GARTER STITCH (back and forth):
1 ridge = knit 2 rows.
PATTERN:
See diagrams A.1 to A.9. Diagrams show all rows in pattern seen from the right side.
DECREASE TIP:
Decrease 1 stitch by knitting 2 together.
INCREASE TIP:
Increase 1 stitch by making a yarn over. On next row work yarn overs twisted to avoid holes.
KNITTING TIP:
To make the band lay nicely where decrease for neck begins work a short row over the outermost 4 stitches in garter stitch towards mid front.
When working A.7a work the short row from right side of piece as follows: Work all stitches on needle, turn and knit over the 4 stitches in band, turn, knit over the 4 stitches in band, turn and work back over all stitches.
When working A.7b work the short row from right side of piece as follows: Knit over the 4 stitches in band, turn and knit over the 4 stitches in band, turn and work as before over all stitches.
----------------------------------------------------------
TUNIC:
Piece is worked back and forth bottom up in parts and sewn together when finished.
FRONT PIECE:
Cast on 99-117-135-153 stitches on circular needle size 5 mm with Paris. Work 2 ridges in GARTER STITCH - see explanation above. Work pattern as follows: 4 stitches in garter stitch, A.1 (= 10 stitches), A.2 (= 18 stitches) 4-5-6-7 times in width, A.3 (= 9 stitches), 4 stitches in garter stitch. After first row in A.1 to A.3 there are 89-105-121-137 stitches on needle. REMEMBER THE KNITTING TENSION! When A.1 to A.3 have been worked, continue with stocking stitch and 4 stitches in garter stitch in each side until piece measures 26-28-30-32 cm. Now work pattern, AT THE SAME TIME on first row decrease 2-0-4-2 stitches evenly – read DECREASE TIP (but not over stitches in garter stitch) as follows: 4 stitches in garter stitch, A.4 until 5 stitches remain, work first stitch in A.4, 4 stitches in garter stitch = 87-105-117-135 stitches. On next to last row in A.4 increase 3-1-5-3 stitches evenly – read INCREASE TIP (but not over stitches in garter stitch) = 90-106-122-138 stitches. Work last row from wrong side as follows: Work the first 45-53-61-69 stitches before slipping them on a stitch holder for right front piece. Continue over the last 45-53-61-69 stitches (= left front piece).
LEFT FRONT PIECE:
= 45-53-61-69 stitches. Insert a marker thread here. NOW MEASURE PIECE FROM HERE! Work pattern from right side as follows: 4 stitches in garter stitch, A.5a (= 2 stitches), A.5b (= 4 stitches) over the next 8-16-24-32 stitches, A.5c (= 3 stitches), A.6 (= 5 stitches), A.7a (= 23 stitches). Continue pattern like this. When piece measures 10-10-8-8 cm, cast on 8 new stitches at the end of next row from wrong side = 53-61-69-77 stitches. Continue pattern from right side as follows: 4 stitches in garter stitch, A.5a, A.5b over the next 16-24-32-40 stitches, and continue A.5c, A.6 and A.7a as before. On row with star in A.7a work a short row so that band lays nicely - read KNITTING TIP! When entire A.7a has been worked vertically, there are 44-52-60-68 stitches for shoulder and piece measures approx. 38 cm in all sizes. Work 1 ridge over all stitches. Cast off - make sure that the cast-off edge is not too tight! Piece measures approx. 68-70-72-74 cm from shoulder and down.
RIGHT FRONT PIECE:
= 45-53-61-69 stitches. Insert a marker thread here. NOW MEASURE PIECE FROM HERE! Work pattern from right side as follows: A.7b (= 23 stitches), A.6 (= 5 stitches), A.8a (= 3 stitches), A.8b (= 4 stitches) over the next 8-16-24-32 stitches, A.8c (= 2 stitches), 4 stitches in garter stitch. Continue pattern like this. When piece measures 10-10-8-8 cm, cast on 8 new stitches at the end of next row from right side = 53-61-69-77 stitches. Work 1 row in pattern as before but knit over the new stitches cast on. Continue pattern from right side as follows: A.7b, A.6 (= 5 stitches), A.8a, A.8b over the next 16-24-32-40 stitches, A.8c, 4 stitches in garter stitch. On row with star in A.7b work a short row the same way as on left band but reversed, so that band lays nicely - remember KNITTING TIP! When entire A.7b has been worked vertically, there are 44-52-60-68 stitches for shoulder and piece measures approx. 38 cm in all sizes. Work 1 ridge over all stitches. Cast off - make sure that the cast-off edge is not too tight! Piece measures approx. 68-70-72-74 cm from shoulder and down.
