------------------------------------------------------- EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN: ------------------------------------------------------- RIDGE/GARTER STITCH (worked back and forth): 1 ridge = Knit 2 rows. PATTERN: See diagrams A.1 to A.7. The diagrams show all the rows in the pattern seen from the right side. DECREASE TIP: All decreases are made from the right side! Decrease in the same way as in diagrams A.1 and A.7 as follows: Decrease after the 1 edge stitch in garter stitch when the 2nd stitch on the row is worked in garter stitch as follows: Knit 2 together. Decrease after the 1 edge stitch in garter stitch when the 2nd stitch on the row is knitted as follows: Purl 2 together. Decrease before the 1 edge stitch in garter stitch when the next to last stitch on the row is in garter stitch as follows: Work until there are 3 stitches left on the row, slip 1 stitch as if to knit, knit 1 and pass the slipped stitch over the knitted stitch. Decrease before the 1 edge stitch in garter stitch when the next to last stitch on the row is knitted as follows: Work until there are 3 stitches left on the row, purl 2 together. ------------------------------------------------------- START THE PIECE HERE: ------------------------------------------------------- SWEATER - SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE: The piece is worked back and forth with circular needle in sections and sewn together to finish. The piece is worked bottom up. FRONT PIECE: Cast on 129-137-145-153-165-177 stitches with circular needle size 4.5 mm / US 7 and Merino Extra Fine. Purl 1 row from the wrong side. Now work pattern from the right side as follows: 1 edge stitch in GARTER STITCH - read description above, work A.1 over the first 8 stitches, A.2 over the next 50-54-58-62-68-74 stitches, A.3 over the next 2 stitches, A.4 over the next 7 stitches (= the middle 7 stitches on the row), A.5 over the next 2 stitches, A.6 over the next 50-54-58-62-68-74 stitches, A.7 over the next 8 stitches and 1 edge stitch in garter stitch. Continue back and forth like this. The number of stitches stays the same, but the pattern is displaced. REMEMBER THE GAUGE! When the diagrams have been completed in height, continue the pattern in the same way, i.e. increase stitches in A.3 and A.5 and decrease stitches in A.1 and A.7. When the piece measures approx. 34-34-35-35-35-35 cm / 13⅜"-13⅜"-13 ¾"-13 ¾"-13 ¾"-13 ¾" from the cast-on edge and up the side of the piece – adjust so that you finish after 5 rows after an increase, work the next row from the right side as follows: Work pattern as before over the first 64-68-72-76-82-88 stitches on the row, work 2 stitches in the next stitch (= mid-stitch), work pattern as before over the last 64-68-72-76-82-88 stitches on the row = 130-138-146-154-166-178 stitches. Insert a marker thread in each side of the piece. THE PIECE IS NOW MEASURED FROM HERE! Place the first 65-69-73-77-83-89 stitches (seen from the right side) on a thread for left shoulder and work the right shoulder. RIGHT SHOULDER: = 65-69-73-77-83-89 stitches. Work 1 row back from the wrong side. Now work pattern as follows from the right side: 2 edge stitches in garter stitch (= towards neck), continue pattern A.6 until there is 1 stitch left and work 1 edge stitch in garter stitch. AT THE SAME TIME on the first row from the right side decrease 1 stitch inside the 1 edge stitch in garter stitch towards the side - read DECREASE TIP. Decrease like this every 4th row a total of 10-10-11-11-12-12 times and when the piece measures 10-11-11-12-13-14 cm / 3⅞"-4 ¼"-4 ¼"-4⅝"-5⅛"-5 ½" from the marker thread bind off 2-2-2-4-4-4 stitches for the armhole = 53-57-60-62-67-73 stitches left on shoulder. When the piece measures 17-18-19-20-21-22 cm / 6¾"-7"-7½"-8"-8¼"-8¾" from the marker thread (= 7-7-8-8-8-8 cm / 2 ¾"-2 ¾"-3⅛"-3⅛"-3⅛"-3⅛" from where you bind off for the armhole) work short rows in pattern as before from the wrong side as follows: ROW 1 (wrong side): Work until there are 2 stitches left on the row, tighten strand. ROW 2 (right side): Work back. ROW 3: Work until there are 4 more stitches left on the row than the previous time (= 6 stitches), tighten strand. ROW 4: Work back.

Work 1 ridge over all stitches on row where you decrease 5 stitches evenly on row = 48-52-55-57-62-68 stitches left on shoulder. Bind off. The piece measures approx. 60-62-64-66-68-70 cm / 23⅝"-24⅜"-25¼"-26"-26¾"-27½" / 23⅝"-24⅜"-25¼"-26"-26¾"-27½" from the shoulder down. LEFT SHOULDER: = 65-69-73-77-83-89 stitches. Work 1 row back from the wrong side. Now work pattern as follows from the right side: 1 edge stitch in garter stitch (towards armhole), continue pattern A.6 until there are 2 stitches left and work 2 edge stitches in garter stitch (= towards neck).

