EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN:
-------------------------------------------------------
RIDGE/GARTER STITCH (worked back and forth):
Knit all rows.
1 ridge = knit 2 rows.
DECREASE TIP (evenly spaced):
To work out how to decrease evenly, count the total number of stitches on needle (e.g. 75 stitches) minus the edge stitches (e.g. 2 stitches) and divide the remaining stitches by the number of decreases to be made (e.g. 20) = 3.7.
In this example decrease by knitting together alternately each 2nd and 3rd stitch and each 3rd and 4th stitch (approx.). Do not decrease the edge stitches.
INCREASE TIP (for sleeves):
All increases are worked from the right side!
Work 1 edge stitch, 1 yarn over, work until there is 1 stitch left, 1 yarn over and 1 edge stitch.
On the next row purl the yarn overs twisted to avoid holes.
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.
BUTTONHOLES (bottom up):
Work the buttonholes on the right band. 1 BUTTONHOLE = knit together the 3rd and 4th stitch from the edge and make 1 yarn over. On the next row knit the yarn over to leave a hole.
Work buttonholes when the piece measures:
S: 15, 24, 33, 42 and 50 cm = 6", 9 1/2", 13", 16 1/2" and 19 3/4".
M: 16, 25, 34, 43 and 52 cm = 6 1/4", 9 3/4", 13 3/8", 17" and 20 1/2".
L: 14, 22, 30, 38, 45 and 52 cm = 5 1/2", 8 3/4", 11 3/4", 15", 17 3/4" and 20 1/2".
XL: 14, 22, 30, 38, 46 and 54 cm = 5 1/2", 8 3/4", 11 3/4", 15", 18" and 21 1/4".
XXL: 14, 22, 30, 38, 46 and 54 cm = 5 1/2", 8 3/4", 11 3/4", 15", 18" and 21 1/4".
XXXL: 14, 23, 32, 40, 48 and 56 cm = 5 1/2", 9", 12 1/2", 15 3/4", 19" and 22".

Continue this rib back and forth for 4 cm = 1 1/2".
Work the next row from the right side as follows:
Work the first 27 stitches as before, then work 3 stitches in the next knitted stitch as follows: Knit 1 but do not slip it from the left needle, make 1 yarn over, knit 1 in the same stitch and slip the stitch from the left needle (= 2 stitches increased), * work the next 7 stitches, work 3 stitches in the next knitted stitch (in the same way as before) *, work from *-* until there are 27 stitches left and work these stitches as before = 107-107-117-117-127-127 stitches.
On the next row work the yarn overs twisted and into the rib. Continue the new rib until the collar measures 13 cm = 5 1/8". Bind off with knit over knit and purl over purl – read BINDING-OFF TIP.
EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN:
-------------------------------------------------------
RIDGE/GARTER STITCH (worked back and forth):
Knit all rows.
1 ridge = knit 2 rows.
DECREASE TIP (evenly spaced):
To work out how to decrease evenly, count the total number of stitches on needle (e.g. 75 stitches) minus the edge stitches (e.g. 2 stitches) and divide the remaining stitches by the number of decreases to be made (e.g. 20) = 3.7.
In this example decrease by knitting together alternately each 2nd and 3rd stitch and each 3rd and 4th stitch (approx.). Do not decrease the edge stitches.
INCREASE TIP (for sleeves):
All increases are worked from the right side!
Work 1 edge stitch, 1 yarn over, work until there is 1 stitch left, 1 yarn over and 1 edge stitch.
On the next row purl the yarn overs twisted to avoid holes.
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.
BUTTONHOLES (bottom up):
Work the buttonholes on the right band. 1 BUTTONHOLE = knit together the 3rd and 4th stitch from the edge and make 1 yarn over. On the next row knit the yarn over to leave a hole.
Work buttonholes when the piece measures:
S: 15, 24, 33, 42 and 50 cm = 6", 9 1/2", 13", 16 1/2" and 19 3/4".

When the sleeve measures 14 cm = 5 1/2", increase 1 stitch on each side – read INCREASE TIP.
Increase like this every 8-6½-6-5-4½-3½ cm = 3 1/8"-2 1/2"-2 3/8"-2"-1 5/8"-1 1/4" a total of 5-6-6-7-7-8 times = 44-46-48-50-52-54 stitches. Continue working until the sleeve measures 49-49-48-46-45-43 cm = 19 1/4"-19 1/4"-19"-18"-17 3/4"-17", or to desired length (approx. 1-1-2-4-5-7 cm = 3/8"-3/8"-3/4"-1 1/2"-2"-2 3/4" left for the sleeve cap).
Insert 1 marker on each side – they mark the bottom of the armhole and are used when sewing the sleeves to the body.
Continue working until the sleeve measures 50 cm = 19 3/4" in all sizes. Bind off with knit from the right side.
Work the other sleeve in the same way.
ASSEMBLY:
Sew the shoulder seams inside the bind-off edge. Sew in the sleeves, inside the 1 edge stitch along the armholes and the bind-off edge on the sleeve cap.
Sew together the bottoms of the armholes – the markers on the sleeve should match the sides of the body – see sketch.
Sew the sleeve and side seams in one go inside the 1 edge stitch, leaving a 12 cm = 4 3/4" split at the bottom of each side seam.
COLLAR:
Start from the right side with circular needle size 6 MM = US 10 and 1 strand DROPS Fabel and 2 strands DROPS Brushed Alpaca Silk (= 3 strands).
Place the 9-9-10-10-11-11 stitches from the thread on the right front piece on the needle, knit up 77-77-83-83-89-89 stitches inside the 1 edge stitch around the neck and place the 9-9-10-10-11-11 stitches from the left front piece on the needle = 95-95-103-103-111-111 stitches.
Work rib from the wrong side as follows:
1 edge stitch in garter stitch, rib (purl 1 knit 1) until there are 2 stitches left, purl 1 and 1 edge stitch in garter stitch.
Continue this rib back and forth for 4 cm = 1 1/2".
Work the next row from the right side as follows:
Work the first 27 stitches as before, then work 3 stitches in the next knitted stitch as follows: Knit 1 but do not slip it from the left needle, make 1 yarn over, knit 1 in the same stitch and slip the stitch from the left needle (= 2 stitches increased), * work the next 7 stitches, work 3 stitches in the next knitted stitch (in the same way as before) *, work from *-* until there are 27 stitches left and work these stitches as before = 107-107-117-117-127-127 stitches.
On the next row work the yarn overs twisted and into the rib. Continue the new rib until the collar measures 13 cm = 5 1/8". Bind off with knit over knit and purl over purl – read BINDING-OFF TIP.

