EXPLANATION FOR THE PATTERN:
----------------------------------------------------------
INCREASE TIP (evenly):
To calculate how to increase evenly, use the total number of stitches on row (e.g. 76 stitches) and divide stitches by number of increases to be done (e.g. 8) = 9.5.
In this example increase by making 1 yarn over after alternately every 9th and 10th stitch. On next round knit yarn over twisted to avoid holes.
PATTERN:
See diagram A.1. Work pattern in stockinette stitch.
KNITTING TIP:
To avoid the garment losing elasticity when working pattern, it is important not to tighten the strands on back side of piece. Switch to a higher needle number when working pattern if the pattern is somewhat tight.
RAGLAN:
Increase 1 stitch on each side of the 4 marker threads in every transition between sleeves and body as follows: Work until 1 stitch remains before marker thread, 1 yarn over, knit 2 (marker thread is in the middle of these stitches), 1 yarn over (= 8 stitches increased on round). On next round knit yarns over twisted to avoid holes. Then work the new stitches in stockinette stitch.
DECREASE TIP (applies to sleeves):
Decrease 1 stitch on each side of marker thread as follows: Work until 3 stitches remain before marker thread and knit 2 together, knit 2 (marker thread is between these stitches), slip 1 stitch knitwise, knit 1, pass slipped stitch over stitch worked.

START THE PIECE HERE:
----------------------------------------------------------
SWEATER - SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE:
Worked in the round on circular needle, top down. After yoke work body in the round on circular needle. Work sleeves in the round on double pointed needles/a short circular needle.
NECK EDGE:
Cast on 76-80-84-88-92-96 stitches on circular needle size 4.5 mm / US 7 with heather. Knit 1 round. Then work rib (= knit 2/purl 2) for 3 cm / 1''. Knit 1 round while increasing 8-8-8-12-12-12 stitches evenly - read INCREASE TIP = 84-88-92-100-104-108 stitches. Switch to circular needle SIZE 5.5 mm/US 9.
YOKE:
Insert 1 marker thread at beginning of round = mid back. Work A.1 in the round (= 21-22-23-25-26-27 repetitions of 4 stitches) - read PATTERN and KNITTING TIP above. Continue A.1 as shown in diagram. REMEMBER THE GAUGE! When A.1 has been worked, there are 252-264-276-300-312-324 stitches on round and piece measures approx. 23 cm from cast-on edge mid front.
SIZE S:
Continue with stockinette stitch and wheat without increases until piece measures 24 cm from cast-on edge mid front.
SIZE M - L - XL - XXL - XXXL:
Now insert 4 marker threads in the piece without working the stitches first:
Insert first marker thread after the first 40-41-45-48-52 stitches (= half back piece), insert 2nd marker thread after the next 52-56-60-60-58 stitches (= sleeve), insert 3rd marker thread after the next 80-82-90-96-104 stitches (= front piece), and insert 4th marker thread after the next 52-56-60-60-58 stitches (= sleeve), 40-41-45-48-52 stitches remain on round after last marker (= half back piece). Work in stockinette stitch with wheat in the round, AT THE SAME TIME on first round begin increase for RAGLAN – read explanation above. Increase for raglan every 4th round 1-2-2-3-4 times in total. After last increase for raglan there are 272-292-316-336-356 stitches on needle. Continue with stockinette stitch without increases until piece measures 26-27-29-31-33 cm / 10 ¼"-10 5/8"-11 3/8"-12 1/8"-13" from cast-on edge mid front.
ALL SIZES:
Then work with wheat until finished measurements. Work next round in stockinette stitch as follows: Work 38-41-43-47-51-56 stitches (= half back piece), slip the next 50-54-60-64-66-66 stitches on 1 stitch holder for sleeve, cast on 6-6-8-8-10-10 new stitches on needle (= in the side under sleeve), work 76-82-86-94-102-112 stitches (= front piece), slip the next 50-54-60-64-66-66 stitches on 1 stitch holder for sleeve, cast on 6-6-8-8-10-10 new stitches on needle (= in the side under sleeve), work the last 38-41-43-47-51-56 stitches (= half back piece). Finish body and sleeves separately. NOW MEASURE PIECE FROM HERE!
