------------------------------------------------------- EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN: ------------------------------------------------------- RIDGE/GARTER STITCH (worked back and forth): Knit all rows. 1 ridge in height = Knit 2 rows. LACE-PATTERN SECTIONS: Decrease and increase at the marker threads on the front and back pieces as shown in diagrams A.1 and A.2. DECREASE TIP (for armholes): All decreases are worked from the right side! Decrease on the inside of the outermost 7-7-9-9-11-11 stitches on each side. These 7-7-9-9-11-11 stitches are worked as follows from the edge (seen from the right side): 1 edge stitch in garter stitch, * knit 1, purl 1 *, work from *-* a total of 3-3-4-4-5-5 times. DECREASING AFTER THE 7-7-9-9-11-11 STITCHES: Slip 1 stitch as if to knit, knit 1 and pass the slipped stitch over the knitted stitch (1 stitch decreased). DECREASING BEFORE THE 7-7-9-9-11-11 STITCHES: Work until there are 2 stitches left before the 7-7-9-9-11-11 edge stitches, knit 2 together (= 1 stitch decreased), work the 7-7-9-9-11-11 stitches as before. DECREASE TIP-2 (for V-neck): All decreases are worked from the right side! Decrease on the inside of the 3 outermost stitches towards the neck. These 3 stitches are worked as follows from the edge (seen from the right side): 1 edge stitch in garter stitch, knit 1, purl 1. DECREASING AFTER THE 3 STITCHES: Slip 1 stitch as if to knit, knit 1 and pass the slipped stitch over the knitted stitch (= 1 stitch decreased). DECREASING BEFORE THE 3 STITCHES: Work until there are 2 stitches left before the 3 edge stitches, knit 2 together (= 1 stitch decreased), work the 3 stitches as before. ------------------------------------------------------- START THE PIECE HERE: ------------------------------------------------------- TOP – SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE: The body is worked in the round with circular needle, bottom up as far as the armholes. Then the front and back pieces are finished separately, back and forth with circular needle. The straps are sewn onto the back piece. BODY: Cast on 200-220-240-260-288-316 stitches with circular needle size 3 mm and Safran. Change to circular needle size 2.5 mm and work rib in the round (= knit 1, purl 1) for 2 cm. Change back to circular needle size 3 mm and work the first round as follows: Work 10-10-14-14-16-16 stitches in rib (starting with knit 1), 79-89-93-103-111-125 stitches in stocking stitch, 21-21-27-27-33-33 stitches in rib (starting with purl 1), 79-89-93-103-111-125 stitches in stocking stitch, 11-11-13-13-17-17 stitches in rib (starting with purl 1). Continue with stocking stitch and rib in the sides. REMEMBER THE KNITTING TENSION! When the piece measures 4 cm in all sizes, insert 4 marker threads as described below; these threads are used when working the lace-pattern sections. Count 10-10-14-14-16-16 ribbed stitches, 17-21-21-25-28-34 stocking stitches, insert 1 marker thread, count 45-47-51-53-55-57 stocking stitches (= mid-front), insert 1 marker thread, count 17-21-21-25-28-34 stocking stitches, 21-21-27-27-33-33 ribbed stitches, 17-21-21-25-28-34 stocking stitches, insert 1 marker thread, count 45-47-51-53-55-57 stocking stitches (= mid-back) and insert 1 marker thread. There are 17-21-21-25-28-34 stocking stitches and 11-11-13-13-17-17 ribbed stitches left after the last thread. Allow the threads to follow your work onwards. Continue with stocking stitch and rib as before – in addition, decrease for LACE-PATTERN SECTIONS – read description above, by working A.1 over each marker thread (thread sits in the middle of A.1) = 8 stitches decreased on the round. Repeat A.1 a total of 4 times in height = 168-188-208-228-256-284 stitches. Continue as before, without further decreases, until the piece measures 14-14-14-16-16-16 cm. Now increase for LACE-PATTERN SECTIONS – read description above, by working A.2 over each marker thread (thread sits in the middle of A.2) = 8 stitches increased on the round. Repeat A.2 a total of 4 times in height = 200-220-240-260-288-316 stitches. Continue as before, without further increases, until the piece measures 30-31-32-33-33-34 cm. Now cast off for the armholes and divide for the front and back pieces as follows: Cast off 3-3-5-5-5-5 stitches, work 7-7-9-9-11-11 ribbed stitches as before, work 36-41-43-48-52-59 stitches in stocking stitch, purl 1, knit 1, 1 garter stitch, knit 2 twisted together (= 1 stitch decreased