------------------------------------------------------- EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN: ------------------------------------------------------- RIDGE/GARTER STITCH (worked back and forth): Knit all rows. 1 ridge = knit 2 rows. PATTERN: See diagrams A.1 and A.2. The diagrams show all rows in the pattern from the right side. DECREASE/INCREASE TIP (evenly spaced): To work out how to decrease/increase evenly, count the total number of stitches on needle (e.g. 105 stitches), minus the edge stitches (e.g. 2 stitches) and divide the remaining 103 stitches by the number of decreases/increases to be made (e.g. 20) = 5.1. In this example, decrease by knitting together approx. each 4th and 5th stitch; do not decrease the edge stitches. When increasing, make 1 yarn over after approx. each 5th stitch. On the next row purl the yarn overs twisted to avoid holes. DECREASE TIP (for sleeves): Decrease 1 stitch on either side of the marker as follows: Work until there are 3 stitches left before the marker, knit 2 together, knit 2 (marker sits between these 2 stitches), slip 1 stitch as if to knit, knit 1 and pass the slipped stitch over the knitted stitch (2 stitches decreased). PICOT: Knit 1, * insert right needle between the next 2 stitches (not through the stitches), make 1 yarn over, pull the yarn over between the stitches and place on left needle *, work from *-* 2 more times (= 3 yarn overs on left needle), knit and cast off 7 stitches (= 1 stitch + 3 yarn overs + 3 stitches). Work from *-* and cast off 7 stitches in the same way along the whole edge. When there are not enough stitches to work another picot, cast off the remaining stitches as usual. Cut the strand and pull it through the last stitch. Fasten. CASTING-OFF TIP: To avoid the cast-off edge being tight you can cast off with a larger size needle. If the edge is still tight, make 1 yarn over after approx. each 4th stitch at the same time as casting off; the yarn overs are cast off as normal stitches. ------------------------------------------------------- START THE PIECE HERE: ------------------------------------------------------- JACKET – SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE: The back and front pieces are worked separately, back and forth on circular needle and bottom up. The sleeves are worked top down, first back and forth on circular needle then in the round with double pointed needles. The piece is sewn together and the bands worked with picot-edges. BACK PIECE: Cast on 104-112-120-126-140-154 stitches (including 1 edge stitch on each side) with circular needle size 4 mm and DROPS Air. Work rib as follows: 1 edge stitch in GARTER STITCH – read description above, A.1 until there is 1 stitch left and 1 edge stitch in garter stitch. Continue this rib back and forth for 9 cm – adjust so the next row is from the right side. Knit 1 row where you decrease 19-21-23-23-27-29 stitches evenly spaced – read DECREASE/INCREASE TIP = 85-91-97-103-113-125 stitches. Change to circular needle size 5 mm. Purl 1 row with 1 edge stitch in garter stitch on each side. Now work pattern as follows: 1 edge stitch in garter stitch, 3-6-9-5-10-16 stitches in stocking stitch, A.2 over the next 70-70-70-84-84-84 stitches (= 5-5-5-6-6-6 repeats of 14 stitches), work the first 7 stitches in A.2, 3-6-9-5-10-16 stitches in stocking stitch and 1 edge stitch in garter stitch. Continue this pattern until the piece measures 36-37-38-39-40-41 cm. REMEMBER THE KNITTING TENSION! At the beginning of the next 2 rows cast off 2-4-4-4-7-11 stitches for the armholes = 81-83-89-95-99-103 stitches. Continue with pattern over the middle 77-77-77-91-91-91 stitches, 1 edge stitch in garter stitch on each side and stocking stitch over the other 1-2-5-1-3-5 stitches until the piece measures 51-53-55-57-59-61 cm – adjust so you have at least 2 rows of stocking stitch after a lace pattern. Continue with stocking stitch and 1 edge stitch in garter stitch on each side and cast off the middle 29-29-31-31-33-33 stitches for the neck. Each shoulder is finished