Pattern instructions

NOTE: This pattern is written in American English. All measurements in charts are in cm. Convert from inches to cm here. There are different terms for crocheting in American and British English. If this pattern includes crochet, convert "crochet terms" here. See this pattern in British English here.

GARTER STITCH (worked in the round):
1 ridge = 2 rounds. Knit 1 round and purl 1 round.

GARTER STITCH (back and forth):
1 ridge = knit 2 rows.

PATTERN:
See diagrams A.1 and A.2. Diagrams show all rows in pattern seen from the right side.

RAGLAN:
Increase for raglan on each side of A.1 + 1 stitch in stockinette stitch in each side (on each side of 21 stitches). Increase 1 stitch by making 1 yarn over, on next round work yarn over twisted to avoid holes. Work the increased stitches in stockinette stitch. NOTE: Increase differently on body and sleeves as explained in pattern.

DECREASE TIP:
Decrease mid under sleeve as follows: Begin 3 stitches before marker thread and knit 2 together, knit 1 (= stitch with marker thread), slip 1 stitch knitwise, knit 1, pass slipped stitch over stitch worked (= 2 stitches decreased).

INCREASE TIP (applies to increase in the sides of body):
Begin 1 stitch before stitch with marker thread, 1 yarn over, knit 3(marker thread is in the middle stitch), 1 yarn over (= 2 stitches
increased). On next round knit yarn over twisted to avoid holes.
----------------------------------------------------------

JUMPER:
Worked in the round on circular needle from top down.

YOKE:
Cast on 102-102-102-102-106-106 stitches on circular needle size 4 mm / US 6 with Cotton Merino. Work 2 ridges in GARTER STITCH - see explanation above. Knit 1 round while increasing 14 stitches evenly in all sizes = 116-116-116-116-120-120 stitches. REMEMBER THE KNITTING GAUGE Work next round as follows: 1 yarn over, 15 stitches in stockinette stitch, 1 yarn over (= left sleeve), 1 stitch in stockinette stitch, A.1 (= 19 stitches), 1 stitch in stockinette stitch, 1 yarn over, 1-1-1-1-3-3 stitches in stockinette stitch, 1 yarn over, 1 stitch in stockinette stitch, A.1, 1 stitch in stockinette stitch (= front piece), 1 yarn over, 15 stitches in stockinette stitch, 1 yarn over (= right sleeve), 1 stitch in stockinette stitch, A.1, 1 stitch in stockinette stitch, 1 yarn over, 1-1-1-1-3-3 stitches in stockinette stitch, 1 yarn over, 1 stitch in stockinette stitch, A.1, 1 stitch in stockinette stitch (= back piece). First increase for RAGLAN is now done. Continue upwards with this division with pattern and stockinette stitch. Increase for raglan as explained above. NOTE: Increase differently on yoke and sleeves as follows:

FRONT AND BACK PIECE:
Increase 4 stitches every round 0-0-0-5-10-16 times in total, then every other round 18-22-30-30-30-30 times in total and finally every 4th round 4-4-0-0-0-0 times in total.

SLEEVES:
Increase 4 stitches every round 0-0-2-1-0-0 times in total, then every other round 20-24-29-32-35-35 in total and finally every 4th round 3-3-0-0-0-2 times in total.

After all increases are done there are 296-328-360-388-420-452 stitches on round. Piece measures approx. 22-24-25-27-29-31 cm / 8¾"-9½"-9¾"-10½"-11½"-12¼" from shoulder (19-21-22-24-26-28 cm / 7½"-8¼"-8¾"-9½"-10¼"-11" from cast-on edge). Now work as follows: Cast on 7 new stitch on needle (insert 1 marker thread in the middle stitch), slip the first 61-69-77-81-85-89 stitches on a stitch holder (= sleeve), work pattern and in stockinette stitch as before over the next 87-95-103-113-125-137 stitches (= back piece), slip the next 61-69-77-81-85-89 stitches on a stitch holder, cast on 7 new stitches under sleeve, (insert 1 marker thread in the middle stitch), work pattern and in stockinette stitch as before over the remaining 87-95-103-113-125-137 stitches (= front piece). NOW MEASURE THE PIECE FROM HERE.

BODY:
= 188-204-220-240-264-288 stitches. Continue with A.1 and in stockinette stitch as before. When piece measures 3 cm / 1", increase 1 stitch on each side of both marker threads - READ INCREASE TIP (= 4 stitches increased), work the increased stitches in stockinette stitch. Increase every 4 cm / 1½" 7 times in total = 216-232-248-268-292-316 stitches. Continue stockinette stitch and A.1 until piece measures 34-34-35-35-35-35 cm / 13½"-13½"-13¾"-13¾"-13¾"-13¾", adjust so that next round worked is last round in A.1. Work last round in A.1, AT THE SAME TIME adjust number of stitches between A.1 and A.1 in the middle of front piece and in the middle of back piece to 47-59-71-71-83-95 stitches (= 220-240-264-264-288-312 stitches in total). Then work as follows - from beginning of round: A.2 (= 11 stitches), purl 1, A.2, A.1 as before, *A.2, purl 1 *, work from *-* 3-4-5-5-6-7 times in total, A.2, A.1 as before, A.2, purl 1, A.2, A.1 as before, *A.2, purl 1 *, work from *-* 3-4-5-5-6-7 times in total, A.2, A.1 as before. Work A.1/A.2 1 time vertically, then work 1 ridge before binding off.

