EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN:
-------------------------------------------------------
DECREASE/INCREASE TIP (evenly spaced):
To work out how to decrease/increase evenly, count the total number of stitches to be decreased/increased over (e.g. 96 stitches) and divide by number of decreases/increases to be made (e.g. 8) = 12. In this example, decrease by knitting together each 11th and 12th stitch.
When increasing, make 1 yarn over after each 12th stitch. On the next round knit the yarn overs twisted to avoid holes.
PATTERN:
See diagrams A.1 and A.2.
RAGLAN:
Increase to raglan by making 1 yarn over on each side of A.1; the yarn overs are worked twisted on the next round, then worked into A.2.
STRIPES:
The neck and the first 2 cm on the yoke are worked with white before starting the stripes. Then work alternately 3½-3½-3½-3-3-3½ cm with jeans blue and 5 cm with white until you have worked 6-6-6-7-7-7 jeans blue stripes on the yoke/body and 7-7-7-7-7-7 jeans blue stripes on the yoke/sleeves. Then finish the pieces with white.
DECREASE TIP (sleeves):
Decrease 1 stitch on either side of the marker-stitch as follows: Work until there are 2 stitches left before the marker-stitch, knit 2 together, knit 1 (marker-stitch), slip 1 stitch as if to knit, knit 1 and pass the slipped stitch over the knitted stitch.
CASTING-OFF TIP:
To avoid the cast-off edge being tight you can cast off with a larger size needle. If the edge is still tight, make 1 yarn over after approx. each 4th stitch at the same time as casting off; the yarn overs are cast off as normal stitches.
-------------------------------------------------------
START THE PIECE HERE:
-------------------------------------------------------
JUMPER – SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE:
The neck and yoke are worked in the round with circular needle, top down. The yoke is divided for body and sleeves and the body is continued in the round with circular needle. The sleeves are worked with double pointed needles/short circular needle.
NECK:
Cast on 96-100-104-112-120-124 stitches with circular needle size 3.5 mm and white DROPS Sky. Work rib in the round (knit 2, purl 2) for 12 cm (the neck is later folded double and sewn down to the wrong side).
Knit 1 round where you decrease 8-8-8-12-12-12 stitches evenly spaced – read DECREASE/INCREASE TIP in explanations above = 88-92-96-100-108-112 stitches.
YOKE:
Change to circular needle size 4.5 mm. Read STRIPES before continuing.
Insert 1 marker thread on this round; it will be used when measuring the yoke.
In addition insert 8 markers before continuing, which will be used when increasing to raglan:
Insert 1 marker at the beginning of the round (= between back piece and sleeve), count 5 stitches and insert 1 marker here, count 7-7-9-9-11-11 stitches and insert 1 marker here (= sleeve), count 5 stitches and insert 1 marker here, count 27-29-29-31-33-35 stitches and insert 1 marker here (= front piece), count 5 stitches and insert 1 marker here, count 7-7-9-9-11-11 stitches and insert 1 marker here (= sleeve), count 5 stitches and insert 1 marker here. There are 27-29-29-31-33-35 stitches left between the last and the first marker (= back piece).
Now work pattern and increase to RAGLAN – read description above, as follows:
Work A.1 over the first 5 stitches, 1 yarn over, work A.2 over the next 7-7-9-9-11-11 stitches (= sleeve), 1 yarn over, work A.1 over the next 5 stitches, 1 yarn over, work A.2 over the next 27-29-29-31-33-35 stitches (= front piece), 1 yarn over, work A.1 over the next 5 stitches, 1 yarn over, work A.2 over the next 7-7-9-9-11-11 stitches (= sleeve), 1 yarn over, work A.1 over the next 5 stitches, 1 yarn over, work A.2 over the next 27-29-29-31-33-35 stitches (= back piece), 1 yarn over. You have increased 8 stitches on the round.
REMEMBER THE KNITTING TENSION!
