Hi Conny, you have to repeat the sentence between 2 stars, as many times as stated in the pattern. Happy crocheting!

In the garnstudio crochet patterns are you using US or UK terms as this will affect the result and it doesn't say.

28.10.2023 - 00:15

DROPS Design :

Dear Melanie, always make sure you are reading the appropriate English pattern by clicking on the scroll down menu below the picture and choose either UK or US-English. Happy crocheting!

I have got to the part where I make a double crochet in each chain, the bodice part, and it had made it wavy and larger in comparason to the bottom

05.04.2020 - 13:29

DROPS Design :

Dear Angela, if your question refers to one of our patterns, could you please ask it again under the comment section of this pattern?It would be then much easier for us to check. Thanks for your comprehension.

DROPS 99-23 by DROPS Dasign is not working for me. I have the UK direction and I need to have the US translation please.

03.12.2018 - 00:45

DROPS Design :

Dear Mrs Herritt, remember to always check/edit language under Foto - find the pattern with US-crochet terminology as well as related videos here. Happy crocheting!

Hei. Viser denne videoen to ulike måter å hekle staver på? Annen hver stav i videoen hekles som beskrevet i teksten, men annen hver stav hekles ved at det trekkes gjennom 2 masker, og så kastes og trekkes gjennom de to siste maskene. Hvorfor ulik metode for annen hver maske? I video som illustrer hvordan felle/minske ved å hekle sammen to staver brukes kun den ene metoden for å hekle staver.

09.09.2018 - 10:59

DROPS Design :

Hei Madeleine. Stavene hekles på samme måte (som beskrevet i teksten) i hele videoen, bortsett fra de 3 luftmaskene i begynnelsen av 2.rad. mvh DROPS design

Thankyou for this explanation, I have read books and have never grasped the difference between dc/ tr until watching this video! I will now be able to crochet more accurately. Fortunately it makes little difference when making toys! It just alters the size.

I am reading a patter that says 3tr/dc. What does this mean?

02.05.2017 - 15:44

DROPS Design :

Dear Mrs Lysinger, you have to work 3 sts either tr or dc, depending on the row you are working. Remember to post your question on the pattern you are working on, it may be easier to give you a correct answer. Happy crocheting!

Videos have tutorials for both DC (US) and TR (UK) which terms are used in pattern? In other words, is the pattern itself written in US or UK terms? Important to know that before I start! I'd LOVE to make this for my 1 granddaughter, but want to make sure I do it right. I hate to waste time frogging if I don't have to. Hope I get an answer to this.

05.06.2016 - 23:21

DROPS Design :

Dear Carol D, make sure you are reading pattern in the correct language by clicking on the arrow to select language below the picture and chosse appropriate language, either UK or US to get correct terminology. Happy crocheting!
