JACKET:

PATTERN: See diagram M.1 – diagram is seen from RS and shows 1 pattern repeat.

GARTER ST (back and forth on needle): K all rows.
----------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------

BODY PIECE: Worked back and forth on circular needle from mid front.
Cast on 314-354-394-434-474-514 sts on circular needle size 2.5 mm / US 1 with 1 thread black Alpaca + 1 thread Glitter. Work rib as follows (first row = RS): 1 edge st in GARTER ST – see above, * K2 / P3 *, repeat from *-* until 3 sts remain, K2, 1 edge st in GARTER ST. Continue like this until piece measures 2 cm / 3/4’’, now dec all P3 to P2 (as seen from RS) = 252-284-316-348-380-412 sts. Continue in rib, K2 / P2, with 1 edge st in garter st each side. When piece measures 12 cm / 4¾’’ dec all P2 to P1 (as seen from RS) = 190-214-238-262-286-310 sts. Change to circular needle size 3 mm / US 2or3 and continue in stockinette st. REMEMBER THE GAUGE!
When piece measures 40-41-42-43-44-45 cm / 15¾’’-16 1/8’’-16½’’-17’’-17¼’’-17¾’’ work next row as follows from RS: 41-47-54-59-65-71 sts (= front piece), bind off 12 sts for armhole, 84-96-106-120-132-144 sts (= back piece), bind off 12 sts for armhole, 41-47-54-59-65-71 sts (= front piece) = 166-190-214-238-262-286 sts left on needle.
Put piece aside and knit the sleeves.

SLEEVE: Worked in the round on double pointed needles. Cast on 80-80-80-88-88-88 sts on double pointed needles size 2.5 mm / US 1 with 1 thread black Alpaca + 1 thread Glitter. Work rib, K2 / P2. When piece measures 10 cm / 4’’ dec all P2 to P1 = 60-60-60-66-66-66 sts. Insert a marker at beg of round. Change to double pointed needles size 3 mm / US 2or3 and continue in stockinette st. When piece measures 11-11-11-14-14-14 cm inc 1 st each side of marker mid under sleeve, repeat the inc on every 4.5-3.5-2.5-2.5-2-2 cm / 1¾”-1¼”-7/8”-7/8”-3/4”-3/4” a total of 8-11-14-13-15-17 times = 76-82-88-92-96-100 sts. When piece measures 48 cm / 19” bind off 12 sts mid under sleeve = 64-70-76-80-84-88 sts left on needle. Put piece aside and knit the other sleeve.

YOKE: Slip sleeves on the same circular needle size 3 mm / US 2or3 as body piece where bind off for armhole = 294-330-366-398-430-462 sts. Work 3-5-9-13-15-17 rows stockinette st with black Alpaca + Glitter, AT THE SAME TIME on first row dec 5-8-11-10-9-8 sts evenly = 289-322-355-388-421-454 sts. Now continue in M.1 (first row = RS) with 1 edge st in garter st each side, work the last but 1 st on row like first st in M.1, but without the dec, to make the pattern identical on both front pieces. When all dec are complete there are 107-119-131-143-155-167 sts on needle and piece measures approx 58-60-62-64-66-68 cm / 22¾’’-23 5/8’’-24 3/8’’-25¼’’-26’’-26¾’’.
Work 1 row with off-white (from WS), AT THE SAME TIME dec 15-19-23-27-31-35 sts evenly = 92-100-108-116-124-132 sts. Now work shortened rows mid back with off-white as follows: Work 56-60-64-68-72-76 sts, turn, work 20 sts, turn, work 30 sts, turn, work 40 sts. Continue like this with 10 more sts before each turn until you have worked shortened rows on a total of 60-80-80-100-120 sts, turn and work return row and work 1 row on all sts. Slip sts on a stitch holder.

