How to knit A.3 with displacement in DROPS 166-11 and 166-18

In this DROPS video we show you how to knit chart A.3 for the Sigrid jacket and jumper in DROPS 166-11 and 166-18, and at the same time we work the displacement of the chart towards the middle.
We knit as follows: 2 edge st in garter st, chart A.3, K10, A.3 and 2 edge st in garter stitch. At the same time we increase by making 1 YO before the chart (right) and after the chart (left). On next row (WS) we work the YO’s twisted to avoid holes. We also decrease after the chart (right) by K2 together and before the chart (left) by working until 2 st before the chart, then slip 1 st as to K, K1, PSSO. We knit chart A.3 once in height and we work the displacement in every row on RS (= 3 times).

The jacket and jumper are both made in DROPS Air, but in the video we knit with a thicker yarn, DROPS Snow.

You must read the pattern and look at the chart to be able to follow. You’ll find both patterns by clicking on the pictures below.

Hej, skulle göra stor nytta om ni kunde tillhandahålla en bild över hur bakstycket ser ut. Precis som tidigare personer i kommentarer ovan, är beskrivningen luddig när det gäller hur man fortsätter med mönstret vid ärm.

Hei Karolina. Takk for ditt innspill. Vi skal sjekke vårt bildearkiv og se om det er noen bilder av bakstykket som kan legges til. mvh DROSP Dedign

Hallo! Das Anleitungsvideo zu A3 stimmt meiner Meinung nach nicht mit der Anleitung überein. 1) soll ja lt. Beschreibung in jeder 4. Reihe abgenommen werden. Im Video wird in jeder 2. Reihe abgenommen. 2.) soll lt. Beschreibung immer sofort nach, (bzw. am Ende der Reihe: vor) der krausrechts Randmasche zugenommen werden. Im Video wird aber vor und nach A3 zugenommen, was bewirkt, dass die Maschen senkrecht liegen statt schräg, was nicht so schön aussieht.

Hej, Jag har flera frågor, 1. I mönstret står det att ökningen görs efter en kantm, men i videon gör ni den direkt efter A3? 2. På fotot på modellen ser det ut som A3 sträcker sig rakt upp vid sidan, men för mig går det in mot mitt bak och följer förflyttning? 3. Efter alla förflyttn, 20 st i stl M, så är jag vid ökn till ärmen, o därefter står det att mönstret fortsätter, vilket mönster när förflyttningen är klar?

Hej Magdalene, du skal følge informationen som står i opskriften, videoen kan bruges til flere opskrifter og viser kun princippen i at flytte et mønster. God fornøjelse!

Bonjour dans l\'explication il est note toujours augmenter à 1 m point mousse du bord mais dans la vidéo l\'augmentation se fait juste avant le motif A3 \r\nQuelle est la réalité \r\nMerci pour votre réponse \r\nAnne

27.03.2020 - 21:56

DROPS Design :

Bonjour Anne! Toujours augmenter à 1 m point mousse du bord de chaque côté, mais tout le temps augmenter et diminuer comme explique plus tot (décaler A.3 vers le milieu dos. Tricoter 1 m lis au point mousse, augmenter 1 m - VOIR AUGMENTATIONS, A.3, diminuer 1 m - VOIR DIMINUTIONS, jersey jusqu'à ce qu'il reste 2 m avant A.3, diminuer 1 m, A.3, augmenter 1 m, 1 m lis au point mousse. Répéter le décalage de A.3 encore 17-19-20-21-22-24 fois tous les 4 rangs). Bon travail!

Je suis rendu a augmenter 2 mailles a la fin de l'ouvrage sur 2 rangs (repère de fentes) on parle de tricoter une maille lisière en point mousse et en même temps de suivre le diagramme A-4 . Je ne comprend pas très bien .Pourrait-on maider SVP

11.01.2020 - 18:13

DROPS Design :

Bonjour Elise, pour le dos, on monte 2 mailles de chaque côté que l'on tricote ainsi: 1 m lis au point mousse, et l'autre maille montée + les 8 mailles suivantes se tricotent en suivant A.3 (= 9 mailles). Le diagramme A.3 doit s'aligner au-dessus de A.2. Bon tricot!

Bonjour, Serait-il possible d'avoir une photo du dos du modèle 166-18, je crois qu'un visuel pourrait m'éclairer. Merci

10.01.2020 - 21:27

DROPS Design :

Bonjour Elise, nous n'avons pas de photos du dos, car il se tricote de la même façon que le devant - la technique de décalage sera donc la même. Bon tricot!