Dear Jean, the measurements for the jacket are indicated in the schematic after the pattern instructions. If you work following the gauge indicated and the amount of stitches for the selected size, you should get the correct measurements. Check with your selected yarn and needles if you can obtain the correct gauge and follow the pattern. The yarn indicated for this pattern is a 50g=50m yardage yarn but you may try others of similar weight or a combination of several threads of lighter yarns to obtain the correct gauge. Happy knitting!
05.02.2023 kl. 23:15Can i use worsted 4 sply (4 strands) with this pattern . I love the pattern
04.02.2023 - 16:01J'ai eu beaucoup de plaisir à tricoter votre modèle et je veux qu'il reste beau après le lavage. J'aimerais donc que vous me donniez le nom d'une lessive spéciale laine avec lavage à la main qui sera la plus adaptée à vos laines pour me permettre d'en profiter le plus longtemps possible.

Bonjour Mme Aubry, il en existe différentes toutes aussi efficaces les unes que les autres; votre magasin en propose peut-être, sinon, n'hésitez pas à lui demander conseil, et pensez surtout à bien respecter les consignes d'entretien sur l'étiquette et sur le nuancier; retrouvez d'autres conseils supplémentaires ici. Bon tricot!
12.12.2022 kl. 09:07Beste al beginnende breister zie ik in de informatie niet hoeveel bollen wol ik van beide garen moet aankopen nog met welke breinaaldnummer ik dat zou moeten breien kan u me concreet informatie geven zodat ik een bestelling kan plaatsen alvast bedankt mvg Caroline Daems

Dag Caroline,
Bovenaan het patroon staat aangegeven welke materialen je nodig hebt. De reeks getallen correspondeert met de maten, dus het eerste getal geldt voor maat S, het tweede getal voor maat M, enzovoorts. De hoeveelheid garen wordt in grammen aangegeven. Meestal is 1 bol 50 gram. Bij de materialen staat ook aangegeven welke pendikte je nodig hebt. (LET OP: maak altijd een proeflapje en pas eventueel de pendikte aan.)
01.10.2022 kl. 17:37Pourriez vous preciser dans vos modeles si le tricot est en aller retour ou en circulaire. Ici je suppose que les manches se tricotent a plat mais je ne suis pas sure...

Bonjour Mme Lamboley, dans les modèles les plus récents, vous pouvez retrouver sous PETIT APERÇU DE L'OUVRAGE quelques infos sur la construction de l'ouvrage; ici, on tricote toutes les pièces en allers et retours sur aiguille circulaire pour avoir suffisamment de place pour y loger toutes les mailles, vous pouvez ainsi utiliser des aiguilles droites. Retrouvez encore plus d'infos dans cette leçon. Bon tricot!
17.02.2022 kl. 16:14Hi, can I knit this model with 1 strand Fabel and 1 strand Air with needles 8 mm? It will fit the same measures that you have?
14.01.2022 - 20:52DROPS Design answered:
Dear Andreea, you should work with 2 strands of Air, since you need 2 strands of Group C yarns, plus the strand of Fabel. In any case, you should work a swatch to see if the gauge will fit the one needed in the pattern. Happy knitting!
16.01.2022 kl. 21:34Gaat dit patroon er nog komen of hoe zit het volgens jullie zou her er al op staan maar dat is niet zo

Dag Yvonne,
Het patroon is inmiddels geplaatst. Ook in het Nederlands. Veel breiplezier!
02.11.2021 kl. 17:14Why don’t we have instructions in French. I am a québécoise, à French Canadian, Pourquoi au Canada, n’avons nous pas les instructions en français. Si nous voulons acheter nous devons convertir et traduire. Merci de votre aide

Dear Ginette, our translators working continiously to get all the patterns translated as soon as possible, but we are all humans, sometimes a pattern just gets translated a bit later. However, this cardigan is actually available in french, just open the roll down menue below the picture and select the french version. Happy Knitting!
30.10.2021 kl. 21:05Net als Yvonne Smeijsters wacht ik ook op dit patroon, dat inderdaad nog niet op de site staat. Jullie geven aan dat het onder nummer 227-15 op de site staat maar dan klopt dit nummer niet. Graag verduidelijking, is het patroon beschikbaar, zo ja, onder welk nummer, zo nee, wanneer komt het beschikbaar?
13.10.2021 - 15:50De beschrijving staat er nog niet op er kan niets afgedrukt worden
