Garter st back and forth on needle: K all rows.
Garter st in the round: K 1 round, P 1 round.
Pattern: See diagram M.1 and M.2. Diagram shows the pattern from the RS.
Knitting tip: If your knitting gauge is too tight, the raglan will be too short and the armhole to small. You may compensate for this by working 1 extra row without dec at regular intervals between dec.
Decreasing tip, applies to raglan: Make all dec from the RS as follows: Beg 2 sts before Marking Thread (MT), K2 tog, MT, slip 1 st as if to K, K1, psso.
Buttonholes: Bind off for buttonholes on right front piece. 1 buttonhole = bind off 4th st from mid front and cast on 1 new st on return row. Bind off for buttonholes when piece measures:
Size S: 16, 23, 30, 37, 44 and 52 cm [6¼”, 9”, 11¾”, 14½”, 17¼” and 20½”].
Size M: 16, 23, 30, 38, 46 and 54 cm [6¼”, 9”, 11¾”, 15”, 18” and 21¼”]
Size L: 16, 24, 32, 40, 48 and 56 cm [6¼”, 9½”, 12½”, 15 ¾”, 19” and 22”].
Size XL: 16, 23, 30, 37, 44, 51 and 58 cm [6¼”, 9”, 11¾”, 14½”, 17¼”, 20” and 22¾”].
Size XXL: 16, 23, 30, 37, 44, 52 and 59 cm [6¼”, 9”, 11¾”, 14½”, 17¼”, 20½” and 23¼”].

BODY PIECE
Worked back and forth on circular needle from mid front. Cast on 220-228-244-260-276-292 sts (includes 8 front band sts each side) on circular needle size 5 mm [US 8] with Alaska. P 1 row from WS and continue as follows: 8 garter sts (front band), rib, K4/P4, on the next 200-208-224-240-256-272 sts, finish with K4 and 8 garter sts (front band). When piece measures 4 cm [1½’’] change to circular needle size 5.5 mm [US 9] and continue as follows from RS: 8 garter sts, 6-6-6-6-14-14 sts in reverse stockinette st, M.1 (= 24 sts), 40-40-48-56-56-64 sts in reverse stockinette st, M.1, 16-24-24-24-24-24 sts in reverse stockinette st, M.1, 40-40-48-56-56-64 sts in reverse stockinette st, M.1, 6-6-6-6-14-14 sts in reverse stockinette st, and finish with 8 garter sts. Note: 4 K sts in M.1 should sit over K4 from rib. Insert 2 Marking Threads (MT) in piece, 59-61-65-69-73-77 sts in from each side (back piece = 102-106-114-122-130-138 sts). Continue in pattern. Remember the knitting gauge! When piece measures 8 cm [3 1/8’’] dec 1 st on each side of both MT (= 4 dec per row) on every 2 cm [3/4’’] a total of 11 times = 176-184-200-216-232-248 sts. Remember to bind off for buttonholes – see above. After 4 vertical repeats of M.1 (piece measures approx 36 cm [14 ¼”]), work 1 vertical repeat of M.2 over M.1, continue in reverse stockinette st on remaining sts = 152-160-176-192-208-224 sts. On next row change to needle size 5 mm [US 8] and now complete piece in garter st – see above. When piece measures 42-43-44-45-46-47 cm [16½’’-17’’-17¼’’-17¾’’-18’’-18½’’] bind off 8 sts each side for armhole (i.e. 4 sts on each side of both MT) = 136-144-160-176-192-208 sts. Put piece aside.
