EXPLANATION FOR THE PATTERN:
----------------------------------------------------------
GARTER STITCH (back and forth):
Knit all rows.
1 ridge vertically = knit 2 rows.
PATTERN:
See diagrams A.1 and A.2. Diagrams show all rows in pattern seen from the right side.
INCREASE TIP-1:
All increases are done from the right side.
Increase by making 1 yarn over after every other purl section. On next row work yarn overs twisted to avoid holes.
INCREASE TIP-2 (applies to sides of body):
All increases are done from the right side.
Work until 2 stitches remain before marker thread, make 1 yarn over, knit 4 (marker thread is in the middle of these 4 stitches), make 1 yarn over (= 2 stitches increased). On next row purl yarn overs twisted to avoid holes. Then work the new stitches in stockinette stitch.
DECREASE/INCREASE TIP (evenly):
To calculate how to increase/decrease evenly, use the total number of stitches on row (e.g. 173 stitches), minus bands (e.g. 10 stitches) , and divide the remaining 163 stitches by number of increases/decreases to be done (e.g. 5) = 32.6.
In this example decrease by knitting alternately approx. every 31st and 32nd stitch and every 32nd and 33rd stitch together, and do not decrease over stitches in garter stitch.
When increasing make in the example 1 yarn over alternately approx. every 32nd and 33rd stitch and do not increase over stitches in garter stitch. On next row purl yarn over twisted to avoid holes.
DECREASE TIP (applies to mid under sleeves):
Decrease 1 stitch on each side of marker thread as follows: Work until 3 stitches remain before marker thread, knit 2 together, knit 2 stitches (marker thread is between these 2 stitches), slip 1 stitch knitwise, knit 1, pass slipped stitch over stitch worked (= 2 stitches decreased).
BUTTONHOLES:
Decrease for buttonholes on right band (when garment is worn). Decrease from right side when 3 stitches remain on row as follows: Make 1 yarn over, knit the next 2 stitches together, knit last stitch. On next row (wrong side) knit the yarn over to make a hole.
Decrease first buttonhole when rib in the neck measures approx. 7½-8 cm = 2 7/8"-3 1/8". Then decrease the next 5-5-5-6-6-6 buttonholes approx. 7½-7½-8-7½-7½-8 cm = 2 7/8"-2 7/8"-3 1/8"-2 7/8"-2 7/8"-3 1/8" apart.
BIND-OFF TIP:
To avoid a tight bind-off edge when binding off, you may use a larger needle. If this still is too tight make 1 yarn over after approx. every 6th stitch while binding off (bind off yarn overs as stitches).

JACKET - SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE:
Work neck edge and yoke back and forth on circular needle from mid front, work top down. Now divide yoke for body and sleeves. Work body back and forth on circular needle until vent. Then work front pieces and back piece back and forth separately. Back piece is 3 cm = 1 1/8" longer than front pieces. Work sleeves in the round on double pointed needles/short circular needle, top down. First work 2 parts for each pocket, work the rest of the pockets after the jacket is finished, and assemble at the end.
POCKETS (first part):
Cast on 28 stitches (including 1 edge stitch in each side) on double pointed needle/circular needle size 4 MM = US 6 with DROPS Sky. Work in stockinette stitch with 1 edge stitch in GARTER STITCH - read explanation above, in each side. REMEMBER THE KNITTING GAUGE! When piece measures 11 cm = 4 3/8", bind off the edge stitches = 26 stitches. Slip stitches on 1 thread. Work another pocket the same way. Put pockets aside and work the neck edge and yokes. Work the second half of the 2 pockets after jacket has been finished, then assemble.
NECK EDGE AND YOKE:
Cast on 119-123-131-135-143-147 stitches (including 5 band stitches in each side) on circular needle size 3 MM = US 2.5 with DROPS Sky.