Continue with the pattern, stripes and increase to raglan every 2nd round a total of 24-28-30-32-34-40 times = 280-316-336-356-380-432 stitches.
Continue with stripes and pattern, but without further increases, until the piece measures 22-23-25-26-28-31 cm from the marker on the neck.
Now divide the yoke for the body and sleeves as follows: Work the first 3-2-3-5-6-6 stitches as before (= back piece), place the next 59-69-73-73-77-89 stitches on 1 thread for the sleeve, cast on 7-7-9-9-11-11 new stitches (= in side under sleeve), work the next 81-89-95-105-113-127 stitches as before (= front piece), place the next 59-69-73-73-77-89 stitches on 1 thread for the sleeve, cast on 7-7-9-9-11-11 new stitches (= in side under sleeve), work the last 78-87-92-100-107-121 stitches (= the rest of the back piece).
Body and sleeves are finished separately. THE PIECE IS NOW MEASURED FROM HERE!
BODY:
= 176-192-208-228-248-276 stitches. Continue the pattern and stripes as before over all stitches.
When the piece measures 31-32-31-32-32-31 cm from the division, knit 1 round where you increase 36-36-40-44-48-56 stitches evenly spaced = 212-228-248-272-300-332 stitches.
Change to circular needle size 3.5 mm and work rib (knit 2, purl 2) for 5 cm.
Read CASTING-OFF TIP and cast off with knit over knit and purl over purl. The jumper measures approx. 62-64-66-68-70-72 cm from the shoulder down.
SLEEVE:
Place the 59-69-73-72-77-89 stitches from the thread on the one side of the piece on double pointed needles/short circular needle size 4.5 mm and knit up 1 stitch in each of the 7-7-9-9-11-11 stitches cast on under the sleeve = 66-76-82-82-88-100 stitches. Insert a marker in the middle stitch under the sleeve and begin the round here. Continue in the round, with stripes and pattern as before.
When the piece measures 2 cm from the division, decrease 2 stitches under the sleeve – read DECREASE TIP. Decrease like this every 4-2½-2-2½-2-1 cm a total of 9-13-15-14-16-21 times = 48-50-52-54-56-58 stitches. Continue working until the piece measures 39-39-37-37-35-33 cm from the division (shorter measurements in larger sizes due to longer yoke).
Knit 1 round where you increase 4-2-4-2-4-2 stitches evenly spaced = 52-52-56-56-60-60 stitches. Change to double pointed needles size 3.5 mm and work rib (knit 2, purl 2) for 5 cm.
Remember CASTING OFF TIP and cast off with knit over knit and purl over purl.
Work the other sleeve in the same way.
ASSEMBLY:
Fold the neck double to the wrong side. Sew the cast-on edge to the neckline, with long, loose stitches from the wrong side (making sure the seam is invisible on the right side and that it is not tight).

Wat is het patroon in 224-1 ? Is dat 1 tour recht, 1 tour averecht?? Bij patroon staat: zie A.1 en A.2, maar dat zie ik nergens?

13.11.2023 - 06:46Hello! I have started this sweater, and then noticed that what I have knitted so far makes my skin itchy. What could be the itchy component, the Alpaca or the wool in the yarn? I just need to know so as to make sure not to buy yarn with that specific component next time. By the way, I bought the Drops Sky as recommended on the pattern. Thank you in advance!
21.05.2023 - 02:24DROPS Design answered:
Dear Adriana, any of those could be the irritating factor. This itchiness is caused by the small threads of the natural wool (including Alpaca). So, in each person the irritating factor may be different, since it will depend on the person's own sensibility to those threads. While Alpaca is generally softer, it may still be the reason for you skin reaction. As personal advice, you could try working a small wristwarmer, like a bracelet, with your selected yarn, and wear it for a couple of days. If your skin doesn't react to it in that time, you should be fine to use it. Happy knitting!