LEFT FRONT BAND: Pick up approx 180 to 212 sts (divisible by 4) inside 1 edge st along left front piece with 1 thread black Alpaca + 1 thread Glitter on circular needle size 2.5 mm. Work rib as follows (first row = WS): 1 edge st in garter st, * P2 / K2 *, repeat from *-* and finish with P2 and 1 edge st in garter st. Continue with K over K and P over P until rib measures 3 cm / 1 1/8’’, bind off loosely.

RIGHT FRONT BAND: Like left front band, but after 1 cm / 3/8’’ make 9 buttonholes evenly distributed (make buttonholes in P-sections as seen from RS). 1 BUTTONHOLE = P2 tog and make 1 YO – place the bottom buttonhole in the 2nd P-section and the top one approx 6 cm / 2 3/8’’ from neckline (the last buttonhole is made on the neck).

NECK: Worked with 1 thread black Alpaca + 1 thread Glitter on circular needle size 2.5 mm / US 1 as follows: Pick up 8 sts on right front band (inside 1 edge st), work the 92-100-108-116-124-132 sts from stitch holder back on needle and pick up 8 sts on left front band = 108-116-124-132-140-148 sts. P 1 row from WS, AT THE SAME TIME inc 20 sts evenly = 128-136-144-152-160-168 sts. Continue in rib as follows (from RS): 1 edge st in garter st, * K2 / P2 *, repeat from *-* and finish with K2 and 1 edge st in garter st. Continue with K over K and P over P. When neck measures 1 cm / 3/8’’ make 1 buttonhole in line with the others on front band. When neck measures 3 cm / 1 1/8’’ bind off with K over K and P over P.

ASSEMBLY: Sew on buttons. Sew openings under sleeves.

PATTERN:
See diagram M.2 – diagram shows 1 pattern repeat. We knitted the socks without Glitter.

DECREASING TIP:
Dec as follows before marker: K2 tog.
Dec as follows after marker: K2 tog into back of loop.

HEEL DECREASES:
Row 1 (= RS): Work row until 8-9-9 sts remain, K2 tog into back of loop, turn piece.
Row 2 (= WS): Work row until 8-9-9 sts remain, P2 tog, turn piece.
Row 3 (= RS): Work row until 7-8-8 sts remain, K2 tog into back of loop, turn piece.
Row 4 (= WS): Work row until 7-8-8 sts remain, P2 tog, turn piece.
Continue dec like this with 1 less st before each dec until there are 14-14-16 sts on needle.
----------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------

SOCKS: Worked in the round on double pointed needles.
Cast on 108-108-116 sts on double pointed needles size 2.5 mm / US 1 with off-white. Work rib, K2 / P2 for 8 cm / 3 1/8’’.
K 1 round, AT THE SAME TIME dec 20 sts evenly = 88-88-96 sts. Continue in M.2. REMEMBER THE GAUGE!
After M.2 piece measures approx 21 cm / 8¼”. Insert a marker at beg of round. Continue in black stockinette st, AT THE SAME TIME dec 1 st each side of marker – SEE DECREASING TIP, and repeat the dec on every 4-5-5 round a total of 16-14-16 times = 56-60-64 sts. When piece measures 42-44-46 cm / 16½”-17¼”-18” keep the first 28-30-32 sts on needle for heel and slip the remaining 28-30-32 sts on a stitch holder (= mid upper foot).
Continue in stockinette st back and forth on heel-sts for 5-5.5-6 cm / 2’’-2¼’’-2 3/8’’ - insert a marker. Now work HEEL DECREASES – see above.
After heel dec pick up 13-14-16 sts each side of heel and slip the 28-30-32 sts from stitch holder back on needle = 68-72-80 sts. Insert a marker each side of the 28-30-32 sts on upper foot. Continue in stockinette st in the round, AT THE SAME TIME dec each side as follows: K tog into back of loop the last 2 sts BEFORE first marker on upper foot, and K tog the first 2 sts AFTER the second marker on upper foot. Repeat the dec on every other round a total of 8-8-10 times = 52-56-60 sts. Continue until piece measures 18-19-22 cm / 7”-7½”-8¾” from marker on heel (= approx 4-5-5 cm / 1½”-2”-2” remain). Insert a marker each side with 26-28-30 sts on upper foot and 26-28-30 sts under foot. Continue in stockinette st AT THE SAME TIME dec for toes each side of both markers as follows: Before marker: K2 tog. After marker: K2 tog into back of loop.
Repeat the dec on every other round a total of 4-5-5 times and then on every round 7-7-8 times = 8 sts left on needle. Cut the thread, pull it through remaining sts, tighten and fasten.

