EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN:
-------------------------------------------------------
INCREASE/DECREASE TIP:
To work out how to increase/decrease evenly, count the total number of stitches on the needle (e.g. 104 stitches) and divide by the number of increases/decreases to be made (e.g. 24) = 4.3.
In this example, increase by making 1 yarn over after approx. each 4th stitch. On the next round knit the yarn overs twisted to avoid holes.
When decreasing knit approx. each 3rd and 4th stitch together.
KNITTING TIP-1:
To avoid the knitting tension becoming tighter when working pattern, it is important that the strands at the back of the piece are not tight. You can use a size larger needle when working pattern if this is a problem.
KNITTING TIP-2:
It is also important to maintain the knitting tension in height or the yoke will be too short and the armholes too small!
PATTERN:
See diagrams A.1 to A.4. Choose diagram for your size. The whole pattern is worked in stocking stitch.
DECREASE TIP (for mid under sleeves):
Start 2 stitches before the stitch with the marker thread, knit 2 together, knit 1 (= the stitch with the marker thread), slip 1 stitch as if to knit, knit 1, pass the slipped stitch over the knitted stitch (= 2 stitches decreased).

JUMPER – SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE:
Neck, yoke and body are worked in the round with circular needle, top down. The sleeves are worked in the round with short circular needle/double pointed needles, top down.
NECK:
Cast on 104-108-112-120-124-132 stitches with circular needle size 3 mm and dark rose. Knit 1 round. Then work rib in the round (= knit 2 / purl 2) for 3 cm. Knit 1 round where you increase 24-28-32-32-36-44 stitches evenly on round – read INCREASE/DECREASE TIP = 128-136-144-152-160-176 stitches. Change to circular needle size 4 mm and knit 1 round. Then work yoke as described below.
YOKE:
Read KNITTING TIP-1 and KNITTING TIP-2! Work A.1 in the round (= 32-34-36-38-40-44 repeats of 4 stitches).
Continue this pattern in the round.
AT THE SAME TIME on each round marked with an arrow in A.1 increase evenly on round as described below – read INCREASE/DECREASE TIP and REMEMBER THE KNITTING TENSION!
On the round marked with arrow-1 increase 32-32-32-32-40-40 stitches evenly on round = 160-168-176-184-200-216 stitches (there is now room for 20-21-22-23-25-27 repeats of 8 stitches).
On the round marked with arrow-2 increase 32-40-40-40-40-48 stitches evenly on round = 192-208-216-224-240-264 stitches (there is now room for 24-26-27-28-30-33 repeats of 8 stitches).
On the round marked with arrow-3 increase 32-32-40-48-48-40 stitches evenly on round = 224-240-256-272-288-304 stitches (there is now room for 14-15-16-17-18-19 repeats of 16 stitches).
On the round marked with arrow-4 increase 32-32-32-32-40-48 stitches evenly on round (there is now room for 32-34-36-38-41-44 repeats of 8 stitches) = 256-272-288-304-328-352 stitches.
On the round marked with arrow-5 increase 32-32-32-24-32-32 stitches evenly on round (there is now room for 36-38-40-41-45-48 repeats of 8 stitches) = 288-304-320-328-360-384 stitches. The increases are now finished in sizes S, M and L.
On the row marked with arrow-6 (for sizes XL, XXL and XXXL) increase 24-24-32 stitches evenly on round = 288-304-320-352-384-416 stitches on the needle. The increases are now finished in sizes XL, XXL and XXXL.
Continue working until just the last round in A.1 is left. The piece now measures 22-24-26-28-30-31 cm from the cast-on edge mid front.
The next round is worked as follows: Work 40-44-46-50-56-64 stitches as shown in last row in the diagram (= ½ back piece), place the next 64-64-68-76-80-80 stitches on a thread for sleeve, cast on 8-8-12-12-16-16 new stitches on the needle (= in side under sleeve), knit 80-88-92-100-112-128 stitches as shown in the last round in the diagram (= front piece), place the next 64-64-68-76-80-80 stitches on a thread for sleeve, cast on 8-8-12-12-16-16 new stitches on the needle (= in side under sleeve), knit 40-44-46-50-56-64 stitches as shown in last round in diagram (= ½ back piece).
