INFORMATION FOR THE PATTERN: RIDGE/GARTER STITCH (worked back and forth): 1 ridge = Knit 2 rows. PATTERN: See diagrams A.1 to A.5. Choose diagram for your size (applies to A.1, A.3 and A.5) The diagrams show all the rows in the pattern seen from the right side. DECREASE TIP-1 (evenly spaced): To work out how to decrease evenly, count the total number of stitches on the needle (e.g. 104 stitches) minus the stitches you are not decreasing over (e.g. 2 edge stitches in garter stitch) and divide the remaining number of stitches by the number of decreases to be made (e.g. 13) = 7.8. In this example, knit approx. every 7th and 8th stitch together. DECREASE TIP-2: All decreases are made from the right side! Decrease as follows before the 1 edge stitch in garter stitch: work until there are 3 stitches left on the row, knit 2 together, 1 edge stitch in garter stitch. Decrease as follows after the 1 edge stitch in garter stitch: Slip 1 stitch as if to knit, knit 1, pass the slipped stitch over the knitted stitch. INCREASE TIP: All increases are made from the right side! Increase 1 stitch by making 1 yarn over. On the next row, purl the yarn over twisted to avoid a hole. ---------------------------------------------------------- SWEATER: The piece is worked back and forth with circular needle, bottom up. You work lace pattern on the front piece. The back piece is worked in stockinette stitch. The sleeves are worked in stockinette stitch, back and forth with circular needle, bottom up. BACK PIECE: Cast on 104-114-124-134-144-159 stitches with circular needle size 4 mm / US 6 and 1 strand Alpaca + 1 strand Kid-Silk (= 2 strands). Work rib from the right side as follows: 1 edge stitch in garter stitch, purl 2, (knit 3 / purl 2) until there is 1 stitch left, 1 edge stitch in garter stitch. Continue like this until the rib measures 4 cm / 1½". Change to circular needle size 5 mm / US 8. Knit 1 row from the right side where you decrease 13-15-17-21-21-24 stitches evenly on row (but not over the edge stitches in garter stitch) – read DECREASE TIP-1 (evenly spaced) = 91-99-107-113-123-135 stitches. Continue with stockinette stitch and 1 edge stitch in garter stitch in each side. REMEMBER THE GAUGE! When the piece measures 5 cm / 2" decrease 1 stitch in each side – read DECREASE TIP-2. Decrease like this approx. every 16-17-12-18-20-13 cm / 6¼"-6¾"-4¾"-7"-8"-5" a total of 3-3-4-3-3-4 times = 85-93-99-107-117-127 stitches. When the piece measures 40-43-45-45-48-47 cm / 15¾"-17"-17¾"-17¾"-19"-18½" bind off for the armhole in each side every 2nd row as follows: bind off 4 stitches 1 time, 2 stitches 0-2-2-3-5-7 times and 1 stitch 1-1-2-2-3-2 times = 75-75-79-83-83-87 stitches. Continue with stockinette stitch and 1 edge stitch in garter stitch in each side. When the piece measures 53-57-60-61-65-65 cm / 21"-22½"-23½"-24"-25½"-25½" work garter stitch over the middle 25-25-25-25-25-27 stitches on the row. When you have worked 2 ridges over these stitches, bind off the middle 19-19-19-19-19-21 stitches for the neck and each shoulder is finished separately. There are now 28-28-30-32-32-33 stitches on each shoulder. Continue with stockinette stitch, 3 stitches in garter stitch towards the neck and 1 edge stitch in garter stitch towards the armhole. When the piece measures 56-60-63-64-68-68 cm / 22"-23½"-24¾"-25¼"-26¾"-26¾" bind off. Make sure that the bind-off edge is not tight. Work the other shoulder in the same way. FRONT PIECE: Cast on 105-115-129-133-143-157 stitches with circular needle size 4 mm / US 6 and 1 strand Alpaca + 1 strand Kid-Silk (= 2 strands).

Continue like this back and forth until the diagrams have been completed in height. There are now 91-101-115-119-129-143 stitches on the needle. Change to circular needle size 5 mm / US 8. Now work pattern from the right side as follows: 1 edge stitch in garter stitch, knit the first 8-13-18-18-23-28 stitches at the same time as you decrease 0-1-4-3-3-4 stitches evenly over these stitches (= 8-12-14-15-20-24 stitches in stockinette stitch inside the 1 edge stitch in garter stitch in the side), purl 2-2-3-2-2-3 stitches, A.3 (choose diagram for your size = 22-22-22-26-26-26 stitches), purl 2-2-3-2-2-3 stitches, A.4 (= 21 stitches), purl 2-2-3-2-2-3 stitches, A.3 (choose diagram for your size = 22-22-22-26-26-26 stitches), purl 2-2-3-2-2-3 stitches, knit the next 8-13-18-18-23-28 stitches at the same time as you decrease 0-1-4-3-3-4 stitches over these stitches (= 8-12-14-15-20-24 stitches in stockinette stitch inside the 1 edge stitch in garter stitch in the side), 1 edge stitch in garter stitch = 91-99-107-113-123-135 stitches.

¡Hola! He intentado hacer este precioso jersey pero las medidas no son correctas. La V del cuello está demasiado arriba y la cabeza no entra de ninguna manera, para que sea aceptable la obertura tendría que ser a la tercera repetición del esquema A4 y no 4 ó 5 veces. Las mangas también son demasiado estrechas Creo que e su página es genial. Muchas gracias por las ideas. Eleni Stefanou
