DROPS 142-17 |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
HAT AND NECKWARMER: PATTERN: See diagrams A.1 to A.6. Diagrams show all rows in pattern seen from RS. GARTER ST (back and forth on needle): K sts on all rows. -------------------------------------------------------- HAT: Worked in the round. Cast on 98 sts on circular needle size 3 mm / US 2.5 with Nepal and K 1 round. Then work rib according to diagram A.1 (= 2 repetitions on round). When A.1 has been worked 1 time vertically, switch to circular needle size 4 mm / US 6. Then work PATTERN according to diagram A.2. When piece measures approx. 21 cm / 8¼" – stop after one full repetition vertically of lace pattern, work and dec according to diagram A.3 (= 2 repetitions on round) – switch to double pointed needles when needed. When A.3 has been worked 1 time vertically, 24 sts remain on round. K2 twisted tog around. Cut the thread and pull it through the remaining sts, tighten tog and fasten. The hat measures approx. 26 cm / 10¼" vertically. ---------------------------------------------------------- NECK WARMER: Worked back and forth on needle. Cast on 40-44 sts on needle size 4.5 mm / US 7 with Nepal. K 4 rows (1st row = RS) – AT THE SAME TIME on 3rd row inc 5-5 sts evenly (do not inc over the outermost 2 sts in each side) = 45-49 sts. Work next row as follows from RS: 2 edge sts in GARTER ST – see explanation above, work A.4 (= 6 sts), P 2-3, A.5 (= 6 sts), P 2-3, A.6 (= 9 sts), P 2-3, A.4, P 2-3, A.5 and 2 edge sts in GARTER ST. Continue pattern like this (from WS K the 2-3 sts between every diagram). When piece measures approx. 71-75 cm / 28"-29½" – stop after one full repetition vertically of lace pattern in the middle, K 4 rows – AT THE SAME TIME dec 5-5 sts evenly on 1st row = 40-44 sts. Then bind off with K from WS. ASSEMBLY: Place the 2 ends on top of each other so that the tip at the front is double. Sew bind off edge edge to edge with the outer side of one long side, and cast on edge edge to edge with outer side in the other side. -------------------------------------------------------- MITTENS: PATTERN: See diagram A.7. Diagram shows all rows in pattern. INCREASE TIP: Inc 1 st by making 1 YO, on next round K YO twisted to avoid holes. DECREASE TIP: Dec as follows (beg 3 sts before marker): K 2 tog, K 2 (marker is between these 2 sts), slip 1 st as if to K, K 1, psso. -------------------------------------------------------- RIGHT MITTEN: Cast on 40-40 sts on double pointed needles size 3 mm / US 2.5 with Nepal and K 1 round. Then work rib (= K 2/P 2). When rib measures 6-7 cm / 2½"-2¾", work next round as follows: * K 5, K the next 2 tog *, repeat from *-* 2 more times, K 1, P 2, * K 2 tog, K 2 *, repeat from *-* 1 more time, K 2 tog, P 2 and finish with K 4 = 34-34 sts. Switch to double pointed needles size 4 mm / US 6, work next round as follows: 19 sts in stockinette st (= inside hand), A.7 (= 11 sts) and 4 sts in stockinette st. Continue the pattern like this. When piece measures 8-9 cm / 3"-3½", inc 1 st on each side of first st on round for thumb - READ INCREASE TIP. Repeat inc on each side of the inc sts every other round 4-5 more times = 44-46 sts. Now slip the 11-13 thumb sts on a stitch holder. Continue in the round as before while AT THE SAME TIME casting on 1 new st behind thumb on next round = 34-34 sts. When mitten measures approx. 21-23 cm / 8¼"-9" (try the mitten on, approx. 4 cm / 1½" remain until finished measurements), insert 1 marker after the first 16 sts on round and 1 marker after the next 17 sts (1 st remains on round after last marker). Now dec 1 st on each side of both markers - READ DECREASE TIP. Repeat dec every other round 2 more times and then every round a total of 3 times = 10 sts remain on needle – NOTE: When there is not room for more repetitions of A.7 vertically, finish the pattern after one whole repetition vertically, then work in stockinette st over the remaining sts in pattern until dec are done. Cut the thread and pull it through the remaining sts, tighten tog and fasten. THUMB: Slip the 11-13 thumb sts from stitch holder back on double pointed needles size 4 mm / US 6. In addition pick up 4-3 sts behind thumb = 15-16 sts. Work in stockinette st in the round until the thumb itself measures approx. 4½-5 cm / 1¾"-2" (try on the mitten, approx. ½ cm / ¼" remain until finished measurements). K 2 rounds while AT THE SAME TIME K2 tog around on both rounds = 4-4 sts remain on needle. Cut the thread and pull it through the remaining sts, tighten tog and fasten. LEFT MITTEN: Cast on and work as right mitten but reversed. I.e. beg rib with P 2 (instead of K 2). Work 1st round after rib as follows: K 4, P 2, * K 2 tog, K 2 *, repeat from *-* 1 more time, K 2 tog, P 2, K 1, * K 2 tog, K 5 *, repeat from *-* 2 more times. Inc for thumb on each side of last st on round. And before dec at the top of mitten, insert 1st marker after 1st st on round and 2nd marker after the next 17 sts (= 16 sts remain on round after last marker). |

