design have one too?