21.05.2023 - 18:46Buonasera, non riesco proprio a capire, gli aumenti vanno fatti prima del segnapunti o dopo? Se vanno fatti solo ai lati di A1 vuol dire che A2 rimane sempre con il stesso numero di maglie? Grazie

Buonasera Bianca, deve incorporare gli aumenti in A.2. Buon lavoro!
23.03.2023 - 21:03Når man starter med raglanen er det først 5 masker med mønster A.1. Det bemerkes at første merke (starten) er "mellom bakstykket og første erme ". Når jeg skal dele opp til ermer står det at jeg skal strikke 3 masker vanlig og så ta av 73 masker til ermet. Men vil ikke da A1 bli delt midt i, eller skal man strikke A1 ferdig først? De 3 første maskene er for meg de 3 første maskene i A1.
19.03.2023 - 08:17DROPS Design answered:
Hei Jeppe. Jo, du strikker de 3 første maskene av A.1. (i str. S). Disse 3 maskene vil nå tilhøre bakstykket på bolen. Så strikker du 2 masker av A.1 + maskene på ermet (= 55 m) + 2 masker av A.1 = 1. erme / 59 masker. Deretter strikker du 3 masker av A.1 + alle maskene på forstykket + 3 masker av A.1 (= 81 masker til forstykket på bolen). Så strikker du 2 masker av A.1 + maskene på ermet (= 55 m) + 2 masker av A.1 = 2. erme / 59 masker. Og til slutt strikker du 3 masker av A.1 + de resterende maskene til 1. merke. Alle disse maskene + de 3 første du strikket = bakstykket. mvh DROPS Design

Bonjour Mme Dufour, en fonction du nombre de mailles que vous avez (en plus ou en moins des 20 mailles de l'échantillon) vous devrez prendre soit des aiguilles plus fines (si vous avez moins de 20 mailles) soit des aiguilles plus grosses (si vous avez plus de 20 mailles) - vous pouvez également laver/bloquer votre échantillon (attention à bien suivre les indications de l'étiquette et + d'infos sur son nuancier), pour vérifier si cela peut vous aider. Retrouvez plus d'infos sur l'échantillon ici. Bon tricot!
20.02.2023 - 09:19Hallo, wo finde ich das Diagramm A1 und A 2??? Herzliche Grüße
11.02.2023 - 12:42DROPS Design answered:
Hallo Ulla, beide Diagramme finden Sie rechts unter dem Ärmel. Viel Spaß beim Stricken!
11.02.2023 - 15:28Som jeg læser diagram 1, er der 1 ret, 1vr, 1 r, 1vr, 1 r. Det medfører 2 ret efter hinanden. Er det korrekt? Det er ikke nemt at se strukturen på de små fotos. Tak for svar!
05.02.2023 - 18:28DROPS Design answered:
Hei Gita. Diagram A.1 = 1r - 1 vr - 1 r - 1 vr - 1 r = 5 masker. Du strikker A.1 4 steder pr omgang ( over raglan), det strikkes ikke A.1 rett etter hverandre. Det økes til raglan ved å lage 1 kast på hver side av mønster A.1. Når kastene strikkes er du på en omgang der det kun strikkes rettmasker, og deretter inn i mønster A.2 ved neste omgang. mvh DROPS Design
06.02.2023 - 12:13Ciao, non mi sono spiegata, volevo sapere se le maglie che si devono diminuire vanno prese sempre al dritto.
05.12.2022 - 19:23DROPS Design answered:
Buonasera Loredana, deve diminuire le maglie come indicato nei suggerimenti per le diminuzioni per le maniche. Buon lavoro!
05.12.2022 - 21:45Ciao, le diminuzioni x le maniche vanno lavorate sempre al dritto o anche al rovescio ? Grazie
05.12.2022 - 11:24DROPS Design answered:
Buonasera Loredana, le maniche si lavorano in tondo, quindi sempre sul diritto del lavoro. Buon lavoro!
