EXPLANATION FOR THE PATTERN:
-------------------------------------------------------
PATTERN:
See diagrams A.1 to A.4.
DECREASE TIP (applies to 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 stitches), slip 1 stitch knitwise, knit 1, pass slipped stitch over stitch worked.
BIND-OFF TIP:
To avoid a tight bind-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 binding off (bind off yarn overs as regular stitches).

-------------------------------------------------------
SWEATER - SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE:
Worked top down. Work neck edge in the round on double pointed needles/a short circular needle. Work yoke with cables and raglan increase on circular needle. Divide piece for body and sleeves. Continue body in the round on circular needle with cables. Work sleeves in the round on double pointed needles.
NECK EDGE:
Cast on 52-52 (60-60-68-68) stitches on double pointed needles/circular needle size 4.5 MM = US 7 with Alaska.
Knit 1 round. Round starts approx. mid back.
Then work rib as follows:
Half back piece: * Knit 2, purl 2 *, work from *-* over 4-4 (4-4-8-8) stitches, A.1 (= 5 stitches).
Right sleeve: * Purl 2, knit 2 *, work from *-* over the next 6-6 (10-10-10-10) stitches (i.e. begin and end with purl 2).
Front piece: A.2 (= 5 stitches), * purl 2, knit 2 *, work from *-* over the next 10-10 (10-10-14-14) stitches (i.e. begin and end with purl 2), A.1 over 5 stitches.
Left sleeve: * Purl 2, knit 2 *, work from *-* over the next 6-6 (10-10-10-10) stitches (i.e. begin and end with purl 2).
Half back piece: A.2 over 5 stitches, * purl 2, knit 2 *, over the last 6 stitches (i.e. begin and end with purl 2).
Continue with knit over knit and purl over purl until piece measures 3 cm = 1 1/8". Insert 1 marker at the beginning of round, measure from this marker!
Switch to circular needle size 5.5 MM = US 9 and work yoke as follows:
YOKE:
Work next round as follows:
Half back piece: Knit 3-3 (3-3-7-7) while increasing 0-1 (2-3-1-3) stitches evenly, 1 yarn over, A.3 (= 7 stitches).
Right sleeve: 1 yarn over, knit 4-4 (8-8-8-8) while increasing 4-4 (0-2-2-2) stitches evenly, 1 yarn over.
Front piece: A.4 (= 7 stitches), 1 yarn over, knit 8-8 (8-8-12-12) while increasing 0-2 (4-6-2-6) stitches evenly, 1 yarn over, A.3 over 7 stitches.
Left sleeve: 1 yarn over, knit 4-4 (8-8-8-8) while increasing 4-4 (0-2-2-2) stitches evenly, 1 yarn over.
Half back piece: A.4 over 7 stitches, 1 yarn over, knit 5 while increasing 0-1 (2-3-1-3) stitches evenly.
8-12 (8-16-8-16) stitches have been increased evenly in total, 1 yarn over on each side of A.3/A.4 (= 8 stitches increased in total for raglan) and 1 stitch in every A.3/A.4 (= 4 stitches) = 72-76 (80-88-88-96) stitches in total on row.
Knit yarn overs on each side of A.3/A.4 on next round to make holes.
Do work the other yarn overs twisted to avoid holes.
Continue with A.3 and A.4 and stockinette stitch over the remaining stitches and increase every other round 10-11 (12-12-13-14) times in total (including the first increase explained above)= 144-156 (168-176-184-200 ) stitches.
When A.3a and A.4a have been worked 1 time vertically, repeat A.3a and A.4a vertically.REMEMBER THE KNITTING GAUGE!
After all increases piece measures approx. 10-11 (12-12-13-14) cm = 4"-4 3/8" (4 3/4"-4 3/4"-5 1/8"-5 1/2") from marker.
