---------------------------------------------------------- EXPLANATION FOR THE PATTERN: ---------------------------------------------------------- PATTERN: See diagrams A.1 to A.4. Choose diagram for your size. INCREASE TIP-1 (applies to raglan): Increase 1 stitch by making 1 yarn over between 2 stitches. On next round knit yarn over twisted to avoid holes. Then work the new stitches in stockinette stitch. INCREASE TIP-2 (applies to sides of body): Work until 2 stitches remain before marker thread, 1 yarn over, knit 4 (marker thread is in the middle of these stitches), 1 yarn over. On next round knit yarn overs twisted to avoid holes. Then work the new stitches in stockinette stitch. DECREASE TIP (applies to side on body and sleeves): Decrease 1 stitch on each side of marker thread as follows: Work until 3 stitches remain before marker thread and knit 2 together, knit 2 (marker thread is between these stitches), slip 1 stitch knitwise, knit 1, pass slipped stitch over stitch worked. NUMBER OF STITCHES: As both increases and decreases are done in A.1a, A.2a, A.3a and A.4a, number of stitches vary according to which round it is counted on (depending on you are increasing/decreasing in pattern). BIND-OFF TIP: To avoid a tight bind-off edge you may use a larger needle. If this also is too tight, make 1 yarn over after approx. every 4th stitch and bind off these as regular stitches. ---------------------------------------------------------- START THE PIECE HERE: ---------------------------------------------------------- SWEATER - SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE: Work neck edge and yoke in the round on circular needle from mid back, top down. Now divide yoke for body and sleeves. Body is worked in the round on circular needle, top down. Work sleeves in the round on double pointed needles, top down. NECK EDGE: Cast on 108-120-126-132-135-144 stitches on circular needle size 2.5 mm = US 1,5 with Alpaca. Knit 1 round. Work rib (= knit 1/purl 2). Continue rib like this for 2 cm = ¾". Switch to circular needle size 3 mm = US 2,5. Insert 1 marker at the beginning of round mid back, measure yoke from this marker! YOKE: Half back piece: Knit 6-9-9-9-9-12, A.1 (= 7 stitches). Right sleeve: Knit 2, A.2 (= 4 stitches), A.3a (= 17-17-17-23-23-23 stitches), A.4 (= 4 stitches), knit 2. Front piece: Work A.1 over 7 stitches, knit 11-17-22-17-19-23, A.1 over 7 stitches. Left sleeve: Knit 2, A.2 over 4 stitches, A.3a over 17-17-17-23-23-23 stitches, A.4 over 4 stitches, knit 2. Half back piece: Work A.1 over 7 stitches, knit 5-8-9-8-9-11. Work 1 round with the established pattern. On next round increase for raglan on each side of every A.1 – read INCREASE TIP-1 (= 8 stitches increased). REMEMBER THE KNITTING GAUGE! Increase like this every other round 22-24-28-33-37-40 times in total. When the first 3 rows in pattern A.1, A.2 and A.4 has been worked, repeat A.1a, A.2a and A.4a in height. When A.3a has been worked 1 time vertically, work A.3b (= 29-29-29-35-35-35 stitches) over A.3a. When increase for raglan is done, there are 324-352-390-436-471-504 stitches on needle – read NUMBER OF STITCHES. Work in the established pattern until piece measures 18-20-21-23-25-27 cm = 7"-8"-8¼"-9"-9¾"-10⅝" from marker. Adjust so that next round is a round with total number of stitches (i.e. 324-352-390-436-471-504 stitches), this because number of stitches can vary because of decreases/increases in diagrams. On next round divide piece for body and sleeves as follows: Work over the first 45-50-54-61-68-73 stitches as before, slip the next 73-77-87-97-101-107 stitches on a stitch holder for sleeve and cast on 8 stitches under sleeve, work over the next 89-99-108-121-134-145 stitches, slip the next 73-77-87-97-101-107 stitches on a stitch holder for sleeve and cast on 8 stitches under sleeve and work the last 44-49-54-60-67-72 stitches. BODY: = 194-214-232-258-285-306 stitches. Insert 1 marker thread in the middle of the 8 stitches under over each sleeve (= in the sides of body). There are 97-107-116-129-142-153 