Cette vidéo jette encore plus de confusion sur la réalisation de ce modèle car ne montre pas le pas à pas du décalage des côtes: augmentation/diminution tous les deux rangs au lieu de quatre, deux mailles lisière au lieu d'une seule. Très déçue de ce modèle.

22.09.2018 - 01:34

DROPS Design :

Bonjour Mme Kaminski, cette vidéo montre la technique, il vous faut effectivement tricoter comme indiqué dans les explications, quand vous décalez tous les 4 rangs, vous tricotez 3 rangs (au lieu de 1 seul dans la vidéo) les mailles comme elles se présentent/comme elles doivent se tricoter mais sans augmenter/diminuer tout simplement. Le nombre de mailles lisières n'intervient pas dans la technique, il est plus simple ici d'en tricoter 2 pour éviter que les bords ne s'enroulent. N'oubliez pas de bien lire les explications du modèle en même temps pour bien comprendre ce qu'il faut faire. Votre magasin saura vous conseiller si besoin, même par mail ou téléphone. Bon tricot!

How to knit up stitches around an armhole, for a sleeve with split

In this DROPS video, we demonstrate how to knit up stitches around an armhole for a split-sleeve. We begin by showing you how to use a crochet hook to knit up stitches and transfer them onto a knitting needle. Then, we continue by showing you how to work with the stitches using knitting needles. Start at the bottom of the armhole (not directly under the sleeve) and knit up the number of stitches specified in your pattern, going as far as the other side of the armhole. Knit up the stitches within one stitch, which is often a garter stitch. Turn and work back, continuing back and forth to the measurement specified in your pattern, or use short rows for a better fit. Once completed, the sleeve is joined and worked in the round. Refer to your pattern for details on measurements, decreases, and the ribbed cuff. In this video, we demonstrate only 6–7 cm of the sleeve. Finally, sew together the hole under the sleeve. To make the seam and sewing easier to see, we use a contrasting color in the video. The yarn featured in this video is DROPS Air. This technique can be used in several patterns – which you can find by clicking on the pictures below:

Sew in the buttons. Sew the bands together mid-back, then sew the bands to the neckline, stretching the bands a little to sew it on.

How to work the jacket in DROPS 248-5 – Part 3

In this DROPS video we show a bit of how the Sand Diamond Cardigan is worked. We use the stitch numbers for size M. We have already worked the bands with an I-cord edge, some of chart A.1, A.2, A.3 and A.4 (see video Part 1) and worked YOKE until the part divide for body and sleeves. (see video Part 2). We start the video by working the row where we divide the bodies and sleeves (from right side). Read under DIVIDE FOR BODY AND SLEEVES – ALL SIZES in the pattern. In size M there should then be 235 stitches for the body and 56 stitches for each sleeve. Then it is working from wrong side and work 2nd row in the charts as follows: Work 7 band stitches as before, A.6, A.3 until there are 12 stitches left, A.5 and 7 band stitches as before. * Work 7 band stitches as before, A.5, A.3 until there are 13 stitches left, A.6 and 7 band stitches as before. Work the diagrams 1 time in height. Continue with 7 band stitches as before, A.7, A.3 until there are 18 stitches left, A.8 and 7 band stitches as before. Work the diagrams 1 time in height *. Work from *-* until the body have the specified length (18 cm in size M), finishing after a complete repeat of A.3 in height. Remember the buttonholes. Then change the needle, work a rib, increase stitches and work the 7 band stitches on each side are worked as before, read more in the pattern. This jacket is worked in DROPS Daisy, but in the video, we use DROPS Cotton Merino color no. 30. You must read the pattern and look at the charts to be able to follow this video properly.

How to work the jacket in DROPS 248-5 – Part 2

In this DROPS video we show a bit of how the Sand Diamond Cardigan is worked. We use the stitch numbers for size M. We have already worked the bands with an I-cord edge, worked 24 rows of chart A.1 and worked charts A.2, A.3 and A.4 two times in height (see video Part 1). When A.2, A.3 and A.4 have been worked two time in height, you will work 2 more repeat of A.3 between A.2 and A.4 (= 4 reports of A.3). When A.1 has been worked 1 time in height, the increases towards mid-front are finished, and except size S, continue increasing for raglan in each transition between body and sleeves. Read under the PATTERN and under the size you knit how to work the next row (we use stitch markers between the charts to get a better overview). Remember BUTTONHOLES. When A.2, A.3 and A.4 have been worked 1 more time in height, all the increases are finished and there are now 317 stitches on the needle and the work measures approx. 27 cm from the shoulder (size M). This jacket is worked in DROPS Daisy, but in the video, we use DROPS Cotton Merino color no. 30. You must read the pattern and look at the charts to be able to follow this video properly.
