------------------------------------------------------- EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN ------------------------------------------------------- PATTERN: See diagram A.1. The diagram shows all rows in the pattern from the right side. RIDGE/GARTER STITCH (worked back and forth): Knit all rows. 1 ridge = knit 2 rows. INCREASE TIP (evenly spaced): To work out how to increase evenly, count the total number of stitches on the needle (e.g. 70 stitches) minus the front band stitches (= 4 stitches) and divide the remaining stitches by the number of increases to be made (e.g. 7) = 9.4. In this example, increase by making 1 yarn over after each 9th stitch. On the next row purl the yarn overs twisted to avoid holes. BUTTONHOLES: Work buttonholes on the right band (when the garment is worn). Work from the right side when there are 3 stitches left on the row as follows: Make 1 yarn over, knit 2 together and knit 1. On the next row knit the yarn over to leave a hole. The first buttonhole is worked approx. 1 cm = ⅜" below the neck. Then the other 5-5-5-6-6-6 buttonholes are worked with 9½-9½-10-9-9-9 cm = 3 5/9"-3 5/9"-4"-3½"-3½"-3½" between each one. RAGLAN: Increase 1 stitch on each side of 7 stitches (= A.1) in the transitions between the body and sleeves (= 8 stitches increased on the row). Increase 1 stitch by making 1 yarn over. On the next row purl the yarn overs twisted to avoid holes. Then work the new stitches in stockinette stitch. DECREASE TIP (for sleeves): Decrease 1 stitch on either side of the marker thread as follows: Work until there are 3 stitches left before the marker thread, knit 2 together, knit 2 (marker thread sits between these 2 stitches), slip 1 stitch as if to knit, knit 1 and pass the slipped stitch over the knitted stitch (2 stitches decreased). BINDING-OFF TIP: To avoid the bind-off edge being tight you can bind 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 binding off; the yarn overs are bind off as normal stitches. ------------------------------------------------------- START THE PIECE HERE: ------------------------------------------------------- JACKET – SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE. The neck and yoke are worked back and forth with circular needle, from mid front and top down. The yoke is divided for the body and sleeves and the body is continued back and forth with circular needle as far as the split, when each section is finished separately. The sleeves are worked in the round with double pointed needles/short circular needle, top down. DOUBLE NECK: Cast on 107-107-115-115-129-133 stitches (including 5 band stitches on each side towards mid-front) with circular needle size 4.5 MM = US 7 and 2 strands Brushed Alpaca Silk. Remove 1 strand and continue with just 1 strand. Purl 1 row from the wrong side. The next row is worked from the right side as follows: 5 band stitches in GARTER STITCH – read description above, knit 1 twisted, * purl 1, knit 1 twisted *, work from *-* over the next 10-10-12-12-16-16 stitches, work A.1 (= 7 stitches), * knit 1 twisted, purl 1 *, repeat from *-* over the next 12 stitches, knit 1 twisted, work A.1, * knit 1 twisted, purl 1 *, work from *-* over the next 20-20-24-24-30-34 stitches, knit 1 twisted, work A.1, * knit 1 twisted, purl 1 *, repeat from *-* over the next 12 stitches, knit 1 twisted, work A.1, * knit 1 twisted, purl 1 *, work from *-* over the next 10-10-12-12-16-16 stitches, knit 1 twisted, 5 band stitches in garter stitch. Continue this rib for 12 cm = 4¾". The neck will be folded double later. Insert 1 marker after the band at the beginning of the row; the yoke is measured from this marker. YOKE: Change to circular needle size 5.5 MM = US 9 and work as follows from the right side: 5 band stitches in garter stitch, knit 11-11-13-13-17-17 and decrease 2-1-1-1-2-0 stitches over these stitches (= 9-10-12-12-15-17 stitches), A.1, knit 13 and decrease 3 stitches over these stitches (= 10 stitches), A.1, knit 21-21-25-25-31-35 and decrease 3-1-1-1-1-1 stitches over these stitches (= 18-20-24-24-30-34 stitches), A.1, knit 13 and decrease 3 stitches over these stitches (= 10 stitches), A.1, knit 11-11-13-13-17-17 and decrease 2-1-1-1-2-0 stitches over these stitches (= 9-10-12-12-15-17 stitches), 5 band stitches in garter stitch = 94-98-106-106-118-126 stitches. Remember the BUTTONHOLES on the right band – read description above. Continue the pattern, AT THE SAME TIME, on the next row from the right side begin to increase to RAGLAN – read description above (= 8 stitches increased). Increase every 2nd row (= each row from the right side), a total of 16-18-20-22-25-26 times = 222-242-266-282-318-334 stitches. REMEMBER THE KNITTING GAUGE! Continue working without further increases until the piece measures 22-24-26-28-30-32 