------------------------------------------------------- EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN: ------------------------------------------------------- RIDGE/GARTER STITCH (worked in the round): 1 ridge = 2 rounds. Knit 1 round and purl 1 round. RIDGE/GARTER STITCH (worked back and forth): 1 ridge = knit 2 rows. PATTERN: See diagrams A.1 to A.4. Choose diagram for your size. The diagrams show all the rows in the pattern seen from the right side! DECREASE TIP (for sleeves): All decreases are made from the side in purl! Decrease 1 stitch by purling 2 stitches together ------------------------------------------------------- START THE PIECE HERE: ------------------------------------------------------- CIRCLE JACKET - SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE: The piece is worked in the round in a circle from the middle of the back outwards. Change to circular needle(s) when necessary. Then work back and forth with short rows for the front pieces and down the back. The sleeves are worked top down in stockinette stitch with the wrong side out. Because of the weight of the yarn, the garment will stretch somewhat after use. CIRCLE JACKET: CIRCLE: Cast on 8 stitches with double pointed needles size 8 mm = US 11 and 1 strand Air and 1 strand Brushed Alpaca Silk (= 2 strands). Divide the stitches between 4 needles so that there are 2 stitches on each. Insert a marker thread at the beginning of the round. Allow the marker thread to follow your work onwards. Work pattern in the round according to A.1 – choose diagram for your size, a total of 8 times on the round. REMEMBER THE KNITTING GAUGE! When A.1 is finished, there are 48 stitches on the round. Now work pattern as follows: Work A.2 – choose diagram for your size, a total of 16 times on the round. After the next-to-last round in A.2 there are 128-128-144-144-160-160 stitches on the round. The last round in A.2 is worked as follows: Work the first 39-39-45-45-49-49 stitches (there is now 1-1-0-0-1-1 stitch left in the last repeat of A.2 worked), insert a new marker thread here (follows your work onwards and is later used when you work short rows from the front pieces and down the body on the back piece), bind off the next 20-21-22-23-24-25 stitches (= armhole), work the next 49-47-55-53-63-61 stitches, bind off the last 20-21-22-23-24-25 stitches (= armhole). The piece measures approx. 39-39-41-41-47-47 cm = 15¼"-15¼"-16⅛"-16⅛"-18½"-18½" in diameter. The next round is worked as follows: Work A.3 – choose diagram for your size (= 8-8-9-9-10-10 stitches on the first round in the diagram) a total of 16 times on the round and at the same time cast on 20-21-22-23-24-25 new stitches on the needle where the stitches were bind off for the armholes = 128-128-144-144-160-160 stitches. Continue in the round with A.3 until the whole diagram has been completed in height. There are now 304-304-352-352-400-400 stitches on the round. The piece measures approx. 87-87-97-97-111-111 cm = 34¼"-34¼"-38¼"-38¼"-43¾"-43¾" in diameter. Cut the strand. Place the first 94-94-110-110-124-124 stitches on the round (= stitches between the 2 marker threads) on a thread. FRONT PIECES AND DOWN THE BODY: There are now 210-210-242-242-276-276 stitches for the front pieces and down the body on the back piece. Start from the right side after the second marker thread and work short rows back and forth for the front pieces and down the body on the back piece as follows: ROW 1 (right side): Purl over purl and work A.4 (= 3 stitches) over each cable until there are 3 stitches left before the next marker thread (i.e. start of round), turn. ROW 2 (wrong side): Work back until there are 3 stitches left before the marker thread, turn. ROW 3: Purl over purl and work A.4 over each of the cables until there are 6 stitches left before the marker thread, AT THE SAME TIME increase 1 purled stitch after each cable/A.4, turn. ROW 4: Work back until there are 6 stitches left before the marker thread, turn. Continue back and forth like this by working 3 fewer stitches than the previous row and increase 1 stitch after each cable/A.4 every 4th row until you have worked 7 repeats of A.4 in height (= 42 rows). The piece measures approx. 