Thank you. This is my first time trying to knit a lace pattern. Do you have a tutorial video using 'English' knitting with commentary? I don't understand that the Diagram A1 for DROPS 170-3 shows 4 squares but cast on 8 stitches. Also is it possible to get clearer diagrams, when I print out they are very small and not sharp. I would sincerely appreciate some help. Thanks. Regards, Sue

DROPS Design :

Dear Sue, just follow the video, cast on the 8 stitches and knit 1 row (from 00:35), then increase on next row as explained in the pattern (from 00:53) = 15sts. Work next row (= from 1:20) - then work the 15 sts as explained in pattern and as shown in the video from approx. 1:47. Happy knitting!

At 03:45 she points at a white square which is supposed to be purl. The stitch is not a yo as far as I can see. What type of stitch is she using there? Why is is not a regular purl?

DROPS Design :

Dear Marjan, the stitch is here purled using the traditional Norwegian method - see video. Happy knitting!

In der 4. Reihe wird innerhalb der Reihe auf die 3. Zeile der Strickschrift gewechselt, hat das mit den Maschenmarkierung zu tun, wann erfolgt der Wechsel jeweils zur nächsten Zeile der Strickschrift. Das Video ist genau hier auch geschnitten und ich steige dann jedesmal aus dem Muster aus. Vielleicht kann mir jemand weiterhelfen. Danke und Lg