separately. Cast off 1 stitch on the next row from the neck = 25-26-28-31-32-34 stitches on the shoulder. Continue working until the piece measures 54-56-58-60-62-64 cm. Cast off. Work the other shoulder in the same way. RIGHT FRONT PIECE: Cast on 52-56-60-64-72-78 stitches (including 1 edge stitch on each side) with circular needle size 4 mm and DROPS Air. Work rib as follows: 1 edge stitch in garter stitch, A.1 until there is 1 stitch left and 1 edge stitch in garter stitch. Continue this rib back and forth for 9 cm – adjust so the next row is from the right side. Knit 1 row where you decrease 9-10-10-11-13-13 stitches evenly spaced = 43-46-50-53-59-65 stitches. Change to circular needle size 5 mm. Purl 1 row with 1 edge stitch in garter stitch on each side. Now work pattern as follows: 1 edge stitch in garter stitch, 3-3-4-4-5-5 stitches in stocking stitch, A.2 over the next 28-28-28-42-42-42 stitches (= 2-2-2-3-3-3 repeats of 14 stitches), work the first 7-7-7-0-0-0 stitches in A.2 (only applies to sizes S, M, and L; in the other sizes there are no more stitches in A.2), 3-6-9-5-10-16 stitches in stocking stitch and 1 edge stitch in garter stitch. Continue this pattern. OVERVIEW OF THE NEXT SECTION: Now both the V-neck and armholes are worked at the same time – read the next section before continuing. V-NECK: When the piece measures 28-29-30-31-32-33 cm, start to decrease for the V-neck on the next row from the right side as follows: 1 edge stitch in garter stitch, knit 1, slip 1 stitch as if to knit, knit 1 and pass the slipped stitch over the knitted stitch (= 1 stitch decreased), work to end of row. Turn and purl back with 1 edge stitch in garter stitch on each side. Decrease like this every 4th row 1 time (= the first decrease is explained above), every 2nd row 12-12-13-13-14-14 times, then every 4th row 3 times = 16-16-17-17-18-18 stitches decreased – if the decreases occur in the middle of a lace pattern, work stocking stitch instead of pattern. ARMHOLE: When the piece measures 36-37-38-39-40-41 cm, cast off 2-4-4-4-7-11 stitches for the armhole on the next row from the wrong side. When the decreases for the neck and armhole are finished there are 25-26-28-31-32-34 stitches on the shoulder. Continue with stocking stitch and 1 edge stitch on garter stitch on each side until the piece measures 54-56-58-60-62-64 cm. Cast off. LEFT FRONT PIECE: Cast on 52-56-60-64-72-78 stitches (including 1 edge stitch on each side) with circular needle size 4 mm and DROPS Air. Work rib as follows: 1 edge stitch in garter stitch, A.1 until there is 1 stitch left (adjust so you begin and end with 1 purl (from the right side) so the rib matches when the piece is sewn together, and 1 edge stitch in garter stitch. Continue this rib back and forth for 9 cm – adjust so the next row is from the right side. Knit 1 row where you decrease 9-10-10-11-13-13 stitches evenly spaced = 43-46-50-53-59-65 stitches. Change to circular needle size 5 mm. Purl 1 row with 1 edge stitch in garter stitch on each side. Now work pattern as follows: 1 edge stitch in garter stitch, 3-6-9-5-10-16 stitches in stocking stitch, start on stitch 1-1-1-7-7-7 in A.2 and continue A.2 over the next 28-28-28-35-35-35 stitches (= 2-2-2-2½-2½-2½ repeats of 14 stitches), work the first 7 stitches in A.2, 3-3-4-4-5-5 stitches in stocking stitch and 1 edge stitch in garter stitch. Continue this pattern. OVERVIEW OF THE NEXT SECTION: Now both the V-neck and armholes are worked at the same time – read the whole section before continuing. V-NECK: When the piece measures 28-29-30-31-32-33 cm, start to decrease for the V-neck on the next row from the right side as follows: 1 edge stitch in garter stitch, pattern as before until there are 4 stitches left, knit 2 together (1 stitch decreased), knit 1 and 1 edge stitch in garter stitch. Purl 1 row with 1 edge stitch in garter stitch on each side. Decrease like this every 4th row 1 time (= the first decrease is explained above), every 2nd row 12-12-13-13-14-14 times, then every 4th row 3 times = 16-16-17-17-18-18 