------------------------------------------------------- EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN: ------------------------------------------------------- BANDS WITH I-CORD BEGINNING OF ROW: Slip 1 stitch purl-wise with strand in front, knit 1, work 4 garter stitches. END OF ROW: Work until there are 6 stitches left on the row, work 4 garter stitches, slip 1 stitch purl-wise with strand in front, knit 1. Work in the same way from both the right and wrong side. BUTTONHOLES: Work the buttonholes on the right front band from the right side, when there are 5 stitches left on the row. ROW 1 (right side): Make 1 yarn over, knit 2 together, knit 1, slip 1 purl-wise with strand in front, knit 1. ROW 2 (wrong side): Work the band as before, knit the yarn over to leave a hole. The first buttonhole is worked on the first row from the right side after the neck is finished. Then work the other 5-5-5-6-6-6 buttonholes with 8½-9-9-8-8½-8½ cm between each one. The bottom buttonhole is worked in the transition between the stocking stitch and rib. INCREASE TIP (evenly spaced): To work out how to increase evenly, count the total number of stitches on the needle (e.g., 122 stitches) minus bands (e.g., 12 stitches) and divide the remaining stitches by the number of increases to be made (e.g., 8) = 13.8. In this example, increase by making 1 yarn over after approx. each 14th stitch. Do not increase on bands. On the next row, work the yarn overs twisted to avoid holes. PATTERN: See diagrams A.1 to A.4. The diagrams show the pattern from the right side. DECREASE TIP: Decrease 1 stitch on each side of the marker-thread as follows: Work until there are 2 stitches left before the marker-thread, knit 2 together (marker-thread here), slip 1 stitch knit-wise, knit 1 and pass the slipped stitch over the knitted stitch (2 stitches decreased). ------------------------------------------------------- START THE PIECE HERE: ------------------------------------------------------- JACKET – SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE. The pattern uses both long and short needles; start with the length which fits the number of stitches and change when necessary. The neck and yoke are worked back and forth with circular needle, from mid front and top down. When the yoke is finished, it is divided for body and sleeves and the body continued back and forth with circular needle, while the sleeves wait. The sleeves are worked in the round. The neck is folded to the inside and sewn down. If there is a «0» in your chosen size, skip the information and go straight to the next instruction. NECK: Cast on 110-113-119-125-131-134 stitches with circular needle size 4 mm and DROPS Daisy or DROPS Merino Extra Fine. Change to circular needle size 3 mm (casting on with a larger needle size makes the cast-on edge elastic). Starting from the wrong side, work 11-11-11-13-13-13 rows of stocking stitch back and forth. On the last row cast on 6 stitches at the end of the row (band) = 116-119-125-131-137-140 stitches. Work the next row from the right side as follows: Work according to BANDS WITH I-CORD, read description above, * knit 1, knit 2 together, make 1 yarn over *, work from *-* until there are 2 stitches left, knit 2, then cast on 6 stitches (band) = 122-125-131-137-143-146 stitches. Work 12-12-12-14-14-14 rows as follows: Band with I-cord, stocking stitch until there are 6 stitches left, band with I-cord. The last row is from the right side. Insert a marker inside one band; the yoke is measured from here. YOKE: Change to circular needle size 4 mm. Start from mid-front and work as follows from the wrong side: Work the band as before, 110-113-119-125-131-134 stocking stitches, AT THE SAME TIME increase 8-10-9-11-13-16 stitches evenly over these stitches – read INCREASE TIP, work the band as before = 130-135-140-148-156-162 stitches. Continue the bands and stocking stitch– remember the BUTTONHOLES – read description above. Remember to maintain the knitting tension. When the yoke measures 1½-2-2-2-2-2 cm from the marker, increase 38-38-38-40-42-46 stitches evenly spaced – remember INCREASE TIP (do not increase across