stitches between marker threads on front piece and 97-107-116-129-143-153 stitches between marker threads on back piece. Move the marker threads upwards when working; they should be used for increase and decrease later in the sides. When last repetition of A.1a from the yoke has been worked vertically, work A.1b over every A.1a. When A.1b has been worked 1 time vertically, there are 190-210-228-254-281-302 stitches on needle. Continue in the round in stockinette stitch. When piece measures 2 cm = ¾" from division, decrease 1 stitch on each side of the marker thread in each side - read DECREASE TIP (= 4 stitches decreased). Decrease like this every 2 cm = ¾" 4 times in total = 174-194-212-238-265-286 stitches. When piece measures 10 cm = 4" from division, increase 1 stitch on each side of marker threads in the sides - read INCREASE TIP-2(= 4 stitches increased). Increase like this every cm = ⅜" 9 times in total = 210-230-248-274-301-322 stitches. When piece measures 21-21-22-22-22-22 cm = 8¼"-8¼"-8¾"-8¾"-8¾"-8¾" from division, increase 12-13-13-14-14-14 stitches evenly = 222-243-261-288-315-336 stitches. Switch to circular needle size 2.5 mm = US 1,5 and work rib (= knit 1/purl 2). When piece measures 24-24-25-25-25-25 cm = 9½"-9½"-9¾"-9¾"-9¾"-9¾" from division, bind off all stitches by knitting- read BIND-OFF TIP. SLEEVES: Slip the 73-77-87-97-101-107 stitches from stitch holder in one side of piece on double pointed needles size 3 mm = US 2,5 and pick up 1 new stitch in each of the 8 stitches cast on under sleeve = 81-85-95-105-109-115 stitches – remember number of stitches. Insert 1 marker thread in the middle of the 8 new stitches. Move the marker thread upwards when working; it should be used for decrease mid under sleeve. READ ALL OF THE FOLLOWING SECTION BEFORE CONTINUING! Work pattern and decrease stitches mid under sleeve as follows: Work A.2a, A.3b and A.4a over the middle stitches, knit the remaining stitches. When A.3b has been worked, work A.3c over A.3b. When sleeve measures 1 cm = ⅜" from division, decrease 1 stitch on each side of marker thread (= 2 stitches decreased). Decrease like this every cm = ⅜" 3-3-3-3-5-5 times in total, then decrease every other cm = ⅜" 2-2-2-2-0-0 times in total = 71-75-85-95-99-105 stitches. On last round in A.3c increase 0-1-2-0-1-1 stitches before pattern, and 2-0-1-2-0-0 stitches after the pattern = 73-76-88-97-100-106 stitches. When A.3c has been worked 1 time vertically, piece measures approx. 14-12-11-10-8-6 cm = 5½"-4¾"-4⅜"-4"-3⅛"-2⅜" from division. Switch to double pointed needles size 2.5 mm = US 1,5. Work next round as follows: * Knit 1, purl 2 *, work from *-* over the first 15-18-24-24-27-30 stitches, A.2b over A.2a, continue with knit over knit and purl over purl over stitches in A.3c, A.4b over A.4a, * purl 2, knit 1 *, work from *-* over 15-15-21-24-24-27 stitches and finish with purl 2 = 75-78-90-99-102-108 stitches. Continue with knit over knit and purl over purl until piece measures 17-15-14-13-11-9 cm = 6¾"-6"-5½"-5⅛"-4⅜"-3½" from division, then bind off by knitting. Work the other sleeve the same way. |

Where do I find the corrections to this pattern Spring Surrender ? Thank you

Hi Michelle, directly on the pattern website, before the explanation to the diagram. Look for 'This pattern has been corrected. Click here to see the correction/s..' Happy knitting!
23.06.2021 - 12:51Drops design. Z-881 spring surrender. Still having difficulty, and consultef with an expert who also thought the pattern was difficult. But I will perservere. When reading the chart , I am assuming that each line represents another row. Is there a way that I could lay out the charts to visualize where they appear on the pattern?
04.06.2021 - 20:19DROPS Design answered:
Dear Norma, just follow the directions. The charts show you not only the very next steo, but also, how the rows and stitches relate "en large". Also, you can always ask for help (either in person, or over the phone in the store where you bought your DROPS yarn from. Happy Knitting!