stitches decreased – if the decreases occur in the middle of a lace pattern, work stocking stitch instead of pattern. ARMHOLE: When the piece measures 36-37-38-39-40-41 cm, cast off 2-4-4-4-7-11 stitches for the armhole on the next row from the right side. When the decreases for the neck and armhole are finished there are 25-26-28-31-32-34 stitches on the shoulder. Continue with stocking stitch and 1 edge stitch on garter stitch on each side until the piece measures 54-56-58-60-62-64 cm. Cast off. SLEEVES: The sleeves are worked top down. Cast on 61-65-69-71-75-79 stitches with circular needle size 5 mm and DROPS Air. Work stocking stitch back and forth for 1-2-2-2-4-6 cm. Then continue in the round as follows: Insert 1 marker at the beginning of the round; allow the marker to follow your work – it is used when decreasing under the sleeve. Change to double pointed needles size 5 mm. Work pattern in the round as follows: 20-22-24-25-27-29 stitches in stocking stitch, A.2 over the next 14 stitches, work the first 7 stitches in A.2 (so the pattern is symmetrical) and 20-22-24-25-27-29 stitches in stocking stitch. When the sleeve measures 3-4-4-4-6-8 cm from the cast-on edge, decrease 1 stitch on each side of the marker – read DECREASE TIP. Decrease like this every 5½-4-3½-3½-3-2 cm a total of 6-7-8-8-9-11 times = 49-51-53-55-57-57 stitches. Continue working until the sleeve measures 39-39-38-38-38-37 cm – adjust so you have worked at least 2 rows of stocking stitch after a lace pattern. There is approx. 9 cm left. Knit 1 round where you increase 11-13-13-13-13-13 stitches evenly spaced = 60-64-66-68-70-70 stitches. Change to double pointed needles size 4 mm and work A.1 for 9 cm. Cast off with knit over twisted-knit and purl over purl – read CASTING-OFF TIP. The sleeve measures approx. 48-48-47-47-47-46 cm. Work the other sleeve in the same way. ASSEMBLY: Sew the shoulder seams – start outermost and work in towards the neck. Sew the sleeve cap to the armhole and sew the split to the bottom of the armhole – see sketch. Sew the side seams from the armhole down, inside the 1 edge stitch. Insert 1 marker mid-back of neck; it is used when working the bands. RIGHT BAND: Start at the bottom of the right front piece, with circular needle size 4 mm and DROPS Air. Knit up 139 to 163 stitches from the right side inside the 1 edge stitch as far as the marker at the back of the neck. The number of stitches should be divisible by 4 + 3. Turn and work rib (from the wrong side) as follows: 1 edge stitch in garter stitch, A.1 until there are 2 stitches left, AT THE SAME TIME as you increase at the beginning of the V-neck as follows (adjust so that the next stitch is a knitted stitch): * Knit 1, 1 yarn over *, work from *-* 4 times (= 4 stitches increased), work the first stitch in A.1 and 1 edge stitch in garter stitch = 143 to 167 stitches. On the next row work the yarn overs twisted to avoid holes, then work the new stitches into A.1. Continue this rib for 2 cm. Now work 1 buttonhole at the bottom of the V-neck. BUTTONHOLE: Make 1 yarn over (after 1 knit-twisted stitch), knit 2 together. On the next row knit the yarn over to leave a hole. Continue the rib until the band measures 4½ cm. Cast off with PICOT – read description above. LEFT BAND: Start at the marker on the neck and knit up the same number of stitches as on the right front piece with circular needle size 4 mm and DROPS Air. Turn and work rib (from the wrong side) as follows: 1 edge stitch in garter stitch, A.1 until there are 2 stitches left, AT THE SAME TIME as you increase at the beginning of the V-neck as follows (adjust so that the next stitch a knitted stitch): * Knit 1, 1 yarn over *, work from *-* 4 times (= 4 stitches increased), work the first stitch in A.1 and 1 edge stitch in garter stitch = 143 to 167 stitches. On the next row work the yarn overs twisted to avoid holes, then work the new stitches into A.1. Continue this rib for 4½ cm. Cast off with picot. Sew the button onto the left band and sew the bands together at the back of the neck. |

