EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN:
-------------------------------------------------------
RIDGE/GARTER STITCH (worked back and forth):
Knit all rows.
PATTERN:
See diagram A.1. The diagram shows all rows from the right side.
DECREASE TIP-1 (evenly spaced):
To work out how to decrease evenly, count the total number of stitches on needle (e.g. 90 stitches), minus the edge stitches (e.g. 2 stitches) and divide the remaining stitches by number of decreases to be made (e.g. 12) = 7.3.
In this example decrease by knitting together approx. each 6th and 7th stitch.

VEST – SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE:
The front and back pieces are knitted separately, back and forth and bottom up then sewn together. Ribbed edges are worked around the neck and armholes to finish.
FRONT PIECE:
Cast on 90-98-102-110-122-134 stitches with circular needle 4 mm and DROPS Air. Work rib back and forth as follows: 1 edge stitch in GARTER STITCH – read description above, * knit 2, purl 2 *, work from *-* until there is 1 stitch left and 1 edge stitch in garter stitch. Continue this rib for 6 cm.
Change to circular needle size 5 mm and work as follows from the right side: 1 edge stitch in garter stitch, work stocking stitch and decrease 12 stitches evenly over the next 88-96-100-108-120-132 stitches - read DECREASE TIP, and 1 edge stitch in garter stitch = 78-86-90-98-110-122 stitches. Purl 1 row from the wrong side (edge stitches knitted).
Work pattern A.1 with 1 edge stitch in garter stitch on each side. When the piece measures 10 cm from the cast-on edge, increase 1 stitch inside the edge stitches on both sides – 1 yarn over which is worked twisted into the pattern on the next row. Repeat this increase every 10-14-7-8-15-15 cm a total of 3-2-4-4-2-2 times on each side. There are 84-90-98-106-114-126 stitches. Continue the pattern until the piece measures 37-38-39-40-41-42 cm. REMEMBER THE KNITTING TENSION!
Continue A.1 and cast off for the armholes at the beginning of every row as follows: 3 stitches 1 time, 2 stitches 1-1-2-2-3-4 times and 1 stitch 3-3-4-6-6-9 times on each side = 68-74-76-80-84-86 stitches. Continue with A.1 and 1 edge stitch in garter stitch on each side until the piece measures 51-53-54-55-56-57 cm and the next row is from the right side.
Now work the neck as follows: Work the first 28-30-31-32-34-34 stitches as before, cast off 12-14-14-16-16-18 stitches for the neck and work the last 28-30-31-32-34-34 stitches. Place the first 28-30-31-32-34-34 stitches on a thread for the shoulder.
RIGHT SHOULDER (front piece):
= 28-30-31-32-34-34 stitches. Continue the pattern and cast off at the beginning of each row from the right side as follows: 3 stitches 1 time, 2 stitches 1 time and 1 stitch 2-2-3-3-3-3 times = 21-23-23-24-26-26 stitches. Cast off with knit from the right side when the piece measures 60-62-64-66-68-70 cm from the cast-on edge.
LEFT SHOULDER (front piece):
Place the 28-30-31-32-34-34 stitches from the thread back on circular needle size 5 mm. Continue the pattern and cast off at the beginning of each row from the wrong side as follows: 3 stitches 1 time, 2 stitches 1 time and 1 stitch 2-2-3-3-3-3 times = 21-23-23-24-26-26 stitches. Cast off with knit from the right side when the piece measures 60-62-64-66-68-70 cm from the cast-on edge.
BACK PIECE:
Cast on 90-98-102-110-122-134 stitches with circular needle 4 mm and DROPS Air. Work rib back and forth as follows: 1 edge stitch in garter stitch, * knit 2, purl 2 *, work from *-* until there is 1 stitch left and 1 edge stitch in garter stitch. Continue this rib for 6 cm.
Change to circular needle size 5 mm and work as follows from the right side: 1 edge stitch in garter stitch, work stocking stitch and decrease 12 stitches evenly over the next 88-96-100-108-120-132 stitches - remember DECREASE TIP and 1 edge stitch in garter stitch = 78-86-90-98-110-122 stitches. Purl 1 row from the wrong side (edge stitches knitted).