72-72-77-77-84-84 cm = 28⅜"-28⅜"-30⅜"-30⅜"-33"-33" from the middle of the circle and down mid back. The last row is worked from the wrong side. Do not cut the strand. Insert a marker thread in the middle cable/A.4 mid back of jacket. Continue back and forth with pattern as before over the bottom of the left front piece as follows: ROW 1 (right side): Work until there are 4 stitches left before the cable/A.4 with the marker thread mid back, turn. ROW 2 (wrong side): Work until there are 3 more stitches left before the marker thread than the previous row (start of round), AT THE SAME TIME increase 1 purled stitch after each cable/A.4, turn. ROW 3 (right side): Work until there are 4 more stitches than last time left before the cable/A.4 with the marker thread mid back, turn. ROW 4 (wrong side): Work until there are 3 more stitches before the marker thread than the previous row, turn. Continue back and forth with pattern and increase after each cable/A.4 every 4th row until you have worked 3 repeats of A.4 in height (= 18 rows). Cut the strand. Start from the right side and after A.4/mid back and work short rows back and forth over the bottom of the right front piece in the same way, but reversed, i.e. each row from the wrong side is turned when there are 4 more stitches before the cable/A.4 with the marker thread mid back than the previous time and on each row from the right side is turned when there are 3 more stitches left than the previous time. EDGE: Place all stitches on the circle back on circular needle and work 2 RIDGES – read description above, around the whole circle. Bind off, but to avoid the bind-off edge being tight you can make 1 yarn over after approx. each 5th stitch - the yarn overs are bind off as normal stitches. SLEEVE: The sleeve is worked in stockinette stitch with the wrong side out (reversed stockinette stitch). Cast on 11-11-12-12-14-14 stitches with circular needle size 8 mm = US 11 and 1 strand Air and 1 strand Brushed Alpaca Silk (= 2 strands). Work stockinette stitch back and forth, AT THE SAME TIME cast on new stitches at the end of each row in each side as follows: Cast on 2 stitches 2 times, 1 stitch 3-4-5-6-6-7 times, 2 stitches 1 time and 4 stitches 1 time = 37-39-42-44-46-48 stitches. THE PIECE IS NOW MEASURED FROM HERE. Continue back and forth with stockinette stitch and 1 edge stitch in GARTER STITCH – read description above, in each side. When the piece measures 4 cm decrease 1 stitch inside the 1 edge stitch in garter stitch in each side – read DECREASE TIP. Decrease like this every 7-6-6-5-5-4 cm = 2¾"-2⅜"-2⅜"-2"-2"-1½" a total of 6-7-7-8-8-9 times = 25-25-28-28-30-30 stitches. When the piece measures 42-42-40-40-39-39 cm = 16½"-16½"-15¾"-15¾"-15¼"-15¼" increase 7-7-4-9-7-7 stitches evenly on row = 32-32-32-37-37-37 stitches. Change to circular needle size 7 mm = US 10,75. Work rib, starting from the side with purl (reversed stockinette stitch/the wrong side out) as follows: 1 edge stitch in garter stitch (knit 2, purl 3) until there is 1 stitch left, 1 edge stitch in garter stitch. When the rib measures 5 cm = 2" bind off with knit over knit and purl over purl. The sleeve measures approx. 55-56-55-56-56-57 cm = 21⅝"-22"-21⅝"-22"-22"-22½" from the sleeve cap down. Work the other sleeve in the same way. ASSEMBLY: Sew sleeves to body inside the bind-off/cast-on edge. Sew sleeve seams. Make sure that the seam is not tight. |

