------------------------------------------------------- EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN ------------------------------------------------------- PATTERN: See diagram A.1. The diagram shows all rows in the pattern from the right side. RIDGE/GARTER STITCH (worked back and forth): Knit all rows. 1 ridge = knit 2 rows. INCREASE TIP (evenly spaced): To work out how to increase evenly, count the total number of stitches on the needle (e.g. 70 stitches) minus the front band stitches (= 4 stitches) and divide the remaining stitches by the number of increases to be made (e.g. 7) = 9.4. In this example, increase by making 1 yarn over after each 9th stitch. On the next row purl the yarn overs twisted to avoid holes. BUTTONHOLES: Work buttonholes on the right band (when the garment is worn). Work from the right side when there are 3 stitches left on the row as follows: Make 1 yarn over, knit 2 together and knit 1. On the next row knit the yarn over to leave a hole. The first buttonhole is worked approx. 1 cm below the neck. Then the other 5-5-5-6-6-6 buttonholes are worked with 9½-9½-10-9-9-9 cm between each one. RAGLAN: Increase 1 stitch on each side of 7 stitches (= A.1) in the transitions between the body and sleeves (= 8 stitches increased on the row). Increase 1 stitch by making 1 yarn over. On the next row purl the yarn overs twisted to avoid holes. Then work the new stitches in stocking stitch. DECREASE TIP (for sleeves): Decrease 1 stitch on either side of the marker thread as follows: Work until there are 3 stitches left before the marker thread, knit 2 together, knit 2 (marker thread 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). 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 neck and yoke are worked back and forth with circular needle, from mid front and top down. The yoke is divided for the body and sleeves and the body is continued back and forth with circular needle as far as the split, when each section is finished separately. The sleeves are worked in the round with double pointed needles/short circular needle, top down. DOUBLE NECK: Cast on 107-107-115-115-129-133 stitches (including 5 band stitches on each side towards mid-front) with circular needle size 4.5 mm and 2 strands Brushed Alpaca Silk. Remove 1 strand and continue with just 1 strand. Purl 1 row from the wrong side. The next row is worked from the right side as follows: 5 band stitches in GARTER STITCH – read description above, knit 1 twisted, * purl 1, knit 1 twisted *, work from *-* over the next 10-10-12-12-16-16 stitches, work A.1 (= 7 stitches), * knit 1 twisted, purl 1 *, repeat from *-* over the next 12 stitches, knit 1 twisted, work A.1, * knit 1 twisted, purl 1 *, work from *-* over the next 20-20-24-24-30-34 stitches, knit 1 twisted, work A.1, * knit 1 twisted, purl 1 *, repeat from *-* over the next 12 stitches, knit 1 twisted, work A.1, * knit 1 twisted, purl 1 *, work from *-* over the next 10-10-12-12-16-16 stitches, knit 1 twisted, 5 band stitches in garter stitch. Continue this rib for 12 cm. The neck will be folded double later. Insert 1 marker after the band at the beginning of the row; the yoke is measured from this marker. YOKE: Change to circular needle size 5.5 mm and work as follows from the right side: 5 band stitches in garter stitch, knit 11-11-13-13-17-17 and decrease 2-1-1-1-2-0 stitches over these stitches (= 9-10-12-12-15-17 stitches), A.1, knit 13 and decrease 3 stitches over these stitches (= 10 stitches), A.1, knit 21-21-25-25-31-35 and decrease 3-1-1-1-1-1 stitches over these stitches (= 18-20-24-24-30-34 stitches), A.1, knit 13 and decrease 3 stitches over these stitches (= 10 stitches), A.1, knit 11-11-13-13-17-17 and decrease 2-1-1-1-2-0 stitches over these stitches (= 9-10-12-12-15-17 stitches), 5 band stitches in garter stitch = 94-98-106-106-118-126 stitches. Remember the BUTTONHOLES on the right band – read description above. Continue the pattern, AT THE SAME TIME, on the next row from the right side begin to increase to RAGLAN – read description above (= 8 stitches increased). Increase every 2nd row (= each row from the right side), a total of 16-18-20-22-25-26 times = 222-242-266-282-318-334 stitches. REMEMBER THE KNITTING TENSION! Continue working without further increases until the piece measures 22-24-26-28-30-32 cm from the marker. Now divide for the body and sleeves as follows: Work the first 37-40-44-46-52-55 stitches as before (= left front piece), place the next 42-46-50-54-60-62 stitches on a thread for the sleeve, cast on 6-6-6-8-8-10 stitches (= in side under sleeve), work the next 64-70-78-82-94-100 stitches (= back piece), place the next 42-46-50-54-60-62 stitches on a thread for the sleeve, cast on 6-6-6-8-8-10 stitches (= in side under sleeve), work the remaining 37-40-44-46-52-55 stitches (= right front piece). BODY: = 150-162-178-190-214-230 stitches. Insert 1 marker in each side, in the middle of the 6-6-6-8-8-10 new stitches under each sleeve. Allow the markers to follow your work onwards; they will be used when dividing for the split. Continue back and forth, with stocking stitch and 5 band stitches in garter stitch on each side until the piece measures 20 cm from the division – finish after a row from the wrong side. There is approx. 12 cm left to finished length; try the jacket on and work to desired length. Now divide the piece at each marker and finish each piece separately. LEFT FRONT PIECE (when the garment is worn): = 40-43-47-50-56-60 stitches. Knit 1 row from the right side and increase 4-5-5-6-6-6 stitches evenly spaced – read INCREASE TIP = 44-48-52-56-62-66 stitches. Purl 1 row from the wrong side with 5 band stitches in garter stitch towards mid-front and 2 stitches in garter stitch towards the split. Change to circular needle size 4.5 mm and work the next row from the right side as follows: 5 band stitches in garter stitch, * knit 1 twisted, purl 1 *, work from *-* until there are 3 stitches left, knit 1 twisted and 2 stitches in garter stitch. From the wrong side the rib is worked as follows: 2 stitches in garter stitch, purl 1 twisted * knit 1, purl 1 twisted *, work from *-* until there are 5 stitches left, 5 band stitches in garter stitch. Continue this rib for 12 cm. Loosely cast off with garter stitch over garter stitch, knit over knit and purl over purl – read CASTING-OFF TIP. The jacket measures approx. 58-60-62-64-66-68 cm from the shoulder down. RIGHT FRONT PIECE: = 40-43-47-50-56-60 stitches. Knit 1 row from the right side and increase 4-5-5-6-6-6 stitches evenly spaced = 44-48-52-56-62-66 stitches. Purl 1 row from the wrong side with 5 band stitches in garter stitch towards mid-front and 2 stitches in garter stitch towards the split. Change to circular needle size 4.5 mm and work the next row from the right side as follows: 2 stitches in garter stitch, * knit 1 twisted, purl 1 *, work from *-* until there are 6 stitches left, knit 1 twisted and 5 band stitches in garter stitch. Continue this rib for 12 cm. Loosely cast off with garter stitch over garter stitch, knit over knit and purl over purl – remember CASTING-OFF TIP. BACK PIECE: = 70-76-84-90-102-110 stitches. Knit 1 row from the right side and increase 7-7-9-9-11-11 stitches evenly spaced = 77-83-93-99-113-121 stitches. Purl 1 row from the wrong side with 2 stitches in garter stitch on each side. Change to circular needle size 4.5 mm and work the next row from the right side as follows: 2 stitches in garter stitch, * knit 1 twisted, purl 1 *, work from *-* until there are 3 stitches left, knit 1 twisted and 2 stitches in garter stitch. Continue this rib for 12 cm. Loosely cast off with garter stitch over garter stitch, knit over knit and purl over purl – remember CASTING-OFF TIP. SLEEVES: Place the 42-46-50-54-60-62 stitches from the thread on the one side of the piece on double pointed needles/short circular needle size 5.5 mm and knit up 1 stitch in each of the 6-6-6-8-8-10 stitches cast on under the sleeve = 48-52-56-62-68-72 stitches. Insert a marker thread in the middle of the new stitches under the sleeve. Work stocking stitch in the round, AT THE SAME TIME when the sleeve measures 4 cm, decrease 2 stitches under the sleeve – read DECREASE TIP. Decrease like this every 7-4-3½-2½-1½-1½ cm a total of 4-5-6-8-9-10 times = 40-42-44-46-50-52 stitches. Continue working until the sleeve measures 28-26-24-23-20-18 cm. Change to double pointed needles size 4.5 mm and work rib (knit 1 twisted, purl 1) for 12 cm. Cast off with knit over knit and purl over purl. The sleeve measures approx. 40-38-36-35-32-30 cm from the division. Work the other sleeve in the same way. ASSEMBLY: Sew the buttons onto the left band. Fold the neck double to the wrong side and sew down. To avoid the neck being tight and rolling outwards, it is important that the seam is elastic. Sew the openings at the ends of the neck with small stitches. |

