EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN:
-------------------------------------------------------
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. 72 stitches) minus bands (e.g. 10 stitches) and divide the remaining stitches by the number of increases to be made (e.g. 3) = 20.6.
In this example, increase by making 1 yarn over after approx. each 21st stitch. Do not increase the bands. On the next row work the yarn overs twisted to avoid holes.
PATTERN:
See diagram A.1. The diagram shows all rows in the pattern from the right side.
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 (wrong side), knit the yarn over to leave a hole.
The first buttonhole is worked when the rib on the neck measures approx. 1½-2 cm = 1/2"-3/4". Then work the other 5-5-5-5-6-6 buttonholes with approx. 6-6½-7-8-7½-7½ cm = 2 3/8"-2 1/2"-2 3/4"-3 1/8"-2 7/8"-2 7/8" between each one.
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.
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.

When A.1 has been completed you have increased 50-54-58-58-62-62 stitches = 187-200-215-215-228-228 stitches. Continue with stockinette stitch and garter stitch until the piece measures 15-15-16-17-18-19 cm = 6"-6"-6 1/4"-6 3/4"-7"-7 1/2", on the last row adjust the number of stitches to 186-198-206-210-222-230 stitches.
The next row is worked as follows from the wrong side: Work 31-33-34-35-37-38 stitches as before (= front piece), place the next 36-38-40-40-42-44 stitches on a thread for the sleeve, cast on 6-6-6-8-8-8 stitches under the sleeve, work 52-56-58-60-64-66 stitches (= back piece), place the next 36-38-40-40-42-44 stitches on a thread for the sleeve, cast on 6-6-6-8-8-8 stitches under the sleeve, work the last 31-33-34-35-37-38 stitches (= front piece).

Måske er det bare mig, men jeg kan ikke finde A1 diagrammet eller er det mig der læser denne opskrift forkert?
11.08.2022 - 17:25Hallo, ich habe in meinem wolleknäuel schon 6 knoten. Kann man die knoten in der Wolle lassen oder lösen sie sich beim waschen oder im laufe der Zeit auf? Danke für Ihre Antwort

Liebe Erika, je nach dem Knoten können Sie entweder so lassen (nur bei der Rückseite stellen) oder Faden abschneiden und wie ein neues Knäuel verbinden. Ihr DROPS Laden hat sicher noch Tipps für Sie und wird gerne Ihnen auch telefonisch oder per E-Mail helfen. Viel Spaß beim stricken!
