How to crochet A.1, A.2 and A.3 in DROPS 167-18 and DROPS 167-19

In this DROPS video we show how to crochet the charts A.1, A.2 and A.3 for the Summer Bliss Vest in DROPS 167-19. The same pattern is also used in the Summer Bliss dress.

This vest and dress are both made in DROPS Belle, but in the video we crochet with a thicker yarn, DROPS Snow.

You must read the specific pattern and look at the charts to be able to follow this video properly. You’ll find both patterns by clicking on the pictures below.

I have figured out several things that will be very helpful. In English in US we call your triple a double and your double a single, etc. Also the pattern is very confusing. But you have to crochet ea row at a time for A1-A3. 2nd row all the way around the whole dress. Then 3rd row all the way around and ea row after. Also at beginning leave flat after chain and don’t join into circle until after two rows of dbl stitches. This will keep it from twisting.

Is there any video showing how to work the A.4 and above portion of the vest? I seem to be getting lost!

Dear Crystal, each symbol represents 1 st, start reading diagram from the bottom corner on the right side (from RS) towards the left and from left to right from WS. Should you need any further assistance reading diagram, you are welcome to contact your yarn store, even per mail or telephone. Happy crocheting!

Ik wil dit vest maken met drops PARIS maar dan moet ik minder steken opzetten kunnen jullie mij vertellen hoeveel dan ?

11.07.2017 - 22:34

DROPS Design :

Hallo Thea, Algemeen advies is dat je bij het omrekenen naar een andere stekenverhouding, eerst een proeflapje moet maken en op basis daarvan het aantal op te zetten steken uitrekent. In dit patroon zitten een aantal telpatronen verwerkt met een verschillend aantal steken als herhaling waar je rekening mee moet houden. Soms is het mogelijk om het patroon met een dikker garen te breien en dan de steken van een kleinere maat aan te houden. Echter voor dit patroon raad ik je toch aan om in dezelfde garencategorie te blijven.

Hallo, ich verstehe nicht ganz die Häkelanleitung. Im Video ist ja nicht die ganze Breite gezeigt. Muss ich die Mitte auszählen, damit ich an den Seiten jeweils die gleiche Stäbchenanzahl habe, oder häkel ich nur nach dem Bild? Bei mir sind die Seiten dann nicht identisch. Außerdem finde ich die angegebene Maschenzahl extrem hoch. Ist das absichtlich dann so weit, oder mache ich etwas falsch?

DROPS Design :

Liebe Frau Schultz, im Video zeigen wir, wie man A.1, A.2 und A.3 häkelt, aber dann müssen Sie je nach der Größe häkeln, dh, A.1 häklen, dann A.2 über die bestimmte Maschenanzahl wiederholen und mit A.3 enden (Hinreihen). Stimmt Ihre Maschenprobe? Dann bekommen Sie die in der Schnittübersicht beschriebenen Maßen. Viel Spaß beim häkeln!

DROPS Design :

Dear Mrs Vaughn, you work A.1 1 time in width, then repeat A.2 the required number of times for your size, and finish with A.3. In the video we show only 1 repeat of A.2 but remember to follow the written pattern and repeat the diagram in width as explained for your size. Happy crocheting!

Is there a size chart available for this pattern? I have taken it apart 3 times trying to get the right fit by moving down a size. Wondered if there is a size chart available I.e. Small fits a 28-30" bust etc.

25.01.2017 - 22:48

DROPS Design :

Dear Andrea, you will find at the bottom of the pattern a measurement chart with all measurements in cm for each size taken flat from side to side. Compare these to a similar garment you have and like the shape to find out the matching size - and remember to check your tension. Read more about sizing here. Happy crocheting!

Do you work each row of A.1-A.3 across, or work A.1-A.3 fully then repeat across?

24.01.2017 - 07:05

DROPS Design :

Dear Andra, you work each row in A.1 to A.3 the one after the other, until diagrams have all been made 1 time in height, ie a total of 11 rows have been crocheted. Happy crocheting!

I need help with Charts A4 through 6 for drops pattern 167-19. I cant seem to get it to work. What do the numbers 3 4 5 mean on rows 4 5 6 of A4?

28.07.2016 - 16:49

DROPS Design :

Dear Mrs Thompson, the first row in A.4 (= the one with a star) is not included in A.4, ie A.4 starts on next row = row 1, so that the numbers 3,4,5 are the row numbers you have to repeat (see pattern and size). Happy crocheting!