SLEEVE:
Slip stitches from sleeve back on a short circular needle/double pointed needles size 4 mm / US 6, pick up 1 stitch in each of the 7 stitches cast on under sleeve = 68-76-84-88-92-96 stitches. Insert 1 marker thread in the middle stitch under sleeve – NOW MEASURE PIECE FROM HERE. Work in stockinette stitch in the round on circular needle/double pointed needles. When piece measures 3 cm / 1", decrease 1 stitch on each side of marker threads - READ DECREASE TIP. Repeat decrease every 3-2-2-1½-1½-1½ cm / 1"-¾"-¾"-½"-½"-½" 13-16-19-20-21-22 times in total. After all decreases are done, 42-44-46-48-50-52 stitches remain on round. When sleeve measures 42-41-41-40-38-37 cm / 16½"-16"-16"-15¾"-15"-14½" adjust number of stitches to 48 in all sizes. Then work as follows: * A.2, purl 1 *, work from *-* 4 times in total. When A.1 has been worked 1 time vertically, work 1 ridge and then bind off. Sleeve measures approx. 46-45-45-44-42-41 cm / 18"-17¾"-17¾"-17¼"-16½"-16" in total. Work the other sleeve the same way.

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

Why is the knitting/crochet tension so important?

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 only serve 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

How do I know how many balls of yarn I need?

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.

Can I use a different yarn than what the pattern suggests?

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?

What are the yarn groups?

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

How do I use the yarn converter?

At the top of all our patterns you’ll find a link to our yarn converter, 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 converter 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 converted 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 converter

Why do you show discontinued yarns in the patterns?

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 converter, 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 converter will provide both alternative yarn as well as required amount in the new quality.

What size should I knit?

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

Why do I get the wrong knitting tension with the suggested needle size?

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 gauge tension swatch

Why is the pattern worked top-down?

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.

How do I work according to a knitting diagram?

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

How do I work according to a crochet diagram?

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

How do I work several diagrams simultaneously on the same row/round?

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

Why are the sleeves shorter in larger sizes?

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.

Where on the garment is the length measured?

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 (usually 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.

See DROPS lesson: How to read a schematic drawing

What is a repeat?

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.

Why does the piece start with more chain stitches than it’s worked with?

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.

Why increase before the rib edge when the piece is worked top-down?

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.

Why increase in the cast-off edge?

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)

How do I increase/decrease on every 3rd and 4th row/round alternately?

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

How can I work a jacket in the round instead of back and forth?

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

Can I work a jumper back and forth instead of in the round?

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?

Why is the pattern slightly different than what I see in the photo?

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!

How do I make a women’s size garment into a men’s size one?

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.

How do I prevent a hairy garment from shedding?

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.

Why does my garment pill?

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.

Hi, I really love this pattern but the small size is too big. I would be an XS, would I be able to use a smaller needle to get this size?

04.11.2022 - 19:25

Dear Gaye, using a smaller needle may not be enough to get the size you want. You need to use a rule-of-three to calculate the stitches needed for your measurements, according to your gauge and adapt the pattern to the new calculations and measurements. You can see how to calculate a pattern here: https://www.garnstudio.com/lesson.php?id=25&cid=19. Happy knitting!

Dag Nelleke,

Omdat je maat M breit kun je gelijk beginnen met om de naald meerderen, want bij elke naald staat 0 keer. De meerderingen staan niet in het telpatroon, de steken van het telpatroon blijven steeds hetzelfde en je meerdert voor de raglan steeds aan elke kant van A.1

Marcia wrote:

I understand that I need to increase 8 stitches for the A.1 sections. Do I also need to increase for the sleeves?

09.07.2019 - 17:25

Dear Marcia, you increase for raglan before 1 st + A.1 and/or after A.1 + 1 stitch - see RAGLAN. Depending on your size you will increase a different way on sleeve and body, you then increase 1 stitch at the beginning of body/sleeve after 1 st after A.1 and increase at the end of body/sleeve before 1 st before A.1, you will increase either 4 sts or 8 sts on each increase round. Happy knitting!

10.07.2019 - 09:04

Hi. I'm making the XL size. For the increases in the yoke...if I increase on both sides of each A.1 pattern and there are 2 patterns on the front and 2 on the back, that makes 8 stitches. I also increase 4 stitches for the sleeves (every other round). Is this right? Thanks.

09.07.2019 - 06:54

Hi Marcia, A total of 8 stitches are increased on each increase-round for raglan, so you need to increase on the first side of the first A.1 and the far side of the second A.1 on both front and back pieces. Happy knitting!

09.07.2019 - 07:27

A general comment on patterns: it would be so helpful if the diagram explanations appeared on the same page as their diagrams when the pattern is printed.

03.05.2019 - 12:09

I'm trying to figure out the right size. How much ease is there in the bust?

13.04.2019 - 19:56

Dear Marcia, if you're in doubt, you should always choose the largest size. You can also take as a reference the measurements in the diagram.
