------------------------------------------------------- EXPLANATION FOR THE PATTERN: ------------------------------------------------------- GARTER STITCH (back and forth): Knit all rows. 1 ridge vertically = knit 2 rows. PATTERN: See diagrams A.1 and A.2. Choose diagram for your size. DECREASE TIP (applies to sleeves in size L-XL-XXL-XXXL): Decrease 1 stitch on each side of marker as follows: Work until 3 stitches remain before marker, knit 2 together, knit 2 (marker is between these stitches), slip 1 stitch knitwise, knit 1, pass slipped stitch over stitch worked. BUTTONHOLES: Decrease for 6-6-7-7-7-7 buttonholes on right band. 1 buttonhole = work 2 stitches together, make 1 yarn over - NOTE: It will look nicer if you decrease for buttonhole by purling 2 together in a section with 2 purl stitches (seen from right side). On next row knit yarn over to make holes. Bottom buttonhole should be approx. 4 cm = 1½" from bottom edge, and top buttonhole approx. 1 cm = ⅜" from neck edge. Place the remaining 4-4-5-5-5-5 buttonholes evenly, approx. 9-9½-8½-8½-9-9½ cm = 3½"-3⅝"-3¼"-3¼"-3½"-3⅝" between each buttonhole. BIND-OFF TIP: To avoid a tight bind-off edge you may use a larger needle size. If this also is too tight, work a 1 yarn over after approx. every 4th stitch while binding off (bind off yarn overs as regular stitches). ------------------------------------------------------- START THE PIECE HERE: ------------------------------------------------------- JACKET - SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE: Worked in one piece from the top down. Fold neck edge double during assembly. Increase out for shoulder and sleeve cap. Now divide yoke for body and sleeves. Work body back and forth on circular needle.

NECK EDGE: Cast on 82-86-90-94-98-102 stitches (including 5 band stitches in each side towards mid front) on circular needle size 4.5 mm = US 7 with Nepal. Purl 1 row from wrong side. Then work rib from right side as follows: Work 1 stitch in GARTER STITCH - read explanation above, knit 1, purl 2, * knit 2, purl 2 *, repeat from *-* until 2 stitches remain, finish with knit 1 and 1 stitch in garter stitch. Continue rib like this for 6 cm = 2⅜". On next row from right side bind off the 5 first stitches, work in stockinette stitch and increase 4-8-16-12-24-30 stitches evenly until 5 stitches remain, knit 2, purl 2 and 1 stitch in garter stitch over the last 5 stitches. On next row from wrong side bind off the first 5 stitches work in stockinette stitch the rest of row. = 76-84-96-96-112-122 stitches. Switch to circular needle size 5.5 mm = US 9.

Work rib, begin from wrong side as follows: 2 stitches in garter stitch, * purl 2, knit 2 *, repeat from *-* until 1 stitch remains, and finish with 1 stitch in garter stitch. Continue rib like this until band measures approx. 3 cm = 1⅛" (adjust measurement with stitches bind off on neck edge). Bind off stitches with knit over knit and purl over purl. RIGHT BAND: Begin at the bottom of jacket on right front piece and pick up stitches inside 1 edge stitch in garter stitch. Pick up same number of stitches that were picked up on left band from right side on circular needle size 4.5 mm = US 7 with Nepal. Work rib, begin from wrong side as follows: Work 1 stitch in garter stitch, * knit 2, purl 2 *, work from *-* until 2 stitches remain, and work 2 stitches in garter stitch. When rib measures approx. 1½ cm = ½", decrease for BUTTONHOLES - see explanation above. Continue rib until band measures 3 cm = 1⅛", adjust measurement with left band. Bind off stitches with knit over knit and purl over purl. ASSEMBLY: Fold rib at the top of neck down on the inside of garment. Fasten rib to form a double folding edge. To avoid a tight neck edge and avoiding the edge to tip outwards, it is important to make the seam elastic. Sew together opening towards mid front on bands with small stitches. Sew the buttons on to the left band. |