SLEEVE
Worked in the round on double pointed needles. Cast on 40-40-40-48-48-48 sts on double pointed needles size 5 mm [US 8] with Alaska. Work 4 cm [1½’’] rib, P4/K4. Change to double pointed needles size 5.5 mm [US 9] and work next round as follows: 10-10-10-18-18-18 sts in reverse stockinette st, M.1 (= 24 sts) and finish with 6-6-6-6-6-6 sts in reverse stockinette st. Note: 4 K sts in M.1 should sit over K4 from rib. On next round inc 2-4-6-0-2-4 sts evenly = 42-44-46-48-50-52 sts, do not inc on M.1. Insert 1 MT in piece 9-10-11-12-13-14 sts after M.1 = mid under sleeve. Continue in M.1 and reverse stockinette st. When piece measures 8 cm [3 1/8’’] inc 1 st on each side of MT on every 9.5-7.5-7.5-6-5-5 cm [3¾”-2 7/8”-2 7/8”-2 3/8”-2”-2”] a total of 5-6-6-7-8-8 times. After 5 vertical repeats of M.1 (piece measures approx 44 cm [17 1/4’’]), work 1 vertical repeat of M.2 over M.1, continue in reverse stockinette st on remaining sts. Change to needle size 5 mm [US 8] and complete piece in garter st. After all dec and inc are complete there are 46-50-52-56-60-62 sts on round. When piece measures 50-50-49-49-48-48 cm [19¾’’-19¾’’-19¼’’-19¼’’-19’’-19’’] – less on the larger sizes because of longer sleeve cap and wider shoulders - bind off 4 sts on each side of MT for armhole = 38-42-44-48-52-54 sts. Put piece aside and knit the other sleeve.
YOKE
See Knitting tip! Slip sleeves in on the same circular needle size 5 mm [US 8] as body piece where bind off for armholes = 212-228-248-272-296-316 sts. Insert 1 MT in all transitions between body piece and sleeves = 4 MT. Work yoke in garter st, back and forth on needle. Work 2-1-0-1-0-1 rows and now dec for raglan – see Decreasing tip!
Dec on every 4th row: 13-13-14-13-13-13 times and then on every other row: 0-2-2-5-7-8 times. At the same time when piece measures 53-55-57-59-60-62 cm [21”-21 5/8”-22½”-23¼”-23 5/8”-24 3/8”’’] slip 10 sts each side on separate stitch holders towards mid front. Bind off to shape the neckline at the beg of every row: 2 sts 3-3-6-8-9-9 times and 1 st 5-5-2-0-0-0 times. After all dec are complete there are 66-66-72-76-80-86 sts on row. K 1 row dec 8-8-12-16-16-22 sts evenly = 58-58-60-60-64-64 sts.
HOOD
Pick up 25-25-28-28-30-30 sts on each front piece (incl sts from stitch holders) = 108-108-116-116-124-124 sts. Change to needle size 5.5 mm [US 9] and work 4 rows garter st, at the same time dec 18 sts evenly on first row = 90-90-98-98-106-106 sts. Insert 1 MT mid back (after 45-45-49-49-53-53 sts). Continue in reverse stockinette st with 8 garter sts each side. At the same time inc 1 st on each side on MT on every 8th row a total of 4 times = 98-98-106-106-114-114 sts. Bind off when hood measures 38-38-39-39-40-40 cm [15”-15”-15¼”-15¼”-15¾”-15¾”].
ASSEMBLY
Sew openings under arms. Sew on buttons. Fold hood double and sew tog at top from the RS.

Is there written instruction for the cables in this pattern? Meaning each row written out (so one doesn't have to follow the chart (which I have trouble with)? Sorry but it's not explained well enough in this pattern for me to follow. I've done cable many times but with each row written.Thank you for understanding.

Hi Alice, there is nothing but a chart available. It seems like difficult, but with explanation above you will be able to do it. Just give it a try. If you have any questions, let us know. Happy knitting!
12.04.2022 kl. 08:56Bonjour, Je m'interroge pour la couture de la capuche. Il est indiqué coudre sur l'endroit, mais est-ce qu'on parle de l'endroit de l'ouvrage, qui est donc le côté point envers puisqu'on est sur un jersey envers, ou bien sur le côté endroit du jersey envers ? C'est béta, mais je ne sais pas quoi faire...
13.02.2022 - 15:59DROPS Design answered:
Bonjour Béa, vous assemblez effectivement bien la capuche sur l'endroit, mais non pas en jersey endroit comme dans la vidéo (standard), mais en jersey envers, autrement dit, comme le montre cette vidéo ci. Bonnes finitions!
14.02.2022 kl. 10:27De minderingen aan de zijkant: worden die recht of averechts gebreid? Bij recht breien ontstaat een rij van twee rechten tot een bepaalde hoogte. Of moet ik op de goede kant (averechtse steken) averechts minderen ?
16.06.2021 - 18:25Tellen de opzet-steken als 1e naald? In dit patroon betekent dat een geribbelde onderkant, Klopt dat?
