------------------------------------------------------- EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN: ------------------------------------------------------- PATTERN: See diagrams A.1 to A.3. The diagrams show all rows in the pattern from the right side. INCREASE TIP-1 (evenly spaced): To work out how to increase evenly, count the total number of stitches on the needle (e.g. 111 stitches) minus the bands (e.g. 14 stitches) and divide the remaining stitches by the number of increases to be made (e.g. 15) = 6.5. In this example, increase by making 1 yarn over after alternately each 6th and 7th stitch. Do not increase on the bands. On the next row work the yarn overs twisted to avoid holes. INCREASE TIP-2 (for sides of body): All increases are worked from the right side! Work until there are 2 stitches left before the marker thread, make 1 yarn over, knit 4 (marker thread sits between these 4 stitches) make 1 yarn over. On the next row purl the yarn overs twisted to avoid holes. Then work the new stitches in stockinette stitch. BUTTONHOLES: Work buttonholes on the right band (when the garment is worn). Work from the right side when there are 6 stitches left on the row as follows: Make 1 yarn over, knit 2 together and work as before to the end of the row. On the next row (wrong side), knit the yarn over to leave a hole. The first buttonhole is worked when the rib on the neck measures 2 cm = ¾". Then work the other 5-5-5-6-6-6 buttonholes with approx. 9-9-9½-8½-8½-9 cm = 3½"-3½"-3 5/9"-3¼"-3¼"-3½" between each one. BINDING-OFF TIP: To avoid the bind-off edge being tight you can bind off with a larger size needle. If the edge is still tight, make 1 yarn over after approx. each 3rd or 6th stitch at the same time as binding off; the yarn overs are bind off as normal stitches. ------------------------------------------------------- START THE PIECE HERE: ------------------------------------------------------- JACKET – SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE: The neck and yoke are worked back and forth with circular needle from mid front and top down. Stiches are increased on the shoulders in the lace pattern. The yoke is divided for body and sleeves and the body continued back and forth. The sleeves are worked in the round with short circular needle/double pointed needles, top down. NECK: Cast on 111-114-120-126-129-135 stitches (including 7 band stitches on each side towards mid front) with circular needle size 3 MM = US 2.5 and Sky. Purl 1 row (= wrong side). The next row is worked as follows from the right side: A.1 over the first 7 stitches, * knit 1, purl 2 *, work from *-* until there are 8 stitches left, knit 1 and finish with A.2 over the last 7 stitches. Continue this rib for 2 cm = ¾" – remember the BUTTONHOLES on the right band – read description above. When the rib is finished, knit 1 row from the right side where you increase 15-16-14-28-29-27 stitches evenly spaced – read INCREASE TIP-1 = 126-130-134-154-158-162 stitches. Purl 1 row from the wrong side (yarn overs purled twisted). Change to circular needle size 4 MM = US 6. Insert 1 marker after the band at the beginning of the row; the yoke is measured from this marker! YOKE: Now work pattern as follows: Work A.1 over the first 7 stitches, stockinette stitch over the next 12-13-14-19-20-21 stitches, A.3 over the next 32 stitches, stockinette stitch over the next 24-26-28-38-40-42 stitches, A.3 over the next 32 stitches, stockinette stitch over the next 12-13-14-19-20-21 stitches and finish with A.2 over the last 7 stitches. Continue this pattern back and forth. REMEMBER THE KNITTING GAUGE! When A.3 has been worked 5½-6-6½-6½-7-7½ times in height you have increased 264-288-312-312-336-360 stitches = 390-418-446-466-494-522 stitches on the needle. Continue with stockinette stitch (without further increases and working the bands as before) until the piece measures 24-26-28-30-32-34 cm = 9½"-10¼"-11"-11¾"-12½"-13⅜" from the marker on the neck. On the next row from the wrong side, divide for the body and sleeves as follows: Work the first 7 stitches as before, stockinette stitch over the next 42-46-51-55-60-65 stitches (= front piece), place the next 104-110-114-116-120-124 stitches on a thread for the sleeve, cast on 8-8-8-10-12-14 stitches (= in side under sleeve), stockinette stitch over the next 84-92-102-110-120-130 stitches (= back piece), place the next 104-110-114-116-120-124 stitches on a thread for the sleeve, cast on 8-8-8-10-12-14 stitches (= in side under sleeve), stockinette stitch over the next 42-46-51-55-60-65 stitches and work the last 7 stitches as before (= front piece). Body and sleeves are finished separately. THE PIECE IS NOW MEASURED FROM HERE. BODY: = 198-214-234-254-278-302 stitches. Insert 1 marker thread 53-57-62-67-73-79 stitches in from each side (= sides). There are 92-100-110-120-132-144 stitches between the marker threads on the back piece. Allow the threads to follow your work onwards; they are used when increasing in the sides. Continue back and forth with stockinette stitch and working the bands as before. When the piece measures 4 cm = 1½" from the division, increase 1 stitch on each side of both marker threads – read INCREASE TIP-2. Increase like this every 4 cm = 1½" a total of 4 times = 214-230-250-270-294-318 stitches. Continue working until the piece measures 21 cm = 8¼" from the division – adjust so the next row is worked from the right side. There is approx. 4 cm = 1½" left to finished length; try the jacket on and work to desired length. On the next row increase 23-25-29-33-36-39 stitches evenly spaced = 237-255-279-303-330-357 stitches. Change to circular needle size 3 MM = US 2.5 and work back from the wrong side. Now work rib as follows: A.1, * knit 1, purl 2 *, work from *-* until there are 8 stitches left, knit 1, A.2. Continue this rib for 4 cm = 1½". Bind off with knit over knit and purl over purl – read BINDING-OFF TIP. The jacket measures approx. 52-54-56-58-60-62 cm = 20½"-21¼"-22"-22¾"-23⅝"-24⅜" from the shoulder down. SLEEVES: Place the 104-110-114-116-120-124 stitches from the thread on the one side of the piece on short circular needle size 4 MM = US 6 and knit up 1 stitch in each of the 8-8-8-10-12-14 stitches cast on under the sleeve = 112-118-122-126-132-138 stitches. Work stockinette stitch in the round until the sleeve measures 28-26-25-23-22-20 cm = 11"-10¼"-9¾"-9"-8¾"-8" from the division (shorter measurements in larger sizes due to wider neck and longer yoke). There is approx. 3 cm = 1⅛" left to finished length; try the jacket on and work to desired length. On the next round work as follows: Knit 2, knit all stitches together 2 and 2 until there are 2 stitches left on the round (= 54-57-59-61-64-67 stitches decreased), knit the last 2 stitches = 58-61-63-65-68-71 stitches. Knit 1 round where you adjust the number of stitches to 57-60-63-66-69-72 stitches. Change to double pointed needles size 3 MM = US 2.5 and work rib (knit 1, purl 2) for 3 cm = 1⅛". Bind off with knit over knit and purl over purl – remember BINDING-OFF TIP. The sleeve measures approx. 31-29-28-26-25-23 cm = 12¼"-11⅜"-11"-10¼"-9¾"-9" from the division. Work the other sleeve in the same way. ASSEMBLY: Sew the buttons onto the left band. |

Prøver igjen. Symbolene for A3 er forklart, men ikke symbolet i A1 og A2. Jeg finner det iallfall ikke.
