------------------------------------------------------- EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN: ------------------------------------------------------- RIDGE/GARTER STITCH (worked back and forth): Knit all rows. 1 ridge in height = Knit 2 rows. PATTERN: See diagrams A.1 and A.2. The diagrams show all rows in the pattern from the right side. INCREASE TIP-1 (evenly spaced): To work out how to increase evenly, count the total number of stitches to be increased over (e.g. 32 stitches) and divide by the number of increases to be made (e.g. 28) = 1.1. In this example, increase by making 1 yarn over after approx. each stitch. On the next round work the yarn overs twisted to avoid holes. INCREASE TIP-2 (for sleeves in sizes XL, XXL and XXXL): Work until there are 2 stitches left 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 back and front pieces are worked separately back and forth and sewn together to finish. The back piece is 4 cm = 1½" longer than the front piece. The sleeve is worked in the round with double pointed needles/short circular needle as far as the armhole, then the sleeve cap is finished back and forth. BACK PIECE: Cast on 86-93-103-113-123-133 stitches (including 1 edge stitch on each side) with circular needle size 4 MM = US 6 and Air. Purl 1 row from the wrong side. Then work pattern in the different sizes as follows: Size S: 1 edge stitch in GARTER STITCH – read description above, knit 1, purl 2, A.1 over the next 60 stitches (= 2 repeats of 30 stitches), work the first 21 stitches in A.1 and 1 edge stitch in garter stitch. Go to ALL SIZES. Sizes M, L, XL, XXL and XXXL: 1 edge stitch in GARTER STITCH – read description above, A.1 over the next 90-90-90-120-120 stitches (= 3-3-3-4-4 repeats of 30 stitches), work the first 0-11-21-0-11 stitches in A.1, knit 1-0-0-1-0 and 1 edge stitch in garter stitch. Go to ALL SIZES. ALL SIZES: Repeat the first 4 rows in the diagram until the rib measures 9 cm = 3½" – adjust so the next row is from the right side. Change to circular needle size 5.5 MM = US 9. Now continue onwards in the diagram (= 8-9-10-11-12-13 stitches decreased on the next row) = 78-84-93-102-111-120 stitches. Continue the pattern back and forth. REMEMBER THE KNITTING GAUGE. When the diagram has been completed in height, continue with stockinette stitch and 1 edge stitch in garter stitch on each side. When the piece measures 38-39-40-41-42-43 cm = 15"-15¼"-15¾"-16⅛"-16½"-17", bind off stitches at the beginning of each row for the armholes as follows: Bind off 3-3-4-4-5-6 stitches 1 time, 2 stitches 0-1-2-3-3-4 times and 1 stitch 1-1-1-2-3-3 times on both sides = 70-72-75-78-83-86 stitches. Continue with stockinette stitch and 1 edge stitch in garter stitch on each side. When the armhole measures 17-18-19-20-21-22 cm = 6¾"-7"-7½"-8"-8¼"-8¾" (the piece measures approx. 55-57-59-61-63-65 cm = 21⅝"-22½"-23¼"-24"-24¾"-25½" from the cast-on edge), bind off the middle 32-34-35-36-37-38 stitches for the neck. Each shoulder is finished separately. On the next row from the neck, bind off 1 stitch = 18-18-19-20-22-23 stitches. When the armhole measures 20-21-22-23-24-25 cm = 8"-8¼"-8¾"-9"-9½"-9¾" (the piece measures 58-60-62-64-66-68 cm = 22¾"-23⅝"-24⅜"-25¼"-26"-26¾" from the cast-on edge), bind off with knit from the right side. Work the other shoulder in the same way. FRONT PIECE: Cast on 86-93-103-113-123-133 stitches (including 1 edge stitch on each side) with circular needle size 4 MM = US 6 and Air. Purl 1 row from the wrong side. Then work pattern in the different sizes as follows: Size S: 1 edge stitch in garter stitch, knit 1, purl 2, A.1 over the next 60 stitches (= 2 repeats of 30 stitches), work the first 21 stitches in A.1 and 1 edge stitch in garter stitch. Go to ALL SIZES. Sizes M, L, XL, XXL and XXXL: 1 edge stitch in garter stitch, A.1 over the next 90-90-90-120-120 stitches (= 3-3-3-4-4 repeats of 