EXPLANATION FOR THE PATTERN:
----------------------------------------------------------
PATTERN:
See diagrams A.1 to A.7.
RAGLAN:
Increase before/after stitch with marker. Increase 1 stitch by making 1 yarn over. On next round knit yarn over twisted to avoid holes.
DECREASE TIP (applies to sleeves):
Decrease 1 stitch on each side of marker thread as follows: Work until 3 stitches remain before marker thread and knit 2 together, knit 2 (marker thread is between these 2 stitches), slip 1 stitch knitwise, knit 1, pass slipped stitch over stitch worked.
----------------------------------------------------------
START THE PIECE HERE:
----------------------------------------------------------
SWEATER - SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE:
Work yoke in the round on circular needle from right shoulder at the back, top down. Now divide yoke for body and sleeves. Work the body in the round on circular needle. Work sleeves in the round on double pointed needles/a short circular needle.
YOKE:
Cast on 120-120-120-140-140-140 stitches on a short circular needle size 2.5 MM = US 1.5 with DROPS Alpaca. Knit 1 round.
Work next round as follows: A.1 (insert 1 marker in first stitch), A.2, A.3 (insert 1 marker in last stitch – stitches between these 2 stitches belong to right sleeve), A.4, work A.2 3-3-3-4-4-4 times in total, A.5 (these stitches belong to front piece), A.1 (insert 1 marker in first stitch), A.2, A.3 (insert 1 marker in last stitch – stitches between these 2 markers belong to left sleeve), A.4, work A.2 3-3-3-4-4-4 times in total, A.5 (these stitches belong to back piece).
Continue pattern like this - the 4 stitches with markers mark the raglan lines.
When 2 rounds have been worked, switch to a short circular needle size 3 MM = US 2.5, then continue pattern as before - REMEMBER THE KNITTING GAUGE!
When A.1 to A.5 have been worked vertically, there are 192-192-192-208-208-208 stitches on needle.
Then work in stockinette stitch in the round over all stitches - knit in addition A.6 in the middle of each sleeve - stitch with star in A.6 should fit stitch with star in A.2.
AT THE SAME TIME on next round increase for RAGLAN – see explanation above. Increase 1 stitch on each side of 4 stitches with markers (8 stitches increased– NOTE: Increase before first marker must be done at the end of round).
Increase for raglan every other round 16-20-24-27-30-35 times in total.
After last increase for raglan there are 320-352-384-424-448-488 stitches on needle and piece measures approx. 18-21-23-25-27-30 cm = 7"-8 1/4"-9"-9 3/4"-10 5/8"-11 3/4" from cast-on edge. If piece is shorter than this, continue without increases until correct measurements.
On next round divide piece for body and sleeves as follows: Work 2-4-3-2-4-7 stitches in stockinette stitch, slip the next 69-73-83-91-93-97 stitches on a thread for sleeve, cast on 8-8-10-10-12-12 new stitches on row (in the side under sleeve), work 91-103-109-121-131-147 stitches in stockinette stitch, slip the next 69-73-83-91-93-97 stitches on a thread for sleeve, cast on 8-8-10-10-12-12 new stitches on row (in the side under sleeve) and work the remaining 89-99-106-119-127-140 stitches in stockinette stitch. Finish body and sleeves separately.
BODY:
= 198-222-238-262-286-318 stitches. Work in stockinette stitch over stitches on back piece until the middle of the 8-8-10-10-12-12 stitches that were cast on under sleeves - round begins here. Work in stockinette stitch in the round.
When piece measures 22-21-21-21-21-20 cm = 8 3/4"-8 1/4"-8 1/4"-8 1/4"-8 1/4"-8" from division, knit 1 round while increasing 20-22-24-26-28-32 stitches evenly = 218-244-262-288-314-350 stitches.
Switch to circular needle size 2.5 MM = US 1.5. Work rib knit 1 twisted/purl 1 for 3 cm = 1 1/8". Loosely bind off. Sweater measures approx. 48-50-52-54-56-58 cm = 19"-19 3/4"-20 1/2"-21 1/4"-22"-22 3/4" from shoulder and down.
SLEEVE:
Slip the 69-73-83-91-93-97 stitches from thread in one side of piece on double pointed needles or a short circular needle size 3 MM = US 2.5 and pick in addition up 1 stitch in each of the 8-8-10-10-12-12 new stitches cast on under sleeve = 77-81-93-101-105-109 stitches.
Insert 1 marker thread in the middle of the 8-8-10-10-12-12 stitches that were cast on under sleeves. Move marker thread upwards when working.
Begin round at the marker thread and work stockinette stitch in the round, but continue A.6 mid on top of sleeve as before.
When sleeve measures 2-2-2-3-3-1 cm = 3/4"-3/4"-3/4"-1 1/8"-1 1/8"-3/8" from division, decrease 2 stitches mid under sleeve - read DECREASE TIP. Decrease like this every 3½-2½-1½-1-1-1 cm = 1 1/4"-1"-1/2"-3/8"-3/8"-3/8" 6-8-10-14-12-14 times in total = 65-65-73-73-81-81 stitches.
Work until sleeve measures 24-22-21-19-17-15 cm = 9 1/2"-8 3/4"-8 1/4"-7 1/2"-6 3/4"-6" from division. Approx. 9 cm = 3 1/2" remain until finished measurements, try the sweater on and work to desired length
Knit 1 round while decreasing 1 stitch under sleeve (on right sleeve knit the last 2 stitches on round twisted together, on left sleeve knit the first 2 stitches on round together) = 64-64-72-72-80-80 stitches. Work A.7 8-8-9-9-10-10 times in total around the sleeve - A.7 should fit nicely over A.6 mid on top of sleeve.
When A.7 has been worked, switch to double pointed needles size 2.5 MM = US 1.5.
Continue rib over stitches in A.7 with knit 1 twisted, purl 1.
When rib measures 1 cm = 3/8" (measured after A.7), increase every fourth purl 1 to purl 2 (i.e. increase every 8th stitch to purl 2) = 72-72-81-81-90-90 stitches. When rib measures 2 cm = 3/4", increase the same way but displace to avoid increasing over previous increases = 80-80-90-90-100-100 stitches. When rib measures 3½ cm = 1 1/4", increase the same way and displace to next 1 purl = 88-88-99-99-110-110 stitches, and when rib measures 5 cm = 2", increase the remaining 1 purl to 2 purl = 96-96-108-108-120-120 stitches.
Bind off somewhat loosely when rib measures 6 cm = 2 3/8". Sleeve measures approx. 33-31-30-28-26-24 cm = 13"-12 1/4"-11 3/4"-11"-10 1/4"-9 1/2" from division.
Work the other sleeve the same way.