Jeg er ved at strikke ærmer og kan ikke få målene til at passe. Jeg stikker en str. L og jeg kan ikke få det til at passe at ærmet kun skal være 36 cm fra armhulen og ud til håndledet. Kan I hjælpe mig med de rigtige mål?

Hej Anne, du har allerede 26 cm til ærmekuppel og når du lægger de 24+12 masker til så bliver ærmet totalt 62 cm lang :)

I am knitting the Drops Design knitted jacket. Following the diagram it would appear that the Fisherman’s knit is every second row which puts one design in the front the other in the back. What am I doing wrong
05.04.2023 - 15:25DROPS Design answered:
Dear Jo-Ann, since it's worked every 2nd row, it's worked always on an odd-numbered row, which are always worked on the right side. So the Fisherman's knit is always on the right side. Happy knitting!

Beste, Ik ben het patroon City Stride aan het breien. Bij de dubbele hals staat er dat je na de 5 ribbelsteken begint met een gedraaide recht. Als ik alle pennen zo brei, dan krijg ik gerstekorrel. Er staat niet dat ik aan de verkeerde kant de steken zo moet breien als ik ze tegen kom. Alleen dan krijg ik boordsteek. Wat is nu wat ik moet doen? Op de foto zie ik toch echt boordsteek. Graag uw hulp, vast dank, Groet, Janine

Dag Janine,
Het staat inderdaad niet duidelijk aangegeven, maar waar je gedraaid recht op de goede kant breit, moet je gedraaid averecht op de verkeerde kant breien.

När man stickar resårstickning längst ner på ärmarna så blir det sån gles och tunn stickning. Beror det på att man inte stickar vridna avigs m ? Bara vridna räta. Ska det vara så man gör iallafall?

Hei Gertrud. Man strikker vrangborden med 1 vridd rett / 1 vrang for å skape en annen struktur enn en "vanlig vrangbord med 1 rett / 1 vrang. Om du heller vil strikke 1 rett / 1 vrang istedenfor, kan du fint gjøre det. mvh DROPS Design

Hello, I would like to know if it's ok or not to use 1 strand of yarn instead of 2 strands when casted on for the neck. I didn't realize to use 2 strands until half way done... hopefully it's ok and I don't have to take it apart... Could you please let me know? Thank you very much for your kind help!
02.01.2022 - 17:24DROPS Design answered:
Dear Mrs Sui, this jacket is worked with only 1 strand Brushed Alpaca Silk, only cast on is worked with 2 strands to keep an elastic edge (see this video as an example). Just remember to check and keep correct tension. Happy knitting!

Ik kom er niet uit. Het werk verdelen voor het lijf en mouwen. Ik moet 6 steken opzetten, in de zijkant van de mouw. Ik begrijp hieruit dat ik die moet zetten op de hulpdraad? Of op rechter-en linkervoorpand?

Dag Berber,
Je breit de eerste 37-40-44-46-52-55 steken zoals hiervoor en op dezelfde naald waarmee je aan het breien bent zet je 6 steken op. De volgende 42-46-50-54-60-62 steken zet je op een hulpdraad. Dan ga je verder met breien met de naald waar je mee bezig was. Dus je had zojuist 6 steken op die naald gezet en nu brei je verder over het achterpand. Het zelfde doe je bij de andere mouw.

Hei Aase. Ikke helt lik diagramikon, men teknikken er den samme. Å stikke høyre pinne gjennom masken fra forrige rad (dvs gjennom masken under neste maske), strikk 1 maske rett og slipp maskene av venstre pinne. Hvordan strikke 1 rett i masken fra forrige omgang mvh DROPS Design

Hej Gertrud. De maskor som du stickar vridet räta på rätsidan stickas vridet aviga på avigsidan, och de maskor du stickar vanligt aviga på rätsidan stickar du vanligt räta på avigsidan. (Framkantsmaskorna stickas i rätstickning och A.1 enligt diagram). Mvh DROPS Design
