There are different terms for crocheting in British and American English. If this pattern includes crochet, click for "crochet terms" here. For this pattern in American English, please click here.
GARTER ST (back and forth):
K all rows. 1 ridge = 2 rows K.

PATTERN:
See diagrams A.1 to A.5. The diagrams show all rows in pattern seen from RS.

KNITTING TIP (applies to bands):
To keep the bands from contracting vertically work short rows over bands as follows: * Beg mid front and K the outermost 10 sts (= band), turn piece, slip 1st st as if to K, tighten yarn and K the rest of row *, repeat from *-* after approx. every 10 rows in piece. 

INCREASE TIP-1 (applies to shawl collar):
Inc 1 st in next to last st towards mid front by K in front and back loop of same st.

INCREASE TIP-2 (applies to mid under sleeve):
Inc 1 st on each side of st with marker mid under sleeve. Inc 1 st by making 1 YO, on next round work YO twisted to avoid holes. Work the inc sts in the pattern A.3.

DECREASE TIP (applies to neckline):
Dec inside 10 band sts in garter st + inc sts for shawl collar. All dec are done from RS!
Dec as follows before band + collar: K 2 tog.
Dec as follows after collar + band: Slip 1 st as if to K, K 1, psso.

BUTTONHOLES:
Dec for buttonholes from RS on left band (when garment is worn). 1 buttonhole = work 6 band sts as before, slip next to last st on right needle over outermost st on right needle, K 1, slip next to last st on right needle over outermost st on right needle (2 sts cast off), K the last 3 sts. On next row cast on 2 new sts over the cast off sts.

JACKET:
Worked back and forth on circular needle from mid front.

BODY:
Cast on 243-271-299-327-355-383 sts (incl 10 band sts in each side towards mid front) on circular needle size 3 mm with Karisma. P 1 row from WS. Work next row as follows from RS: 10 band sts in GARTER ST – see explanation above, A.1A (= 28 sts), * K 3, P 4 *, repeat from *-* 11-13-15-17-19-21 times in total, K 3, P 7 (= mid back), * K 3, P 4 *, repeat from *-* 11-13-15-17-19-21 times in total, K 3, A.2A (= 28 sts) and 10 band sts in garter st. Work back from WS with garter st over garter st, P over P, K over K. Continue rib until piece measures 8 cm, remember BUTTONHOLES on left band – see explanation above and KNITTING TIP. Work next row as follows from RS: 10 band sts as before, A.1B (= 28 sts dec to 25 sts), * K 3, P 2, P 2 tog *, repeat from *-* 11-13-15-17-19-21 times in total, K 3, P 2 tog, P 3, P 2 tog, * K 3, P 2, P 2 tog *, repeat from *-* 11-13-15-17-19-21 times in total, K 3, A.2B (= 28 sts dec to 25 sts) and 10 band sts as before = 213-237-261-285-309-333 sts. Work back from WS with garter st over garter st, P over P, K over K, (work A.1B and A.2B as shown in diagram). Switch to circular needle size 4 mm and work next row from RS as follows: 10 band sts as before, A.4 (= 25 sts), work A.3A over the next 72-84-96-108-120-132 sts (= 12-14-16-18-20-22 repetitions of 6 sts), work A.3B (= 5 sts), work A.3C over the next 66-78-90-102-114-126 sts (= 11-13-15-17-19-21 repetitions of 6 sts), work A.5 (= 25 sts) and finish with 10 band sts as before. Insert 1 marker in the 59th-65th-71st-77th-83rd-89th st in from each side (markers are in a st in garter st in the sides on body). Continue the pattern like this and move the markers upwards when working. REMEMBER THE KNITTING TENSION When piece measures 46-47-48-49-50-51 cm, cast off 7 sts in each side for armholes (i.e. cast off st with marker + 3 sts on each side of this). Then finish front and back piece separately.

BACK PIECE:
= 89-101-113-125-137-149 sts. Continue A.3 on back piece as before and cast off for armholes at beg of every row in each side as follows: Cast off 2 sts 0-0-2-5-5-7 times and 1 st 2-2-4-4-4-6 times = 85-97-97-97-109-109 sts. Continue to work until piece measures 66-68-70-72-74-76 cm. Now cast off the middle 23-27-27-27-29-29 sts for neck and finish each shoulder separately. Cast off 2 st on next row from neck = 29-33-33-33-38-38 sts remain on the shoulder. Continue to work until piece measures 68-70-72-74-76-78 cm and loosely cast off. Repeat on the other shoulder.

