Thank you so much! I finished the piece with ease! Now I start the mirrored one! Hopefully it will be easy enough... :)

Hello again, thanks for the response. I understood very clearly. Now I am at the very last stage and still stuck :( I did the 27 BO and have 24 sts left on my needle. Now it says *work back and forth on all stiches, work back and forth on the first 12 sts only*, repeat from *-* - this is where I am confused again. I have 24 sts rem on needle and am ready to knit on WS. I should k only 12 first sts? Then turn? Your help is very appreciated!
20.04.2013 - 14:26DROPS Design answered:
Dear Mrs Nault, you will now continue with short rows on the remaining sts, working alternatively 2 rows on all sts and 2 rows on the the outermost 12 sts (towards mid front). This video can help you. Happy knitting !

I am stuck on a project from pattern Drops design # 124-4 on page 3 of 6 at the collar stage it’s not clear to me this sentence: “Now begin incorporating more sts in the garter st on front band for collars as follows: work 1 st (what does work 1 st mean?) into the garter st on front band on every 4th row a total of 9 times. AT THE SAME TIME incr 1 st inside the outermost st on front band (outermost meaning the edge?) Can you please help me?
16.04.2013 - 23:06DROPS Design answered:
Dear Mrs Nault, it means you have to knit 1 more st in garter st (so that number of sts doesn't change but more in garter st and less in pattern). Then at the same time, you increase 1 st after the outermost edge st towards mid front (on front band). Happy knitting!

I need help with assembly please. Specifically, the collar. I'm stuck at the "sew shoulder seams" - If I sew just the knit area on the front pieces to the "shoulder" area of the back piece, the collar is just left to dangle. Then, when it says to "sew the collar together mid back" and then "sew collar to neckline on back piece" I can't get this to work. I've tried a couple times to put it together, and I just can't get it right.
13.12.2012 - 20:22DROPS Design answered:
Dear Sharon, shoulder seams are 26 -29 sts (see size) from front and back piece. You then sew together the 22-26 sts you worked in garter sts from both front pieces, this seam will be at the mid of nekline on back piece. The 7-9 cm worked in garter st (shorter side of collar) will be sewn along the casted off sts for neckline at back piece. Happy Knitting !

M1 pattern is confusing. I see the explanation to pattern diagram, but it just seems like 1x2rib to me. Is there one stitch in between that is a garter st? I can't get this . Would appreciate any help
01.12.2012 - 02:33DROPS Design answered:
Dear Diane, in the diagram 1 square = 1 st x 1 row. Seen from RS, you will have : *1 stocking st, 1 garter st, 1 reverse stocking st*, repeat from *-*. Happy Knitting!

Hi Alice, 1. yes, convert st from M1 pattern into garter. 2. the outermost st is the one edge stitch at the edge of the piece.

When it is time to increase the garter st front band, there are two things I don't understand. 1. work 1 st *from front piece* into the garter st on front band ... does this mean converting from the M1 pattern to garter stitch? 2. inc 1 st inside the *outermost* st on front band What is outermost? The edge of the piece or the end of the garter st area next to the M1 pattern?
