Pattern instructions

NOTE: This pattern is written in American English. All measurements in charts are in cm. For conversion from inches to cm - click here. There are different terms for crocheting in American and British English. If this pattern includes crochet, click for "crochet terms" here. For this pattern in British English, please click here.
INFORMATION FOR THE PATTERN:

DECREASE TIP:
To work out how to decrease evenly, count the number of stitches to be decreased over (e.g. 25 stitches) and divide by the number of decreases to be made (e.g. 5) = 5. In this example, knit every 4th and 5th stitch together.

PATTERN:
See diagrams A.1 and A.2. Choose diagram for your size. The diagrams show all the rows in the pattern seen from the right side.

INCREASE TIP (for mid under sleeve):
Start 1 stitch after the marker thread, make 1 yarn over, work until there is 1 stitch left on the round, make 1 yarn over and knit 1 (= 2 stitches increased). On the next round knit the yarn overs twisted to prevent holes.
----------------------------------------------------------

SWEATER:
The piece is worked in the round with circular needle as far as the armholes, then the front and back pieces are continued separately, back and forth on the needle. The sleeves are worked in the round with double pointed needles.

BODY:
Cast on 120-128-136-144-152-160 stitches with circular needle size 4.5 mm / US 7. Knit 1 round. Then work rib (= knit 1 / purl 1) for 4 cm / 1½''. Change to circular needle SIZE 5.5 mm/US 9 / US 9. Insert 1 marker thread at the beginning of the round (= in the side). The next round is worked as follows: Knit the first 21-23-25-25-27-29 stitches and, at the same time, decrease 4 stitches evenly over these stitches – read DECREASE TIP, work A.1 (choose diagram for your size = 19-19-19-23-23-23 stitches increased to 20-20-20-24-24-24 stitches on the first round), knit 21-23-25-25-27-29 stitches and, at the same time, decrease 4 stitches evenly over these stitches, insert 1 marker thread (= in the side), knit the next 59-63-67-71-75-79 stitches and decrease 9-9-9-11-11-11 stitches evenly over these stitches. There are now 54-58-62-66-70-74 stitches between the marker threads on the front piece and 50-54-58-60-64-68 stitches on the back piece = a total of 104-112-120-126-134-142 stitches on the needle. The next round is worked as follows: 17-19-21-21-23-25 stitches stockinette stitch, continue A.1 (= 20-20-20-24-24-24 stitches) and work stockinette stitch to end of round. Continue the pattern in this way. When A.1 has been completed, work A.2 over these 20-20-20-24-24-24 stitches. Repeat A.2 upwards. When the piece measures 23-26-29-32-35-38 cm / 9"-10 1/4"-11½"-12½"-13 3/4"-15'' bind off 6 stitches in each side for the armhole (bind off 3 stitches on each side of both marker threads). The front and back pieces are now finished separately.

BACK PIECE:
= 44-48-52-54-58-62 stitches. Work stockinette stitch back and forth and bind off for the armholes at the beginning of each row in each side as follows: bind off 2 stitches 1 time in each side and then 1 stitch 1-1-2-1-1-2 times in each side = 38-42-44-48-52-54 stitches. When the piece measures 34-38-42-46-50-54 cm / 13½"-15"-16½"-18"-19 3/4"-21 1/4'' bind off the middle 16-18-20-22-22-24 stitches for the neck and each shoulder is finished separately. Continue by binding off 1 stitch on next row from the neck = 10-11-11-12-14-14 stitches left on the shoulder. Continue working until the piece measures 36-40-44-48-52-56 cm / 14 1/4"-15 3/4"-17 1/4"-19"-20½"-22'' and bind off. Work the other shoulder in the same way.

