------------------------------------------------------- EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN: ------------------------------------------------------- RIDGE/GARTER STITCH (worked back and forth): Knit all rows. 1 ridge = knit 2 rows. DECREASE TIP (evenly spaced): To work out how to decrease evenly, count the total number of stitches on needle (e.g. 75 stitches) minus the edge stitches (e.g. 2 stitches) and divide the remaining stitches by the number of decreases to be made (e.g. 20) = 3.7. In this example decrease by knitting together alternately each 2nd and 3rd stitch and each 3rd and 4th stitch (approx.). Do not decrease the edge stitches. INCREASE TIP (for sleeves): All increases are worked from the right side! Work 1 edge stitch, 1 yarn over, work until there is 1 stitch left, 1 yarn over and 1 edge stitch. On the next row purl the yarn overs twisted to avoid holes. 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 4th stitch at the same time as binding off; the yarn overs are bind off as normal stitches. BUTTONHOLES (bottom up): Work the buttonholes on the right band. 1 BUTTONHOLE = knit together the 3rd and 4th stitch from the edge and make 1 yarn over. On the next row knit the yarn over to leave a hole. Work buttonholes when the piece measures: S: 15, 24, 33, 42 and 50 cm = 6", 9½", 13", 16½" and 19¾". M: 16, 25, 34, 43 and 52 cm = 6¼", 9¾", 13⅜", 17" and 20½". L: 14, 22, 30, 38, 45 and 52 cm = 5½", 8¾", 11¾", 15", 17¾" and 20½". XL: 14, 22, 30, 38, 46 and 54 cm = 5½", 8¾", 11¾", 15", 18" and 21¼". XXL: 14, 22, 30, 38, 46 and 54 cm = 5½", 8¾", 11¾", 15", 18" and 21¼". XXXL: 14, 23, 32, 40, 48 and 56 cm = 5½", 9", 12½", 15¾", 19" and 22". ------------------------------------------------------- START THE PIECE HERE: ------------------------------------------------------- JACKET – SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE: The piece is worked back and forth in sections, bottom up and then sewn together.

Change to circular needle size 8 MM = US 11. Purl 1 row from the wrong side and cast on 1 new stitch at the end of the row = 53-57-61-67-73-81 stitches. Continue with stockinette stitch and 1 edge stitch in garter stitch on each side. REMEMBER THE KNITTING GAUGE! When the piece measures 41-42-43-44-45-46 cm = 16⅛"-16½"-17"-17¼"-17¾"-18", bind off 1-1-2-4-6-8 stitches at the beginning of the next 2 rows for the armholes = 51-55-57-59-61-65 stitches.

When the piece measures 52-54-54-56-56-58 cm = 20½"-21¼"-21¼"-22"-22"-22¾" and the next row is from the right side, place the first 9-9-10-10-11-11 stitches on a thread for the neck, working the stitches first to avoid having to cut the strand.

Change to circular needle size 8 MM = US 11. Continue with stockinette stitch and 1 edge stitch in garter stitch on each side. When the sleeve measures 14 cm = 5½", increase 1 stitch on each side – read INCREASE TIP. Increase like this every 8-6½-6-5-4½-3½ cm = 3⅛"-2½"-2⅜"-2"-1⅝"-1¼" a total of 5-6-6-7-7-8 times = 44-46-48-50-52-54 stitches.

Insert 1 marker on each side – they mark the bottom of the armhole and are used when sewing the sleeves to the body. Continue working until the sleeve measures 50 cm = 19¾" in all sizes. Bind off with knit from the right side. Work the other sleeve in the same way. ASSEMBLY: Sew the shoulder seams inside the bind-off edge. Sew in the sleeves, inside the 1 edge stitch along the armholes and the bind-off edge on the sleeve cap. Sew together the bottoms of the armholes – the markers on the sleeve should match the sides of the body – see sketch. Sew the sleeve and side seams in one go inside the 1 edge stitch, leaving a 12 cm = 4¾" split at the bottom of each side seam. COLLAR: Start from the right side with circular needle size 6 MM = US 10 and 1 strand DROPS Fabel and 2 strands DROPS Brushed Alpaca Silk (= 3 strands). Place the 9-9-10-10-11-11 stitches from the thread on the right front piece on the needle, knit up 77-77-83-83-89-89 stitches inside the 1 edge stitch around the neck and place the 9-9-10-10-11-11 stitches from the left front piece on the needle = 95-95-103-103-111-111 stitches. Work rib from the wrong side as follows: 1 edge stitch in garter stitch, rib (purl 1 knit 1) until there are 2 stitches left, purl 1 and 1 edge stitch in garter stitch. Continue this rib back and forth for 4 cm = 1½". Work the next row from the right side as follows: Work the first 27 stitches as before, then work 3 stitches in the next knitted stitch as follows: Knit 1 but do not slip it from the left needle, make 1 yarn over, knit 1 in the same stitch and slip the stitch from the left needle (= 2 stitches increased), * work the next 7 stitches, work 3 stitches in the next knitted stitch (in the same way as before) *, work from *-* until there are 27 stitches left and work these stitches as before = 107-107-117-117-127-127 stitches. On the next row work the yarn overs twisted and into the rib. Continue the new rib until the collar measures 13 cm = 5⅛". Bind off with knit over knit and purl over purl – read BINDING-OFF TIP. |