LEFT FRONT PIECE:
= 55-61-67-73-79-85 sts. Continue the pattern as before and cast off for armhole at beg of every row from the side as on back piece. AT THE SAME TIME when 2 rows have been worked after last buttonhole on band work 1 ridge (i.e. 2 rows K) over only the outermost 10 band sts towards mid front (do not work the other sts on row). Then work over all sts on row as before. AT THE SAME TIME inc 1 st for shawl collar towards mid front – READ INCREASE TIP-1. Inc like this every other row 18-18-18-20-20-20 times in total. AT THE SAME TIME when piece measures 52-53-54-55-56-57 cm (2 cm should now be worked after last buttonhole), dec 1 st for neckline towards mid front - READ DECREASE TIP. Dec like this every other row (i.e. every row from RS) a total of 10-12-12-12-13-13 times and then every 4th row (i.e. every other row from RS) 4 times in total in all sizes. After all inc and dec, there are 57-61-61-63-68-68 sts on needle. When piece measures 68-70-72-74-76-78 cm, cast off the outermost 29-33-33-33-38-38 sts on shoulder = 28-28-28-30-30-30 sts remain for collar. Continue back and forth in garter st over these sts as follows: * 1 ridge over all sts, 1 ridge over only the outermost 18-18-18-20-20-20 sts *, repeat from *-* until collar measures approx. 9-9-9-10-10-10 cm inside on the most narrow (collar measures approx. 18-18-18-20-20-20 cm at the edge on the widest). Cast off.

RIGHT FRONT PIECE:
Work as left but reversed. NOTE: Do not dec for buttonholes on right band. When working 1 ridge over only the outermost 10 sts towards mid front, adjust according to left front piece.

SLEEVE:
Cast on 56-56-63-63-63-70 sts on double pointed needles size 3 mm with Karisma. K 1 round. Work next round as follows: * K 3, P 4 *, repeat from *-* the entire round. When piece measures 6 cm, work next round as follows: * K 3, P 2, P 2 tog *, repeat from *-* the entire round = 48-48-54-54-54-60 sts. Switch to double pointed needles size 4 mm and work pattern in the round according to diagram A.3A. Insert 1 marker in last st on round (i.e. in st in garter st = mid under sleeve) and move the marker upwards. When piece measures 8 cm, inc 2 sts mid under sleeve - READ INCREASE TIP-2. Inc a total of 18-20-20-22-25-25 times in Size S: On every 7th round, in size M + L: On every 6th round, in size XL: On every 5th round, in size XXL: Alternately on every 4th and 5th round and size XXXL: On every 4th round = 84-88-94-98-104-110 sts. When piece measures 53-53-51-49-49-46 cm (NOTE: Shorter measurements in the larger sizes because of longer sleeve cap and wider shoulders) cast off the middle 7 sts under sleeve (cast off st with marker + 3 sts on each side of this). Now work sleeve cap back and forth on circular needle. Continue with the pattern while AT THE SAME TIME casting off at beg of every row in each side as follows: Cast off 3 sts 1 time, 2 sts 1-1-2-3-3-4 time and 1 st 2-2-3-3-3-6 times. Continue to cast
off 2 sts in each side of piece until piece measures 59 cm in all sizes, cast off 3 sts 1 time in each side and cast off the remaining sts. Sleeve measures approx. 60 cm in all sizes. Knit another sleeve the same way.

ASSEMBLY:
Sew the shoulder seams. Sew collar tog mid back (make sure that seam is not visible when collar is folded down). Sew collar to neckline in the back of neck.
Sew in sleeves. Sew the buttons on to the right band.

This pattern has been corrected.

Updated online: 20.12.2016
BUTTONHOLES:...On next row cast on 2 (not 3) new sts over the cast off sts.

