------------------------------------------------------- EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN: ------------------------------------------------------- RIDGE/GARTER STITCH (worked back and forth): Knit all rows. 1 ridge = knit 2 rows. PATTERN: See diagrams A.1 to A.7. RAGLAN: All increases are worked from the right side! The increases to raglan on the front and back piece are included in the diagrams. Increase to raglan on each side of the sleeves as follows: Increase 1 stitch after markers 1 and 3 and before markers 2 and 4 by making 1 yarn over. The yarn overs are purled twisted on the next row (= from the wrong side) to avoid holes. Then work the new stitches in stockinette stitch. When A.4 and A.5 are finished, the increases on the front and back pieces are finished. Continue increasing only on the sleeves. BUTTONHOLES: Work buttonholes on the right band (when the garment is worn). Work from the right side until there are 4 stitches left, make 1 yarn over, knit 2 together and knit 2. On the next row (wrong side), knit the yarn over to leave a hole. The first buttonhole is worked when the rib on the neck measures approx. 3 cm = 1⅛". Then work the other 5-5-5-6-6-6 buttonholes with approx. 8-8-8½-8-8-8½ cm = 3⅛"-3⅛"-3¼"-3⅛"-3⅛"-3¼" between each one. DECREASE TIP (for sleeves): Decrease 1 stitch on either side of the marker as follows: Work until there are 3 stitches left before the marker, knit 2 together, knit 3 (marker sits in the middle stitch of these 3 stitches), slip 1 stitch as if to knit, knit 1 and pass the slipped stitch over the knitted stitch (2 stitches decreased). ------------------------------------------------------- START THE PIECE HERE: ------------------------------------------------------- JACKET - SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE: The piece is worked back and forth with circular needle, from mid-front and top down.

Hello. I’m working on L size Back piece. “Work A5, A2 over 56 stitches, A4” means I repeat A2 in 56 stitches? 1 repeat of A2 is 14 stitches, so repeat it 4times?
23.05.2023 - 10:00DROPS Design answered:
Hi Mami, That's correct, you repeat A.2 four times between A.5 and A.4. Happy crafting!

Hallo , ich habe eine Frage . Ich stricke diese Jacke in Groesse L und befide mich grade in der 5.Reihe des Musters nach dem Buendchen. Leider geht das Muster nicht mehr auf und ich habe immer eine Masche ueber . Kann es sein das da ein Fehler ist im Muster ? Ich habe es mehrfach wieder aufgetrennt , aber es ist immer das gleiche .
07.05.2023 - 19:10DROPS Design answered:
Liebe Frau Porfyriadou, am besten setzen Sie Markierungen zwischen jedem Diagram/Rapport, so können Sie am besten immer die Maschenanzahl nach jeder Reihe prüfen - bei jeder Hinreihe nehmen Sie 2 Maschen auf beiden Ärmel, bei den Vorderteilen/Rückenteil nehmen Sie meistens 1 M (manchmal 2)ab der 3. Reihe in A.4 und A.5 . Viel Spaß beim stricken!

Salve, sto lavorando la S alla tensione corretta. Nello sprone, dopo aver lavorato interamente A.4 e A.5, ho 349m totali, quindi avrei già finito gli aumenti sia per il corpo che per le maniche. Non capisco dove sbaglio. Inizio da 20m per le maniche, più 24 giri di aumenti (che corrispondono al num di giri di aum di A.4 e A.5) = 48m aumentate. 20+48= 68m delle maniche. In questo modo però lo sprone è solo di 17cm. Spero di essermi spiegata. Grazie mille!

Ja, jeg strikker i baby marino og overholder strikkefastheden i glatstrikning , så jeg antager at det også gælder mønsterstrikningen. Men generelt kan jeg ikke forstå at garn og strikkefasthed har betydning for et mønsters færdige resultat. Har forstået at et mønster kan strikkes i alle tykkelser garn med tilhørende pinde uden at mønstrets udtryk ændre sig, der er endda nogle der har udgivet bøger om mønsterstrik/ japansk mønsterstrik osv

Mønstret “krøller” arbejdet meget, så det er svært at måle bredde og længde. Skal man presse trøjen med strygejern (kan garnet tåle det) eller retter det sig ud, når man bruger trøjen.

Hej Elisabeth, Strikker du i DROPS Baby Merino og holder du strikkefastheden? Du skal ikke strikke for stramt for da vil det krølle. Hvis du prøver med et strygejern, så læg et håndklæde imellem :)

Guten Tag, bei der Blende (7 M) ist da die Randmasche mit eingerechnet oder nicht ?

Liebe Verena, es sind hier keine extra Randmaschen, die Blende-Maschen sind die 7 ersten + die 7 letzten Maschen der Reihen. Viel Spaß beim stricken!

I str s. Skal jeg ifl opskriften strikke Diagr. A1 til A5 til at starte med indtil A4 og A5 er strikket færdigt og så skal jeg bland andet strikke A6 og A7. Men A4og A5 er meget højere end A1, A2 og A3. Skal jeg strikke A1 A2 A3 to gange i højden indtil A4 og A5 er færdige eller skal jeg skifte til A6 og A7 halvvejs igennem A4 og A5?

Hej, ja du gentager de andre diagrammer til du er færdig med A.4 og A.5 :)

Bonjour, je suis scrupuleusement les diagrammes mais je n'obtiens pas suffisamment de mailles pour les diagrammes A4 et A5, Pouvez-vous m'expliquer pourquoi, faut-il réaliser une augmentation en dehors de ces diagrammes ? Merci
05.08.2022 - 19:15DROPS Design answered:
Bonjour Fanny, vous devez augmenter pour les raglans après les marqueurs -1 (fin du devant gauche), avant le marqueur-2 (début du dos) et après le marqueur-3 (fin du dos) et avant le marqueur -4 (début du devant droit) - cf RAGLAN, ainsi vous allez augmetner votre nombre de mailles progressivement dans A.4 et A.5 - les augmentations figurent dans les diagrammes - il vous faudra parfois augmenter en plus des jetés des raglans (cf ovales noirs). Bon tricot!

Ik wil graag deze breien maar. Het probleem is de beschrijving. Opzetten ✅ Boord ✅ En dan de eerste verdeling dan heb ik veel mee steken nodig dan dat erop mijn nld staat. Als ik alle steken tel mis ik er een heleboel,. Ik heb de uitgeprinte versie.

Dag Anja,
Welke maat brei je en hoeveel steken heb je ongeveer over? De verdeling van het aantal steken in het patroon zou wel moeten kloppen.

Bonjour Mme Ghouali, avez-vous bien le bon nombre de mailles dans les autres pièces? Aviez-vous bien A.6, 70 m de A.2, A.7 après A.4 et A.5? Essayez de bien vérifier vos diagrammes et vos jetés pour retrouver le bon nombre de mailles correspondant à votre taille. Bon tricot!