Great pattern! Knitted this up with Knit Picks Wonderfluff in Wonderland Heather! [I live in the states so Drops is hard to come by :( ] I used 4.5 & 4 mm needles and I used ~300 grams of yarn. I wish I could post a picture here because it is such a lovely gift for my mother!

Hello, if Im beginning the test for knitting tension what size of needle am I suppose to use 4mm or 5 mm? It doesnt say in the manual. Thank you
28.01.2024 - 18:16DROPS Design answered:
Dear Barbora, the 4mm needles are only used for the rib. So, since we will only use the 5mm needles for the stocking stitch pattern we need to calculate the gauge with those. Happy knitting!

I understand your schematic drawings to calculate which size I should knit but can you please say which size the model is wearing as this will give the 'truest' indication of the size I need to knit. AND just to clarify: the bottom of the garment smallest size 49 (x 2) = 98cm, which = 38inches, and is this for the FINISHED garment? AND since it appears to be square in shape, does this mean the finished bust measurement would also be 38 inches please? :)

18.09.2023 - 21:03DROPS Design answered:
Dear Mrs Eadie, the shematic drawing shows the finished measurements in cm, so that width of piece on the bottom will be 49 cm in size S lying flat x 2 = 98 cm circumference. Our models most often wear a size S or a size M. Measuring a similar garment you have and like the shape will help you finding the best matching size, as every body is different. Happy knitting!

Hello! I'm having trouble understanding how to do the ribbing for the right and left side. Where do I place the marker? And are the ribbings suppose to be separated then?
09.07.2023 - 22:54DROPS Design answered:
Dear Christy, the marker was inserted in the center of the back of the neck, in the section ASSEMBLY. Now you will pick up stitches on both sides, from the bottom edge of the right front piece for the right edge and from the bottom edge of the left front piece for the left edge. Pick up stitches upwards toward the back of the neck until reaching the marker. You can see how to pick up stitches in the following video: https://www.garnstudio.com/video.php?id=58&lang=en. So they won't be separated from their respective front piece but left and right edges will be separate from each other. Ensure that both edges have the same amount of stitches. Happy knitting!

Hello, I'm on right front piece right now and I think there is a mistake on V-neck decreasing for XL and XXL size. For XL, there are 59 sts before decrease and if I follow the pattern, I'm gonna have 33 sts on my needle. (59-1-1-14-3-7= 33) Could you please check this part again?

Poproszę o pomoc:) pytanie dotyczy obszycia przodów; w którym miejscu dodajemy oczka na dole i początku dekoltu V; nie rozumiem co to jest dół, a co początek dekoltu V; czy to jest miejsce, gdzie zaczynamy zamykać oczka na dekolt, czy sam dół robótki w obu przodach?
14.02.2023 - 21:06DROPS Design answered:
Witaj Tatiano, dół swetra jest na dole prawego przodu i tyłu (od środka przodów). Od tego momentu zaczynasz nabieranie oczek na obszycia przodów. Dół/początek dekoltu V jest to miejsce, gdzie będzie znajdował się pierwszy guzik (na górze swetra); tutaj dodajemy oczka, aby łuk ładnie się układał. Pozdrawiamy!
