------------------------------------------------------- EXPLANATION FOR THE PATTERN: ------------------------------------------------------- GARTER STITCH (back and forth): Knit all rows. 1 ridge vertically = knit 2 rows. PATTERN: See diagrams A.1 to A.5. Diagrams show all rows in pattern seen from the right side. INCREASE/DECREASE TIP (evenly): To calculate how to increase/decrease evenly, use the total number of stitches on row (e.g. 91 stitches) minus bands (e.g. 10 stitches) , and divide the remaining stitches by number of increases/decreases to be done (e.g. 18) = 4.5. In this example increase by making 1 yarn over after alternately approx. every 4th and 5th stitch, do not increase over bands. On next row work yarn overs twisted to avoid holes If decreasing knit in this example alternately every 3rd and 4th stitch and every 4th and 5th stitch together. INCREASE TIP-1 (from right side): BEFORE MARKER: The stitch is twisted towards the right. Use left needle to pick up thread between 2 stitches from round below, pick up thread from behind and knit stitch in front loop. AFTER MARKER: The stitch is twisted towards the left. Use left needle to pick up thread between 2 stitches from round below, pick up thread from front and knit stitch in back loop. INCREASE TIP-2 (from wrong side): BEFORE MARKER: The stitch is twisted towards the right. Use left needle to pick up thread between 2 stitches from round below, pick up thread from front and purl stitch in back loop. AFTER MARKER: The stitch is twisted towards the left. Use left needle to pick up thread between 2 stitches from round below, pick up thread from behind and purl stitch in front loop. DECREASE TIP (applies to mid under sleeves): 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 2 stitches), slip 1 stitch knitwise, knit 1, pass slipped stitch over stitch worked. BUTTONHOLES: Decrease for buttonholes on right band (when garment is worn). Decrease from right side when 3 stitches remain on row as follows: Make 1 yarn over, knit the next 2 stitches together, knit last stitch. On next row (wrong side) knit the yarn over to make a hole. Decrease first buttonhole when rib in neck is done Then cast off the next 4-4-5-5-5-5 buttonholes approx. 10-10½-9-9-9½-10 cm apart. CAST-OFF TIP: To avoid a tight cast-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 casting off (cast off yarn overs as regular stitches). ------------------------------------------------------- START THE PIECE HERE: ------------------------------------------------------- JACKET - SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE: Work neck edge and yoke back and forth on circular needle from mid front, top down. Now divide yoke for body and sleeves. Work body back and forth on circular needle, top down. Work sleeves in the round on double pointed needles/short circular needle, top down. NECK EDGE: Cast on 91-95-99-107-109-113 stitches (including 1 edge stitch in each side towards mid front) on circular needle size 4 mm with Air. Purl 1 row (= wrong side). Work next row as follows from right side: Work 1 edge stitch in GARTER STITCH – read explanation above, * knit 1, purl 1 *, work from *-* until 2 stitches remain, knit 1 and finish with 1 edge stitch in garter stitch. Continue rib like this for 8½-9 cm. When rib is done, work next row as follows from right side: 5 band stitches in garter stitch, knit until 5 stitches remain and increase at the same time 18-18-14-38-36-32 stitches evenly over these stitches - read INCREASE/DECREASE TIP, finish with 5 band stitches in garter stitch = 109-113-113-145-145-145 stitches - remember BUTTONHOLES on right band - read explanation above. Purl 1 row from wrong side (purl yarn overs twisted and work bands in garter stitches). Switch to circular needle size 5 mm. YOKE: Insert 1 marker after band at the beginning of row mid front, NOW MEASURE PIECE FROM HERE! In addition insert 4 new markers in piece as explained below - this is done without working the stitches, and insert each of this 4 markers between 2 stitches. Use markers when increasing for saddle shoulder. 