I\'m at the point in A2 where you made a correction and dropped a pearl stitch I wanted to know why because I have an extra Purl and I will come to the 10 stitches 4P,3K,3P on the last row as directed in the pattern. So my question is why the correction? and what do I do I will have the correct number of stitches? A reply as soon as possible is appreciated as I am stuck.
01.10.2023 - 16:12DROPS Design answered:
Dear Victoria, the correction applies only if you printed the pattern before this date, otherwise, the pattern online is correct. In this video we show how to work such a pattern, it might help you further. Happy knitting!

Hello, I wanted to know : when starting this piece can you use circle needle? When using DPN do you need to join? I notice in the pattern NEEDLES required are several length, I wanted to know when to change? I wanted a challenge and chose this piece I have tried to practice getting started, I am getting there these answers will help. Kindly Victoria
19.09.2023 - 21:33DROPS Design answered:
Hi Victoria, You begin with DPNs as there are too few stitches for a short circular needle. Change to short circular needle when you have enough stitches (or when the DPNs are too small for the number of stitches). And, yes, when working with DPNs you still work in the round. Happy knitting!

Fantastisk smuk cirkeljakke. Har valgt at strikke den i andet garn, og er nået ned hvor jeg skal starte på A4. Kan simpelthen ikke få det til at passe med at jeg kun skal tage een maske ud efter en snoning. Hvordan får jeg lige mange masker på begge sider af sidste snoning når jeg har strikket alle 7 rapporterr?
22.06.2023 - 20:29DROPS Design answered:
Hej Inge, Vi forstår ikke spørgsmålet. Skriv hvor du er i opskriften, hvilken størrelse du strikker og hvor mange masker du har (og skal have). Skriv også hvor der står at du skal have lige mange masker på begge sider af sidste snoning.... så prøver vi at sætte os ind i den størrelse du strikker :)

Venstreforstykkr - Er det mon en fejl? 2.PIND (vrangen): Strik til der er 3 masker mere tilbage end forrige gang før mærketråden (starten på omgangen), SAMTIDIG tages der 1 maske vrang ud efter hver snoning/A.4, vend. - Skal det ikke være en ret som tages ud, da man strikker retmasker på vrangen af dette mønster?
28.05.2023 - 08:31DROPS Design answered:
Hei Karen Det økes 1 maske vrang sett fra retten, slik at mønstret stemmer med resten av jakken. Du øker med 1 kast og på neste pinne (vrangen) strikkes kastet vridd rett slik at det ikke blir hull. Mvh DROPS Design

Eller skal jeg strikke 3 masker mere eller mindre end ned ad ryggen?
28.05.2023 - 08:11DROPS Design answered:
Hei Karen. Du skal nå strikke flere forkortete pinner. Når du strikker 2. pinne (fra vrangen), strikker du til det er 3 masker før merketråden og så snu og når du strikker 3. pinne (fra retten) strikker du til det er 6 masker før merketråden, snu og strikk til det er 6 masker før merketråden. Fortsett frem og tilbake slik med å strikke over 3 masker MINDRE enn forrige gang. Mvh DROPS Design

Hej Helle, det findes ikke noget brystmål i denne jakke, vi havde valgt størrelse M eller L alt efter om du vil have den lidt mindre eller lidt større :)

Danke, für die schnelle Antwort.\r\nAlso nehme ich immer in Reihe 3 und 1 des Zopfs A.4, eine Masche links davon zu?\r\nWieviel Maschen habe ich bei Größe L dann nach den ersten (42) verkürzten Reihen übrig?
01.02.2023 - 14:47DROPS Design answered:
Liebe Nicole, es wird nur 1 Masche in jeder 4. Reihe (= jedes Mal Sie die 3. Reihe stricken - siehe 1. bis 4. REIHE) - nach jedem Zopf/A.4, die gestrickt werden. Viel Spaß beim stricken!

Hallo. Ich bin mir total unsicher ob ich alles richtig verstanden habe. Wieviele Maschen habe ich am Ende, des ersten Teils der verkürzten Reihen (42 Reihen), übrig?
01.02.2023 - 14:00DROPS Design answered:
Liebe Nicole, Maschenanzhal varriert je nach der Größe, wichtig is aber nur, daß Sie immer 3 Maschen weniger am Ende jeder Hin- sowie Rückreihe (bei jeder verkürzten Reihe) und daß Sie, 1 linke Masche nach jedem Zopf/A.4 zunehmen, jedes Mal die 3. Reihe (= in jeder 4. Reihe) gestrickt wird. Viel Spaß beim stricken!
