EXPLANATION FOR THE PATTERN:
----------------------------------------------------------
GARTER STITCH (worked in the round):
1 ridge = 2 rounds. Knit 1 round and purl 1 round.
GARTER STITCH (back and forth):
1 ridge = knit 2 rows.
PATTERN:
See diagrams A.1 to A.4.
Diagram A.1b/A.3b measures approx. 10 cm in width.
INCREASE TIP-1 (evenly):
To calculate how to increase evenly, use the total number of stitches on row (e.g. 88 stitches) and divide stitches by number of increases to be done (e.g. 20) = 4.4.
In this example increase by making 1 yarn over after alternately approx. every 4th and 5th stitch. On next round work yarn over twisted to avoid hole.
INCREASE TIP-2 (applies to sides of body):
Increase by making 1 yarn over. On next round work yarn over twisted to avoid holes. Then work the new stitches in stocking 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.

JUMPER - SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE GARMENT:
Worked top down on circular needle. Work first a yoke in the round on circular needle. Now divide yoke for body and sleeves. Continue in the round on circular needle until approx. 16 cm remain, then work front and back piece separately (= vent in the side). Work sleeves in the round on double pointed needles.
YOKE:
Cast on 88-92-96-104-108-112 stitches on circular needle size 3.5 mm with Merino Extra Fine. Work in GARTER STITCH - read explanation above. When piece measures 2 cm, increase 20-20-24-20-24-28 stitches evenly on next round - read INCREASE TIP-1 = 108-112-120-124-132-140 stitches.
Purl 1 round. Switch to circular needle size 4.5 mm and work as follows (round begins mid back):
Half back piece: Work A.1a (= 17 stitches), 2-2-4-4-6-8 stitches in stocking stitch, 1 yarn over (= 1 stitch increased for raglan).
Right sleeve: Work A.2 (= 7 stitches), 1 yarn over (= 1 stitch increased for raglan), 2-4-4-6-6-6 stitches in stocking stitch, 1 yarn over (= 1 stitch increased for raglan), A.2 over the next 7 stitches
Front piece: Work 1 yarn over (= 1 stitch increased for raglan), 2-2-4-4-6-8 stitches in stocking stitch, A.3a (= 17 stitches) (= mid front), A.1a over the next 17 stitches, 2-2-4-4-6-8 stitches in stocking stitch, 1 yarn over (= 1 stitch increased for raglan).
Left sleeve: Work A.2 over the next 7 stitches, 1 yarn over (= 1 stitch increased for raglan), 2-4-4-6-6-6 stitches in stocking stitch, 1 yarn over (= 1 stitch increased for raglan), A.2 over the next 7 stitches
Half back piece: Work 1 yarn over (= 1 stitch increased for raglan), 2-2-4-4-6-8 stitches in stocking stitch and finish with A.3a over the last 17 stitches.
REMEMBER THE KNITTING TENSION!
Work yarn overs twisted on each side of A.2 to avoid holes!
Continue pattern like this and increase for raglan, increase differently on front/back piece and sleeves (first increase as explained above), increase stitches on each side of A.2 as follows:
Front/back piece: Increase 1 stitch every other round 18-22-25-29-32-36 times in total (= 2 stitches increase on each front/back piece).
Sleeve: Increase 1 stitch every other round 20-23-26-27-28-30 times in total (= 2 stitches increase on each sleeve).
When A.1a and A.3a have been worked 1 time vertically, work A.1b (= 32 stitches) over A.1a and A.3b (= 32 stitches) over A.3a.
When all increases are done there are 320-352-384-408-432-464 stitches on row. Work until piece measures 21-23-25-27-29-31 cm from cast-on edge. Now divide piece for body and sleeves as follows:
Half back piece: Work A.1b (= 32 stitches), work 20-24-29-33-38-44 stitches in stocking stitch.
Right sleeve: Slip the next 56-64-70-74-76-80 stitches on a stitch holder for sleeve and cast on 8-8-10-10-12-12 stitches under sleeve.
Front piece: Work 20-24-29-33-38-44 stitches in stocking stitch, A.3b (= 32 stitches) (= mid back), A.1b (= 32 stitches), 20-24-29-33-38-44 stitches in stocking stitch.
Left sleeve: Slip the next 56-64-70-74-76-80 stitches on a stitch holder for sleeve and cast on 8-8-10-10-12-12 stitches under sleeve.
Half back piece: Work 20-24-29-33-38-44 stitches in stocking stitch and finish with A.3b (= 32 stitches).
BODY:
= 224-240-264-280-304-328 stitches.
Work A.3b (= 32 stitches) as before, 17-21-27-31-37-43 stitches in stocking stitch, A.4 (= 14 stitches = mid under sleeve), 17-21-27-31-37-43 stitches in stocking stitch. A.1b and A.3b as before (= 64 stitches in total), 17-21-27-31-37-43 stitches in stocking stitch, A.4 over the next 14 stitches (= mid under sleeve), 17-21-27-31-37-43 stitches in stocking stitch and finish with A.1b (= 32 stitches) as before.
Continue pattern like this.
When piece measures 2 cm from where body was divided from sleeves, increase 1 stitch on each side of every A.4 (= 4 stitches increased) - read INCREASE TIP-2. Increase like this every 2 cm 10 times in total = 264-280-304-320-344-368 stitches. When piece measures 22 cm from where body was divided from sleeves, divide front and back piece, to make a vent in each side (= approx. 16 cm).
Divide the piece in the middle of each A.4 (= 132-140-152-160-172-184 stitches on each front/back piece).
BACK PIECE:
Now work back and forth.
Continue with half pattern A.4 (= 7 stitches), stocking stitch, A.1b and A.3b as before until piece measures 36 cm from where body was divided from sleeves, switch to circular needle size 3.5 mm and work GARTER STITCH – read explanation above, for 2 cm (= 16 cm vent). Cast off by knitting. Piece measures approx. 62-64-66-68-70-72 cm in total from shoulder.
FRONT PIECE:
Work as back piece.
SLEEVE:
Work sleeves in the round on double pointed needles.
Slip the 56-64-70-74-76-80 stitches from stitch holder in one side of piece on double pointed needles size 4.5 mm and pick up 1 stitch in each of the 8-8-10-10-12-12 stitches under sleeve = 64-72-80-84-88-92 stitches.
Insert 1 marker thread in the middle of the 8-8-10-10-12-12 stitches under sleeve.
Continue with pattern A.2 (on each side of marker thread) and stocking stitch, but decrease A.2 as follows: Decrease 1 stitch on each side of marker thread – read DECREASE TIP (= 2 stitches decreased) on every other round and increase 1 stitch on every other round by making a yarn over after first A.2 and before last A.2 (= 2 stitches increased), i.e. the stitches under sleeve are decreased and the stitches in stocking stitch are increased. Knit the increased stitches twisted on next round, then work them in stocking stitch. When sleeve measures 2 cm from where sleeve was divided for body, do not increase stitches on next round with increase/decrease, i.e. decrease 2 stitches.
Decrease like this every 3-2-1½-1½-1-1 cm 10-13-16-17-18-19 times in total = 44-46-48-50-52-54 stitches (when A.2 has been decreased in both sides, stitches are no longer increased). When sleeve measures 34-33-31-29-28-26 cm from where sleeve was divided from body, increase 1-2-0-1-2-0 stitches evenly on next round = 45-48-48-51-54-54 stitches. Switch to double pointed needles size 3.5 mm and work rib = knit 1/purl 2. When sleeve measures 39-38-36-34-33-31 cm from where sleeve was divided from body, cast off with knit over knit and purl over purl.
Work the other sleeve the same way.