Do you have a question? See a list of frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Knitting tension is what determines the final measurements of your work, and is usually measured per 10 x 10 cm. It is provided like so: number of stitches in width x number of rows in height - eg: 19 stitches x 26 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

The knitting tension is very individual; some people knit/crochet loosely while others work tightly. You adjust the knitting tension with the needle size, which is why the suggested needle size is only meant as a guide! You need to adjust this (up or down) to ensure that YOUR knitting tension matches the knitting tension provided in the pattern. If you work with a different knitting tension than provided you will have a different yarn consumption, and your work will have different measurements than what the pattern suggests.

The knitting tension also determines which yarns can replace each other. As long as you achieve the same knitting tension you can replace one yarn with another.

See DROPS lesson: How to measure your tension/gauge

See DROPS video: How to make a gauge tension swatch

The required amount of yarn is provided in grams, eg: 450 g. To calculate how many balls you’ll need you first need to know how many grams are in 1 ball (25g, 50g or 100g). This information is available if you click on the individual yarn quality on our pages. Divide the amount required with the amount of each ball. For example, if each ball is 50g (the most common amount), the calculation will be as follows: 450 / 50 = 9 balls.

The important thing when changing from one yarn to another is that the knitting/crochet tension remains the same. This is so that the measurements of the finished piece will be the same as on the sketch provided. It is easier to achieve the same knitting tension using yarns from the same yarn group. It is also possible to work with multiple strands of a thinner yarn to achieve the knitting tension of a thicker one. Please try our yarn converter. We recommend you to always work a test swatch.

Please NOTE: when changing yarn the garment might have a different look and feel to the garment in the photo, due to individual properties and qualities of each yarn.

See DROPS lesson: Can I use a different yarn than the one mentioned in the pattern?

All our yarns are categorised into yarn groups (from A to F) according to thickness and knitting tension – group A contains the thinnest yarns and group F the thickest. This makes it easier for you to find alternative yarns to our patterns, should you wish to switch yarn. All yarns within the same group have a similar knitting tension and can easily replace each other. However, different yarn qualities have different structures and properties which will give the finished work a unique look and feel.

Click here for an overview of the yarns in each yarn group

At the top of all our patterns you’ll find a link to our yarn calculator, which is a helpful tool should you wish to use a different yarn than suggested. By filling in the yarn quality you wish to replace, the amount (in your size) and number of strands, the calculator will present good alternative yarns with the same knitting tension. Additionally it will tell you how much you’ll require in the new qualities and whether you’ll need to work with multiple strands. Most skeins are 50g (some are 25g or 100g).

If the pattern is worked with multiple colours, every colour will have to be calculated separately. Similarly, if the pattern is worked with several strands of different yarns (for example 1 strand Alpaca and 1 strand Kid-Silk) you will have to find alternatives for each, individually.

Click here to see our yarn calculator

Since different yarns have different qualities and textures we have chosen to keep the original yarn in our patterns. However, you can easily find options among our available qualities by using our yarn calculator, or simply pick a yarn from the same yarn group.

It is possible that some retailers still have discontinued yarns in stock, or that someone has a few skeins at home that they would like to find patterns for.

The yarn calculator will provide both alternative yarn as well as required amount in the new quality.

If you think it's hard to decide what size to make, it can be a good idea to measure a garment you own already and like the size of. Then you can pick the size by comparing those measures with the ones available in the pattern's size chart.

You'll find the size chart at the bottom of the pattern.

See DROPS lesson: How to read size chart

The needle size provided in the pattern serves only as a guide, the important thing is to follow the knitting tension. And since knitting tension is very individual, you will have to adjust the needle size to ensure that YOUR tension is the same as in the pattern – maybe you’ll have to adjust 1, or even 2 needle sizes, up or down to achieve the correct tension. For this, we recommend that you work test swatches.

Should you work with a different knitting tension than the one provided, the measurements of the finished garment might deviate from the measurement sketch.

See DROPS lesson: How to measure your tension/gauge

See DROPS video: How to make a tension/gauge swatch

Working a garment top-down provides more flexibility and room for personal adjustment. For example it is easier to try the garment on while working, as well as making adjustments to length of yoke and shoulder caps.

The instructions are carefully explaining every step, in the correct order. Diagrams are adjusted to the knitting direction and are worked as usual.

The diagram depicts all rows/rounds, and every stitch seen from the right side. It is read from bottom to top, from right to left. 1 square = 1 stitch.

