I.e.: Work in the round without stopping, there is a marker thread marking the rounds beginning and ending - do not work a slip stitch at the end of every round. CROCHET TOGETHER-1: WORK 4 DOUBLE CROCHETS TOGETHER TO 1 DOUBLE CROCHET AS FOLLOWS: * Make 1 yarn over, insert hook in next stitch, get yarn, make 1 yarn over and pull yarn through the 2 first loops on hook *, repeat from *-* 3 more times, make 1 yarn over and pull yarn through all 5 loops on hook (= 3 double crochets decreased). CROCHET TOGETHER-2: WORK 2 SINGLE CROCHETS TOGETHER INTO 1 SINGLE CROCHET AS FOLLOWS: Insert hook in next stitch, get yarn *, repeat from *-* one more time, make a yarn over and pull yarn through all 3 loops on hook = 1 single crochet decreased. ---------------------------------------------------------- START THE PIECE HERE: ---------------------------------------------------------- ALPACA - SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE: Work entire piece in single yarn.

Bij de instructies staat drops andes, dubbele draad en haaknaald 8. Maar het label van drops andes zegt haaknaald 9 (enkele draad). Kloppen de instructies wel? Wat is de juiste haaknaald en haren?

Dag Arianne,
Het kan inderdaad zo zijn dat de stekenverhouding in het patroon anders is dan wat op het label staat. In dit geval moet je met een dunnere haaknaald haken omdat het werk dan strakker wordt, wat een mooier resultaat geeft bij dit patroon. Het gaat erom dat de stekenverhouding uit het patroon klopt end dat je daar een juiste naalddikte bij zoekt. Maak dus altijd even een proeflapje en pas evt. de naalddikte aan.

Bonjour, je vous envoie un petit message car je me demande si il faut doubler la laine pour l\'échantillon ? Mon échantillon est très loin du compte et cela me met le doute. Merci beaucoup.

Liebe Frau Pauly, Solange dies nicht als kommerzielles Unternehmen geschieht, sondern eher als Wohltätigkeitslauf, in dem viele Menschen für wohltätige Zwecke häkeln, sollte es kein Problem geben.

Thanks very much for the pattern, but can you help with Row 19. When you say, 13 chain stitches remain - do you mean make another 13 chain stitches? If you just dc down the original 13 chain stitches after the tail , there are 31 stitches in total. Have I misunderstood 'then work double crochets towards the tail in same chain stitch row but on opposite side as follows'. Could you try explaining another way? Thanks very much :-)
28.09.2019 - 19:55DROPS Design answered:
Dear Nicki, at the end of row 19, there are 13 chains left from the 19 chains you cast on at the beginning of this row. Work then 1 dc in each of these 13 chains, 1 dc in each of the 18 stitches from the neck (= row 18) + 1dc in each of the 13 chains from the beg of the row (work now in the opposite side of these chains) = 44 sts for the body. The rounds now start under tail. Happy crocheting!

Hvordan skal benene syes sammen? De 4 masker under maven lukker jo ikke det hele af. Mvh Helle

Hei Helle. Benene sys sammen på samme måte som magen. Du kan sy en sammenhengde søm langs hele undersiden av alpakaen. God fornøyelse