Hola. Sería útil saber cuantos puntos debemos obtener en el canesú después de tejer la primera línea de A.1a y A.3a (en la talla S me aumenta en 8 o sea, ahora tengo 116 puntos) Luego, cuando empiezan las repeticiones (18 para frente/espalda y 20 para mangas), que es lo que se repite exactamente?, esa primera línea del patrón A.1a y A.3a con los aumentos para el raglán? o repetimos la tercera línea de ambos patrones? Es que no me dan los números.

09.03.2022 kl. 11:02Why can't you put these patterns in straight needle's as not all of us and get on with these circular needles and as such we're loosing out on theses patterns
11.12.2021 - 16:18DROPS Design answered:
Dear Mrs Godden, circular needles are very popular in Scandinavia reason why we use them a lot, if we are not able to adjust every pattern to every single request, this lesson might help you to adjust into straight needles, your DROPS store will be also able to help you even per mail or telephone. Happy knitting!
13.12.2021 kl. 10:36Bonjour Sur la photo du modèle, le devant se termine par une pointe légèrement arrondie. Cela ne correspond pas du tout aux explications puisqu'on arrête toutes les mailles d'un coup. Cordialement Françoise Haquart
13.01.2021 - 14:11DROPS Design answered:
Bonjour Mme Haquart, cet arrondi va se former automatiquement à cause du point fantaisie tricoté au milieu devant/milieu dos. Bon tricot!
13.01.2021 kl. 15:37Hallo, heute habe ich mit der Anleitung begonnen, habe es bis zur 1. Runde nach der Passe geschafft, jetzt muss ich lesen, dass die Zunahmen nur alle 2 Runden gemacht erden. Was passiert in den Runden dazwischen? Grüße aus Burgas
04.09.2020 - 16:55DROPS Design answered:
Liebe Frau Hohn, die Raglanzunahmen werden in jede 2. Runde gestrickt (und unterchiedlich am Vorder-Rückenteil als an den Ärmeln) - bei der Runde nach den Zunahmen stricken Sie wie zuvor - die Umschläge für den Raglan werden verschränkt gestrickt. Viel Spaß beim stricken!
07.09.2020 kl. 08:02Ich habe versucht die Anleitung zu drucken, es kommen immer nur 2 Seiten aus dem Drucker mit der Fußzeile 2 von 2 Seiten. Der Beginn der Anleitung fehlt, was mache ich falsch?
13.10.2019 - 17:27DROPS Design answered:
Liebe Gisela, die ganze Anleitung sollte gedruckt werden; prüfen Sie mal die Druckereinstellungen damit alle Seiten gedruckt sind; versuchen Sie den Browser-Cache zu löschen und den Browser neu starten, und Sie können auch mal mit einem anderen Browser versuchen . Viel Spaß beim stricken!
14.10.2019 kl. 10:36We want to see videos for finally patterns
