---------------------------------------------------------- EXPLANATION FOR THE PATTERN: ---------------------------------------------------------- PATTERN: See diagrams A.1 and A.2. Diagrams show all rows in pattern seen from the right side. INCREASE TIP: Work until 2 stitches remain before marker thread, make 1 yarn over, knit 4 (marker thread is in the middle of these 2 stitches), make 1 yarn over. On next round purl yarn overs twisted to avoid holes = 2 stitches increased. Then purl the new stitches. ---------------------------------------------------------- START THE PIECE HERE: ---------------------------------------------------------- SWEATER - SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE: Piece is worked in the round on circular needle, from the bottom and up to armholes, then divide the piece and finish front piece and back piece separately. Work sleeves in the round on a short circular needle/double pointed needles, bottom up. BODY: Cast on 112-120-128-136-144-152 stitches on circular needle size 6 MM = US 10 with 2 strands DROPS Brushed Alpaca Silk or 1 strand DROPS Wish. Knit 1 round, then work rib as follows: SIZE S-L-XXL: Knit 1, * purl 2, knit 2 *, work from *-* until 3 stitches remain, purl 2 and knit 1. SIZE M-XL-XXXL: Purl 1, * knit 2, purl 2 *, work from *-* until 3 stitches remain, knit 2 and purl 1. Continue with rib until piece measures 6 cm = 2⅜", switch to circular needle size 8 MM = US 11. Continue as follows: Purl the first 7-9-11-13-15-17 stitches, at the same time decrease 1 stitch over these stitches, A.1 (= 10 stitches that are increased to 15 stitches), purl 6, A.1, purl 6, A.1, purl the next 14-18-22-26-30-34 stitches, at the same time decrease 2 stitches over these stitches, A.1, purl 6, A.1, purl 6, A.1, purl the last 7-9-11-13-15-17 stitches, at the same time decrease 1 stitch over these stitches. When A.1 has been worked 1 time vertically, there are 138-146-154-162-170-178 stitches on needle. Continue with A.2 (= 15 stitches) over every A.1, work the remaining stitches as before. Continue pattern like this. REMEMBER THE KNITTING GAUGE! When piece measures 30-31-32-33-34-35 cm = 11¾"-12¼"-12½"-13"-13⅜"-13¾", divide the piece for front piece and back piece. Work next round as follows: Bind off the first 2 stitches on round for armhole, work 65-69-73-77-81-85 stitches (= front piece), bind off 4 stitches for armhole, work 65-69-73-77-81-85, bind off the last 2 stitches on needle for armhole. Cut the yarn. Each part is worked separately back and forth on needle. Slip the first 65-69-73-77-81-85 stitches on a stitch holder, and then work over the 65-69-73-77-81-85 stitches on back piece. BACK PIECE: = 65-69-73-77-81-85 stitches. Work as follows - from right side: Purl 4-6-8-10-12-14, A.2, purl 6, A.2, purl 6, A.2, purl 4-6-8-10-12-14. When piece measures 49-51-53-55-57-59 cm = 19¼"-20"-21"-21⅝"-22½"-23¼", decrease 5 stitches over middle repetition of A.2, on next row bind off the middle 14-16-18-20-22-24 stitches for neck, and finish each shoulder separately. Then bind off 1 stitch on next row from neck = 22-23-24-25-26-27 stitches. Work the stitches in A.2 in stockinette stitch, decrease at the same time 5 stitches evenly over these stitches = 17-18-19-20-21-22 stitches. Bind off when piece measures 52-54-56-58-60-62 cm = 20½"-21¼"-22"-22¾"-23⅝"-24⅜" (= 22-23-24-25-26-27 cm = 8¾"-9"-9½"-9¾"-10¼"-10⅝" from division for armholes). Work the other shoulder the same way. FRONT PIECE: = 65-69-73-77-81-85 stitches. Work as follows - from right side: Purl 4-6-8-10-12-14, A.2, purl 6, A.2, purl 6, A.2, purl 