INFORMATION FOR THE PATTERN:
RIDGE/GARTER STITCH (worked back and forth):
1 ridge = Knit 2 rows.
ELEVATION:
Start from the right side and knit the first 51-55-60-60-64-69 stitches, insert one marker (= mid back – NOTE: in M + XXL insert the marker in the next stitch, in the other sizes insert the marker before the next stitch).
Knit the next 8-9-10-10-10-11 stitches, turn, tighten the strand and knit back 16-19-20-20-21-22 stitches, turn, tighten the strand and knit 24-29-30-30-32-33 stitches, turn, tighten the strand and knit 32-39-40-40-43-44 stitches back, turn, tighten the strand and knit 40-51-50-50-56-55 stitches, turn, tighten the strand and knit 48-62-60-60-68-66 stitches back, turn, tighten the strand and knit to end of row. Knit 1 row back over all stitches from the wrong side.
PATTERN:
See diagrams A.1 to A.5. The diagrams show all the rows in the pattern seen from the right side. Choose diagram for your size (for diagram A.2).
INCREASE TIP:
To work out how to increase evenly, count the total number of stitches on the row (e.g. 94 stitches), minus the bands (e.g. 10 stitches) and divide the remaining stitches by the number of increases to be made (e.g. 8) = 10.5. In this example, increase alternately after approx. every 10th and 11th stitch. Do not increase over the bands.
Increase 1 stitch by making 1 yarn over. On the next row knit the yarn over twisted to prevent holes.
DECREASE TIP (for mid under the sleeve):
Start 4 stitches before the stitch with the marker thread, knit 2 together, A.5 (= 5 stitches), slip 1 stitch as if to knit, knit 1, pass the slipped stitch over the knitted stitch (= 2 stitches decreased).
BUTTONHOLE:
The first buttonhole is worked on the first row from the right side after the garter stitch edge in the neck, then work the next 5-5-5-6-6-6 buttonholes with approx. 9-9-9-8-8-8 cm / 3½"-3½"-3½"-3"-3"-3" between each.
Decrease to buttonhole on the right band as follows: Work until there are 3 stitches left on the row (seen from the right side), make 1 yarn over, knit 2 together and knit 1. On the next row knit the yarn over so that there is a hole.
----------------------------------------------------------
JACKET:
The piece is worked back and forth with circular needle from mid front. It is worked top down. The sleeves are worked in the round with double pointed needles.
YOKE:
Cast on 94-98-102-106-112-118 stitches (including 5 band stitches in each side towards mid front) with circular needle size 4.5 mm / US 7 and 1 strand Baby Merino + 1 strand Kid-Silk (= 2 strands). Work 2 RIDGES – see description above. Knit 1 row from the right side where you increase 8-13-18-14-17-20 stitches evenly on row – read INCREASE TIP = 102-111-120-120-129-138 stitches. Knit 1 row from the wrong side.
For a better fit, you can now work a small ELEVATION at the back of the neck – see description above. When the elevation has been completed, change to circular needle size 5 mm / US 8. The next row is worked as follows from the right side: 5 band stitches in garter stitch, * A.1 (= 2 stitches), A.2 (= 7 stitches) *, work from *-* until there are 7 stitches left on the row (= 10-11-12-12-13-14 repeats of 9 stitches), work A.1 (= 2 stitches) and finish with 5 band stitches in garter stitch – remember BUTTONHOLE on the right band – see description above. Continue the pattern in this way and increase as shown in the diagram. When A.1/A.2 has been completed 1 time in height, there are 252-276-300-324-350-376 stitches on the row. Work 1-3-7-1-5-1 rows stockinette stitch with 5 band stitches in garter stitch in each side and, at the same time, increase 1-5-9-1-3-1 stitches evenly on the first row = 253-281-309-325-353-377 stitches. The piece now measures approx. 20-21-23-25-27-29 cm / 8''-8¼''-9''-9¾''-10 5/8''-11 3/8'' from the cast-on edge (measured mid front). (If the measurements do not match, you can continue working stockinette stitch with 5 band stitches in garter stitch in each side towards mid front until the piece is the right length).
