------------------------------------------------------- EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN: ------------------------------------------------------- EDGE STITCHES: The edge stitches are knitted from both the right and wrong sides (garter stitch). PATTERN: See diagrams A.1 to A.5. Choose diagram for your size (applies to A.2). The diagrams show all rows in the pattern from the right side. DECREASE TIP (for neckline): All decreases are worked from the right side. Decrease 1 stitch for the neckline at the beginning of the row from the right side: Knit 3, slip 1 stitch knit-wise, knit 1 and pass the slipped stitch over the knitted stitch. Decrease 1 stitch for the neckline at the end of the row from the right side: Work until there are 5 stitches left by the neck, knit 2 together, knit 3. INCREASE TIP (for sleeves): Start 2 stitches before the marker thread, 1 yarn over, knit 4 (marker thread sits between these 4 stitches), 1 yarn over. On the next round knit the yarn overs twisted to avoid holes. Then work the new stitches in stockinette stitch. ------------------------------------------------------- START THE PIECE HERE: ------------------------------------------------------- SWEATER - SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE: The front and back pieces are started separately, back and forth with circular needle and bottom up until the split is finished. The piece is joined, and the body continued in the round with circular needle as far as the armholes. The piece is divided again, and each piece finished separately, back and forth with circular needle. The sleeves are worked in the round with double pointed needle/ with a short circular needle, bottom up as far as the sleeve cap, which is finished back and forth with circular needle. The piece is sewn together, and the double neck worked in the round to finish. FRONT PIECE: Cast on 114-122-130-146-154-170 stitches with circular needle size 3.5 MM = US 4 and DROPS Air. Purl 1 row from the wrong side. Work as follows from the right side: 2 EDGE STITCHES – read description above, * knit 2, purl 2 *, work from *-* a total of 4-5-5-7-7-9 times, knit 2, A.1, A.2, A.3, A.2, A.1, * knit 2, purl 2 *, work from *-* a total of 4-5-5-7-7-9 times, knit 2 and 2 edge stitches. Continue this rib back and forth for 8 cm = 3⅛", finishing after a row from the wrong side. Cut the strand. Place the stitches on a stitch holder. BACK PIECE: Cast on 114-122-130-142-154-170 stitches with circular needle size 3.5 MM = US 4 and DROPS Air. Purl 1 row from the wrong side. Work the next row as follows from the right side: 2 edge stitches, * knit 2, purl 2 *, work from *-* until there are 4 stitches left, knit 2 and 2 edge stitches. Continue this rib back and forth for 8 cm = 3⅛", finishing after a row from the wrong side. Now join the 2 pieces for the body. BODY: Change to circular needle size 5 MM = US 8 and knit the 114-122-130-142-154-166 stitches on the back piece from the right side, decreasing 28-30-32-34-36-38 stitches evenly spaced, then work as follows from the right side over the front piece: Knit 20-24-24-32-32-40 and decrease 4-5-4-7-5-8 stitches evenly spaced, work A.4 over the stitches in A.1, knit 14-14-18-18-22-22 and decrease 2-2-4-4-5-5 stitches evenly spaced, work A.5 over the stitches in A.3, knit 14-14-18-18-22-22 and decrease 2-2-4-4-5-5 stitches evenly spaced, work A.4 over the stitches in A.1, knit 20-24-24-32-32-40 stitches and decrease 4-5-4-7-5-8 stitches evenly spaced. Insert 1 marker-thread in each side of the body, in the transitions between the front and back pieces. There are 188-200-212-232-252-272 stitches on the needle (102-108-114-124-134-144 stitches on the front piece and 86-92-98-108-118-128 stitches on the back piece). Continue with stockinette stitch over the back piece and as follows over the front piece: 16-19-20-25-27-32 stitches in stockinette stitch, A.4, 12-12-14-14-17-17 stitches in stockinette stitch, A.5, 12-12-14-14-17-17 stitches in stockinette stitch, A.4, 16-19-20-25-27-32 stitches in stockinette stitch. REMEMBER THE KNITTING GAUGE! When the piece measures 32-33-34-35-36-37 cm = 12½"-13"-13⅜"-13¾"-14¼"-14½", and the next round is an odd round in the diagrams, work the armholes as follows: Start 2-3-4-5-6-7 stitches before the first marker-thread, bind off 4-6-8-10-12-14 stitches, work until there are 2-3-4-5-6-7 stitches left before the next marker-thread, bind off 4-6-8-10-12-14 stitches and work to the end of the round. The front and back pieces are finished separately. FRONT PIECE: = 98-102-106-114-122-130 stitches. Start from the wrong side and continue the pattern back and forth with 1 edge