Body and sleeves are finished separately. THE PIECE IS NOW MEASURED FROM HERE!
BODY:
= 176-192-208-224-256-288 stitches. The first round is worked as follows:
SIZES S, M, XL and XXL: Work A.2 in the round (= 22-24-28-32 repeats of 8 stitches). When A.2 has been completed, work A.3 in the round (= 11-12-14-16 repeats of 16 stitches). Then continue as described under ALL SIZES.
SIZES L and XXXL: Work A.3 in the round (= 13-18 repeats of 16 stitches). Then continue as described under ALL SIZES.
ALL SIZES:
Continue A.3 as described above. A.3 is repeated in height as far as the rib. AT THE SAME TIME on the round marked with an arrow in A.3 increase 16 stitches evenly on round in all sizes = 192-208-224-240-272-304 stitches (this increase is only on the first repeat of A.3 in height).
Continue this pattern (there is now room for 1 more repeat of A.3 in width).
Work until the piece measures approx. 29-29-29-29-29-30 cm from the division for sleeves – finish after a complete pattern section in dark rose.
Knit 1 round with dark rose where you increase 40-40-44-48-56-60 stitches evenly on round = 232-248-268-288-328-364 stitches. Change to circular needle size 3 mm and work rib in the round (= knit 2 / purl 2) for 4 cm. Cast off with knit over knit and purl over purl, but make sure that the cast-off edge is not tight (if this is a problem, you can make 1 yarn over after each 8th stitch at the same time as casting off - the yarn overs are cast off as normal stitches. The jumper measures approx. 58-60-62-64-66-68 cm from the shoulder down.
SLEEVE:
Place the 64-64-68-76-80-80 stitches from the thread on the one side of the piece on short circular needle size 4 mm and knit up 1 stitch in each of the 8-8-12-12-16-16 stitches cast on under the sleeve = 72-72-80-88-96-96 stitches on the needle. Insert 1 marker thread in the middle of the 8-8-12-12-16-16 stitches under the sleeve, i.e. insert the marker thread in the first stitch after the middle, count 35-35-39-43-47-47 stitches and insert 1 marker thread in the next stitch (= mid-stitch). There are now 35-35-39-43-47-47 stitches left on the round after the last marker thread. Allow the marker threads to follow your work onwards. The marker thread under the sleeve is later used when you decrease under the sleeve and the marker thread on top is used to count to where the pattern starts.
READ THE REST OF THIS SECTION BEFORE CONTINUING!
Work the last round in A.1 so that A.1 finishes in the same way as on the body.
PATTERN:
In sizes S, M, XL, XXL work A.2 in the round (= 9-9-11-12 repeats of 8 stitches), but count out from the middle - mid-stitch in A.2 should match the stitch with the marker thread on top of sleeve. When A.2 has been completed, work A.3 in the same way. In sizes L and XXXL work A.3 straight after working the last round in A.1 and count out from the mid-stitch in the same way as for the other sizes.
A.3 is repeated in height until the piece measures 29-28-26-23-22-21 cm from the division – finish after a complete repeat in height. Then work A.4 in the round in the same way.
DECREASING:
AT THE SAME TIME when the piece measures 3-3-3-3-2-2 cm decrease 2 stitches mid under sleeve – read DECREASE TIP. Decrease like this every 2½-3-2-1½-1½-1½ cm a total of 14-12-16-18-20-20 times = 44-48-48-52-56-56 stitches.
When the sleeve measures approx. 39-38-36-34-33-32 cm from the division (shorter measurements in larger sizes due to longer yoke) knit 1 round with dark rose where you increase 4 stitches evenly on round in all sizes = 48-52-52-56-60-60 stitches. Change to double pointed needles size 3 mm. Work rib in the round (= knit 2 / purl 2) for 4 cm. Cast off with knit over knit and purl over purl, but make sure that the cast-off edge is not tight (if this is a problem, you can make 1 yarn over after each 8th stitch at the same time as casting off - yarn overs cast off as normal stitches). The sleeve measures approx. 43-42-40-38-37-36 cm from the division down. Work the other sleeve in the same way.

Hei Farmen, A.1 er de 2 første lange diagrammene, rett etter teksten (velg diagram for din størrelse). God fornøyelse!