17.05.2021 - 18:47DROPS Design answered:
Dag Gera,
Nee, de eerste naald na het opzetten is de eerste naald. Na het opzetten brei je de eerste naald averecht aan de verkeerde kant. Dan begin je aan de goede kant met het boordpatroon.
20.05.2021 kl. 16:58Bonjour, lorsque nous sommes rendu à réduire 13 fois tous les 4 rangs puis 7 fois tous les 2 rangs, est-ce qu'on réduit n'importe où sur le tricot? Et est-ce qu'on alterne les 13 réductions avec les 7? Besoin d'être éclairée svp merci
29.12.2020 - 23:53DROPS Design answered:
Bonjour Isabelle, vous devez diminuer comme indiqué sous Diminutions pour le raglan autrement dit 1 m de chaque côté de chaque marqueur et donc 8 mailles au total, d'abord 13 fois tous les 4 rangs puis 7 fois tous les 2 rangs. Bon tricot!
04.01.2021 kl. 12:08My second question in my last response wasn't answered. Where exactly is mid front? This is needed when looking at the yoke. The yoke pattern says "slip 10 stitches each side on separate stitch holders towards mid front." Again, I appreciate your response.
21.10.2020 - 13:17DROPS Design answered:
Dear Trisha, sorry for leaving out the second half of the answer. "Mid front" refers to the stitches that will at the two front edges, that is the first and the last stitches of the row. The easiest way to do this is that you knit the first 10 stitches, put them on a holder, knit the rest of the row, turn, knit the first 10 stitches, and knit the rest of the row. I hope this helps. Happy Knitting!
21.10.2020 kl. 14:16Hello, I have several questions after reading the pattern. It states after repeating m.1 4 times, knit m.2 over m.1. What does this mean? Also, when doing the yoke, it states to slip 10 stitches onto separate stitch holders towards mid front. Where exactly is mid front? Thank you for your time, and I look forward to your response.
20.10.2020 - 22:49DROPS Design answered:
Dear Trisha, "m.1 4 times, knit m.2 over m.1" means that first you knit the M.1 pattern above each outher 4 times, then on these stitches you will have to continue with pattern M.2. Happy Knitting!
21.10.2020 kl. 04:05"continue as follows from RS: 8 garter sts, 6-6-6-6-14-14 sts in reverse stockinette st, M.1 (= 24 sts)." I am stitching the large size. Says I should have 24 stitches and I only have 15. What am I doing wrong? This is on the body of the jacket, and is important to know for the rest of the pattern. Please don't tell me to look at the diagram. After decades of knitting, I still can't read them. I also didn't see a video regarding this either.

Dear Saije, in size L you have 244 sts and work them as follows: 8 sts in garter st, 6 sts in reversed stocking st, the next 24 sts as shown in M.1, 48 sts in reversed stocking st, the next 24 sts as in M.1, 24 sts reversed stocking st, the next 24 sts as in M.1, 48 sts in reversed stocking st, the next 24 sts as in M1, 6 sts in reversed stocking st, 8 sts in garter st = 8+6+24+48+24+24+24+48+24+6+8= 244 sts. We only have diagrams, not written pattern for the diagrams but you will find how to read knitting diagrams here. Happy knitting!
24.09.2020 kl. 09:49Hallo, complimenten voor uw gratis patronen, ik heb al verschillende projecten gemaakt. Wat ik echter niet begrijp is als u zegt, brei de mouw in het rond op de sokkenbreinaald. Ik zie in uw assortiment niet een kleine rondbreinaald waar je sokken op kunt breien, zeker niet in maat 5 of 6 mm. Dus wat bedoelt u dan eigenlijk? Ik heb de set van rondbreinaalden met verwisselbare naalden en kabeltjes maar deze zijn ook nog te lang voor een mouw.
22.02.2020 - 15:18DROPS Design answered:
Dag Anja,
Je kunt naalden zonder knop gebruiken of een rondbreinaald. Als de rondbreinaald te lang is kun je volgens de magic loop techniek in deze video breien.
23.02.2020 kl. 13:52J aimerais savoir comment fait on pour savoir quel grandeur faire notre tricot( small, médium, large). J aimerais comprendre. Merci.