stitch on each side. When the piece measures 48-50-51-53-54-56 cm = 19"-19¾"-20"-21"-21¼"-22" and the next row is from the right side, decrease 8 stitches evenly over the stitches in A.5 (decrease 4 stitches over each cable) = 90-94-98-106-114-122 stitches. On the next row place the middle 18-18-20-20-22-22 stitches on a thread for the neckline and finish each shoulder separately = 36-38-39-43-46-50 stitches on each shoulder. You now decrease for the neckline and work the diagonal shoulders. Read NECKLINE and DIAGONAL SHOULDERS before continuing. NECKLINE: Decrease by the neck, on each row from the right side, 5 times – read DECREASE TIP. DIAGONAL SHOULDERS: AT THE SAME TIME, when the piece measures 52-54-56-58-60-62 cm = 20½"-21¼"-22"-22¾"-23⅝"-24⅜", work as follows: Work as before until there are 4-5-5-6-6-7 stitches left by the armhole, turn, tighten the strand and work back. Turn, work until there are 8-10-10-12-12-14 stitches left by the armhole, turn, tighten the strand and work back. Continue back and forth like this with 4-5-5-6-6-7 fewer stitches each time and until there are 7-3-4-2-5-3 stitches left. Work back over these stitches, then work 1 row over all 31-33-34-38-41-45 stitches and decrease 4 stitches over the cable in A.4 = 27-29-30-34-37-41 stitches. Bind off on the next row. Work the other shoulder in the same way. BACK PIECE: = 82-86-90-98-106-114 stitches. Start from the wrong side and work stockinette stitch back and forth, with 1 edge stitch on each side. When the piece measures 52-54-56-58-60-62 cm = 20½"-21¼"-22"-22¾"-23⅝"-24⅜", insert 1 marker in the middle of the row, which will be used when working the neckline. Now work diagonal shoulders and bind off for the neckline. Read DIAGONAL SHOULDERS and NECKLINE before continuing. DIAGONAL SHOULDERS: Work as before until there are 4-4-4-5-5-6 stitches left on the row, turn, tighten the strand and work back until there are 4-4-4-5-5-6 stitches left. Turn, tighten the strand and work until there are 8-8-8-10-10-12 stitches left, turn, tighten the strand and work until there are 8-8-8-10-10-12 stitches left. Continue back and forth like this with 4-4-4-5-5-6 fewer stitches each time and until there are 3-5-6-4-7-5 stitches left on each side. Work back over these stitches, then work 1 row over all 27-29-30-34-37-41 stitches. Bind off on the next row. Work the other shoulder in the same way. NECKLINE: At the same time, when the piece measures 55-57-59-61-63-65 cm = 21⅝"-22½"-23¼"-24"-24¾"-25½", bind off the middle 24-24-26-26-28-28 stitches for the neckline (12-12-13-13-14-14 stitches on each side of the marker). Finish each shoulder separately. Continue by decreasing for the neckline on each row from the right side 2 times – read DECREASE TIP. SLEEVES: Cast on 64-68-68-68-72-72 stitches with double pointed needles size 3.5 MM = US 4 and DROPS Air. Knit 1 round, then work rib in the round (knit 2, purl 2) for 8 cm = 3⅛". Change to double pointed needles size 5 MM = US 8. Knit 1 round and decrease 16-18-18-16-18-16 stitches evenly spaced = 48-50-50-52-54-56 stitches. Insert 1 marker-thread at the beginning of the round. Allow the thread to follow your work onwards, it is used when increasing under the sleeve. Work stockinette stitch in the round. When the sleeve measures 10-10-12-12-10-13 cm = 4"-4"-4¾"-4¾"-4"-5⅛", increase 1 stitch on each side of the marker-thread – read INCREASE TIP. Increase like this every 4-3½-3-2½-2½-2 cm = 1½"-1¼"-1⅛"-1"-1"-¾" a total of 10-11-12-13-14-14 times = 68-72-74-78-82-84 stitches. When the sleeve measures 50-49-49-46-44-43 cm = 19¾"-19¼"-19¼"-18"-17¼"-17", work stockinette stitch back and forth for the sleeve cap (from the marker-thread) until the sleeve measures 51-51-51-49-48-47 cm = 20"-20"-20"-19¼"-19"-18½" (a split of 1-2-2-3-4-4 cm = ⅜"-¾"-¾"-1⅛"-1½"-1½" at the top). Bind off. Work the other sleeve in the same way. ASSEMBLY: Sew the shoulder seams inside the bind-off edge. Sew the sleeve cap to the armhole, then the split to the bottom of the armhole – see sketch. NECK: Use short circular needle size 3.5 MM = US 4 and DROPS Air. Start at one shoulder seam and knit up from the right side 96-96-104-104-112-112 stitches around the neckline – stitch count must be divisible by 4. Work rib in the round (knit 2, purl 2) for 13-13-15-15-17-17 cm = 5⅛"-5⅛"-6"-6"-6¾"-6¾". Bind off a little loosely. Fold the neck double to the inside and sew down. To avoid the neck being tight and rolling outwards, it is important that the seam is elastic. |

Bij telpatronen A4 en A5: zitten er steeds 9 toeren tussen de toeren waarin je kanelnaald gebruikt? Dus: de eerste keer kanelnaald in de 5e toer en daarna elke 10e toer?