07.06.2021 - 03:26Sorry, I am so confused. Never had a pattern with multiple charts to refer to. Is there any way to obtain a written version of this pattern without the charts.
08.05.2021 - 20:08DROPS Design answered:
Dear Norma, there are no written out instructions for the patterns. Not only, because they are available in several languages, but also, because we believe that with charts you not only see the very next step (as with the written patterns), but also the "bigger picture" as how the stitches, and rows relate to each other "en large". However, we do have a lesson on how to follow diagrams HERE, and you can always ask for help (in person or over the phone) in the store, where you bought your DROPS yarn from. Happy Knitting!
08.05.2021 - 21:59Drops 212/40 Finished 3rows of yoke. Please explain "when first 3 rows in pattern A.1,A.2 and A4 has been worked, repeat A1a,A2a and A4a in height
08.05.2021 - 18:11DROPS Design answered:
Dear Norma, after the first three rows, you repeat the 4 rows that are marked with A.1a, A.2a and A.4a the number of times given in the pattern. Happy Knitting!
08.05.2021 - 18:33Drops pattern 212-40 Starting the yoke. Finished"half backpiece" Now "work 1round in established pattern". Does this mean I'm on the second row or I repeat the last row.
08.05.2021 - 17:00DROPS Design answered:
Dear Norma, with setting up the yoke, you should have knitted the first row of the diagrams at the appropriate places, in the next row, continue with the second row of the diagrams. Happy Knitting!
08.05.2021 - 17:04Bonjour! Pouvez-vous me dire si ce patron est disponible en français? J'avoue être un peu perdue avec les explications en anglais. Merci

Bonjour Mme Dezerault, tout à fait, tous nos modèles sont disponibles en français; cliquez sur le menu déroulant sous la photo et sélectionnez "français". Bon tricot!
27.04.2021 - 07:22How will pattern A1, A2 and A4 be more with two stiches from the second round? What is the explanation for it? Is it because increasing the stiches before and after each A1? If so, please confirm, also in the pattern (in Hungarian too). If not, please explain because I can't figure it out.
16.04.2021 - 15:36DROPS Design answered:
Dear Diana, please see the symbols' description, especially the black triangle, that tells xou to knit 3 stitch into that stitch, thus increasing 2 stitches. Kedves Diana, kérem olvassa el figyelmesen a jelek magyarázatát. A kis fekete háromszög azt mutatja, abban a szembe 3 szemet kell kötnie, így 2 szemet szaporít. Happy Knitting!

Hei Charlotte. På 1. omgang til bærestykkes strikkes A.1, A.2, A.3a og A.4. Når de første 3 omgangene i mønster A.1, A.2 og A.4 er strikket, repeteres A.1a, A.2a og A.4a videre i høyden (A.1a over A.1, A.2a over A.2 og A.4a over A.4). Når A.3a er strikket 1 gang i høyden, strikkes A.3b over A.3a. Når siste repetisjon av A.1a fra bærestykket er strikket ferdig i høyden, strikkes A.1b over hver A.1a. A.2b strikkes over A.2a og A.4b over A.4a når du strikker ermene. mvh DROPS design
22.03.2021 - 13:21Bonjour, En ce qui concerne les augmentations de chaque côté du diagramme A1, pourriez-vous me confirmer ce que je crois comprendre, à savoir : les deux premiers jetés d'augmentations se font en A1a, tout de suite avant la première maille endroit et après la dernière maille endroit et ceci à chaque premier et troisième rang puisque A1a est répété x fois.. Merci d'avance
20.02.2021 - 16:40DROPS Design answered:
Bonjour Claude, on augmente pour le raglan de chaque côté de chaque A.1 autrement dit, tricotez jusqu'aux mailles de A.1, faites 1 jeté, tricotez les mailles de A.1, et faites 1 jeté (= on a augmenté 2 mailles), répétez à chaque A.1 (= on augmente 8 mailles au total). Comme A.1 commence et se termine par 1 m end, vous allez effectivement faire le jeté avant la 1ère maille endroit de A.1 et 1 autre jeté après la dernière maille endroit de A.1. Notez bien qu'au tout premier rang de A.1, vous augmentez en plus 2 mailles au milieu de chaque A.1. Bon tricot!