Work 1 ridge over all stitches on row where you decrease 5 stitches evenly on row = 48-52-55-57-62-68 stitches left on shoulder. Bind off. The piece measures approx. 60-62-64-66-68-70 cm / 23⅝"-24⅜"-25¼"-26"-26¾"-27½" / 23⅝"-24⅜"-25¼"-26"-26¾"-27½" from the shoulder down. BACK PIECE: Cast on 121-129-137-145-157-169 stitches with circular needle size 4.5 mm / US 7 and Merino Extra Fine. Purl 1 row from the wrong side. Now work pattern as follows from the right side: 1 edge stitch in garter stitch, work A.2 until there are 2 stitches left on the row, work the first stitch in A.2 and 1 edge stitch in garter stitch. Continue back and forth like this. When the piece measures 44-45-46-47-48-49 cm / 17¼"-17¾"-18"-18½"-19"-19¼" – adjust to match the front piece where you bind off stitches for the armholes, and bind off 2-2-2-4-4-4 stitches at the beginning of the next 2 rows for the armholes in each side = 117-125-133-137-149-161 stitches. Continue working until the piece measures 56-58-60-62-64-66 cm / 22"-22¾"-23⅝"-24⅜"-25¼"-26". Now work garter stitch over the middle 25-25-27-27-29-29 stitches on the row. When you have worked 2 ridges over these stitches, bind off the middle 21-21-23-23-25-25 stitches for neck and each shoulder is finished separately = 48-52-55-57-62-68 stitches on each shoulder. Continue with texture and 1 edge stitch in garter stitch in the side and 2 stitches in garter stitch towards the neck. When the piece measures 59-61-63-65-67-69 cm / 23¼"-24"-24¾"-25½"-26⅜"-27⅛" / 23¼"-24"-24¾"-25½"-26⅜"-27⅛" work 1 ridge over all stitches. Bind off. Work the other shoulder in the same way. The piece measures approx. 60-62-64-66-68-70 cm / 23⅝"-24⅜"-25¼"-26"-26¾"-27½" / 23⅝"-24⅜"-25¼"-26"-26¾"-27½" from the shoulder down. SLEEVE: Cast on 45-45-49-49-53-53 stitches with circular needle size 4.5 mm / US 7 and Merino Extra Fine. Purl 1 row from the wrong side.

Continue back and forth like this. You increase stitches on the middle of sleeve in diagrams A.3 and A.5. When the sleeve measures 7 cm / 2¾" decrease 1 stitch in each side - remember DECREASE TIP! NOTE: In size XXXL you do not decrease, but continue to work texture and increase stitches as before. Decrease like this every 10th-12th-18th-30th-28th-0 row a total of 10-8-6-4-4-0 times. When the diagrams have been completed in height continue to increase in the middle of the sleeve as before until you have increased a total of 20-20-18-18-18-16 times and there are 65-69-73-77-81-85 stitches on the needle. Then continue with texture until the sleeve measures 40-39-38-37-36-33 cm / 15 ¾"-15 ¼"-14⅞"-14 ½"-14⅛"-13". Bind off. Work the other sleeve in the same way. ASSEMBLY: Sew the shoulder seams with grafting stitches. Sew sleeves to body inside the 1 edge stitch in garter stitch on the body and inside the bind-off edge on the sleeve. Sew sleeve and side seams in one go inside the 1 edge stitch in garter stitch. |

Hi. Thank you for the pattern. I’m working on the shoulder and have got to the short rows. I don’t understand how on the third row I turn back with more stitches left than on row 1. When do I go across all these left stitches? I thought the short row would have had me going across the left stitches on the third row. Please can you explain it a bit more to me? Thanks very much.

Dear Tracy, at the end of first short row you left 2 sts unworked before turning, at the end of 3rd row leave 4 more sts (- there are now 6 sts left unworked), turn and work back row, then at the end of every other row leave 4 more sts left (there are now 6+10 sts unworked in total) and so on until you have turned the number of sts for your size, then leave 3-1-2-0-3-1 times 5-3-5-0-3-3 sts unworked. Happy knitting!

Dans le diagramme A3 le rang 7 est différent des rangs 19 et 31 il y a une maille avant le jeté. le rang 9 est différent des rangs 21 et 33 il y a 2 mailles avant le jeté au lieu de 1. Dans le diagramme A5 le rang 7 est différent des rangs 19 et 31 il y a une maille après le jeté. le rang 9 est différent des rangs 21 et 33 il y a 2 mailles après le jeté au lieu de 1.

Wanneer het patroon in boordsteek dient gebreid te worden dient de blanco rij gebreid te worden zoals de steken zich voordien. Zoniet krijg je geen boordpatroon.

I am knitting the above pattern. Is the first row a knit row? If it is then I’m assuming the pattern stitches are made on the wrong side? Ist row is blank, 2nd row has Ex’s and blanks. Is this the row , the wrong side? Pattern is rather confusing.

Dear Penny, the first row in the garment is purled and worked on the wrong side. In the second row (right side), start working the pattern according to the diagrams (the blank squares are knitted stitches). Happy knitting!

Hello Im little confused here. Im knitting the wrong side right now. And is the wrong side will be all K stitch? Or K the P stitch and P the K stitch? Thank you!

Hi Diem, On the wrong side the knitted stitches (open squares) are purled and the purled stitches (square with x) are knitted. Happy crafting!

Salve, riguardo ai ferri accorciati delle spalle, si deve procedere dalla parte del collo o della spalla? Non riesco ad andare avanti, grazie mille.

Buonasera Elena, deve partire a lavorare i ferri accorciati dal rovescio del lavoro. Buon lavoro!

Would not putting in the eyelet stitches drastically change this pattern?
24.04.2022 - 17:30DROPS Design answered:
Dear Belleslettres, no, it wouldn't drastically change the pattern. You simply need to work the yarn overs twisted, so that no eyelets are left. Since these are also simply decorative, it won't affect the end result too much. Happy knitting!

I would like to make this nicely textured sweater without the eyelets. Will this make much of a difference with the pattern!

Meget uklædeligt design. Billedet viser ikke, at ærmerne faktisk stumper, og at ryggen er så bred, at den står ud bag dig som et telt. Strikkefasthed er overholdt. Utroligt skuffet.