Knitting tension is what determines the final measurements of your work, and is usually measured per 10 x 10 cm. It is provided like so: number of stitches in width x number of rows in height - eg: 19 stitches x 26 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

The knitting tension is very individual; some people knit/crochet loosely while others work tightly. You adjust the knitting tension with the needle size, which is why the suggested needle size only serve as a guide! You need to adjust this (up or down) to ensure that YOUR knitting tension matches the knitting tension provided in the pattern. If you work with a different knitting tension than provided you will have a different yarn consumption, and your work will have different measurements than what the pattern suggests.

The knitting tension also determines which yarns can replace each other. As long as you achieve the same knitting tension you can replace one yarn with another.

See DROPS lesson: How to measure your tension/gauge

See DROPS video: How to make a gauge tension swatch

The required amount of yarn is provided in grams, eg: 450 g. To calculate how many balls you’ll need you first need to know how many grams are in 1 ball (25g, 50g or 100g). This information is available if you click on the individual yarn quality on our pages. Divide the amount required with the amount of each ball. For example, if each ball is 50g (the most common amount), the calculation will be as follows: 450 / 50 = 9 balls.

The important thing when changing from one yarn to another is that the knitting/crochet tension remains the same. This is so that the measurements of the finished piece will be the same as on the sketch provided. It is easier to achieve the same knitting tension using yarns from the same yarn group. It is also possible to work with multiple strands of a thinner yarn to achieve the knitting tension of a thicker one. Please try our yarn converter. We recommend you to always work a test swatch.

Please NOTE: when changing yarn the garment might have a different look and feel to the garment in the photo, due to individual properties and qualities of each yarn.

See DROPS lesson: Can I use a different yarn than the one mentioned in the pattern?

All our yarns are categorised into yarn groups (from A to F) according to thickness and knitting tension – group A contains the thinnest yarns and group F the thickest. This makes it easier for you to find alternative yarns to our patterns, should you wish to switch yarn. All yarns within the same group have a similar knitting tension and can easily replace each other. However, different yarn qualities have different structures and properties which will give the finished work a unique look and feel.

Click here for an overview of the yarns in each yarn group

At the top of all our patterns you’ll find a link to our yarn converter, which is a helpful tool should you wish to use a different yarn than suggested. By filling in the yarn quality you wish to replace, the amount (in your size) and number of strands, the converter will present good alternative yarns with the same knitting tension. Additionally it will tell you how much you’ll require in the new qualities and whether you’ll need to work with multiple strands. Most skeins are 50g (some are 25g or 100g).

If the pattern is worked with multiple colours, every colour will have to be converted separately. Similarly, if the pattern is worked with several strands of different yarns (for example 1 strand Alpaca and 1 strand Kid-Silk) you will have to find alternatives for each, individually.

Click here to see our yarn converter

Since different yarns have different qualities and textures we have chosen to keep the original yarn in our patterns. However, you can easily find options among our available qualities by using our yarn converter, or simply pick a yarn from the same yarn group.

It is possible that some retailers still have discontinued yarns in stock, or that someone has a few skeins at home that they would like to find patterns for.

The yarn converter will provide both alternative yarn as well as required amount in the new quality.

If you think it's hard to decide what size to make, it can be a good idea to measure a garment you own already and like the size of. Then you can pick the size by comparing those measures with the ones available in the pattern's size chart.

You'll find the size chart at the bottom of the pattern.