Purl 1 row from wrong side. Then work rib as follows: Work 5 band stitches in garter stitch, rib (knit 1 twisted/purl 1) until 6 stitches remain on row, knit 1, 5 band stitches in garter stitch. When rib measures 3 cm = 1 1/8", increase every other 1 purl stitch to 2 purl stitches - read INCREASE TIP-1 = 146-151-161-166-176-181 stitches. When piece measures 5 cm = 2", increase the remaining 1 purl stitches to 2 purl stitches = 173-179-191-197-209-215 stitches. Remember BUTTONHOLES on right band - read explanation above. When rib measures 8 cm = 3 1/8", work in the different sizes as follows:
SIZE XS:
Knit 1 row from right side while decreasing 5 stitches evenly – read DECREASE/INCREASE TIP = 168 stitches.
SIZE S, M, L, XL AND XXL:
Knit 1 row from right side while increasing 1-9-11-17-29 stitches evenly - read DECREASE/INCREASE TIP = 180-200-208-226-244 stitches.
ALL SIZES:
Insert a marker inside band in one side of piece. NOW MEASURE PIECE FROM HERE!
Switch to circular needle size 4 MM = US 6. Work in stockinette stitch with 5 band stitches in garter stitch in each side.
When piece measures 4 cm = 1 1/2" from marker, work pattern as follows:
Work 5 band stitches in garter stitch, knit 2-0-3-2-3-2, work A.1 until 6-5-7-6-8-7 stitches remain (= 31-34-37-39-42-46 repetitions of 5 stitches), knit 1-0-2-1-3-2, 5 band stitches in garter stitch.
When A.1 has been worked vertically, there are 230-248-274-286-310-336 stitches on needle.
Continue back and forth in stockinette stitch with 5 band stitches in garter stitch in each side.
When piece measures 9-9-10-11-12-13 cm = 3 1/2"-3 1/2"-4"-4 3/8"-4 3/4"-5 1/8" from marker, work pattern as follows:
Work 5 band stitches in garter stitch, knit 2-0-3-2-3-2, work A.2 until 6-5-7-6-8-7 stitches remain (= 31-34-37-39-42-46 repetitions of 7 stitches), knit 1-0-2-1-3-2, 5 band stitches in garter stitch. When A.2 has been worked vertically, there are 292-316-348-364-394-428 stitches on needle.
Then work in stockinette stitch and band stitches in garter stitch until piece measures 13-13-15-16-18-20 cm = 5 1/8"-5 1/8"-6"-6 1/4"-7"-8" from marker.
Now divide piece for body and sleeves as follows:
Work the first 45-48-52-55-61-67 stitches (= front piece), slip the next 60-66-74-76-80-84 stitches on a thread for sleeve, cast on 8-10-10-12-12-12 new stitches on needle (= in the side under sleeve), work the next 82-88-96-102-112-126 stitches (= back piece), slip the next 60-66-74-76-80-84 stitches on a thread for sleeve, cast on 8-10-10-12-12-12 new stitches on needle (= in the side under sleeve), work the last 45-48-52-55-61-67 stitches (= front piece).
Finish body and sleeves separately. NOW MEASURE THE PIECE FROM HERE!
BODY:
= 188-204-220-236-258-284 stitches. Work in stockinette stitch with 5 band stitches in garter stitch in each side towards mid front. Insert 2 marker threads in piece in the middle of the new stitches cast-on in the side under the sleeves (= 4-5-5-6-6-6 new stitches on each side of both marker threads). Move marker threads upwards when working. Use them later when increasing.
When piece measures 4 cm = 1 1/2" from division, increase 1 stitch on each side of marker threads - read INCREASE TIP-2. Repeat increase when piece measures 16 cm = 6 1/4" = 196-212-228-244-266-292 stitches. Work until piece measures 17-19-19-20-20-20 cm = 6 3/4"-7 1/2"-7 1/2"-8"-8"-8" from division.
