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:

INCREASE/DECREASE TIP:
To work out how to increase/decrease evenly, count the total number of stitches on needle (e.g. 96 stitches) and divide by the number of increases/decreases to be made (e.g. 28) = 3.4.
In this example, increase by making approx. 1 yarn over after alternately every 3rd and 4th stitch. On the next round knit the yarn overs twisted to avoid holes. If you are decreasing, knit together alternately every 3rd and 4th stitch and every 4th and 5th stitch.

PATTERN:
Sweater: See diagrams A.1 to A.3. Choose diagram for your size.
Hat: See diagrams A.4 and A.5.
The whole pattern is worked in stockinette stitch.

KNITTING TIP:
To avoid the knitting gauge becoming tighter when working pattern, it is important that the strands at the back of the piece do not pull. You can use a needle size larger when working pattern if this is a problem.

INCREASE TIP (for sides in body):
Start 2 stitches before marker thread, make 1 yarn over, knit 4 (marker thread sits in middle of these 4 stitches), make 1 yarn over (= 2 stitches increased). On the next round, knit the yarn overs twisted to avoid holes.

DECREASE TIP (for sides in body and mid under sleeve):
Start 3 stitches before marker thread, knit 2 together, knit 2 (marker thread sits in middle of these 2 stitches), slip 1 stitch as if to knit, knit 1, pass the slipped stitch over the knitted stitch (= 2 stitches decreased).
----------------------------------------------------------

SWEATER:
The piece is worked in the round with circular needle from mid back, top down. After the neck you can work an elevation, back and forth mid back of neck to give a better fit, so that the neck is a little higher at the back – this elevation can be skipped – see text. After the elevation, the yoke and body is worked in the round with circular needle. The sleeves are worked in the round with double pointed needles, top down.

NECK:
Cast on 96-99-105-108-111-117 stitches with circular needle size 3 mm / US 2.5 and red. Knit 1 round. Then work rib (knit 1 / purl 2). When the rib measures 3 cm / 1'' knit 1 round where you increase 28-33-39-40-41-43 stitches evenly on round – read INCREASE/DECREASE TIP = 124-132-144-148-152-160 stitches.
Then continue yoke as described below.

YOKE:
Read KNITTING TIP! Change to circular needle size 4 mm / US 6 and knit 1 round.
Now you can work an elevation in back of neck if you wish, or go straight to working the yoke.

ELEVATION IN BACK OF NECK:
Skip this section if you do not wish an elevation.
Insert 1 marker at the beginning of the round = mid back. Start from the right side with red and knit 12-13-14-15-16-17 stitches past the marker, turn, tighten the strand and purl 24-26-28-30-32-34 stitches. Turn, tighten the strand and knit 36-39-42-45-48-51 stitches, turn, tighten the strand and purl 48-52-56-60-64-68 stitches. Turn, tighten the strand and knit 60-65-70-75-80-85 stitches, turn, tighten the strand and purl 72-78-84-90-96-102 stitches. Turn, tighten the strand and knit to mid back.

When the elevation has been completed, work A.1 in the round (= 31-33-36-37-38-40 repeats of 4 stitches). Continue the pattern in this way and increase at the same time on every round marked with an arrow in A.1 as described below – read INCREASE/DECREASE TIP and REMEMBER THE GAUGE!
On the round with arrow-1 increase 28-32-36-36-36-40 stitches evenly on round = 152-164-180-184-188-200 stitches.
On the round with arrow-2 increase 24-28-36-32-36-36 stitches evenly on round = 176-192-216-216-224-236 stitches.
On the round with arrow-3 increase 24-24-28-28-32-36 stitches evenly on round = 200-216-244-244-256-272 stitches.
On the round with arrow-4 increase 24-24-28-28-32-32 stitches evenly on round = 224-240-272-272-288-304 stitches.
When A.1 has been completed work A.2 in the round (= 14-15-17-17-18-19 repeats of 16 stitches). Continue the pattern in this way and increase as shown in the diagram. After the last increase in A.2 there are 280-300-340-374-396-418 stitches on the needle. Continue A.2 and increase at the same time 2-6-2-4-0-2 stitches evenly on the round with arrow-5 in A.2 = 282-306-342-378-396-420 stitches.
When A.2 has been completed, work A.3 in the round (= 47-51-57-63-66-70 repeats of 6 stitches). Continue the pattern in this way. AT THE SAME TIME on the round with arrow-6 in A.3 increase 24-32-20-14-16-22 stitches evenly on round = 306-338-362-392-412-442 stitches. When A.3 has been completed, the piece measures approx. 23-23-23-27-27-27 cm / 9"-9"-9"-10½"-10"-10½" the cast-on edge mid front. Continue with stockinette stitch and light gray until the piece measures 24-26-28-30-32-34 cm / 9½"-10 1/4"-11"-11 3/4"-12½"-13½'' from the cast-on edge mid front.
The next round is worked as follows: Knit 46-50-53-59-63-69 stitches (= ½ back piece), place the next 60-68-74-78-80-82 stitches on a thread for sleeve, cast on 8-8-10-10-12-14 new stitches on needle (= in side under sleeve), knit 93-101-107-118-126-139 stitches (= front piece), place the next 60-68-74-78-80-82 stitches on a thread for sleeve, cast on 8-8-10-10-12-14 new stitches on needle (= in side under sleeve) and knit the remaining 47-51-54-59-63-70 stitches (= ½ back piece). Body and sleeves are now finished separately. THE PIECE IS NOW MEASURED FROM HERE!

