BODY:
Worked back and forth on circular needle from mid front.
Cast on 148-168-184 (204-224) sts on circular needle size 2.5 mm / US 1 with Baby Merino. Work first row as follows from RS: 5 sts in GARTER ST (= band) - see explanation above, * K 2, P 2 *, repeat from *-* until 7 sts remain, finish with K 2 and 5 sts in GARTER ST (= band). Continue rib like this with 5 sts in garter st in each side until piece measures 3-3-4 (4-5) cm / 1 1/8"-1 1/8"-1½" (1½"-2") - REMEMBER BUTTON HOLES on band - see explanation above. Switch to circular needle size 3 mm / US 2or3 and work in stockinette st but continue bands in garter st as before. AT THE SAME TIME on first row after rib, dec 32-36-40 (44-52) sts evenly (do not dec over bands) = 116-132-144 (160-172) sts. Insert a marker 31-35-39 (43-45) sts in from each side (= 54-62-66 (74-82) sts between markers on back piece). REMEMBER THE GAUGE! When piece measures 7-7½-8 (9-10) cm / 2 3/4"-2 7/8"-3 1/8" (3½"-4"), work next row as follows from RS: 5 sts in garter st, 21-21-27 (27-31) sts in stockinette st, slip the last 16-16-20 (20-24) sts that were worked on a stitch holder for pocket slit, work until 10-10-12 (12-12) sts remain on needle, slip the last 16-16-20 (20-24) sts that were worked on a stitch holder for pocket slit, work 5-5-7 (7-7) sts in stockinette st and finish with 5 sts in garter st. On next row cast on 16-16-20 (20-24) new sts over each of the 2 stitch holders with sts = 116-132-144 (160-172) sts. Continue in stockinette st and in garter st until piece measures 13-14-16 (16-18) cm / 5 1/8"-5½"-6 1/4" (6 1/4"-7"). Now K 4 rows over all sts (= 2 ridges). Then work DOUBLE SEED ST - see explanation above (continue bands in garter st as before). READ ALL OF THE FOLLOWING SECTION BEFORE CONTINUING! When piece measures 15-17-18 (20-21) cm / 6"-6 3/4"-7" (8"-8 1/4"), work 2 rows in garter st over the first 5 sts on needle (do not work the other sts on needle), then work 1 row over all sts before working 2 rows in garter st over the first 5 sts on needle in the other side of piece (this is done so that the V-neck looks nice). Then dec for V-neck - see explanation above: Dec 1 st every other row (i.e. every row from RS) a total of 12-13-16 (16-16) times. AT THE SAME TIME when piece measures 16-17-19 (20-22) cm / 6¼''-6¾''-7½'' (8''-8¾''), work 4 rows in garter st over the middle 18-20-20 (20-20) sts in each side (i.e. over 9-10-10 (10-10) sts on each side of both markers) – work the other sts as before. On next row, bind off the middle 8-10-10 (10-10) sts in each side for armhole and finish front and back piece separately.
BACK PIECE:
= 46-52-56 (64-72) sts. Work double seed st with 5 sts in garter st in each side (= sleeve edges). AT THE SAME TIME dec for armholes - see explanation above: Dec 1 st every other row (i.e. on every row from RS) a total of 5-6-6 (6-6) times = 36-40-44 (52-60) sts. Continue in double seed st and in garter st until piece measures 24-26-29 (31-34) cm / 9½"-10 1/4"-11 3/8" (12 1/4"-13 3/8"). Now work in garter st over all sts until finished measurements. AT THE SAME TIME when piece measures 25-27-30 (32-35) cm / 9 3/4"-10 5/8"-11 3/4" (12½"-13 3/4"), bind off the middle 16-18-20 (20-24) sts for neck = 10-11-12 (16-18) sts remain on each shoulder. Now finish each shoulder separately. Continue with garter st until piece measures 26-28-31 (33-36) cm / 10 1/4"-11"-12 1/4" (13"-14 1/4"), bind off.
LEFT FRONT PIECE:
Continue with double seed st and in garter st while AT THE SAME TIME dec for armhole in the side as on back piece and continue dec for V-neck as before. After last dec, 10-11-12 (16-18) sts remain on needle. Work garter st over all sts until piece measures 26-28-31 (33-36) cm / 10 1/4"-11"-12 1/4" (13"-14 1/4") and bind off.
RIGHT FRONT PIECE:
Work as left front piece but reversed.
POCKET FLAP:
Slip the 16-16-20 (20-24) sts from stitch holder on one front piece back on needle size 2.5 mm / US 1or2. Work rib K2/P2 with 1 st in garter st and K 2 in each side (seen from RS).
When pocket flap measures 2½-2½-3 (3-3) cm / 7/8"-7/8"-1 1/8" (1 1/8"-1 1/8"), loosely bind off with K over K and P over P.
Sew pocket flap to front piece with duplicate sts in each side. Sew pocket opening to bottom of pocket flap (where sts were put on a stitch holder) on the back of piece. Work another pocket flap the same way on the other front piece.
ASSEMBLY:
Sew the shoulder seams. Sew on buttons.

Forstykke 45 m + bakstk 82 m + forstk 45 m = 172 m på største størrelse. Fell 10 m på hver side av merke (+). Da får jeg 62 m igjen til bakstk. I oppskriften står 72 m. Noe er feil her?