See DROPS lesson: How to read size chart

The needle size provided in the pattern serves only as a guide, the important thing is to follow the knitting tension. And since knitting tension is very individual, you will have to adjust the needle size to ensure that YOUR tension is the same as in the pattern – maybe you’ll have to adjust 1, or even 2 needle sizes, up or down to achieve the correct tension. For this, we recommend that you work test swatches.

Should you work with a different knitting tension than the one provided, the measurements of the finished garment might deviate from the measurement sketch.

See DROPS lesson: How to measure your tension/gauge

See DROPS video: How to make a gauge tension swatch

Working a garment top-down provides more flexibility and room for personal adjustment. For example it is easier to try the garment on while working, as well as making adjustments to length of yoke and shoulder caps.

The instructions are carefully explaining every step, in the correct order. Diagrams are adjusted to the knitting direction and are worked as usual.

The diagram depicts all rows/rounds, and every stitch seen from the right side. It is read from bottom to top, from right to left. 1 square = 1 stitch.

When working back and forth, every other row is worked from the right side and every other row is worked from the wrong side. When working from the wrong side, the diagram will have to be worked reversed: from left to right, knit stitches are purled, purl stitches are knit etc.

When working in the round every round is worked from the right side and the diagram are worked from right to left on all rounds.

See DROPS lesson: How to read knitting diagrams

The diagram depicts all rows/rounds, and every stitch seen from the right side. It is worked from bottom to top, from right to left.

When working back and forth every other row is worked from the right side: from right to left and every other row is worked from the wrong side: from left to right.

When working in the round, every row in the diagram are worked from the right side, from right to left.

When working a circular diagram you start in the middle and work your way outwards, counter clockwise, row by row.

The rows usually start with a given number of chain stitches (equivalent to the height of the following stitch), this will either be depicted in the diagram or explained in the pattern.

See DROPS lesson: How to read crochet diagrams

Instructions for working several diagrams after each other on the same row/round, will often be written like so: “work A.1, A.2, A.3 a total of 0-0-2-3-4 times". This means you work A.1 once, then A.2 is worked once, and A.3 is repeated (in width) the number of times provided for your size – in this case like so: S = 0 times, M = 0 times, L=2 times, XL= 3 times and XXL = 4 times.

The diagrams are worked as usual: begin with the first row in A.1, then work the first row in A.2 etc.

See DROPS lesson: How to read knitting diagrams

See DROPS lesson: How to read crochet diagrams

The total width of the garment (from wrist-to-wrist) will be larger in the larger sizes, despite the actual sleeves being shorter. The larger sizes have longer sleeve caps and wider shoulders, so there will be a good fit in all sizes.

The measurement sketch/schematic drawing provides information regarding the full length of the garment. If it’s a jumper or a jacket the length is measured from the highest point on the shoulder (usually closest to the neckline), and straight down to the bottom of the garment. It is NOT measured from the tip of shoulder. Similarly, the length of yoke is measured from the highest point on the shoulder and down to where yoke is split into body and sleeves.

See DROPS lesson: How to read a schematic drawing

Diagrams are often repeated on the round or in height. 1 repeat is the diagram the way it appears in the pattern. If it says to work 5 repeats of A.1 in the round, then you work A.1 a total of 5 times after/next to each other in the round. If it says to work 2 repeats of A.1 vertically/in height you work the entire diagram once, then begin again at the start and work the entire diagram one more time.

Chain stitches are slightly narrower than other stitches and to avoid working the cast-on edge too tight, we simply chain more stitches to begin with. The stitch count will be adjusted on the following row to fit the pattern and measurement sketch.

The rib edge is more elastic and will contract slightly compared to, for example, stocking stitch. By increasing before the rib edge, you avoid a visible difference in width between the rib edge and the rest of the body.

It’s very easy to cast off too tightly, and by making yarn overs while casting off (and simultaneously casting these off) you avoid a too tight cast off edge.