the bands) = 168-173-178-188-198-208 stitches. Continue the bands and stocking stitch until the yoke measures 3-4-4-4-4-5 cm from the marker. Now begin the pattern and increase as follows – read PATTERN in explanations above. A.1: Work the band, A.1 a total of 31-32-33-35-37-39 times on the row, knit 1, work the band = 199-205-211-223-235-247 stitches. Continue with stocking stitch and the bands until the yoke measures 5-6-6-6-6-7 cm from the marker. A.2: Work the band, A.2 until there are 6 stitches left (increasing at each arrow as described below), work the band. Arrow 1: Increase 31-37-43-47-55-59 stitches evenly spaced = 230-242-254-270-290-306 stitches. Arrow 2: Increase 56-60-68-76-80-84 stitches evenly spaced = 286-302-322-346-370-390 stitches. When A.2 is finished in height, work A.2a 0-0-0-0-1-1 more time. A.3: Work the band, A.3 until there are 6 stitches left (increasing at each arrow as described below), work the band. Arrow 3: Increase 24-24-28-32-32-32 stitches evenly spaced = 310-326-350-378-402-422 stitches. Arrow 4: Increase 16-16-20-28-28-24 stitches evenly spaced = 326-342-370-406-430-446 stitches. Repeat A.3a in height until the yoke measures 21-23-23-24-26-28 cm from the marker – with the last row from the right side. Work the last row from the wrong side as follows: work the band, knit until there are 6 stitches left, work the band. Now divide for the body and sleeves. DIVIDE FOR BODY AND SLEEVES: AT THE SAME TIME as working the next row (right side), divide yoke for body and sleeves as follows: work the band, knit 48-52-56-60-64-68 (= front piece), place the next 60-62-68-78-80-80 stitches on a thread for the sleeve, cast on 8-10-12-14-16-20 stitches (in side mid-under sleeve), knit 98-102-110-118-130-138 (= back piece), place the next 60-62-68-78-80-80 stitches on a thread for the sleeve, cast on 8-10-12-14-16-20 stitches (in side mid-under sleeve), knit 48-52-56-60-64-68 (= front piece), work the band. The body and sleeves are finished separately. BODY: = 222-238-258-278-302-326 stitches. Work the bands and A.4, with the first row from the wrong side. Note that the pattern ends in the middle of the diagram from the right side, so be sure to start in the middle of the diagram from the wrong side so that the pattern matches. Then work stocking stitch and the bands as before until the piece measures 43-45-46-48-50-52 cm from the marker. On the next row work as follows from the right side, beginning the rib AT THE SAME TIME as increasing 43-47-51-53-59-65 stitches evenly on this row (do not increase across the bands) = 265-285-309-331-361-391 stitches,: Change to circular needle size 3 mm, work the band, rib (knit 1, purl 1 – remember to increase) until there are 7 stitches left, knit 1 and work the band. When the rib measures 6 cm, cast off with knit over knit and purl over purl. The jacket measures approx. 49-51-52-54-56-58 cm from the marker and 54-56-58-60-62-64 cm from top of shoulder. SLEEVES: Place the 60-62-68-78-80-80 sleeve-stitches from the thread on one side of the piece on circular needle size 4 mm and knit up 1 stitch in each of the 8-10-12-14-16-20 stitches cast on under the sleeve = 68-72-80-92-96-100 stitches. Insert a marker-thread in the middle of the 8-10-12-14-16-20 stitches under the sleeve. Start at the marker-thread and work A.4 in the round, then finish the sleeve with stocking stitch. AT THE SAME TIME, when the sleeve measures 5-5-5-3-5-2 cm, decrease 2 stitches under the sleeve – read DECREASE TIP. Decrease like this every 6-4½-3-2½-2-2 cm a total of 6-7-10-14-15-16 times = 56-58-60-64-66-68 stitches. A.4 does not always fit under the sleeve; adjust the pattern as you decrease. Continue working until the sleeve measures 38-37-38-37-36-34 cm from the division. Change to double pointed needles size 3 mm. Work rib (knit 1, purl 1), AT THE SAME TIME increase 12-12-12-12-12-12 stitches evenly on the first round = 68-70-72-76-78-80 stitches. When the rib measures 6 cm, cast off with rib. The sleeve measures approx. 44-43-44-43-42-40 cm. ASSEMBLY: 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. Sew the buttons onto the left band. |