When working back and forth, every other row is worked from the right side and every other row is worked from the wrong side. When working from the wrong side, the diagram will have to be worked reversed: from left to right, knit stitches are purled, purl stitches are knit etc.

When working in the round every round is worked from the right side and the diagram are worked from right to left on all rounds.

See DROPS lesson: How to read knitting diagrams

The diagram depicts all rows/rounds, and every stitch seen from the right side. It is worked from bottom to top, from right to left.

When working back and forth every other row is worked from the right side: from right to left and every other row is worked from the wrong side: from left to right.

When working in the round, every row in the diagram are worked from the right side, from right to left.

When working a circular diagram you start in the middle and work your way outwards, counter clockwise, row by row.

The rows usually start with a given number of chain stitches (equivalent to the height of the following stitch), this will either be depicted in the diagram or explained in the pattern.

See DROPS lesson: How to read crochet diagrams

Instructions for working several diagrams after each other on the same row/round, will often be written like so: “work A.1, A.2, A.3 a total of 0-0-2-3-4 times". This means you work A.1 once, then A.2 is worked once, and A.3 is repeated (in width) the number of times provided for your size – in this case like so: S = 0 times, M = 0 times, L=2 times, XL= 3 times and XXL = 4 times.

The diagrams are worked as usual: begin with the first row in A.1, then work the first row in A.2 etc.

See DROPS lesson: How to read knitting diagrams

See DROPS lesson: How to read crochet diagrams

The total width of the garment (from wrist-to-wrist) will be larger in the larger sizes, despite the actual sleeves being shorter. The larger sizes have longer sleeve caps and wider shoulders, so there will be a good fit in all sizes.

The measurement sketch/schematic drawing provides information regarding the full length of the garment. If it’s a jumper or a jacket the length is measured from the highest point on the shoulder closest to the neckline, and straight down to the bottom of the garment. It is NOT measured from the tip of shoulder. Similarly, the length of yoke is measured from the highest point on the shoulder and down to where yoke is split into body and sleeves.

On a jacket measures are never taken along bands, unless specifically stated. Always measure inside band stitches when measuring the length.

See DROPS lesson: How to read a schematic drawing

Diagrams are often repeated on the round or in height. 1 repeat is the diagram the way it appears in the pattern. If it says to work 5 repeats of A.1 in the round, then you work A.1 a total of 5 times after/next to each other in the round. If it says to work 2 repeats of A.1 vertically/in height you work the entire diagram once, then begin again at the start and work the entire diagram one more time.

Chain stitches are slightly narrower than other stitches and to avoid working the cast-on edge too tight, we simply chain more stitches to begin with. The stitch count will be adjusted on the following row to fit the pattern and measurement sketch.

The rib edge is more elastic and will contract slightly compared to, for example, stocking stitch. By increasing before the rib edge, you avoid a visible difference in width between the rib edge and the rest of the body.

It’s very easy to cast off too tightly, and by making yarn overs while casting off (and simultaneously casting these off) you avoid a too tight cast off edge.

See DROPS video: How to bind off with yarn overs (yo)

To achieve an even increase (or decrease) you can increase on, for example: every 3rd and 4th row alternately, like so: work 2 rows and increase on the 3rd row, work 3 rows and increase on the 4th. Repeat this until the increase is complete.

See DROPS lesson: Increase or decrease 1 st on every 3rd and 4th row alternately

Should you prefer to work in the round instead of back and forth, you may of course adjust the pattern. You’ll need to add steeks mid-front (usually 5 stitches), and follow the instructions. When you would normally turn and work from the wrong side, simply work across the steek and continue in the round. At the end you’ll cut the piece open, pick up stitches to work bands, and cover the cut edges.

See DROPS video: How to knit steeks and cut open

Should you prefer to work back and forth instead of in the round, you may of course adjust the pattern so you work the pieces separately and then assemble them at the end. Divide the stitches for the body in 2, add 1 edge stitch in each side (for sewing) and work the front and back pieces separately.

See DROPS lesson: Can I adapt a pattern for circular needles into straight needles?

Pattern repeats can vary slightly in the different sizes, in order to get the correct proportions. If you’re not working the exact same size as the garment in the photo, yours might deviate slightly. This has been carefully developed and adjusted so that the complete impression of the garment is the same in all sizes.