mid-front), knit 1, purl 1, work 36-41-43-48-52-59 stitches in stocking stitch, 7-7-9-9-11-11 ribbed stitches, cast off 7-7-9-9-11-11 stitches for the armhole, work 7-7-9-9-11-11 ribbed stitches, 79-89-93-103-111-125 stitches in stocking stitch, 7-7-9-9-11-11 ribbed stitches and cast off the last 4-4-4-4-6-6 stitches for the armhole. Cut the strand. The front and back pieces are finished separately. LEFT FRONT PIECE (when garment is worn): = 46-51-55-60-66-73 stitches. Start mid-front from the wrong side and pick up 1 stitch in the decreased stitch and knit this loop together with the first stitch on the left needle (this is to avoid a «jump» at the bottom of the V-neck), purl 1, knit 1, then purl until there are 7-7-9-9-11-11 stitches left before the armhole, work rib as before over the next 6-6-8-8-10-10 stitches and finish with 1 edge stitch in garter stitch. Continue back and forth like this, with 1 edge stitch in garter stitch and 6-6-8-8-10-10 ribbed stitches towards the armhole, stocking stitch, 2 ribbed stitches and 1 edge stitch in garter stitch towards the neck. AT THE SAME TIME, on the first row from the right side, start to decrease for the armhole and V-neck as follows: ARMHOLE – read DECREASE TIP-1: Decrease 1 stitch every 2nd row (each row from the right side) a total of 10-14-14-19-23-27 times. V-NECK – read DECREASE TIP-2: Decrease 1 stitch every 2nd row (each row from the right side) a total of 25-26-26-26-26-27 times. After the last decrease there are 11-11-15-15-17-19 stitches left on the shoulder. Now work rib back and forth over all stitches with 1 edge stitch in garter stitch on each side until the piece measures 51-53-55-57-59-61 cm (front piece measures approx. 3 cm more than the measurement in the sketch because the strap will be sewn to the back piece). Cast off. RIGHT FRONT PIECE (when garment is worn): = 46-51-55-60-66-73 stitches. Start at the armhole from the wrong side, work 1 edge stitch in garter stitch, rib as before over the next 6-6-8-8-10-10 stitches, purl until there are 3 stitches left before the neck, knit 1, purl 1 and finish with 1 edge stitch in garter stitch. Continue back and forth like this. AT THE SAME TIME on the first row from the right side start to decrease for the V-neck and the armhole as follows: V-NECK – read DECREASE TIP-2: Decrease 1 stitch every 2nd row (each row from the right side) a total of 25-26-26-26-26-27 times. ARMHOLE – read DECREASE TIP-1: Decrease 1 stitch every 2nd row (each row from the right side) a total of 10-14-14-19-23-27 times. After the last decrease there are 11-11-15-15-17-19 stitches left on the shoulder. Now work rib back and forth over all stitches with 1 edge stitch in garter stitch on each side until the piece measures 51-53-55-57-59-61 cm. Cast off. BACK PIECE: = 93-103-111-121-133-147 stitches. Start at one armhole from the wrong side and work 1 edge stitch in garter stitch, rib as before over the next 6-6-8-8-10-10 stitches, purl until there are 7-7-9-9-11-11 stitches left on the row, rib as before over the next 6-6-8-8-10-10 stitches and finish with 1 edge stitch in garter stitch. Continue back and forth like this AT THE SAME TIME on the first row from the right side begin to decrease for the armholes – read DECREASE TIP-1. Decrease 1 stitch on each side every 2nd row (each row from the right side) a total of 10-14-14-19-23-27 times on each side = 73-75-83-83-87-93 stitches. Continue back and forth with stocking stitch, 6-6-8-8-10-10 ribbed stitches and 1 edge stitch in garter stitch on each side until the piece measures 43-45-47-49-51-53 cm. Now work rib back and forth over all stitches with 1 edge stitch in garter stitch on each side for 2 cm. Then cast off all stitches with garter stitch over garter stitch, knit over knit and purl over purl. The back piece is approx. 3 cm less than the given length in the sketch. ASSEMBLY: Sew the straps to each side of the back piece so the stitches match. |

Jeg forstår ikke denne passage: Gentag A.1 totalt 4 gange i højden = 168-188-208-228-256-284 masker. Hvorfor er det ikke angivet i cm. fra kanten? Mvh. Louise

Hej Louise, målet er angivet i cm og er fra kanten :)
13.04.2023 - 15:04Buongiorno Ho avviato 200 maglie con i ferri circolari n 3 il .Però subito dice di passare con i ferri n2 ,5 x l'elastico mi sono confusa Grazie mille per la disponibilità

Buonasera Anna, il bordo a coste è realizzato sempre con i ferri più piccoli, poi si ritorna ai 3 mm. Buon lavoro!
