Hei! Koko XS, montako silmukkaa päätetään kainalossa ja milloin aloitetaan V - aukon kavennukset, 27 vai 31 cm, ohjeessa on näissä ristiriita . Kiitos!

Hei, tähän ohjeeseen tehdään pian korjaus. Aloita V-aukon kavennukset, kun työn pituus on 27 cm. Koossa XS ei päätetä silmukoita kainalossa.

How should I work for size L? “then slip these stitches (6) on a thread, bind…”? Could you please clarify in details this part? Thanks!
11.05.2024 - 20:08DROPS Design answered:
Dear Diana, basically, you slip the stitches for the two fronts on a stitch-holder / thread, while cast off 12-12 stitches for the two armholes. So you knit until you have 6 stitches until the firts marker, put these stitches you have just knitted on a holder, cast off the next 12 stitches, knit until you have 6 stitches until the next marker, cast off the next 12 stitches, then knit until the end of the row, and put these stitches on a holder. Break the yarn, reattach it to the back and continue with the back (alternately, put aside the ball and attach a new one to the back and continue, and later, wne you are finishing the fron, use the ball you left there) Happy Knitting!

Blöde Anleitung! Man muß dauernd hin- und herspringen. Ich merkte, daß ich Knopflöcher hätte machen müssen, als das Teil schon fast fertig war. Dann stand in der Anleitung, daß ab X Zentimeter GLEICHZEITIG für Armloch und V-Ausschnitt abgenommen wird. Das stimmt aber gar nicht. Anleitungen sollten so sein, wie man strickt, d.h. Knopflöcher und Abnahmetips gehören an passender(!) Stelle IN den Text und nicht irgendwo anders, wo man sie überlesen kann.

Man könnte doch die Ärmelmaschen direkt aufnehmen, damit das lästige Zusammen nähen entfällt, oder ?

Liebe Susi, ja wahrscheinlich, dann sollen Sie die Anleitung so anpassen. Viel Spaß beim stricken!

Hi, There are no directions for the band! Please help, thank you
12.08.2023 - 13:16DROPS Design answered:
Dear Mrs Berv, the front band stitches are worked at the same time as front stitches, ie the first 5 stitches from RS on right front piece and the last 5 stitches from RS on left front piece, work the front band stitches in garter stitch. Happy knitting!

Hej. Om jag vill ha den lite mindre, bara lite stor kan jag minska storleken på stickorna och i så fall vilken storlek på stickor rekommenderar nu? Hälsningar Helen

Hei Helen. Om man bytter ut strikkepinner for å få plagget mindre, vil ikke strikkefastheten og målene i oppskriften/målskissen stemme, så kan ikke garantere hvordan jakken da vil bli. mvh DROPS Design

I’m knitting DROPS 239-23 but stop when doing the armholes SIZE L. What should I do with “then slip these stitches (6) on a thread, bind ……”? Should I put them back on the needle and continue knitting them when finish each part separately? Thank you so much for your answer.
12.05.2023 - 17:13DROPS Design answered:
Dear Jo, you don't slip the 6 stitches. You slip the stitches you have already worked (from the right front), then cast off the next 12 stitches, that is, the 6 stitches before and after the marker. Continue like this, repeating this on the back. The stitches in the left front piece are worked normally and are the ones you will start working after the armholes. Happy knitting!