20.03.2023 kl. 06:52Ik ben Drops 196-18 aan het breien en ga nu met de mouw beginnen. In het patroon staat dat ik een markeerdraad in een steek moet toevoegen. In het instructie filmpje zie je hoe je die draad tussen steken moet toevoegen. Ik weet niet hoe je de draad in de steek moet toevoegen en of je de draad er later dan nog wel uit krijgt.
29.01.2023 - 10:01Czy przy robieniu rękawa po każdym zamykaniu oczek mam na nowo obliczać jak zacząć wzór, żeby się zgadzał na wierzchu rękawa? Pod rękawem wzór chyba nie będzie się zgadzał, tam gdzie były zamykane oczka i na końcu rzędu? (ponieważ nie ma wystarczającej ilości oczek aby zrobić cały wzór)
13.12.2022 - 22:37DROPS Design answered:
Witaj Mario, a nitka na rękawie (na środku na górze rękawa) służy do obliczenia gdzie zaczyna się żakard. Niestety trzeba to robić, z powodu zamykania oczek żakard nie będzie się zgadzał. Ważne aby był poprawny na rękawie, pod spodem rękawa nie będzie to już widoczne. Pozdrawiamy!
14.12.2022 kl. 13:01Guten Tag , ich habe den Pullover für eine Freundin gestrickt er saß super nun mußte er gewaschen, sie hat ih auf 20 Grad gewaschen und im Liegen getrocknet nun ist der pullover so groß geworden das sie ihn nicht mehr anziehen kann woran liegt das bloß ?

Liebe Susanne, wenn Sie Merino Extra Fine oder Karisma benutzt haben, dann ist die Wolle Superwash, so kann sie en Pullover in der Waschmaschine waschen - mehr lesen Sie unter den jeweiligen Farbkarten und noch mehr über wolle waschen lesen Sie hier - Im Notfall wenden Sie sich bitte an Ihrem DROPS Laden, dort wird man Ihnen am besten weiterhelfen (auch per Telefon oder per E-Mail). Viel Spaß beim stricken!
04.10.2022 kl. 13:30Guten Abend , ich versteh das mit der Mittelmasche nicht ,Wird die nur am Arm Berücksichtigt? Ich hab dazu nichts in der Anleitung gefunden Danke schön Susanne
09.06.2022 - 17:08DROPS Design answered:
Liebe Frau Voss, ja genau, die Mittelmasche in A.2 und A.3 betrifft nur die Ärmel. Diese Lektion erklärt, wie man ein Diagram in der Mitte platziert und kann dann Ihnen sicher weiterhelfen. Viel Spaß beim stricken!
10.06.2022 kl. 08:33I am making the med. When I begin the yoke I have 136 stitches. The four stitch repeat at the end is short one stitch. What have I done wrong?! Thanks
25.01.2022 - 02:14DROPS Design answered:
Dear Mrs Guinn, in size M you should repeat the 4 sts in M.1 a total of 34 times = 4x34=136 sts; make sure you worked each repeat as shown in diagram, if your number of sts is right, pattern should match. Happy knitting!
25.01.2022 kl. 09:52Hei! Synes det var litt vanskelig og forstå størrelseguiden på denne. Men om jeg har forstått det rett er målene rund brystet kun i bredden og ikke rundt, så altså må jeg opp i ste XL for at den skal være 106 cm rundt brystet?🙂
30.11.2021 - 21:48DROPS Design answered:
Hei Helen, Ja, størrelse XL gir deg brystvidde 106 cm. God fornøyelse!
01.12.2021 kl. 07:28Bonjour, Pour le dos/devant lorsque le motif #3 est terminé comment je poursuis pour atteindre 29 cm? Merci
27.09.2021 - 23:45DROPS Design answered:
Bonjour Manon, A.3 doit être répété en hauteur, autrement dit, quand il est terminé, vous le reprenez au 1er rang (en augmentant 16 mailles au tour avec la flèche si ce n'est déjà fait). Bon tricot!
28.09.2021 kl. 08:08Jammer dat de overgang van trui aan de achter kant zit..ik krijg dat nooit zo netjes dat je dat niet ziet!! Aan de zijkant zie je dat toch minder😧