See DROPS video: How to bind off with yarn overs (yo)

To achieve an even increase (or decrease) you can increase on, for example: every 3rd and 4th row alternately, like so: work 2 rows and increase on the 3rd row, work 3 rows and increase on the 4th. Repeat this until the increase is complete.

See DROPS lesson: Increase or decrease 1 st on every 3rd and 4th row alternately

Should you prefer to work in the round instead of back and forth, you may of course adjust the pattern. You’ll need to add steeks mid-front (usually 5 stitches), and follow the instructions. When you would normally turn and work from the wrong side, simply work across the steek and continue in the round. At the end you’ll cut the piece open, pick up stitches to work bands, and cover the cut edges.

See DROPS video: How to knit steeks and cut open

Should you prefer to work back and forth instead of in the round, you may of course adjust the pattern so you work the pieces separately and then assemble them at the end. Divide the stitches for the body in 2, add 1 edge stitch in each side (for sewing) and work the front and back pieces separately.

See DROPS lesson: Can I adapt a pattern for circular needles into straight needles?

Pattern repeats can vary slightly in the different sizes, in order to get the correct proportions. If you’re not working the exact same size as the garment in the photo, yours might deviate slightly. This has been carefully developed and adjusted so that the complete impression of the garment is the same in all sizes.

Make sure to follow instructions and diagrams for your size!

If you have found a pattern you like which is available in women’s size it’s not very difficult to convert it to men’s size. The biggest difference will be the length of sleeves and body. Start working on the women size that you think would fit across the chest. The additional length will be worked right before you cast off for the armhole/sleeve cap. If the pattern is worked top-down you can add the length right after the armhole or before the first decrease on sleeve.

Regarding additional yarn amount, this will depend on how much length you add, but it is better with a skein too many than too few.

All yarns will have excess fibres (from production) that might come off as lint or shedding. Brushed yarns (ie hairier yarns) have more of these loose, excess fibres, causing more shedding.

Shedding also depends on what is worn under or over the garment, and whether this pulls at the yarn fibres. It’s therefore not possible to guarantee that there will be no shedding

Below are some tips on how to get the best result when working with hairier yarns:

1. When the garment is finished (before you wash it) shake it vigorously so the looser hairs come off. NOTE: do NOT use a lint roller, brush or any method that pulls at the yarn.

2. Place the garment in a plastic bag and put it in your freezer - the temperature will cause the fibres to become less attached to each other, and excess fibres will come off easier.

3. Leave in the freezer for a few hours before taking it out and shaking it again.

4. Wash the garment according to the instructions on the yarn label.

Pilling is a natural process that happens to even the most exclusive of fibers. It's a natural sign of wear and tear that is hard to avoid, and that is most visible in high friction areas of your garment like a sweater's arms and cuffs.

You can make your garment look as new by removing the pilling, using a fabric comb or a pill/lint remover.

In this pattern there are different versions. I can't seem to find the one with the turtle neck top. Every time I click on the link to the turtleneck version , they bring me to the same pattern with the buttons. Can you help me with a link to the turtleneck pattern. Thanks Anna

DROPS Design answered:

Dear Mrs Fedel, we only provide the pattern for the jacket, and we are unfortunately unable to adjust every pattern to every single request; the version with turtleneck is a project from one of our customer - read more on her project there or contact your yarn store / any knitting forum for further individual assistance. Thanks for your comprehension. Happy knitting!

Hello all, In the Ravelry page for this pattern, are images of the pattern done as a sweater rather than as a cardigan, and this is what I would like to make. I see that Lucia from ITaly has also asked this question - how did those images arise if you don't offer the sweater version? Did the people who made up the pattern do the necessary conversion themselves? Could you not offer it easily enough:)? It's so pretty, but I'd far rather do it as a sweater than as a cardigan...thank you!