BODY:
= 164-176-188-204-224-244 stitches. Insert 1 marker thread in the middle of the 6-6-8-8-10-10 new stitches that were cast on under sleeve in one of the sides and begin round from here. Work in stockinette stitch in the round. When piece measures 28-28-29-29-29-29 cm / 11"-11"-11 3/8"-11 3/8"-11 3/8"-11 3/8" from division, work 1 round while increasing 28-28-32-32-36-40 stitches evenly = 192-204-220-236-260-284 stitches.
Switch to circular needle size 4.5 mm / US 7 and work rib = knit 2/purl 2 for 3 cm / 1''. Bind off with knit over knit and purl over purl (to avoid a tight bind-off edge use needle SIZE 5.5 mm/US 9). Sweater measures approx. 58-60-62-64-66-68 cm / 22¾''-23 5/8''-24 3/8''-25¼''-26''-26¾'' from shoulder.
SLEEVE:
Slip the 50-54-60-64-66-66 stitches from stitch holder in one side of piece on circular needle/double pointed needles SIZE 5.5 mm/US 9 and pick in addition up 1 stitch in each of the 6-6-8-8-10-10 new stitches cast on under sleeve = 56-60-68-72-76-76 stitches. Insert 1 marker thread in the middle of the 6-6-8-8-10-10 stitches under sleeve and begin round here. Work in stockinette stitch in the round. When piece measures 2 cm / 3/4'' from division, decrease 2 stitches mid under sleeve - read DECREASE TIP. Decrease like this every 3½-3-2-2-1½-1½ cm/1 1/4"-1 1/8"-3/4"-3/4"-½"-½" 10-12-15-16-17-16 times in total = 36-36-38-40-42-44 stitches. Continue until piece measures 39-37-37-35-33-32 cm / 15 ¼"-14 ½"-14 ½"-13 ¾"-13"-12 ½" from division (shorter measurements in the larger sizes because of longer yoke). Knit 1 round while increasing 4-4-2-4-2-4 stitches evenly = 40-40-40-44-44-48 stitches. Switch to double pointed needles size 4.5 mm / US 7 and work rib = knit 2/purl 2 for 3 cm / 1''. Sleeve measures approx. 42-40-40-38-36-35 cm / 16 ½"-15 ¾"-15 ¾"-14 7/8"-14 1/8"-13 ¾" from division. Bind off with knit over knit and purl over purl (to avoid a tight bind-off edge use needle SIZE 5.5 mm/US 9). Work the other sleeve the same way.

Hejsa er meget glad for jeres garn og opskrifter. vedr. model drops 196-15, model ai-146, vil strikke den til min veninde så derfor mindre end opskriften lyder, har strikket den til mig selv på pinde nr. 5, og kunne strikke den på 4.5 men bliver for tæt, og blødere med pinde 5, kan ikke lige overskue opskriften og tage færre masker, hvad er muligt? med venlig hilsen Lisbeth

Hei Lisbeth. Beklager, men design avd har ikke mulighet til å regne om en allerede skrevet oppskrift. mvh DROPS Design
08.05.2023 kl. 08:46Good morning I am knitting Womens Nordic Jumper DROPS 196-15 Can you please explain why I need to cast on 28 stitches in the body just before starting the ribbing? It seems like too many Thank you Patti
23.04.2023 - 13:16DROPS Design answered:
Dear Patti, you need to increase 28 stitches evenly so that the ribbing will not get too tight, since working a rib is usually quite tight and you will also be changing to a smaller needle . Happy knitting!
23.04.2023 kl. 19:43Bonjour, Pouvez vous me dire combien de mailles je dois avoir après le 14ème rang de A1, c'est-à-dire avant de commencer avec le 2ème coloris ? Merci de votre réponse et merci pour tous ces jolis modèles. Cordialement
21.02.2023 - 13:04DROPS Design answered:
Bonjour Mme Vauclin, après le 14ème tour de A.1 vous avez 10 mailles dans chaque A.1, au 15ème tour, tricotez *5 m bruyère, 1 m blé, 4 m bruyère*, et répétez de *-* tout le tour. Bon tricot!