BACK PIECE:
Cast on and work the same way as on front piece until A.4. Piece now measures 26-28-30-32 cm. Now work pattern, AT THE SAME TIME on first row decrease 2-0-4-2 stitches evenly (but not over stitches in garter stitch) as follows: 4 stitches in garter stitch, A.4 until 5 stitch remain, work first stitch in A.4, 4 stitches in garter stitch = 87-105-117-135 stitches. On next to last row in A.4 increase 4-2-6-4 stitches evenly = 91-107-123-139 stitches. When entire A.4 is done, insert a marker thread here. NOW MEASURE PIECE FROM HERE!
Work pattern as follows: 4 stitches in garter stitch, A.5a (= 2 stitches), A.5b (= 4 stitches) over the next 8-16-24-32 stitches, A.5c (= 3 stitches), A.6 (= 5 stitches), A.9a (= 47 stitches), A.6 (= 5 stitches), A.8a (= 3 stitches), A.8b (= 4 stitches) over the next 8-16-24-32 stitches, A.8c (= 2 stitches), 4 stitches in garter stitch. When the first 2 rows in A.9a have been worked, repeat A.9b 3 times in total vertically, AT THE SAME TIME when piece measures 10-10-8-8 cm, cast on 8 new stitches at the end of the next 2 rows for sleeves = 107-123-139-155 stitches. Continue pattern as follows from right side: 4 stitches in garter stitch, A.5a (= 2 stitches), A.5b (= 4 stitches) over the next 16-24-32-40 stitches, A.5c (= 3 stitches), A.6 (= 5 stitches), A.9a (= 47 stitches), A.6 (= 5 stitches), A.8a (= 3 stitches), A.8b (= 4 stitches) over the next 16-24-32-40 stitches, A.8c (= 2 stitches), 4 stitches in garter stitch. When A.9b has been done 3 times in total vertically, work the last 4 rows in diagram A.9a. Work next row from right side as follows: Work pattern as before over the first 30-38-46-54 stitches, work A.9c (= 14 stitches), and slip these 44-52-60-68 stitches on a stitch holder (= right shoulder), cast off the next 19 stitches for neck, work A.9d (= 14 stitches), work the last 30-38-46-54 stitches as before. Now work back and forth over the last 44-52-60-68 stitches worked after decrease for neck (= left shoulder). Continue back and forth until A.9d has been worked vertically. Work 1 ridge over all the 44-52-60-68 stitches. Cast off - make sure that the cast-off edge is not too tight! Piece measures approx. 68-70-72-74 cm from shoulder and down. Slip the 44-52-60-68 stitches from stitch holder back on circular needle size 5 mm and continue pattern back and forth until A.9c has been worked. Work 1 ridge over all the 44-52-60-68 stitches. Cast off - make sure that the cast-off edge is not too tight. Piece measures approx. 68-70-72-74 cm from shoulder and down.
ASSEMBLY:
Sew shoulder seams with grafting/kitchener stitch - make sure the seam is not tight. Sew seam under sleeves and continue down the body until first row in A.4 to make a vent in the side from A.4 and down. Repeat in the other side.
Sew band together mid front by sewing in outermost loop of one and one stitch upwards from first row in A.7a/A.7b and until approx. 7 ridges remain before neck decrease begins.
TWINED STRING AND TASSELS:
Cut 2 lengths of yarn of 65 cm. Twine the strands together until they resist, fold the string double so that it twines again. Make a knot at each end. Thread the string through each of the bands approx. 12 rows above the neck decrease and make a knot. Cut 15 lengths of yarn of 18 cm. Thread them through end on the twined string and distribute so that they are even. Place a strand around the tassel, tighten and make a knot. Repeat on the other end of string so that there is a tassel in each end of string.

Do you need help with this pattern?
Thank you for choosing a DROPS Design pattern. We take pride in providing patterns that are correct and easy to understand. All patterns are translated from Norwegian and you can always check the original pattern (DROPS 187-16) for measurements and calculations.
Are you having trouble following the pattern? See below for a list of resources to help you finish your project in no time - or why not, learn something new.
Each of our patterns has specific tutorial videos to help you.
1) 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
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.
3) 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?
4) 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.
5) 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
6) 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.
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.
9) 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
10) 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
11) 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
12) 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.
14) 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)
15) 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
16) 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!
17) 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
18) 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?
19) 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.
20) 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.
21) 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.
22) 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 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.
On a jacket measures are never taken along bands, unless specifically stated. Always measure inside band stitches when measuring the length.
See DROPS lesson: How to read a schematic drawing
23) 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.