1st marker: Begin mid front, count 22-22-22-28-28-28 stitches (= ½ front piece), insert 1st marker before next stitch. 2nd marker: Count 16-18-18-22-22-22 stitches from 1st marker (= shoulder stitches), insert 2nd marker before next stitch. 3rd marker: Count 33-33-33-45-45-45 stitches from 2nd marker (= back piece), insert 3rd marker before next stitch. 4th marker: Count 16-18-18-22-22-22 stitches from 3rd marker (= shoulder stitches), insert 4th marker before next stitch. 22-22-22-28-28-28 stitches remain on front piece after 4th marker. Move these 4 markers upwards when working; increase at each of these markers. SADDLE SHOULDER INCREASE: Read all of the following section before working! Work pattern in the different sizes and increase at the same time as explained below: SIZE S, M and L: 5 band stitches in garter stitch, A.1 over the next 12 stitches, A.2 over the next 5 stitches, marker is here, stocking stitch over the next 16-18-18 stitches, marker is here, A.3 over the next 4 stitches, A.4 over the next 24 stitches (= 2 repetitions of 12 stitches), A.2 over the next 5 stitches, marker is here, stocking stitch over the next 16-18-18 stitches, marker is here, A.3 over the next 4 stitches, A.4 over the next 12 stitches, A.5 over next stitch, 5 band stitches in garter stitch. SIZE XL, XXL and XXXL: 5 band stitches in garter stitch, work the last 6 stitches in A.4, work A.4 over the next 12 stitches, A.2 over the next 5 stitches, marker is here, stocking stitch over the next 22-22-22 stitches, marker is here, A.3 over the next 4 stitches, A.4 over the next 36 stitches (= 3 repetitions of 12 stitches), A.2 over the next 5 stitches, marker is here, stocking stitch over the next 22-22-22 stitches, marker is here, A.3 over the next 4 stitches, A.4 over the next 12 stitches, work the first 7 stitches in A.4, 5 band stitches in garter stitch. AT THE SAME TIME on first row from right side increase 4 stitches for saddle shoulder as follows: Increase BEFORE 1st and 3rd marker and increase AFTER 2nd and 4th marker – read INCREASE TIP-1. Now increase only on front pieces and back piece, and number of shoulder stitches remains the same. On next row from wrong side increase 4 stitches for saddle shoulder as follows: Increase BEFORE 2nd and 4th marker and increase AFTER 3rd and 1st marker – read INCREASE TIP-2. I.e. increase on EVERY row, and increase differently from right and wrong side, so that stitches are placed nicely. Continue pattern like this, and increase the same way on every row (i.e. every row from right side and from wrong side) 15-16-18-20-22-25 times in total = 169-177-185-225-233-245 stitches (work the first 14 stitches in A.2/A.3, then work the rest of the increased stitches in stocking stitch). REMEMBER THE KNITTING TENSION! After last increase piece measures approx. 7-7-8-9-10-11 cm from marker by the neck. Then increase for sleeves as explained below. SLEEVE INCREASE: Continue back and forth with pattern as before, AT THE SAME TIME on next row increase 4 stitches for sleeve as follows: Increase AFTER 1st and 3rd marker and increase BEFORE 2nd and 4th marker – remember INCREASE TIP. Now increase only on sleeve, and number of stitches on front pieces and back piece stays the same. On next row from wrong side increase 4 stitches for sleeves as follows: Increase AFTER 2nd and 4th marker and increase BEFORE 3rd and 1st marker – read INCREASE TIP-2. Increase like this on EVERY row 2-0-2-4-2-4 times, then every other row (every row from right side) 7-9-9-9-11-8 times in total and on EVERY row 2-0-0-2-2-2 times = 213-213-229-285-293-301 stitches. Piece measures approx. 15-15-17-20-22-21 cm from marker at the neck. Then increase for yoke as explained below. YOKE INCREASE: Move the 4 markers from sleeve increase so each marker sits in the outermost sleeve stitches on each side. There are now 36-34-38-50-50-48 stitches between the marker-stitches on each sleeve. On next row from right side increase 8 stitches for yoke by increasing both before and after each of the 4 stitches with markers - remember INCREASE TIP-1. Increase stitches on front pieces, back piece and on both sleeves, and work the increased stitches in stocking stitch. Increase like this every other row 5-8-8-6-6-9 times in total 253-277-293-333-341-373 stitches. When all increases are done, the piece measures approx. 