What method of cast on should I use please? Fist attempt, I used your 4mm 80cm circular needles, but it was impossible to work as the 144 cast on stitches are too narrow. So I started again with the 60cm circular needles and it was better. However, now after knitting 6 rows, I feel that the cast on edge will be too small. I've wasted a lot of yarn now because this yarn is impossible to unravel. Please help

Dear Tina, you can cast on as you wish; you can use the following video as a guide, for example: https://www.garnstudio.com/video.php?id=2&lang=en or read the following lesson: https://www.garnstudio.com/lesson.php?id=1&cid=19. Have you worked a gauge with the selected needles to see if it matches the one in the pattern? If your piece is too narrow it may be because your gauge is too tight and you may need a larger needle size (4.5mm for example). Happy knitting!

Hejsa igen, hvor på ærmerne skifter man fra strømpe pindene over til rundpinden? Når man tager ud? Tak

Hej Mie, ja du skifter når du har nok masker til at de kan nå rundt :)

Der står man skal bruge rundpind str 6 på 40 cm men jeg kan ikke finde hvor den skal bruges? Hvis jeg ikke vil have puf-ærme går jeg ud fra at jeg bare kan lade være med at tage ud lige efter ribkanten og så heller ikke tage in igen efter de første 25 cm? Tak for hjælpen. Mie McLaughlin

Hej Mie, den kan du bruge på ærmerne. Ja det bestemmer du selv, så du kan bare lade være med at tage ud til pufærmerne. God fornøjelse!

Hei, voinko käyttää tässä työssä DROPS Paris puuvillalankaa? Onko neuletiheys siten sama?
25.01.2022 - 13:24DROPS Design answered:
Kyllä, voit käyttää DROPS Paris-lankaa, neuletiheys on sama. Ota kuitenkin huomioon, että lankakerien metrimäärät eroavat toisistaan.

Hei! Miksi ohjeessa ei tule helmineuleen kohdalle paritonta määrää silmukoita? Eikö joustimen jälkeen voisi esim. kaventaa yhden silmukan, että kerroksen vaihdosta tulisi siisti?
08.01.2022 - 11:30DROPS Design answered:
Hei, voit hyvin kaventaa tai lisätä 1 silmukan työhön.

Hej Kan det passe at man kun skal strikke 12 cm i striberne i størrelse XL? Det ser lidtmærkeligt ud når blandt andet L skal striberne være 13 cm. Bliver trøjen så ikke for kort?
17.03.2021 - 09:42DROPS Design answered:
Hej Bodil, de 12 cm stemmer i hver farve, og de sidste cm ved halsen strikkes færdig med jeansblå. God fornøjelse!

Hei! Om jeg har lyst til å strikke glattstrikk i denne modellen, bør jeg da bruke pinne 5,5 istedenfor 6 over vrangborden.? Strikker stor S
13.03.2021 - 17:47DROPS Design answered:
Hei Anette. Du bør bruke en pinnestørrelse der du overholder strikkefastheten som er oppgitt i oppskriften. mvh DROPS design

PAS PÅ når I bestiller garn til denne trøje !!!!!! Der er andre der har skrevet det samme, kan jeg se. Der er alt for meget garn i overskud, efter det der står i opskriften. Når der står 50 g bestiller man selvfølgelig 2 nøgler Jeg har nu strikket 2 trøjer og der er stadigvæk garn tilovers. Det er bare ikke godt nok. Mvh Elisabeth

Jeg forstår ikke perlestrikken. Normalt strikkes perlestrik over 2 pinde. Ret og vrang på 1. pind og modsat på 2. pind. Her står at 2. pind skal gentages, så mønstret er over 3 pinde, er det korrekt?
05.09.2020 - 10:21DROPS Design answered:
Hei Helle. Det er bare 2. omgang som skal gjentas og den er forklart at man skal strikke "Strik ret over vrang og vrang over ret". God Fornøyelse!