The next row is worked as follows from the right side: Work the first 41-44-48-51-56-61 stitches in garter stitch and stockinette stitch as before (= left front piece), place the next 50-58-64-66-70-72 stitches on 1 thread (= left sleeve), cast on 7-7-7-9-9-9 new stitches on the needle (= in the side under the sleeve), work the next 71-77-85-91-101-111 stitches in stockinette stitch as before (= back piece), place the next 50-58-64-66-70-72 stitches on 1 thread (= right sleeve), cast on 7-7-7-9-9-9 new stitches on the needle (= in the side under the sleeve) and work the remaining 41-44-48-51-56-61 stitches in stockinette stitch and garter stitch as before (= right front piece). The body and sleeves are now finished separately. THE PIECE IS NOW MEASURED FROM HERE!
BODY:
= 167-179-195-211-231-251 stitches. Insert 1 marker thread in the 45th-48th-52nd-56th-61st-66th stitch in from each side (= 77-83-91-99-109-119 stitches between the stitches with the marker threads on the back piece). Work stockinette stitch with 5 band stitches in garter stitch in each side towards mid front. AT THE SAME TIME on the next row from the right side, work A.3 over the middle 5 stitches in each side (i.e. over the stitches with the marker thread + 2 stitches on either side of these). Continue with stockinette stitch, A.3 in the sides and 5 band stitches in garter stitch in each side towards mid front and increase on the 7th and 15th row in diagram A.3 (= every 8th row in the diagram) until the piece measures 31-32-32-32-32-32 cm / 12 1/4"-12½"-12½"-12½"-12½"-12½" from where the piece was divided. You should now have increased approx. 8 times in each side = approx. 199-211-227-243-263-283 stitches on the row. Change to circular needle size 4.5 mm / US 7. The next row is worked as follows from the right side: 5 band stitches in garter stitch, work A.4A until there are 6 stitches left on the row, work A.4B (= 1 stitch) and finish with 5 band stitches in garter stitch. When A.4 has been completed in height, bind off with knit from the right side. To prevent a tight bind-off edge, you can use a larger needle or make 1 yarn over which is bind off after approx. every 4th stitch. The jacket measures approx. 58-60-62-64-66-68 cm / 22¾''-23 5/8''-24 3/8''-25¼''-26''-26¾'' from the shoulder down.
SLEEVE:
Place the 50-58-64-66-70-72 stitches from the thread on double pointed needles size 5 mm / US 8 and, in addition, knit up 1 stitch in each of the 7-7-7-9-9-9 stitches cast on under the sleeve (= 57-65-71-75-79-81 stitches). Insert a marker thread in the middle stitch under the sleeve. The start of the round is after the 7-7-7-9-9-9 new stitches. Work stockinette stitch in the round, but over the middle 5 stitches under the sleeve (= the stitch with the marker thread + 2 stitches on each side of this stitch) work A.5. When the piece measures 3 cm / 1'' in all sizes, decrease 2 stitches mid under the sleeve – read DECREASE TIP. Decrease in this way every 8th-5th-4th-3rd-3rd-2nd round a total of 6-9-11-11-11-10 times = 45-47-49-53-57-61 stitches. When the piece measures 22-22-21-19-17-15 cm / 8 3/4"-8 3/4"-8 1/4"-7½"-6 3/4"-6" from the transition between yoke and sleeve, insert 3 marker threads in the piece (without working the stitches) as follows: Insert the 1st marker thread at the beginning of the round, insert the 2nd marker thread after 15-16-17-18-19-21 stitches, insert the 3rd marker thread after 15-16-16-18-19-20 stitches = 15-15-16-17-19-20 stitches left on the round after the 3rd marker thread. On the next round, increase 1 stitch after each marker thread by making 1 yarn over (= 3 stitches increased – the yarn overs are knitted twisted on the next round to prevent holes).
Increase in this way every 4th round a total of 6 times = 63-65-67-71-75-79 stitches on the needle. Continue working stockinette stitch and A.5 mid under the sleeve until the piece measures 31-31-30-28-26-24 cm / 12 1/4"-12 1/4"-11 3/4"-11"-10 1/4"-9½"from the transition between yoke and sleeve. Change to double pointed needles size 4.5 mm / US 7. Work A.4A in the round and, at the same time, decrease 1 stitch on the first round = 62-64-66-70-74-78 stitches. When A.4A has been completed, bind off with knit. To avoid a tight bind-off edge, you can use a bigger needle or make 1 yarn over which is bind off after approx. every 4th stitch. The sleeve measures approx. 35-35-34-32-30-28 cm / 13 3/4"-13 3/4"-13½"-12½"-11 3/4"-11" from the transition between yoke and sleeve. Work the other sleeve in the same way.
ASSEMBLY:
Sew the buttons onto the left band.