Then work as before without increases until piece measures 11-12 (13-14-15-16) cm = 4 3/8"-4 3/4" (5 1/8"-5 1/2"-6"-6 1/4"). Now divide the piece for body and sleeves on next round as follows:
Work over the first 21-23 (25-26-29-32) stitches as before, slip the next 28-30 (32-34-36-38) stitches on a stitch holder for sleeve and cast on 6 stitches under sleeve, work as before over the next 44-48 (52-54-56-62) stitches, slip the next 28-30 (32-34-36-38) stitches on a stitch holder for sleeve and cast on 6 stitches under sleeve and work the last 23-25 (27-28-27-30) stitches as before.
BODY:
= 100-108 (116-120-124-136) stitches. Continue in the round with stockinette stitch and A.3/A.4 as before. Work stitches cast on under sleeve in in stockinette stitch.
When piece measures 13-15 (17-20-23-26) cm = 5 1/8"-6" (6 3/4"-8"-9"-10 1/4") from division (approx. 3 cm = 1 1/8" remain), work next round as follows:
Knit 13-15 (17-18-21-24) while increasing 0-2 (4-3-4-1) stitches evenly, A.3a as before, knit 6 while increasing 2 stitches evenly, A.4a as before, knit 28-32 (36-38-40-46) while increasing 4-4 (4-6-4-6) evenly, A.3a as before, knit 6 while increasing 2 stitches evenly, A.4a as before, knit 15-17 (19-20-19-22) while increasing 4-2 (0-3-0-5) stitches evenly = 112-120 (128-136-136-152) stitches.
Switch to circular needle size 4.5 MM = US 7.
Then work rib as follows:
* Purl 2, knit 2 *, work from *-* over the first 12-16 (20-20-24-24) stitches, purl 1, A.3b over A.3a, purl 1, * knit 2, purl 2 *, work from *-* over 6 stitches, purl 1, A.4b over A.4a, purl 1, * knit 2, purl 2 *, work from *-* over 30-34 (38-42-42-50) stitches, purl 1, A.3b over A.3a, purl 1, * knit 2, purl 2 *, work from *-* over 6 stitches, purl 1, A.4b over A.4a, purl 1, * knit 2, purl 2 *, work from *-* over 18-18 (18-22-18-26) stitches (i.e. begin and end with knit 2). Continue with knit over knit and purl over purl until piece measures 16-18 (20-23-26-29) cm = 6 1/4"-7" (8"-9"-10 1/4"-11 3/8") from division. Bind off with knit over knit and purl over purl - read BIND-OFF TIP.
Sweater measures approx. 30-33 (36-40-44-48) cm = 11 3/4"-13" (14 1/4"-15 3/4"-17 1/4"-19") from shoulder and down.
SLEEVES:
Slip the 28-30 (32-34-36-38) stitches from stitch holder in one side of piece on double pointed needles size 5.5 MM = US 9 and pick up 1 stitch in each of the 6 stitches cast on under sleeve = 34-36 (38-40-42-44) stitches.
Insert 1 marker in the middle of the 6 new stitches under the sleeve. Decrease on each side of this marker later.
Work in stockinette stitch in the round.
When sleeve measures 3 cm = 1 1/8" from division, decrease 1 stitch on each side of marker - read DECREASE TIP (= 2 stitches decreased). Decrease like this every 3-2½ (3½-5-5½-6) cm = 1 1/8"-1" (1 1/4"-2"-2 1/8"-2 3/8") 3-4 (4-4-4-4) times in total = 28-28 (30-32-34-36) stitches.
When piece measures 13-15 (18-22-25-29) cm = 5 1/8"-6" (7"-8 3/4"-9 3/4"-11 3/8") from division, increase 0-0 (2-0-2-0) stitches evenly = 28-28 (32-32-36-36) stitches.
Switch to double pointed needles size 4.5 MM = US 7.
Work rib (= knit 2/purl 2). Bind off with knit over knit and purl over purl when sleeve measures 16-18 (21-25-28-32) cm = 6 1/4"-7" (8 1/4"-9 3/4"-11"-12 1/2") from division.
Work the other sleeve the same way.