cm = 8¾"-9½"-10¼"-11"-11¾"-12½" from the marker. Now divide for the body and sleeves as follows: Work the first 37-40-44-46-52-55 stitches as before (= left front piece), place the next 42-46-50-54-60-62 stitches on a thread for the sleeve, cast on 6-6-6-8-8-10 stitches (= in side under sleeve), work the next 64-70-78-82-94-100 stitches (= back piece), place the next 42-46-50-54-60-62 stitches on a thread for the sleeve, cast on 6-6-6-8-8-10 stitches (= in side under sleeve), work the remaining 37-40-44-46-52-55 stitches (= right front piece). BODY: = 150-162-178-190-214-230 stitches. Insert 1 marker in each side, in the middle of the 6-6-6-8-8-10 new stitches under each sleeve. Allow the markers to follow your work onwards; they will be used when dividing for the split. Continue back and forth, with stockinette stitch and 5 band stitches in garter stitch on each side until the piece measures 20 cm = 8" from the division – finish after a row from the wrong side. There is approx. 12 cm = 4¾" left to finished length; try the jacket on and work to desired length. Now divide the piece at each marker and finish each piece separately. LEFT FRONT PIECE (when the garment is worn): = 40-43-47-50-56-60 stitches. Knit 1 row from the right side and increase 4-5-5-6-6-6 stitches evenly spaced – read INCREASE TIP = 44-48-52-56-62-66 stitches. Purl 1 row from the wrong side with 5 band stitches in garter stitch towards mid-front and 2 stitches in garter stitch towards the split. Change to circular needle size 4.5 MM = US 7 and work the next row from the right side as follows: 5 band stitches in garter stitch, * knit 1 twisted, purl 1 *, work from *-* until there are 3 stitches left, knit 1 twisted and 2 stitches in garter stitch. From the wrong side the rib is worked as follows: 2 stitches in garter stitch, purl 1 twisted * knit 1, purl 1 twisted *, work from *-* until there are 5 stitches left, 5 band stitches in garter stitch. Continue this rib for 12 cm = 4¾". Loosely bind off with garter stitch over garter stitch, knit over knit and purl over purl – read BINDING-OFF TIP. The jacket measures approx. 58-60-62-64-66-68 cm = 22¾"-23⅝"-24⅜"-25¼"-26"-26¾" from the shoulder down. RIGHT FRONT PIECE: = 40-43-47-50-56-60 stitches. Knit 1 row from the right side and increase 4-5-5-6-6-6 stitches evenly spaced = 44-48-52-56-62-66 stitches. Purl 1 row from the wrong side with 5 band stitches in garter stitch towards mid-front and 2 stitches in garter stitch towards the split. Change to circular needle size 4.5 MM = US 7 and work the next row from the right side as follows: 2 stitches in garter stitch, * knit 1 twisted, purl 1 *, work from *-* until there are 6 stitches left, knit 1 twisted and 5 band stitches in garter stitch. Continue this rib for 12 cm = 4¾". Loosely bind off with garter stitch over garter stitch, knit over knit and purl over purl – remember BINDING-OFF TIP. BACK PIECE: = 70-76-84-90-102-110 stitches. Knit 1 row from the right side and increase 7-7-9-9-11-11 stitches evenly spaced = 77-83-93-99-113-121 stitches. Purl 1 row from the wrong side with 2 stitches in garter stitch on each side. Change to circular needle size 4.5 MM = US 7 and work the next row from the right side as follows: 2 stitches in garter stitch, * knit 1 twisted, purl 1 *, work from *-* until there are 3 stitches left, knit 1 twisted and 2 stitches in garter stitch. Continue this rib for 12 cm = 4¾". Loosely bind off with garter stitch over garter stitch, knit over knit and purl over purl – remember BINDING-OFF TIP. SLEEVES: Place the 42-46-50-54-60-62 stitches from the thread on the one side of the piece on double pointed needles/short circular needle size 5.5 MM = US 9 and knit up 1 stitch in each of the 6-6-6-8-8-10 stitches cast on under the sleeve = 48-52-56-62-68-72 stitches. Insert a marker thread in the middle of the new stitches under the sleeve. Work stockinette stitch in the round, AT THE SAME TIME when the sleeve measures 4 cm = 1½", decrease 2 stitches under the sleeve – read DECREASE TIP. Decrease like this every 7-4-3½-2½-1½-1½ cm = 2¾"-1½"-1¼"-1"-½"-½" a total of 4-5-6-8-9-10 times = 40-42-44-46-50-52 stitches. Continue working until the sleeve measures 28-26-24-23-20-18 cm = 11"-10¼"-9½"-9"-8"-7". Change to double pointed needles size 4.5 MM = US 7 and work rib (knit 1 twisted, purl 1) for 12 cm = 4¾". Bind off with knit over knit and purl over purl. The sleeve measures approx. 40-38-36-35-32-30 cm = 15¾"-15"-14¼"-13¾"-12½"-11¾" from the division. Work the other sleeve in the same way. ASSEMBLY: Sew the buttons onto the left band. Fold the neck double to the wrong side and sew down. To avoid the neck being tight and rolling outwards, it is important that the seam is elastic. Sew the openings at the ends of the neck with small stitches. |