Hei, lurer på hvordan eg bør vaske dette plagget? SIden de to garnene har jo veldig forskjellig vaskeanvisning.

Hej Anna, Hvis du føler at du er nødt til at vaske jakken (mange vasker ikke uld, de hænger den ud (dog ikke i sollys)) så skal du følge vaskeanvisningen for DROPS Kid-Silk. Sørg for at ikke strikke for løst. Vask separat. Brug ikke skyllemiddel og lad den ligge og tørre. God fornøjelse!
29.06.2022 kl. 10:08Proszę o pomoc w wykonaniu modelu NINEVEH 179-7. Nie wiem co dalej w miejscu TYŁ I PRZÓD od słów W TYM SAMYM CZASIE . Chodzi mi o to , że nie wiem jak ,gdzie i w jakiej ilości wykonać schematy i dodawanie oczek. Jeżeli ktoś może mi pomóc będę bardzo wdzięczna. Pozdrawiam Róża.

Witaj Różo! Dalej przerabiać dżersejem ze schematem A.3 na bokach i dodawać oczka w okrążeniach 7 i 15 schematu A.3 (= co 8 okrążeń schematu) aż długość robótki od jej podziału wynosi 31-32-32-32-32-32 cm. Powodzenia!
21.09.2020 kl. 19:11Jestem w trakcie dziergania modelu NINEVEH Drops 179-7 utknęłam w miejscu , TYŁ I PRZÓD' w momencie , W TYM SAMYM CZASIE' nie wiem czy schemat A3 wykonać pod rękawami i co dalej. Jeżeli ktoś mi pomoże będę wdzięczna. Pozdrawiam Róża.
18.09.2020 - 12:31DROPS Design answered:
Witaj Różo! Schemat A.3 jest wykonywany pod rękawami (ponad 5 oczkami na środku z każdej strony tj. ponad oczkiem z nitką markerem + 2 oczka z każdej strony), i biegnie dalej wzdłuż boków. Na końcu wykonujesz schemat A.4 przez całe okrążenie. Powodzenia!
21.09.2020 kl. 18:58Terminado, ha quedado tal cual el modelo, gracias por hacer el tricotar de forma tan amena, fácil, entretenida y con terminaciones originales y espectaculares.
02.04.2020 - 20:35Pattern 179-8. I have just finished knitting A1 & A2 in the yolk size M. The pattern states that I should have 264 stitched but I only have 253. If I finish on row 39 the stitches of A1 & A2 total stitches knitted is 23 then 11 times also equals 253. Am I reading the pattern incorrectly and missed something? From here I believe I knit next 3 rows in stockinette stitch while increasing on 1st row by 6 stitches which will bring me to 259 not 270
29.10.2019 - 12:32DROPS Design answered:
Dear Lisa, you should increase a total of 7 stitches in each A.2, so that when A.1 and A.2 have been worked you should have 276 stitches in size M: 5 front band stitches, *A.1 = 2 sts, A.2 = 22 sts*, repeat from *-* a total of 11 times, A.1 (= 2 sts), 5 front band sts = 5+ 24x11 (=264 sts) + 2+5= 276 sts. Happy knitting!
04.11.2019 kl. 13:19Drops Pattern 179-7 Nineveh For a lrg ,XL pattern states 300gm (or 1146 yds of Baby Merino & working together with 150gm (1380 yds of Kid-silk. ) So 2 part questions, if working the 2 different yarns,wouldn't I be short approx. 234 yds of Baby Merino. And second question - how many yards of worsted (18stsx24rows) 180yds/per 100 gms. of MM starlette, or it would be lovely in a class 3 (22stsx28rows ) Of DK ,as I think the pattern would be lost in the worsted .
25.10.2019 - 18:13DROPS Design answered:
Dear Mrs Greenside, you need 300 g BabyMerino = 6 balls x 191yds = 1146 yds + 125 g Kid-Silk = 5 balls x 230 yds = 1150 yds (kid-silk = 25 g/ball). You should then have enough both yarn if your tension is right. If you want to work with only 1 strand, you can use 1 strand yarn group C (= 2 strands yarn group A) - read more about this here. Happy knitting!
04.11.2019 kl. 11:23Jag håller på med fram- och bakstyckena nu , har alltså gjort oket klart och satt maskorna för ärmarna på tråd. Men när jag sen stickat ärmarna måste det ju bli ett hål under, som ska monteras ihop med bålen? Eller hur kan jag göra så det blir helt?
17.06.2019 - 21:56DROPS Design answered:
Hei Elisabeth. Når du setter maskene fra tråden tilbake på pinnen for å strikke ermer, skal du samtisdig plukke opp 1 maske i hver av de 7-7-7-9-9-9 maskene du la opp under ermet på bolen. På den måten blir det ingen hull under ermene. God fornøyelse
18.06.2019 kl. 07:49Jag undrar över hur det kan vara möjligt att mönstret stämmer. 17 maskor på bredden = 10 cm enligt deklarationen i mönstret. Men när hålmönstret och ökningarna (A1 och A2) är stickade ska det vara 324 maskor på bredden i stil XL. Nästan 2 meter alltså runt axlarna?
27.05.2019 - 19:01DROPS Design answered:
Hei Elisabeth. Det stemmer, men når du er kommet dit at du har 324 masker, har du alle maskene fra både ermer og bolen på pinnen. Bærestykket er ferdig, og når du så deler inn arbeidet rett etterpå, vil du ha 211 masker til bolen, dvs at brystmålet = ca 118 cm (5-6 cm trekkes fra pga stolpene). God fornøyelse
28.05.2019 kl. 07:29Bonjour J ai commencé le gilet J ai un petit souci de compréhension A-1 (2 m) A-2 (7 m) 9 mailles 2 m end - 1jeté - 1m end - 1jeté - 2 m ens - 1m and - 2 m ens - 1jeté -1m end - 1jeté Je compte 11 mailles Pouvez vous me dire ou je me trompe ???

Bonjour Lena, on tricote le 1er rang de A.2 sur 7 m et on augmente en même temps 2 m, on aura 9 m dans A.2 après le 1er rang, soit 11 m pour A.1 et A.2. Bon tricot!

Hi, The new patterns are beautiful. This one is so dainty! I'm wondering if it is my iPad,but some of the symbols in the key for the diagram aren't showing up e.g., should there be a / in the square for " knit two together"? I only have a blank square. On checking the other new patterns, some random symbols are also missing. Thanks!