15.05.2023 - 19:22

DROPS Design answered:

Dear Catherine, we don't have a sweater pattern and we don't make custom patterns. Those who wanted it as a sweater may have done the modifications themselves. You can modify the pattern by removing one edge and working everything in the round in a single piece, starting the pattern in the middle of the back so that the pattern will be well centered. Happy knitting!

Hi, I am knitting the jacket size L, and have reached the yoke part, where I start M1. The chart has 11 stitches, but I have 355 stitches. This means there are 3 stitches overlapping chart. Since the first row to introduce colour in WS, I am very confused. Do I k1. Then purl 3 in mc, and then 1 in cc? If do, I have 9 mc stitches at the end of the row, and that isn’t symmetrical. Help!;)

DROPS Design answered:

Dear Fiona, work the diagram M.1 as follows: 1 edge stitch in garter stitch, repeat the 11 sts in M.1 a total of 32 times (over the next 352 sts), work the first stitch in M.1 and finish with 1 edge stitch in garter stitch. When working the first row with colours you will work: 1 edge st with mc, P1 with mc (first st M.1), then (p4 with mc, p1 with cc, p6 with mc) and repeat from (-) all the row ending with 1 st in garter stitch. Happy knititng!

Buonasera, vorrei fare questa maglia ma senza l'apertura davanti, come devo fare? Esiste un modello chiuso? Grazie

DROPS Design answered:

Buonasera Lucia, di questo modello non è presente al momento la versione chiusa, ma ci sono tanti altri modelli con sproni lavorati tra cui scegliere. Buon lavoro!

Hi. For the body piece, you wrote "3 sts remain, K2, 1 edge st in GARTER ST". Is the edge stitch here just a knit stitch? Then why didn't you write "K3"?

DROPS Design answered:

Hi Mia, We write garter stitch because the edge stitches are knitted both from the right and wrong sides (definition of garter stitch) whereas the knitted stitches in the rib are purled from the wrong side. Happy festive season!

Hello, I am from Canada, I would like to ask where can I find the price please? And do you have shipment to Canada? If yes how much would it be? Best wishes Lida

DROPS Design answered:

Hi Lida, If you search online, you will find stores which supply Drops yarns in Canada. They will give you the price and how much shipment costs if you do not have a store near you. Happy crafting!

Hallo, ik heb 3 maal dit patroon gechecked maar vind nergens de stekenverhouding (swatch of gauge). Kan iemand mij de stekenverhouding zeggen aub? Alvast bedankt!

Dag Marina,

Onderaan de materialenlijst staat de stekenverhouding: DROPS BREINLD ZONDER KNOP 2.5 mm – of de maat die u nodig heeft voor een stekenverhouding van 26 st x 34 nld in tricotst = 10 x 10 cm.

Bonjour, Je ne sais pas quelles aiguilles choisir. Mon échantillon mesure 9x9cm avec des n3 et 10,5x10,5cm en n3,5. Je préfère le résultat obtenu avec les n3 et j’ai lu dans les commentaires que le modèle taillait petit. Faut-il que je conserve mes aiguilles n3 , mais que je tricote une taille au-dessus ? Belle journée à vous

DROPS Design answered:

Bonjour Carole, pour trouver votre taille dans un premier temps, mesurez un vêtement similaire que vous avez et dont vous aimez la taille, puis comparez ces mesures à celles du schéma, vous trouverez ainsi la taille à suivre (voir aussi ici) - essayez de laver/laisser sécher votre échantillon pour vérifier si vous avez une différence avant/après; si vous n'avez pas la bonne tension, vous devrez recalculer entièrement le modèle en largeur mais aussi en hauteur peut-être - cette leçon pourra vous aider. Bon tricot!

Buongiorno, vorrei segnalare che nel motivo M1 dalla riga 37 il motivo non coincide. Esiste una correzione a riguardo? Grazie

DROPS Design answered:

Buongiorno Maria Cristina, può spiegarci meglio il suo problema? Alla riga 37 di M.1 viene diminuita 1 maglia per ripetizione e nella riga successiva il numero di maglie è corretto. Buon lavoro!