------------------------------------------------------ EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN: ------------------------------------------------------- MOSS STITCH (worked in the round): Round 1: * Knit 1, purl 1*, repeat from *-*. Round 2: Knit over purl and purl over knit. Repeat round 2 onwards. MOSS STITCH (worked back and forth): Row 1: * Knit 1, purl 1 *, repeat from *-*. Row 2: Knit over purl and purl over knit. Repeat row 2 onwards. STRIPES BODY: Work 12-12.5-13-13,5-13.5-14 cm = 4 3/4"-4 7/8"-5 1/8"-5 1/4"-5 1/4"-5 1/2" light grey green, 12-12.5-13-13-14-14.5 cm = 4 3/4"-4 7/8"-5 1/8"-5 1/8"-5 1/2"-5 5/8" off-white, 12-12.5-13-13,5-13.5-14 cm = 4 3/4"-4 7/8"-5 1/8"-5 1/4"-5 1/4"-5 1/2" powder pink and then finish with denim blue = 12-12.5-13-13-14-14.5 cm = 4 3/4"-4 7/8"-5 1/8"-5 1/8"-5 1/2"-5 5/8". STRIPES SLEEVES: Work 4.5 cm = 1 3/4” off-white, 3 cm = 1 1/8” curry, 4.5 cm = 1 3/4” off-white, 3 cm = 1 1/8” curry, 4.5 cm = 1 3/4” off-white and 3 cm = 1 1/8” curry. DECREASE TIP-1: Knit together the 3 middle stitches under the sleeve (= 2 stitches decreased). INCREASE TIP-1: Work 2 stitches in 1 stitch as follows: Work 1 stitch but do not slip this stitch off the left needle, work 1 more stitch in same stitch - working in the back loop this time = 1 stitch increased. INCREASE TIP-2: (evenly spaced at bottom of sleeve): To work out how to increase evenly, count the total number of stitches on the needle (e.g. 44 stitches) and divide by the number of increases to be made (e.g. 20) = 2.2. In this example, increase by making 1 yarn over after approx. each 2nd stitch. On the next round knit the yarn overs to leave a small hole. BINDING-OFF TIP: To avoid the bind-off edge being tight you can bind off with a larger size needle; or make 1 yarn over after approx. each 8th stitch at the same time as binding off( yarn overs bind off as normal stitches). ------------------------------------------------------ START THE PIECE HERE: ------------------------------------------------------- SWEATER - SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE: The body is worked in the round with circular needle, bottom up. At the armholes, the piece is divided in 2 and front and back pieces are worked back and forth separately.

BACK PIECE: = 66-72-78-86-94-104 stitches.

Continue by binding off towards the neck on each 2nd row: 2 stitches a total of 2 times and 1 stitch 1 time. When the piece measures 52-54-56-58-60-62 cm = 20 1/2"-21 1/4"-22"-22 3/4"-23 5/8"-24 3/8"-25 1/4" loosely bind off the remaining 21-24-26-30-33-38 stitches, with knit over knit and purl over purl - read BINDING-OFF TIP.

Continue working until the piece measures 52-52-51-49-47-45 cm = 20 1/2”-20 1/2”-20”-19 1/4”-18 1/2”-17 3/4” (shorter measurements in larger sizes due to broader shoulders) and then bind off loosely with knit over knit and purl over purl - read BINDING-OFF TIP. Work the other sleeve in the same way. ASSEMBLY Sew shoulder seams in outermost loop of outermost stitch so the seam is flat. Pick up approx. 55-55-60-60-65-65 stitches around the neck with denim blue and double pointed needles size 4 mm = US 6 and work rib (= knit 1, purl 1) for 2.5 cm = 1”.

I found the answer to my question with Watercolour Horizons Sweater 241/3 that uses Kid-Silk (similar type of thin yarn with fluff and uses large size needles.) My gauge test was correct. Just had problem with the cast on, where I got the answer from the pattern I mentioned. You should add a cast on tip using double needles on this pattern, for knitters who are using this kind of yarn for the first time, to prevent yarn wastage :)