FRONT PIECE:
= 48-52-56-60-64-68 stitches. Continue with stockinette stitch and A.2 and bind off for the armholes at the beginning of each row in each side as follows: bind off 2 stitches 1 time in each side and then 1 stitch 1-1-2-1-1-2 times in each side = 42-46-48-54-58-60 stitches. Continue working stockinette stitch and A.2 until the piece measures 31-34-38-41-45-48 cm / 12 1/4"-13½"-15"-16"-17 3/4"-19''. On the next row knit together the 10-10-10-12-12-12 stitches over the cable mid front, 2 and 2 (= 5-5-5-6-6-6 stitches decreased). On the next row, place the middle 9-11-13-14-14-16 stitches on 1 thread for the neck and each shoulder is finished separately. Continue to bind off for the neck at the beginning of each row from the neck as follows: bind off 2 stitches 1 time and then 1 stitch 2-2-2-3-3-3 times = 10-11-11-12-14-14 stitches left on the shoulder. Continue working until the piece measures 36-40-44-48-52-56 cm / 14 1/4"-15 3/4"-17 1/4"-19"-20½"-22'' and bind off. Work the other shoulder in the same way.

SLEEVE:
Cast on 32-32-34-34-36-36 stitches with double pointed needles size 4.5 mm / US 7. Knit 1 round. Then work rib (= knit 1 / purl 1) for 4 cm / 1½''. Change to double pointed needles SIZE 5.5 mm/US 9 / US 9. Insert 1 marker thread at the beginning of the round (= mid under the sleeve). Knit 1 round where you decrease 4 stitches evenly on round in all sizes – read DECREASE TIP = 28-28-30-30-32-32 stitches. Continue to work stockinette stitch in the round. When the piece measures 6 cm / 2 3/8'' increase 2 stitches mid under the sleeve – read INCREASE TIP. Increase in this way every 3-3-4-3½-4½-3½ cm / 1 1/8"-1 1/8"-1½"-1 1/4"-1 3/4"-1 1/4'' a total of 6-7-7-8-8-10 times = 40-42-44-46-48-52 stitches. When the piece measures 24-28-32-35-39-42 cm / 9½"-11"-12½"-13 3/4"-15 1/4"-16½'' bind off 6 stitches mid under the sleeve (bind off 3 stitches on each side of the marker thread). Change to circular needle SIZE 5.5 mm/US 9 and work the sleeve cap back and forth in stockinette stitch at the same time as you bind off at the beginning of each row in each side as follows: bind off 2 stitches 1-2-2-2-2-3 times in each side and then 1 stitch 1 time in each side. Continue by binding off 2 stitches at the beginning of each row in each side until the piece measures 29-34-38-42-46-50 cm / 11½"-13½"-15"-16½"-18"-19 3/4''. Bind off 3 stitches at the beginning of the next 2 rows and then bind off the remaining stitches. The sleeve measures approx. 30-35-39-43-47-51 cm / 11 3/4"-13 3/4"-15 1/4"-17"-18½"-20'' from the top down. Work another sleeve in the same way.

ASSEMBLY:
Sew the shoulder seams. Sew in the sleeves.

NECKLINE:
Start mid back of neck and knit up from the right side approx. 40 to 62 stitches around the neck (including the stitches on the thread in front) with short circular needle size 4.5 mm / US 7. Knit 1 round where you increase evenly to 54-64-66-70-70-76 stitches. Continue by working rib in the round (= knit 1 / purl 1) for 3 cm / 1''. Change to circular needle SIZE 5.5 mm/US 9 and bind off with knit over knit and purl over purl.

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

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 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

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.

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 gauge tension 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 (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

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.

Thank you for your response to my first question. It worked. But now, I do not understand this instruction, "On the next row knit together the 10-10-10-12-12-12 stitches over the cable mid front, 2 and 2 (= 5-5-5-6-6-6 stitches decreased). This is from the instructions for the front. Please explain. I have tried to figure it out on my own, but have no idea.