16.07.2022 - 15:53Hei. Hvor kan jeg finne en størrelsetabell? Og hvilken størrelse er det på den modellen bruker?:)

Hej Ane, du finder en måleskitse nederst i opskriften. Her ser du hvordan du vælger størrelse og læser skitsen: Således læser du måleskitsen
17.06.2022 - 08:49Bonjour je souhaiterais savoir s il est possible de faire une encolure un peu moins profonde. Je vous remercie pour votre réponse.
13.06.2022 - 18:55DROPS Design answered:
Bonjour Mme Darchy, fort probablement, il vous suffit de commencer l'encolure plus tard, recalculez bien vos diminutions d'encolure-V pour qu'elles tombent juste pour les bretelles. Bon tricot!
14.06.2022 - 09:11Als ik rondbrei trekt het breiwerk naar één kant. Hoe kan ik dit voorkomen?
07.06.2022 - 15:43DROPS Design answered:
Dag Nini,
Dit zou normaliter niet moeten gebeuren en ik heb eerlijk gezegd geen idee wat de reden is. Bij haken in de rondte zou dit wel kunnen gebeuren, maar bij breien blijven de steken boven elkaar zitten. Komt het misschien door het patroon in de zijkanten en de gaatjes in de panden? Of heb je dit ook als je alleen tricotsteek breit in de rondte?
10.06.2022 - 22:18Merci pour les beaux patrons vous nous offrez gratuit c,est très appréciée et je vais en essayer c,est sur.Encore Merci
04.06.2022 - 14:50Hoeveel cm tricot zit er tussen het eind van de minderingen en het begin van de meerderingen?
30.05.2022 - 20:29DROPS Design answered:
Dag Thea,
Dat weet ik niet precies en het hangt ook af van de maat die je breit. Wanneer je A.1 4 keer in de hoogte hebt gebreid gebreid, meet het werk ongeveer 11 a 12 cm (De boord van 4 cm plus 4 keer A.1 in de hoogte). Vanaf 14-14-14-16-16-16 cm begin je met de meerderingen.
03.07.2022 - 13:54Tämä on tosi suuri kokoinen, vaihdoin puikkoihin 2,5 ja vähensin s koosta 20 silmukkaa, tämä menisi L kokoiselle.... Joku mättää....
27.05.2022 - 18:26Where the pattern says ‘when the piece measures 4cm’ after the rib, is this 4cm including the rib?
01.03.2022 - 21:00DROPS Design answered:
Dear Davina, measure the whole piece, ie from cast-on edge = including the rib. Happy knitting!
02.03.2022 - 09:37Hei! Etter å ha felt til innsnitt står det: strikk videre som før uten fellinger til arbeidet måler 14-14-14-16-16-16 cm. Nå økes det til INNSNITT... på bildet ser det ut som det er strikket 14 cm mellom felling/innsnitt og ikke når arbeidet måler 14 cm. Er det noe feil i oppskriften her?
26.09.2021 - 20:14DROPS Design answered:
Hei Camilla. Nei, ingen feil. Om du ser på nærbildet kan du telle omgangene (12 omganger) mellom innsnittene noe som tilsvarer ca 3,5-4,0 cm. Strikkefastheten på 32 pinner i høyden = 10 cm. mvh DROPS Design