Make sure to follow instructions and diagrams for your size!

If you have found a pattern you like which is available in women’s size it’s not very difficult to convert it to men’s size. The biggest difference will be the length of sleeves and body. Start working on the women size that you think would fit across the chest. The additional length will be worked right before you cast off for the armhole/sleeve cap. If the pattern is worked top-down you can add the length right after the armhole or before the first decrease on sleeve.

Regarding additional yarn amount, this will depend on how much length you add, but it is better with a skein too many than too few.

All yarns will have excess fibres (from production) that might come off as lint or shedding. Brushed yarns (ie hairier yarns) have more of these loose, excess fibres, causing more shedding.

Shedding also depends on what is worn under or over the garment, and whether this pulls at the yarn fibres. It’s therefore not possible to guarantee that there will be no shedding

Below are some tips on how to get the best result when working with hairier yarns:

1. When the garment is finished (before you wash it) shake it vigorously so the looser hairs come off. NOTE: do NOT use a lint roller, brush or any method that pulls at the yarn.

2. Place the garment in a plastic bag and put it in your freezer - the temperature will cause the fibres to become less attached to each other, and excess fibres will come off easier.

3. Leave in the freezer for a few hours before taking it out and shaking it again.

4. Wash the garment according to the instructions on the yarn label.

Pilling is a natural process that happens to even the most exclusive of fibers. It's a natural sign of wear and tear that is hard to avoid, and that is most visible in high friction areas of your garment like a sweater's arms and cuffs.

You can make your garment look as new by removing the pilling, using a fabric comb or a pill/lint remover.

Still can't find the answer you need? Then scroll down and leave your question so one of our experts can try to help you. This will be done normally within 5 to 10 working days.

Bonjour Je ne comprends pas : - quand il faut commencer les augmentations du col. Faut-il les commencer après la dernière boutonnière ? - où il faut placer les augmentations. Je ne comprends pas qu’elle est la maille qui correspond à l’avant dernière côté milieu ( est ce que cette maille se situe dans les 10 mailles du bord)? Merci de votre réponse

Bonjour Valérie, on commence à augmenter pour le col 2 rangs après la dernière boutonnière. Pour augmenter, tricoter sur l'endroit jusqu'à ce qu'il reste 2 mailles (bordure devant/col), tricotez 2 fois la maille suivante et tricotez la dernière maille. On augmente ainsi à 1 maille du bord (cf AUGMENTATIONS-1 (col châle):). Bon tricot!

Pattern: Jackson DROPS 174-1/ size: xxxl Hi again. I’m currently beginning the decreases for the sleeve cap. The instructions say to bind off at the beg of every row in each side. Does this mean complete a decrease only at the beginning of the rows? Or, does this mean decreases are to be completed at the beginning and end of the rows? Thanks in advance.

18.11.2023 - 15:35

DROPS Design answered:

Dear Mrs Agnew, you have to cast off the same number of stitches first at the beg of a row from RS then finish row as before, turn and cast off the same number of sts at the beg of next row from WS, continue row as before. And continue like this, this means in XXXL you will first cast off 3 sts at the beginning of the next 2 rows, then cast off 1 stitch at the beg of next 12 rows (6 times on each side), then cast off 2 sts at the beg of next 2 rows until sleeve measures 59 cm, then cast off 3 sts at the beg of next 2 rows and cast off the remaining stitches. Happy knitting!

Hej. Jeg er nået til udtagningerne i sjalskraven/forkanten og vil høre om jeg fortsat skal strikke de forkortede pinde på hver 10. pind? Hilsen Kit

Continue to cast off 2 sts in each side of piece until… (sleeve). So cast off once or more times?

Dear Mrs Rowall, depending on your tension in height, you have to cast off 2 stitches on each side until you reach the required length. Make just sure that you cast off the same number of times these 2 stitches on each side so that the sleeve cap will be symmetrical. Happy knitting!

Bonjour, Pour les manches, pourquoi utiliser des aiguilles doubles pointes (5 ?) plutôt qu’une aiguille circulaire ? Bonne réception

Bonjour Mme Dupont, si vous aimez la technique magic loop, vous pouvez utiliser une aiguille circulaire pour les manches. Bon tricot!