For knitting the left mitten, for the first row of the palm, do I knit 4 stitches, the pattern, then knit 19 stitches? Is that what knitting in reverse means?
14.11.2021 - 03:41DROPS Design answered:
Dear Laura, you are right. It is exactly what it means. Happy Stitching!

Hopefully the last question. When increasing for the thumb, how would the second increase row proceed? Exactly where are the increases in relation to the yarn overs? Do I always add a yarn over either side of that first stitch (which has become the second stitch), or do I add a yarn over before the new first and after the third stitch?
07.11.2021 - 22:51DROPS Design answered:
Hi Laura, for the second increase for the thumb you should add a yarn over before the new first and after the third stitch. Happy knitting!

In chart A.7 there are YOs that seem to be creating a lacy hole. Is this right or should I be knitting into the back loops of these yarn overs?
07.11.2021 - 00:41DROPS Design answered:
Hi Laura, in A.7, on the next round knit the yarn overs to make holes (not through the back loop). Happy knitting!

Could I lengthen the cowl/neck warmer to a scarf? How much yarn do you think I would need?
17.10.2021 - 18:52DROPS Design answered:
Dear Laura, if you want a scarf of 30x 180, you'd need 400gr in total of DROPS Nepal. Happy knitting!

Hi there, I am working on the Solveig Mittens Pattern. I believe it is supposed to be available in S/M and also M/L - but there only appears to be the smaller size instructions on the website. I have one mitten half completed and it looks a bit too narrow to me. Would you be able to add on the directions for the M/L size please? Thank you very much. Love your patterns - especially all of the lace shawls!
25.11.2020 - 06:50DROPS Design answered:
Dear Diana, the width are the same in both sizes, only length is longer in larger size - you can try with larger needles - try with needle size 3, 5 for example, it might help to get larger piece. Your DROPS store might have other tips for you - happy knitting!

Bonjour, Je rencontre un problème pour la moufle gauche. Lorsque je dois faire des diminutions du début de rang je dois procéder comment ? Car il faut les commencer 3 mailles avant le marqueur et le marqueur se trouve après la première maille seulement. Je dois commencer sur le rang précédent ou je dois faire la dim en deux étapes et diminuer les deux mailles ensemble en fin de rang ? Merci drops !
16.02.2018 - 20:06DROPS Design answered:
Bonjour Mme Jardé, commencez la diminution à la fin du tour pour que les 2 diminutions de chaque côté soient faites au même rythme. Bon tricot!

Bonjour, Pour les moufles Je dois réaliser les augmentations de chaque côté de la première maille du tour ou du côté extérieur des mailles augmentées ? C'est écrit 'augmenter de chaque côté des mailles augmentées' du coup si on suit ça on obtient 4 augmentations tous les deux rangs. Merci d'avance pour votre réponse.
11.02.2018 - 21:41DROPS Design answered:
Bonjour Mme Jardé, on va augmenter de part et d'autre des mailles augmentées = avant l'augmentation précédente, la m du pouce et après l'augmentation précédente pour qu'il n'y ait que 2 augmentations et non 4. Bon tricot!

Hello, enjoy your website for many years and it gets better and more convenient every year. The general advice about all the descriptions of garments on the site: it would be great if, when writing the name of yarn used for the item, you make it as a link to the specified yarn. Thanks!
27.01.2017 - 14:19DROPS Design answered:
Dear Polina, you will find link to the shadecard of the requested yarn at the very bottom of "Materials" tab, just above "Print pattern, Photo, Comments). Happy knitting!

Donna thanks for the reply, I think a lot of people have questions about CHART A.3 how the last two rows have 11 stitches omitted in each of these rows. I had not come across a knitting chart before like this one so it was another learning experience. I just love the Drops patterns, they're absolutely beautiful. Thank You:)

What comes after k2, p4, k6, p2, k2 in chart A.2?
05.12.2016 - 01:27DROPS Design answered:
Dear Belinda, in row 1 in A.2 work: K2, P4, K6, P4, K2, P2, K11, P2, K2, P4, K6, P4. When you have worked the lace pattern 1 time in height repeat the lace pattern from row 1 - continue cables as before, ie with 5 rows between each cable. Happy knitting!