4-6-8-10-12-14. When piece measures 46-48-50-52-54-56 cm = 18"-19"-19¾"-20½"-21¼"-22", decrease 5 stitches over the middle repetition of A.2, on next row slip the middle 8-10-12-14-16-18 stitches on a stitch holder for neck, and finish each shoulder separately. Then bind off stitches on every row from neck as follows: Bind off 2 stitches 1 time and 1 stitch 2 times = 22-23-24-25-26-27 stitches. Work the stitches in A.2 in stockinette stitch, decrease at the same time 5 stitches evenly over these stitches. Bind off when piece measures 52-54-56-58-60-62 cm = 20½"-21¼"-22"-22¾"-23⅝"-24⅜" (= 22-23-24-25-26-27 cm = 8¾"-9"-9½"-9¾"-10¼"-10⅝" from division for armholes). Work the other shoulder the same way. SLEEVE: Work sleeves in the round on double pointed needles/a short circular needle bottom up. Cast on 32-32-36-36-40-40 stitches on double pointed needles size 6 MM = US 10 with 2 strands Brushed Alpaca Silk or 1 strand DROPS Wish. Knit 1 round, then work rib as follows: SIZE S-M-XXL-XXXL: Knit 1, * purl 2, knit 2 *, work from *-* over the next 30-30-38-38 stitches, finish with knit 1. SIZE L-XL: Purl 1, * knit 2, purl 2 *, work from *-* over the next 34-34 stitches, finish with purl 1. Work rib for 6 cm = 2⅜", switch double pointed needles size 8 MM = US 11. Work next round as follows: Purl the first 11-11-13-13-15-15 stitches, at the same time increase 3-4-3-4-3-4 stitches evenly over these stitches, A.1, purl the last 11-11-13-13-15-15 stitches, at the same time increase 3-4-3-4-3-4 stitches evenly over these stitches. When A.1 has been worked 1 time vertically and the increases have been done evenly, there are 43-45-47-49-51-53 stitches on needle. Continue with A.2 over stitches in A.1 and purl as before. Insert a marker thread at beginning of round = mid under sleeve. When piece measures 8 cm = 3⅛", increase 1 stitch on each side of marker thread - read INCREASE TIP. Increase every 9-9-9-8-8-8 cm = 3½"-3½"-3½"-3⅛"-3⅛"-3⅛" 5 times in total in every size = 53-55-57-59-61-63 stitches. When sleeve measures 49-48-47-46-45-44 cm = 19¼"-19"-18½"-18"-17¾"-17¼", work sleeve cap back and forth (from mid under sleeve) on circular needle until finished measurements. When piece measures 50-49-48-47-46-45 cm = 19¾"-19¼"-19"-18½"-18"-17¾", decrease 5 stitches evenly over stitches in A.2. Work until sleeve measures approx. 51-50-49-48-47-46 cm = 20"-19¾"-19¼"-19"-18½"-18", i.e. there is a vent of 2 cm = ¾" at the top of sleeve. Work another sleeve the same way. ASSEMBLY: Sew the shoulder seams. Sew sleeve cap to armhole. Then sew vent at the top of sleeve to bottom of armhole - see chart. NECK EDGE: Begin from right side at one shoulder seam and pick up approx. 44-60 stitches around the neck, including stitches from stitch holder at the front (number of stitches should be divisible by 4) on a short circular needle size 6 MM = US 10 with 2 strands Brushed Alpaca Silk or 1 strand DROPS Wish. Work rib (= knit 2/purl 2) for 12 cm = 4¾". Bind off stitches with knit over knit and purl over purl. Fold rib at the top of neck down on inside of garment. Fasten rib to get a double neck edge. To avoid a tight neck edge that sticks out it is important to keep the seam elastic. |

Come mai del filato DROPS WISH ne serve il doppio rispetto all'altro che va messo doppio come filo? mi sarei aspettata il contrario, sbaglio? grazie mille

Buonasera Marta, la quantità di filato necessaria per un modello si calcola sul metraggio, non sul peso di un filato. Ogni gomitolo di Brushed Alpaca Silk è lungo 140 m e ogni gomitolo di Wish è 70 m: ecco spiegata la differenza. Buon lavoro!