Hej Inger 5 af de 10 masker du lukker af i hver side tilhører forstykkerne.
23.05.2023 kl. 11:26Er fuldstændig vild med denne vest. Men kan man ikke få samme opskrift men på rundpinde. Jeg skal strikke en str 1.1/2 år . Jeg er lidt handicappet i højre hånden pga operation. Så jeg kan ikke så godt bruge min tommelfinger , Men har lettere ved det på en rundpind 🙂 vh connie palsgreen

Hei Connie. Dette er en vest med knapper i midten og det må da strikkes frem og tilbake. Men du strikker med rundpinne, slik det står i oppskriften. mvh DROPS Design
20.03.2023 kl. 13:44I am just about to start the front pieces. The picture shows rib on the arm hole edge as well as the v neck. The pattern doesn’t tell me to do a five stitch garter section on the arm hole edge do I just assume that I need to do this?
06.03.2023 - 18:35DROPS Design answered:
Dear Mrs Dilly, you worked 18 or 20 stitches (see size) in garter stitch on each side then cast off 4 or 5 stitches for armhole = 5 stitches garter stitch remain; when working front piece, continue working stitches as before, including these 5 stitches in garter stitch towards armhole. Happy knitting!
07.03.2023 kl. 10:11Hi, I'm wondering if you can help me understand this pattern where is says "When the piece measures 15cm work 2 rows in garter st over the first 5 sts on the needle (do not work the other sts on needle). I'm not quite understanding how to go forward here? Can you help me, Cathleen
07.02.2023 - 00:29DROPS Design answered:
Hi Cathleen, This means you work 2 knitted rows over the band stitches to help the bands to sit nicely on the jacket. So you knit 5 stitches, turn and knit back. Then work the full row as before. Happy knitting!
07.02.2023 kl. 06:51Jeg kan ikke se, hvordan jeg skal lave en afslutning på rygstykket ved nakken.

Hei Mai-Britt. Strikk dobbel perlestrikk og retstrik til bakstykket måler 24-26-29 (31-34) cm. Deretter strikkes det retstrik over alle maskene til ferdig mål, men SAMTIDIG når bakstykket måler 25-27-30 (32-35) cm felles de midterste 16-18-20 (20-24) maskene av til hals = 10-11-12 (16-18) masker tilbake på hver skulder. Strikk hver skulder ferdig for seg. Fortsett med retstrik over den ene skulderen frem og tilbake i 1 cm, fell av og klipp tråden. Strikk den andre skulderen på samme måte. mvh DROPS Design
12.12.2022 kl. 11:05Buongiorno, non riesco a capire questo passaggio me lo potereste spiegare meglio?grazie mille Quando il lavoro misura 15-17-18 (20-21) cm, lavorare 2 f. a m. legaccio sulle prime 5 m. sul ferro (non lavorare le altre m. sul ferro), poi lavorare 1 f. su tutte le m. prima di lavorare 2 f. a m. legaccio sulle prime 5 m. sul f. dall’altro lato del lavoro (per fare in modo che il collo a V sia carino). eliana

Buonasera Eliana, in questo punto deve lavorare a ferri accorciati, cioè su una parte delle maglie sul ferro come indicato. Buon lavoro!
15.11.2022 kl. 22:16[RS: 5 sts in garter st, 21-21-27 (27-31) sts in stockinette st, slip the last 16-16-20 (20-24) sts that were worked on a stitch holder for pocket slit, work until 10-10-12 (12-12) sts remain on needle, slip the last 16-16-20 (20-24) sts that were worked on a stitch holder for pocket slit, work 5-5-7 (7-7) sts in stockinette st and finish with 5 sts in garter st. } I can't understand this.

Hi Evangelia, You are placing the pocket stitches on threads to be worked later. To avoid cutting the strand by each pocket, these stitches are worked first then placed on the threads before finishing the row. Hope this helps and happy knitting!
13.10.2022 kl. 06:57Habe Markierungen gesetzt ( Vorder u Rückenteil). - Wieso auf der rechten Nadel….ich stricke doch mit Rundnadel. - …bis nach (noch?) 10 M übrig sind. Wo? Und danach soll ich 16 M stilllegen? Merci für Antwort!
09.10.2022 - 17:20DROPS Design answered:
Liebe Margret, die Maschen für die Taschen werden zuerst gestrickt, dann stillgelegt, dh Sie stricken zuerst die ersten 5 M krausrippe, dann die nächsten 21 Maschen glatt und die 10 letzten gestrickten Maschen legen Sie still (es sind noch 11 Maschen glatt rechts auf der Nadel), dann Reihe bis 10 Maschen übrig sind und wieder die 10 letzten gestrickten Maschen stillleggen. Viel Spaß beim stricken!
10.10.2022 kl. 09:22Mon travail n'est pas symétrique quand je fais les 4 rangs points mousse au dessus des 18mailles centrales. J'ai mis mes marqueurs en bas, mais je pense ne pas arriver à retrouver l'emplacement des marqueurs à ce niveau. Ce qui m'aiderait c'est d'avoir le nombre de mailles en double points de riz avant les 18 mailles. Merci
26.07.2022 - 13:08DROPS Design answered:
Bonjour Rachel, vos marqueurs doivent être toujours au même endroit qu'au début de l'ouvrage, soit à 31 m du bord de chaque côté (le nombre de mailles ne change pas, on n'augmente pas de mailles sur les côtés). Autrement dit, en 1ère taille vous tricotez 27 m comme avant - les diminutions de l'encolure (à vérifier sur votre ouvrage, en fonction de votre tension en hauteur, ce nombre peut varier), 8 m point mousse, 46 m comme avant, 8 m point mousse, 27 m comme avant - les diminutions de l'encolure (le même que celles du 1er devant normalement). Bon tricot!
01.08.2022 kl. 11:17Bonjour, Je suis bloquée à 16 cm pour trouver comment tricoter mes 18 mailles en points mousses. Mon travail n'est pas symétrique des deux côtés. Merci pour votre aide

Bonjour Rachel, ou est-ce que votre trabail n'est pas symetrique?