Continue with A.1 and 1 edge stitch in garter stitch on each side. When the piece measures 10 cm from the cast-on edge, increase 1 stitch inside the edge stitches on both sides – 1 yarn over which is worked twisted into the pattern on the next row. Repeat this increase every 10-14-7-8-15-15 cm a total of 3-2-4-4-2-2 times on each side. There are 84-90-98-106-114-126 stitches. Continue working until the piece measures 37-38-39-40-41-42 cm.
Continue A.1 and cast off for the armholes at the beginning of every row as follows: 3 stitches 1 time, 2 stitches 1-1-2-2-3-4 times and 1 stitch 3-3-4-6-6-9 times on each side = 68-74-76-80-84-86 stitches. Continue with A.1 and 1 edge stitch in garter stitch on each side until the piece measures 58-60-62-64-66-68 cm and the next row is from the right side.
Now work the neck as follows: Work the first 22-24-24-25-27-27 stitches as before, cast off 24-26-28-30-30-32 stitches for the neck and work the last 22-24-24-25-27-27 stitches. Each shoulder is finished separately.
RIGHT SHOULDER (back piece):
= 22-24-24-25-27-27 stitches. Continue the pattern and cast off 1 stitch on the next row from the neck = 21-23-23-24-26-26 stitches. Cast off with knit from the right side when the piece measures 60-62-64-66-68-70 cm from the cast-on edge.
LEFT SHOULDER (back piece):
= 22-24-24-25-27-27 stitches. Continue the pattern and cast off 1 stitch on the next row from the neck = 21-23-23-24-26-26 stitches. Cast off with knit from the right side when the piece measures 60-62-64-66-68-70 cm from the cast-on edge.
ASSEMBLY:
Sew the shoulder seams edge to edge so the seam is flat. Sew the side seams inside the 1 edge stitch, working from the bottom edge up to the armholes.
NECK:
Use circular needle size 4 mm and DROPS Air. Start from the right side by the shoulder seam and knit up approx. 76-80-88-92-96-100 stitches around the neck (the number of stitches should be divisible by 4). Work rib in the round (knit 2, purl 2) for 3 to 3½ cm. Cast off with knit over knit and purl over purl.
SLEEVE-EDGES:
Use circular needle size 4 mm and DROPS Air. Start from the right side by the side seam and knit up approx. 96-100-104-108-116-120 stitches around the armhole, inside the 1 edge stitch (the number of stitches should be divisible by 4). Work rib in the round (knit 2, purl 2) for 3 to 3½ cm. Cast off with knit over knit and purl over purl. Repeat around the other armhole.

Dag Rosette,
Bij het patroon staat aangegeven hoeveel wol je in elke maat nodig hebt. 1 bol weegt 50 gram, dus voor maat L heb je 6 bollen nodig (= 300 gram).
08.03.2023 kl. 12:41Twee vragen: waarom wordt deze slip-over op rondbrei naalden gebreid ? En waarom wordt er aangegeven dat ik naalden zonder knop nodig?
15.02.2023 - 20:57I appreciate your prompt response each time. I really love the model but is just not working for me as my first time. I did 2 purl than 2 knit (RS) 2 purl and 2 knit (WS) 4 knit on RS 4 purl on WS 2 knit than 2 purls RS etc and it just does not look right. Maybe I just need to start my first project with another model.
04.06.2022 - 20:43So "= purl from right side, knit from wrong side " means 2 rows?
01.06.2022 - 11:50DROPS Design answered:
Dear Elena, no, this means if you work this stitch from RS you will purl it, and the same stitch/symbol will be knitted from WS ; in other words, a white square is a stitch in stocking stitch, a black dot a stitch worked in reversed stocking stitch. Happy knitting!
01.06.2022 kl. 13:15Can I have another description on how to follow the diagram? I do not understand how to do the "= purl from right side, knit from wrong side = knit from right side, purl from wrong side"
31.05.2022 - 18:51DROPS Design answered:
Hi Elena, When working from the right side the open squares are knitted, when working back from the wrong side they are purled. When working from the right side the squares with black circles are purled and then knitted when you work back from the wrong side. Happy knitting!