Now make an opening for pockets and work next row as follows from right side: Work the first 17-18-19-20-21-22 stitches as before, slip the next 26 stitches on 1 thread (work the second half of pocket here later), work the 26 stitches from thread on one pocket (make sure to continue from right side of pocket), work until 43-44-45-46-47-48 stitches remain on needle, slip the next 26 stitches on 1 thread (work the other half of pocket here later), work the 26 stitches from thread on the other pocket (make sure to continue from right side of pocket), and work the last 17-18-19-20-21-22 stitches on needle as before.
Continue to work until piece measures 21-23-23-24-24-24 cm = 8 1/4"-9"-9"-9 1/2"-9 1/2"-9 1/2". Now work 4 stitches in garter stitch at both marker threads - i.e. 2 stitches in garter stitch on each side of both marker threads. When 2 ridges have been worked over 4 stitches in each side, divide the piece for back piece and front pieces so that there are 94-102-110-118-128-142 stitches for back piece and 51-55-59-63-69-75 stitches for each front piece. Finish each part separately.
BACK PIECE:
Continue back and forth with stockinette stitches and 2 stitches in garter stitch in each side until vent measures 6 cm = 2 3/8". Knit 1 row from right side while increasing 15-17-19-19-21-23 stitches evenly (but not over stitches in garter stitch) 109-119-129-137-149-165 stitches.
Switch to circular needle size 3 MM = US 2.5. Purl 1 row (work stitches in garter stitch as before).
Now work rib back and forth as follows:
ROW 1 (= right side): Work 2 stitches in garter stitch, * knit 1 twisted, purl 1 *, work from *-* until 3 stitches remain, knit 1 twisted, 2 stitches in garter stitch.
ROW 2 (= wrong side): Work 2 stitches in garter stitch, * purl 1 twisted, knit 1 *, repeat from *-* until 3 stitches remain, purl 1 twisted, 2 stitches in garter stitch.
Continue back and forth like this until rib measures 8 cm = 3 1/8". Now bind off with knit over twisted knit and purl over purl and garter stitch over garter stitch, read BIND-OFF TIP. Jacket measures approx. 60-62-64-66-68-70 cm = 23 5/8"-24 3/8"-25 1/4"-26"-26 3/4"-27 1/2" from shoulder and down.
RIGHT FRONT PIECE:
Continue back and forth with 5 band stitches in garter stitch, 2 stitches in garter stitch towards the side and stockinette stitch over the remaining stitches. When vent measures 6 cm = 2 3/8", knit 1 row from right side while increasing 7-7-9-9-9-11 stitches evenly (but not over stitches in garter stitch) 58-62-68-72-78-86 stitches.
Switch to circular needle size 3 MM = US 2.5. Purl 1 row (work stitches in garter stitch as before).
Now work rib back and forth as follows:
ROW 1 (= right side): Work 5 band stitches in garter stitch, * knit 1 twisted, purl 1 *, work from *-* until 3 stitches remain, knit 1 twisted, 2 stitches in garter stitch.
ROW 2 (= wrong side): Work 2 stitches in garter stitch, * purl 1 twisted, knit 1 *, repeat from *-* until 6 stitches remain, purl 1 twisted, 5 band stitches in garter stitch.
Continue back and forth like this. When rib measures 5 cm = 2", bind off with knit over twisted knit and purl over purl and garter stitch over garter stitch - remember BIND-OFF TIP. Jacket measures approx. 57-59-61-63-65-67 cm = 22 1/2"-23 1/4"-24"-24 3/4"-25 1/2"-26 3/8" from shoulder and down.
LEFT FRONT PIECE:
Work the same way as on right front piece.
SLEEVES:
Slip the stitches 60-66-74-76-80-84 stitches from thread in one side of piece on double pointed needles/a short circular needle size 4 MM = US 6 and pick in addition up 1 stitch in each of the 8-10-10-12-12-12 new stitches cast on under sleeve = 68-76-84-88-92-96 stitches.