Au début avec 52 m pour le col. Je ne comprends pas où et comment intégrer les diagrammes A1 et A2. Car si on tricote 2m endroit, 2m envers et que l'on répète ces 4m, A quel endroit placer les 5m de A1. Cela dépassera les 52m. Expliquez moi clairement SVP Merci

Bonjour Mme Bilongo, quand vous devez répéter (2 m endroit, 2 m envers) sur 4 mailles, vous devez juste tricoter ces 4 mailles, puis pour la manche, si vous devez tricoter (2 m env, 2 m end) sur 6 mailles, vous allez tricoter: 2 m env, 2 m end, 2 m env. Et ainsi de suite. Bon tricot!
30.05.2023 kl. 11:06Buongiorno, scusate, parlo dello sprone, dice che in totale sono state aumentate 16 maglie, e fin qui ci sono, ma non sono stati calcolati gli altri aumenti fatti escludendo quelli di A1 e A2, perché continuano a non tornarmi i conti. Perdonate ma non riesco proprio a capire dove sbaglio.
16.05.2023 - 06:38DROPS Design answered:
Buonasera Laura, nel primo giro di aumenti si aumentano le maglie in modo uniforme, le maglie del raglan, e 1 maglia in ogni A.3 e A.4, arrivando a 96 maglie. Nei giri successivi si aumentano solo le 8 maglie per il raglan. Buon lavoro!
18.05.2023 kl. 21:26Buongiorno, sono arrivata alla parte della divisione tra il corpo e le maniche, ma dai miei calcoli per la taglia più grande mi risultano 212 maglie e non 200, potete aiutarmi? Grazie
14.05.2023 - 15:47DROPS Design answered:
Buonasera Laura, deve aumentare il primo giro come indicato fino ad arrivare a 96 maglie, poi deve aumentare per il raglan a giri alterni altre 13 volte, per cui 8x13=104 maglie, che sommate alle 96 fanno 200. Buon lavoro!
15.05.2023 kl. 22:02Hej Jag gillar denna tröja. Stickar nu till baby. Kan ni på drops design även lägga upp på hemsidan vuxenstorlekar för detta mönster?

Hei Sissela Ta en titt på oppskrift DROPS 230-12, den er ganske lik barneoppskriften. mvh DROPS Design
08.05.2023 kl. 12:43Hola! No encuentro cómo aumentar para el ranglan cada 2 vueltas en el canesú. Serían en el mismo lugar de las lazadas que quedan tejidas formando agujeros? Es decir, 8 aumentos por vez? Gracias
22.04.2023 - 18:08DROPS Design answered:
Hola Josefina, aumentas 8 puntos repartidos en la fila, a cada lado de A.3/A.4, como antes. Estas hebras se trabajan de derecho y quedan agujeros.
23.04.2023 kl. 19:33Hello, I’m having trouble understanding the increases on the yoke after the first round. Is it the same instructions as the first round for the next 12 increase rows? Knit 3 increase 2 evenly? Thank you! Julie
31.03.2023 - 17:42DROPS Design answered:
Dear Julie, no, you will only work the yarn overs on each side of A.3/ A.4. The rest of the increases are only worked in the first round, in order to adjust to the correct number of stitches to start. Happy knitting!
02.04.2023 kl. 19:57Je ne comprends rien aux explications pour les augmentations !! je ma retrouve avec un nombre incroyable de mailles , si on met 1maille pour 1/2 dos, 2 mailles pour les manches, 2 mailles pour le devant, plus les 8 mailles des raglans! Merci de vos lumières !

Bonjour Mme Boucton, pouvez-vous nous indiquer quelle taille vous tricotez et à quel niveau des explications vous en êtes? Ce sera ainsi plus facile de vous répondre, merci pour votre compréhension.

27.02.2023 kl. 09:39I am asking about the increase in every other round If i increase 20 stitches in every other round 10 times ther will be 200 stitch for addition Iac not undersdant how to increase
23.12.2022 - 17:18DROPS Design answered:
Dear Ghada, you only need to repeat the increases on each side of each raglan line (a total of 8 increases on each round). That is, work 1 yarn over on each side of A.3/A.4. So you will increase 80 stitches. Happy knitting!