Undskyld. Jeg troede ikke den første besked var gået igennem. Tak for hurtig respons og god weekend 🧶😊☀️
22.04.2022 - 14:13Hej igen. Det ser ud til at der er forskel i den danske og engelske opskrift. Den sorte markering i den engelske siger at masken ikkecskal strikkes. I den danske står der at der skal slåes en maske op??? Mvh Charlotte

Hej igenigen :) Det er blevet rettet :)
22.04.2022 kl. 13:55Hej. Der er forskel i den dansk og den engelske udgave. Den sorte markering står i den engelske som om man ikke skal strikke den. I den danske står der at man skal lave et opslag og strikke det drejet på næste omgang. Så der ikke kommer hul ???

Hej Charlotte, tak for information, det er rettet :)
22.04.2022 kl. 12:37Hej. \r\nJeg har strikket mønsterdelen på bærestykket og har nu 236 m. I opskriften står der at jeg skal have 208???\r\nJeg har taget 12x8 m ud i raglanen =96 m + de 140 m fra start = 236 m. Hvad har jeg overset i opskriften?\r\nMvh Charlotte Lützen

Hej Charlotte, har du trukket maskerne fra som er taget ind ifølge diagram A.2, A.3 og A.5? I A.2 har du 8 masker istedet for 10 masker. Og i A.3 og A.5 har du taget 2 masker ind i hvert diagram :)
22.04.2022 kl. 10:31Hej, prøv liiige at tjekke tjekke tallene, når diagrammerne A1-A5 er strikket i højden giver det 206 og ikke 208, der bliver taget 8 masker ind på hver 2. omgang og det kan aldrig give 208 men 206, ellers en fin opskrift PS også de andre tal i,op Mvh Hanne