Insert a marker thread in the middle of the new stitches (= 4-5-5-6-6-6 new stitches on each side of marker thread). Move marker thread upwards when working. Use it later when decreasing under sleeve. Work in stockinette stitch in the round.
When piece measures 2 cm = 3/4" from division, decrease under sleeve - read DECREASE TIP.
Decrease like this approx. every 2½-1½-1-1-1-1 cm = 1"-1/2"-3/8"-3/8"-3/8"-3/8" 5-8-8-8-8-7 times in total = 58-60-68-72-76-82 stitches. Continue until sleeve measures 13-14-12-11-10-8 cm = 5 1/8"-5 1/2"-4 3/4"-4 3/8"-4"-3 1/8" (shorter measurements in the larger sizes because of wider neck and longer yoke). Try the jacket and work to desired length. 4 cm = 1 1/2" remain until finished measurements.
Knit 1 round while increasing 4-4-4-6-6-6 stitches evenly = 62-64-72-78-82-88 stitches.
Switch to double pointed needles size 3 MM = US 2.5. Work rib (= knit 1 twisted/purl 1) for 4 cm = 1 1/2". Bind off with knit over knit and purl over purl - remember BIND-OFF TIP. Sleeve measures 17-18-16-15-14-12 cm = 6 3/4"-7"-6 1/4"-6"-5 1/2"-4 3/4" in total from division. Work the other sleeve the same way.
POCKETS (second part):
Work back and forth on circular needle.
Slip the 26 stitches from thread on right front piece on circular needle size 4 MM = US 6. On first row cast on 1 edge stitch in each side = 28 stitches. Work in stockinette stitch with 1 edge stitch in garter stitch in each side until piece measures 11 cm = 4 3/8", loosely bind off. Work pocket on left front piece the same way. Sew pockets inside 1 edge stitch around the entire pocket. Then fasten pockets on the inside of jacket with a small stitch in each of the 2 bottom corners (should not be visible on right side of jacket).
ASSEMBLY:
Sew the buttons on to left band.

When 2 ridges have been worked over 4 stitches in each side, divide the piece for back piece and front pieces so that there are 94-102-110-118-128-142 stitches for back piece and 51-55-59-63-69-75 stitches for each front piece. Finish each part separately.
BACK PIECE:
Continue back and forth with stockinette stitches and 2 stitches in garter stitch in each side until vent measures 6 cm = 2 3/8". Knit 1 row from right side while increasing 15-17-19-19-21-23 stitches evenly (but not over stitches in garter stitch) 109-119-129-137-149-165 stitches.
Switch to circular needle size 3 MM = US 2.5. Purl 1 row (work stitches in garter stitch as before).
Now work rib back and forth as follows:
ROW 1 (= right side): Work 2 stitches in garter stitch, * knit 1 twisted, purl 1 *, work from *-* until 3 stitches remain, knit 1 twisted, 2 stitches in garter stitch.
ROW 2 (= wrong side): Work 2 stitches in garter stitch, * purl 1 twisted, knit 1 *, repeat from *-* until 3 stitches remain, purl 1 twisted, 2 stitches in garter stitch.
Continue back and forth like this until rib measures 8 cm = 3 1/8". Now bind off with knit over twisted knit and purl over purl and garter stitch over garter stitch, read BIND-OFF TIP. Jacket measures approx. 60-62-64-66-68-70 cm = 23 5/8"-24 3/8"-25 1/4"-26"-26 3/4"-27 1/2" from shoulder and down.
RIGHT FRONT PIECE:
Continue back and forth with 5 band stitches in garter stitch, 2 stitches in garter stitch towards the side and stockinette stitch over the remaining stitches. When vent measures 6 cm = 2 3/8", knit 1 row from right side while increasing 7-7-9-9-9-11 stitches evenly (but not over stitches in garter stitch) 58-62-68-72-78-86 stitches.
