------------------------------------------------------- EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN: ------------------------------------------------------- GARTER STITCH (worked back and forth): Knit all rows. 1 ridge in height = knit 2 rows. BANDS WITH I-CORD: START OF ROW: Work the band as follows: Slip 1 stitch purl-wise, with yarn in front, knit 1, work 5 garter stitches. END OF ROW: Work the band as follows: Work until there are 7 stitches left on the row, work 5 garter stitches, slip 1 stitch purl-wise with yarn in front, knit 1. Work like this from both the right and wrong side. PATTERN: See diagram A.1. The diagram shows all rows in the pattern from the right side. BUTTONHOLES: Work the buttonholes on the right band. 1 BUTTONHOLE = knit together the 5th and 6th stitch from the edge and make 1 yarn over. On the next row knit the yarn over to leave a hole. Work the buttonholes when the piece measures XS: 4, 12, 19 and 26 cm = 1½", 4¾", 7½" and 10¼" S: 4, 12, 20 and 28 cm = 1½", 4¾", 8" and 11" M: 4, 11, 17, 23 and 29 cm = 1½", 4⅜", 6¾", 9" and 11⅜" L: 4, 11, 17, 24 and 30 cm = 1½", 4⅜", 6¾", 9½" and 11¾" XL: 4, 11, 18, 25 and 31 cm = 1½", 4⅜", 7", 9¾" and 12¼" XXL: 4, 11, 18, 25 and 32 cm = 1½", 4⅜", 7", 9¾" and 12½" V-NECK: All decreases are worked from the right side! Decrease for the V-neck inside the 7 band stitches on both front pieces. RIGHT FRONT PIECE: Work band as before, slip 1 stitch, knit 1, pass slipped stitch over. LEFT FRONT PIECE: Work until there are 9 stitches left, knit 2 together, work band as before. INCREASE TIP (for sleeves): Increase 1 stitch on each side of the marker-thread: Work until there is 1 stitch left before the marker-thread, make 1 yarn over, knit 2 (marker-thread sits between these 2 stitches), make 1 yarn over. On the next round work the yarn overs twisted to avoid holes. Then work the new stitches in stockinette stitch. ------------------------------------------------------- START THE PIECE HERE: ------------------------------------------------------- JACKET – SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE: The pattern uses both long and short needles; start with the length which fits the number of stitches and change when necessary. The piece is worked back and forth, bottom up as far as the armholes, with band stitches on each side. The piece is divided and the front and back pieces are finished separately, back and forth. The sleeves are worked in the round as far as the armholes, then finished back and forth. The sections are sewn together. The bands are sewn to the neckline to finish. BODY: Cast on 204-220-236-252-268-300 stitches with circular needle size 3.5 MM = US 4 and 3 strands DROPS Kid-Silk. Start from the right side and work the bands and rib as follows: 7 stitches BAND WITH I-CORD – read description above, * knit 2, purl 2 *, work from *-* until there are 9 stitches left, knit 2 and 7 stitches BAND WITH I-CORD. Work this rib back and forth for 4 cm = 1½", with the last row from the right side. Change to circular needle size 5 MM = US 8. Work as follows from the wrong side: 7 band stitches as before, purl and decrease 45-49-53-57-61-69 stitches evenly over the next 190-206-222-238-254-286 stitches, 7 band stitches as before = 159-171-183-195-207-231 stitches. Work as follows from the right side: The band as before – work the first BUTTONHOLE – read description above, work PATTERN A.1 over the first 30-35-36-36-42-47 stitches, knit 3-0-0-3-0-0, insert 1 marker-thread here, knit 6-8-12-12-12-14 (side), insert 1 marker-thread here, knit 4-0-1-4-1-0, work A.1 over the next 60-71-72-72-84-95 stitches, knit 3-0-0-3-0-0, insert 1 marker-thread here, knit 6-8-12-12-12-14 (side), insert 1 marker-thread here, knit 4-0-1-4-1-0, work A.1 over the next 29-35-35-35-41-47 stitches, work the band as before. Continue the bands and pattern, repeating A.1 in height with a lace pattern every 4th row (every 2nd row from the right side). REMEMBER THE KNITTING GAUGE! Work until the piece measures 27-29-30-31-32-33 cm = 10⅝"-11⅜"-11¾"-12¼"-12½"-13". Now start to decrease for the V-NECK – read description above. Continue the bands and A.1, and decrease for the V-neck on each side every 4th row 2 times, then every 2nd row 16-16-16-16-19-19 times, (a total of 18-18-18-18-21-21 stitches decreased on each side). NOTE! When decreasing for the V-neck, work any stitches which do not fit into the lace pattern in stockinette stitch. 