30 stitches), work the first 0-11-21-0-11 stitches in A.1, knit 1-0-0-1-0 and 1 edge stitch in garter stitch. Go to ALL SIZES. ALL SIZES: Repeat the first 4 rows in the diagram until the rib measures 5 cm = 2" – adjust so the next row is from the right side. Change to circular needle size 5.5 MM = US 9. Now continue onwards in the diagram (= 8-9-10-11-12-13 stitches decreased on the next row) = 78-84-93-102-111-120 stitches. Continue the pattern back and forth. When the diagram has been completed in height, continue with stockinette stitch and 1 edge stitch in garter stitch on each side. When the piece measures 34-35-36-37-38-39 cm = 13⅜"-13¾"-14¼"-14½"-15"-15¼", bind off stitches at the beginning of each row for the armholes as follows: Bind off 3-3-4-4-5-6 stitches 1 time, 2 stitches 0-1-2-3-3-4 times and 1 stitch 1-1-1-2-3-3 times on both sides = 70-72-75-78-83-86 stitches. Continue with stockinette stitch and 1 edge stitch in garter stitch on each side. When the armhole measures 11-12-13-13-14-15 cm = 4⅜"-4¾"-5⅛"-5⅛"-5½"-6" (the piece measures approx. 45-47-49-50-52-54 cm = 17¾"-18½"-19¼"-19¾"-20½"-21¼" from the cast-on edge), place the middle 18-20-21-22-23-24 stitches on a thread for the neck. Each shoulder is finished separately. On each row from the neck, bind off stitches as follows: Bind off 3 stitches 2 times and 1 stitch 2 times = 18-18-19-20-22-23 stitches. When the armhole measures 20-21-22-23-24-25 cm = 8"-8¼"-8¾"-9"-9½"-9¾" (the piece measures 54-56-58-60-62-64 cm = 21¼"-22"-22¾"-23⅝"-24⅜"-25¼" from the cast-on edge), bind off with knit from the right side. Work the other shoulder in the same way. SLEEVES: Cast on 36-36-39-39-42-42 stitches with double pointed needles size 4 MM = US 6 and Air. Knit 1 round. Then work rib (knit 1, purl 2) in the round for 5 cm = 2". The next round is worked as follows: Knit 16-16-16-16-19-19, work A.2 over the next 4 stitches, knit the last 16-16-19-19-19-19 stitches. Work 1 more round with this pattern and increase, at the same time, 28-32-31-33-30-32 stitches evenly over the knitted stitches – read INCREASE TIP-1 = 64-68-70-72-72-74 stitches. Change to short circular needle size 5.5 MM = US 9. Insert a marker thread in the middle of the knitted section (= mid under the sleeve) with 30-32-33-34-34-35 knitted stitches on each side of the thread. A.2 is middle top of the sleeve. Allow the marker thread to follow your work onwards; it is used later. Continue with A.2 and stockinette stitch. Sizes S, M and L, go to ALL SIZES. Sizes XL, XXL and XXXL, increase 1 stitch on each side of the marker thread – read INCREASE TIP-2. Increase like this every 2 cm = ¾" a total of 1-2-3 times = 74-76-80 stitches. ALL SIZES: Continue working until the sleeve measures 53-52-50-48-47-46 cm = 21"-20½"-19¾"-19"-18½"-18". Bind off 6-6-8-8-10-12 stitches under the sleeve (= 3-3-4-4-5-6 stitches on each side of the marker thread). Continue back and forth with stockinette stitch, at the same time as you bind off stitches for the sleeve cap at the beginning of each row as follows: Bind off 2-2-1-1-1-1 stitches 1-2-4-6-7-9 times, then 5-5-5-5-4-4 stitches 2-2-2-2-2-1 times on each side = 34-34-34-34-36-42 stitches. Bind off. The sleeve measures approx. 56 cm = 22" in all sizes. Work the other sleeve in the same way. ASSEMBLY: Sew the shoulder seams with grafting stitches. Sew the side seams inside the 1 edge stitch – back piece is 4 cm = 1½" longer than the front piece. You can leave a split at the bottom of each side along the ribbed section if you wish (= 9 cm = 3½" on the back piece and 5 cm = 2⅜" on the front piece). Sew the sleeves to the body inside the 1 edge stitch – see sketch. NECK: Knit up 87-90-90-93-93-96 stitches inside the 1 stitch around the neckline, with short circular needle size 4 MM = US 6 and Air. Work rib (knit 1, purl 2) in the round for 4 cm = 1½". Bind off with knit over knit and purl over purl. |