Switch to circular needle size 3 MM = US 2.5. Purl 1 row (work stitches in garter stitch as before).
Now work rib back and forth as follows:
ROW 1 (= right side): Work 5 band stitches in garter stitch, * knit 1 twisted, purl 1 *, work from *-* until 3 stitches remain, knit 1 twisted, 2 stitches in garter stitch.
ROW 2 (= wrong side): Work 2 stitches in garter stitch, * purl 1 twisted, knit 1 *, repeat from *-* until 6 stitches remain, purl 1 twisted, 5 band stitches in garter stitch.
Continue back and forth like this. When rib measures 5 cm = 2", bind off with knit over twisted knit and purl over purl and garter stitch over garter stitch - remember BIND-OFF TIP. Jacket measures approx. 57-59-61-63-65-67 cm = 22 1/2"-23 1/4"-24"-24 3/4"-25 1/2"-26 3/8" from shoulder and down.
LEFT FRONT PIECE:
Work the same way as on right front piece.
SLEEVES:
Slip the stitches 60-66-74-76-80-84 stitches from thread in one side of piece on double pointed needles/a short circular needle size 4 MM = US 6 and pick in addition up 1 stitch in each of the 8-10-10-12-12-12 new stitches cast on under sleeve = 68-76-84-88-92-96 stitches.
Insert a marker thread in the middle of the new stitches (= 4-5-5-6-6-6 new stitches on each side of marker thread). Move marker thread upwards when working. Use it later when decreasing under sleeve. Work in stockinette stitch in the round.
When piece measures 2 cm = 3/4" from division, decrease under sleeve - read DECREASE TIP.
Decrease like this approx. every 2½-1½-1-1-1-1 cm = 1"-1/2"-3/8"-3/8"-3/8"-3/8" 5-8-8-8-8-7 times in total = 58-60-68-72-76-82 stitches. Continue until sleeve measures 13-14-12-11-10-8 cm = 5 1/8"-5 1/2"-4 3/4"-4 3/8"-4"-3 1/8" (shorter measurements in the larger sizes because of wider neck and longer yoke). Try the jacket and work to desired length. 4 cm = 1 1/2" remain until finished measurements.
Knit 1 round while increasing 4-4-4-6-6-6 stitches evenly = 62-64-72-78-82-88 stitches.
Switch to double pointed needles size 3 MM = US 2.5. Work rib (= knit 1 twisted/purl 1) for 4 cm = 1 1/2". Bind off with knit over knit and purl over purl - remember BIND-OFF TIP. Sleeve measures 17-18-16-15-14-12 cm = 6 3/4"-7"-6 1/4"-6"-5 1/2"-4 3/4" in total from division. Work the other sleeve the same way.
POCKETS (second part):
Work back and forth on circular needle.
Slip the 26 stitches from thread on right front piece on circular needle size 4 MM = US 6. On first row cast on 1 edge stitch in each side = 28 stitches. Work in stockinette stitch with 1 edge stitch in garter stitch in each side until piece measures 11 cm = 4 3/8", loosely bind off. Work pocket on left front piece the same way. Sew pockets inside 1 edge stitch around the entire pocket. Then fasten pockets on the inside of jacket with a small stitch in each of the 2 bottom corners (should not be visible on right side of jacket).
ASSEMBLY:
Sew the buttons on to left band.

= knit from the right side, purl from the wrong side |
|
= knit 1 without dropping stitch off the needle, make 1 yarn over, knit 1 in same stitch but in back loop and then slip stitch off left needle. On next row purl yarn overs twisted to avoid holes (= 2 stitches increased) |
|
= Back piece is 3 cm = 1 1/8" longer than front pieces. I.e. total length on back piece is 60-62-64-66-68-70 cm = 23 5/8"-24 3/8"-25 1/4"-26"-26 3/4"-27 1/2", and rib at the bottom is 8 cm = 3 1/8" on back piece. |