BODY:
= 202-218-234-256-276-306 stitches. Insert 1 marker thread in the middle of the 8-8-10-10-12-14 stitches cast on under the sleeve in each side. Start the round by one of the marker threads and work stockinette stitch with light gray. When the piece measures 4 cm / 1½'' from the separation decrease 1 stitch on each side of both marker threads – read DECREASE TIP (= 4 stitches decreased). Repeat the decrease when the piece measures 25 cm / 9 3/4'' = 194-210-226-248-268-298 stitches. Continue until the piece measures 35 cm / 13 3/4'' in all sizes. Knit 1 round where you increase 43-45-50-55-59-65 stitches evenly on round = 237-255-276-303-327-363 stitches.
Change to circular needle size 3 mm / US 2.5 and work rib in the round (= knit 1 / purl 2) for 3 cm / 1''. Bind off with knit over knit and purl over purl, but to avoid the bind-off edge being tight, make 1 yarn over after every 6th stitch AT THE SAME TIME as binding off (the yarn overs are bind off as normal stitches). The sweater measures approx. 62-64-66-68-70-72 cm / 24 3/8''-25¼''-26''-26¾''-27½''-28 3/8'' from the shoulder down.

SLEEVE:
Place the 60-68-74-78-80-82 stitches from the thread in one side of the piece on short circular needle size 4 mm / US 6. In addition, knit up 1 stitch in each of the 8-8-10-10-12-14 stitches cast on under the sleeve = 68-76-84-88-92-96 stitches on needle. Insert 1 marker thread in the middle of the 8-8-10-10-12-14 stitches (= mid under sleeve). Work stockinette stitch in the round with light gray. When the piece measures 4 cm / 1½'' from the separation, decrease 2 stitches mid under the sleeve – Remember DECREASE TIP. Decrease in this way every 13th-9th-7th-6th-5th-5th round a total of 9-12-15-16-18-19 times = 50-52-54-56-56-58 stitches. When the sleeve measures 45-43-42-40-39-39 cm / 17 3"-17"-16½"-15 3/4"-15 1/4"-15 1/4'' from the separation (shorter measurements in the larger sizes because of longer yoke), knit 1 round where you increase 7-8-6-7-7-8 stitches evenly on round = 57-60-60-63-63-66 stitches. Change to double pointed needles size 3 mm / US 2.5. Work rib in the round (= knit 1 / purl 2) for 3 cm / 1''. Bind off with knit over knit and purl over purl, but to avoid the bind-off edge being tight, make 1 yarn over after every 6th stitch at the same time as binding off (the yarn overs are bind off as normal stitches). The sleeve measures approx. 48-46-45-43-42-41 cm / 19"-18"-17 3/4"-17"-16½"-16'' from the separation and down. Work the other sleeve in the same way.