13.10.2022 - 07:59

DROPS Design answered:

Dear Mrs Cossarini, you need more stitches for the cable than for stocking stitch, so that you need to decrease the number of stitches in the cable to avoid the neck loosing its shape (become wider than expected), you have then to work K2 tog a total of 5 or 6 times accross the knitted stitches in the diagram to decrease 5 or 6 stitches. Happy knitting!

This is my first time knitting a sweater in the round. I have completed the main part of the body and do not quite understand how to do the dividing row between front and back. Is there a video I can watch or an explanation I can read. I love the pattern so far, and the sweater is turning out beautifully. thank you.

09.10.2022 - 07:09

DROPS Design answered:

Dear Darlene, you should have a marker inserted in each side. Cast off 3 stitches on each side of each marker (6 in total for each armhole). For example, from the beginning on the row on one side, cast off 3 stitches, work according to the pattern until 3 stitches remain before the next marker, cast off the next 6 stitches (the marker should be in the middle of these stitches; remove the marker). Work according to the pattern until 3 stitches remain in the round and cast off these 3 stitches. Now cut the thread and work the stitches on the front and the back separately. Happy knitting!

Bonjour Françoise et merci, ces diminutions et augmentations sont effectivement indispensables pour bien conserver la bonne largeur (le nombre de mailles en côtes, torsades et jersey n'est pas le même pour la même largeur car les côtes et les torsades resserrent l'ouvrage). Bon tricot!

I am knitting Drops 30-13. I do not understand the instruction or reason for YO between stitch 12 and 13 on the diagram . Is this an increase? Why is there a YO in the middle of the cable? This would increase the stitch count from 24 to 25 for the center cable. Please clarify.

16.02.2021 - 17:55

DROPS Design answered:

Hi Mary Jane, The yarn over is on the last row of the rib, so will not affect the cabling. The extra stitch means there is now an even number of stocking stitches on each side of the cable. Happy knitting!

DROPS Design answered:

Dear Mrs Baldwin, you will find requested amount of yarn for each size at the beginning of the pattern, ie in the header, together with the sizes and the needle size / tension. For ex in size 2 years you need here 150 g DROPS Air / 50 g a ball = 3 balls DROPS Air in the first size / or 300 g DROPS Paris/50 g a ball = 6 balls DROPS Paris in the first size. Happy knitting!

DROPS Design answered:

Bonjour Mme Taquoi, pour la même largeur, il faudra moins de mailles jersey que de mailles en côtes mais pour avoir la bonne largeur, il faudra plus de mailles pour les torsades, raison pour laquelle on va -sur un même tour- diminuer dans les mailles jersey et augmenter au 1er rang de A.1. À la fin de ce rang vous devez avoir entre 54 et 74 m selon la taille et vous pouvez maintenant tricoter la torsade. Bon tricot!

Dear Mrs Moleta, in size 7 years you start with 144 sts and work as follows after ribbed edge: Knit the first 25 sts decreasing 4 stitches evenly (= 21 sts remain), A.1 (= 23 sts increased to 24 sts on the first round), knit 25 sts decreasing 4 sts evenly (= 21 sts remain), insert 1 marker thread, knit the next 71 sts decreasing 11 sts evenly (=60 sts remain) = a total of 126 sts (=21+24+21 for the front piece + 60 sts for the back piece). Happy knitting!

Ca fait maintenant plus de trente ans que je tricote et je n'ai jamais vu d'explications aussi compliquées, vous embrouillez à souhait les explications; = 1 maille endroit sur l'endroit, envers sur l'envers = 1 maille envers sur l'endroit, endroit sur l'envers c'est du jersey endroit tout simplement, comment voulez-vous que personne débutante si retrouve, malgré mon expérience, j'ai un mal fou à déchiffrer vos explications.

Bonjour Mme Pietrement, si 1 m endroit sur l'endroit, envers sur l'envers correspond à du jersey endroit (= mailles des torsades), 1 m envers sur l'endroit et endroit sur l'envers correspond à du jersey envers (avant et après les torsades), si vous préférez utilisez des termes plus techniques. Bon tricot!