21.02.2023 kl. 17:46Jeg forstår ikke hvorfor der skal tages masker ud lige inden ribkanten for neden Hvis den var strikket nedefra ville man tage ud efter rib
01.11.2021 - 22:15DROPS Design answered:
Hej Lene, det er fordi du strikker ribkanten på tyndere pinde og rib trækker arbejdet sammen. Denne model er det ikke tænkt at det skal være en stram ribkant nederst. :)
02.11.2021 kl. 14:41Hei! Fint mønster, men jeg skjønner ikke … Det står at det er en genser med rundfelling, men i oppskriften står det raglan. Er det feil i beskrivelsen på str. S, eller skal den følges? (Har aldri strikket raglan før.)
11.10.2021 - 09:21DROPS Design answered:
Hei Janne. På denne genseren er det både rundfelling og raglan. Du strikker bærestykket etter diagram A.1 og det er rundfelling. Strikker du str. S er det ingen raglan økninger, men i str. M - L - XL - XXL - XXXL må det økes mer for å få riktig maskeantall og mål og da økes det raglan ved ermene/se beskrivelsen i oppskriften. mvh DROPS Design
11.10.2021 kl. 15:06Bonjour ! Je voudrais tricoter ce pull mais je trouve l' encolure trop échancrée . Pour remédier à ce problème, suffirait-il de prolonger le bord-côtes ? Merci beaucoup .

Bonjour Marianne, nous ne sommes malheureusement pas en mesure de pouvoir adapter chacun de nos modèles à chaque demande. Merci de bien vouloir contacter votre magasin, même par mail ou téléphone, pour toute assistance complémentaire. Merci pour votre compréhension.
27.09.2021 kl. 08:34Bonjour, Au 15 ième rang, on tricote 5 mailles roses, 1 maille blé et 4 mailles roses, est-ce qu'on doit faire le rang au complet en faisant toujours 5 mailles roses, 1 maille blé, 4 mailles roses ????? Pourquoi c'est pas toujours 5 mailles, 1 maille, 5 mailles ???
08.01.2021 - 04:35DROPS Design answered:
Bonjour Suzie, vous aurez ainsi 9 mailles en rose à suivre et 1 maille blé au milieu en répétant le motif. Répétez tout le tour (5 m rose, 1 m blé, 4 m rose) . Bon tricot!
08.01.2021 kl. 07:56Bonjour, à quoi servent les 28 augmentations (taille M) en bas du tricot avant de passer aux 3 cms de cotes pour terminer? Si on ne les fait pas le pull est-il trop serré au niveau des hanches? Merci beaucoup
14.12.2020 - 14:20DROPS Design answered:
Bonjour Cebe69, ces augmentations vont permettre à la bordure côtes de ne pas resserrer le bas du pull, car il faut plus de mailles en côtes, avec des aiguilles plus fines pour la même largeur qu'avec des aiguilles plus grosses. Bon tricot!
14.12.2020 kl. 15:57Bonjour je tricote la taille M et si je compte bien j'ai 272 mailles + 8 mailles d'augmentation de raglan soit 280 mailles avant de commencer la séparation manche et corps. Pouvez-vous me dire si c'est cela ou bien où est mon erreur ? Et si j'ai raison combien de mailles je dois laisser pour chaque manche. Merci
05.11.2020 - 07:40DROPS Design answered:
Bonjour Mme Brochard, arpsè le diagramme, vous avez 264 en taille M, vous augmentez ensuite pour le raglan 1 fois 8 m = 272 m (sous le paragraphe TAILLE M – L – XL – XXL – XXXL, la taille M est maintenant la 1ère taille - vous tricotez ensuite vos 272 m ainsi pour diviser: tricotez 41 m, glissez 54 m en attente et montez 6 m, tricotez 82 m, glissez 54 m en attente et montez 6 m, tricotez 41 m = 41+6+82+6+41= 176 m pour le dos/devant. Bon tricot!
05.11.2020 kl. 10:58Hei! hvis jeg skal strikke den i størrelse small, hvor mange nøster av hver farge trenger jeg da?