20-22-24-25-27-29 cm from marker at the neck. If the piece is shorter than this, work as before without increases until correct measurements. Now divide piece for body and sleeves. Work next row as follows: Work the first 42-46-48-54-56-62 stitches as before (= front piece), slip the next 48-52-56-64-64-68 stitches on a stitch holder for sleeve, cast on 8-8-10-10-12-12 new stitches on row (= in the side under sleeve), work 73-81-85-97-101-113 stitches as before (= back piece), slip the next 48-52-56-64-64-68 stitches on a stitch holder for sleeve, cast on 8-8-10-10-12-12 new stitches on row (= in the side under sleeve) and work the last 42-46-48-54-56-62 stitches as before (= front piece). Now finish body and sleeves separately. NOW MEASURE PIECE FROM HERE! BODY: = 173-189-201-225-237-261 stitches. Continue back and forth with 5 band stitches in garter stitch in each side towards mid front, work pattern as before and work stocking stitch over the new stitches cast on in each side. Work until piece measures approx. 20 cm - adjust to finish after a row that is as last row in diagrams or 7 rows before last row. Now increase 26-28-30-34-36-40 stitches evenly = 199-217-231-259-273-301 stitches. Switch to circular needle size 4 mm. Work rib (= knit 1/purl 1) with 5 band stitches in garter stitch in each side. When rib measures 5 cm, cast off with knit over knit and purl over purl - read CAST-OFF TIP. Jacket measures 50-52-54-56-58-60 cm from shoulder and down. SLEEVES: Slip the 48-52-56-64-64-68 stitches from stitch holder in one side of piece back on a short circular needle/double pointed needles size 5 mm. Pick in addition up 1 stitch in each of the 8-8-10-10-12-12 new stitches cast on under sleeve = 56-60-66-74-76-80 stitches. Insert a marker the middle of the new stitches cast on in the side under the sleeve (= 4-4-5-5-6-6 new stitches on each side of marker). Work in stocking stitch in the round. When sleeve measures 3 cm, decrease 1 stitch on each side of marker - read DECREASE TIP. Decrease like this every 0-2-1½-1½-1-1 cm 1-2-3-4-5-6 times in total = 54-56-60-66-66-68 stitches. Continue to work until sleeve measures 29-28-26-26-25-23 cm. Knit 1 round while decreasing 16-16-18-20-20-20 stitches evenly = 38-40-42-46-46-48 stitches. Switch to double pointed needles size 4 mm. Work rib (knit 1/purl 1) in the round for 5 cm. Cast off - remember CAST-OFF TIP. Work the other sleeve the same way. ASSEMBLY: Sew the buttons on to left band. 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. |

I am working on XL. After the sleeve increase, there are 52 stitches on the sleeve instead of 50 as described in the pattern. I find the other sizes are also different figures from the pattern. Please help. Thank you very much.

Dear Catherine, that's right, now move the markers in the first of these 52 sts and in the last of these 52 sts= there are now 50 sts between sts with a marker. Happy knitting!

Regarding the question I raised on 3/4/21, I finally realised what my problem is. The first 14 stitches of increase are only included in the front and back pieces areas. The 22-stitch saddle shoulder stitches remain the same (in my size) without any increase. Please disregard my question. Thank you.

I am stuck on row 5 onwards on A2 & A3. The number of stitches shown on the schematic diagrams don't match with actual no. of stitches I am knitting. The increase of front pieces & back piece is done on right side, ie, every alternate row. In my case it is on odd no. rows, row 1,3,5, & onwards. On A2 & A3, the increase is on every row. From row 5 onwards, the number of stitches are more than I am knitting. Please guide me through this problem. Thank you ver much.

Dear Catherine, the increases on saddle shoulders are worked on every row, ie from right side as well as from wrong side (all sizes). On next row, work the new sts as shown in diagram. Happy knitting!