3-3-3-3-4-4 repeats of A.1 are decreased on each front piece. AT THE SAME TIME when the piece measures 29-31-32-33-34-35 cm = 11⅜"-12¼"-12½"-13"-13⅜"-13¾", bind off for the armholes as follows: DIVIDE FOR ARMHOLES: On the next row from the right side divide for the armholes as follows: Work as before as far as the first marker-thread (right front piece), bind off 6-8-12-12-12-14 stitches for the armhole, work the next 67-71-73-79-85-95 stitches as before, 3rd marker-thread here (back piece), bind off 6-8-12-12-12-14 stitches for the armhole, work the remaining stitches as before (left front piece). The front and back pieces are finished separately. LEFT FRONT PIECE: The first row is from the wrong side. Work A.1 and the band as before, at the same time as you finish decreasing for the V-neck - making sure the pattern continues neatly. When the V-neck decreases are finished, there are 22-24-25-28-28-33 stitches on the front piece, with 2-3-3-3-3-4 repeats of the lace pattern on the shoulder. Continue working until the piece measures 48-51-53-55-57-59 cm = 19"-20"-21"-21⅝"-22½"-23¼". At the beginning of the next row from the armhole, bind off the first 15-17-18-21-21-26 stitches, leaving just the band. Work the band as before for a further 15-15-15-15-17-17 cm = 6"-6"-6"-6"-6¾"-6¾". Bind off. RIGHT FRONT PIECE: Work in the same way as the left front piece. BACK PIECE: = 67-71-73-79-85-95 stitches The first row is from the wrong side. Work A.1 back and forth as before – making sure the pattern continues neatly. When the piece measures 45-48-50-52-54-56 cm = 17¾"-19"-19¾"-20½"-21¼"-22", bind off the middle 33-33-33-33-39-39 stitches for the neckline and finish each shoulder separately. On the next row from the neck bind off 2 stitches = 15-17-18-21-21-26 shoulder stitches. Work until the piece measures 48-51-53-55-57-59 cm = 19"-20"-21"-21⅝"-22½"-23¼". Bind off. Work the other shoulder in the same way. SLEEVES: Cast on 56-56-64-64-72-72 stitches with double pointed needles size 3.5 MM = US 4 and 3 strands DROPS Kid-Silk. Work rib in the round (knit 2, purl 2) for 4 cm = 1½". Change to double pointed needles size 5 MM = US 8. Knit 1 round and decrease 14-14-16-16-18-18 stitches evenly spaced = 42-42-48-48-54-54 stitches. Insert 1 marker-thread at the beginning of the round. Work A.1 over all stitches. When the sleeve measures 11-6-9-7-7-7 cm = 4⅜"-2⅜"-3½"-2¾"-2¾"-2¾", increase 1 stitch on each side of the marker-thread – read INCREASE TIP. Increase like this every 5-5-5-4½-5-4 cm = 2"-2"-2"-1⅝"-2"-1½" a total of 8-9-8-9-8-9 times = 58-60-64-66-70-72 stitches. The new stitches are worked in stockinette stitch, while the repeats of A.1 are continued (always 7-7-8-8-9-9 repeats of A.1). Continue working until the sleeve measures 50-49-48-47-46-43 cm = 19¾"-19¼"-19"-18½"-18"-17", with the last round either row 1 or 3 in the diagram. Now divide at the marker-thread and continue back and forth until the sleeve measures 52-52-52-51-50-48 cm = 20½"-20½"-20½"-20"-19¾"-19". Bind off. ASSEMBLY: Sew the shoulder seams. Sew the sleeve cap to the armhole, inside 1 stitch. Sew the split at the top of the sleeve to the bottom of the armhole – see sketch. Sew the buttons onto the left band. Sew the bands together mid-back and sew the bands to the neckline. |

Ich möchte die Jacke Sunshine Trail Cardigan stricken. In der Anleitung steht "in 3 Fäden DROPS Kid-Silk" - heißt das dass ich mit 3 Fäden, d.h. 3 Knäuel gleichzeitig stricken muss? Vielen Dank im Voraus uns viele Grüße

Page 4 de 7 après avoir ouvert la première boutonnière, tricoter le point A.1 que veut dire ... (au-dessus des 36 premières mailles ?) et à combien de cm je dois faire les autres boutonnières en distance chacune?
20.03.2024 - 20:36DROPS Design answered:
Bonjour Mme Charron, pour tricoter A.1 au-dessus des 36 premières mailles, répétez simplement 6 fois au total les 6 mailles A.1 (6x6 = 36 mailles). Vous trouverez toutes les indications pour les boutonnières au début des explications, sous le paragraphe BOUTONNIÈRES:. Bon tricot!