----------------------------------------------------------

HAT:
The piece is worked in the round with circular needle, bottom up. Change to double pointed needles when necessary.
Cast on 114-123 stitches with circular needle size 3 mm / US 2.5 and red. Knit 1 round. Then work rib (= knit 1 / purl 2) for 2 cm / 3/4''. Knit 1 round where you decrease 2-3 stitches evenly on round – read INCREASE/DECREASE TIP = 112-120 stitches. Change to circular needle size 3.5 mm / US 4 and work pattern A.4 (= 28-30 repeats of 4 stitches). REMEMBER THE GAUGE! On the last round of A.4 increase 2-0 stitches evenly on round = 114-120 stitches. Then work A.5 in the round (= 19-20 repeats of 6 stitches). When A.5 has been completed the piece measures approx. 7 cm / 2¾''. Continue with stockinette stitch and light gray. When the piece measures 18-20 cm / 7"-8'' decrease 2-0 stitches evenly on round = 112-120 stitches. Insert 8 marker threads in the piece with 14-15 stitches between each. On the next round decrease 1 stitch after each marker thread by knitting 2 stitches together (= 8 stitches decreased). Decrease in this way every 2nd round a total of 9 times = 40-48 stitches. On the next round knit all stitches together 2 and 2 = 20-24 stitches. Cut the strand, pull it through the remaining stitches, tighten and fasten well. The hat measures approx. 27-29 cm / 10½"-11½'' from the top down.

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.

Jag är så besviken. Jag har stickat en dam och en herr narviktröja i merino extra fine. När jag tvättat dem i maskin 40 grader blev de en till två storlekar större. Läste extra noga på er hemsida vad som gällde för garnet. Varför blir det så? Har ni något förslag på vad jag kan göra för att tröjorna ska kunna användas? /Lena

DROPS Design answered:

Hei Lena. Det var kjedelig å høre. Den spesielle oppbyggingen av DROPS Merino Extra Fine gjør garnet ekstra elastisk. Det er derfor viktig å ha riktig strikkefasthet for å unngå at plagget strekkes. Ved vask må også vaske anvisningen følges (ikke ullvask eller finvask) og den må tørkes flatt i fasong. Ha hørt at mange som har vasket plagg i Merino feil (har blitt for stor), har tørket den i tørketrommel. Har da fått størrelsen og fasong tilbake. Kanskje verdt et forsøk? mvh DROPS design

If you want to avoid the jog (or "step") at the beginning of each fair-isle round, go to Youtube and search for "jogless jog". There are techniques that make the start of the new round almost invisible in the fair isle. Happy knitting!

Hallo, gibt es einen Trick, wie man die Stufe am Rundenanfang verhindert, die entsteht, wenn man ein Norweger-Fair Isle Muster in Runden strickt? Die Methode mit dem Aufheben der unteren Masche wie im Vido erklärt fällt auf, wenn man sie mehrere Runden hintereinander macht. Viele Grüße/ Hello, is there a trick on how to avoid the "step" at the beginning of each round that comes from circular knitting? The method described in the video is unfortunately visible. Greetings

Guten Abend! Ich möchte zur Bestimmung der zu strickenden Größe gern wissem wie sich das Garn nach dem Waschen verhält. Für diese Anleitung habe ich mir die Drops Lima ausgesucht. Mir ist so, als würde Schurwolle nach dem Waschen ein wenig 'ausleiern', also das Strickobjekt größer werden?! Dann müsste ich für die gewünschte Größe XL (eigentlich nur wegen der breiten Schultern) eine L stricken? Viele Grüße!

Liebe Christina, am besten waschen Sie immer Ihre Maschenprobe bevor Sie das Modell stricken, Maschenprobe auch mal trocknen lassen, und nochmal messen, und wenn nötig die Nadlegrösse anpassen. Ihr DROPS Laden wird für Sie noch mehr Tipps haben. Viel Spaß beim stricken!

Jeg har strikket en annen genser hvor det også skulle legges ut masker nederst på bolen før man skulle strikke vrangbord. Det ble ikke pent, altfor romslig. Jeg tok det opp igjen og strikket vrangborden uten å legge opp nye masker, og det ble bedre. Jeg kommer ikke til å øke maskeantallet før jeg strikker vrangborden nederst på denne.

Stemmer det virkelig at man skal legge ut masker like før vrangborden nederst på genseren? Det normale er jo at det er færre masker i vrangborden.

Hej Hvorfor er der valgt at udtagning gøres med omslag i stedet for at gøre det med usynlige udtagning som i også har i jeres teknik videoer? Med venlig hilsen Mette

DROPS Design answered:

Hej Mette, vi vælger gerne at bruge lidt forskellige udtagninger, men du skal naturligvis bare bruge den du synes bliver pænest. God fornøjelse!
