EXPLANATION FOR THE PATTERN:
----------------------------------------------------------
PATTERN:
See diagrams A.1 and A.2. Choose diagram for your size. Diagrams show all rows in pattern seen from the right side.
DECREASE/INCREASE TIP (evenly):
To calculate how to decrease evenly, use the total number of stitches on row (e.g. 84 stitches) minus the band stitches (e.g. 10 stitches) = 74 and divide stitches by number of decreases to be done (e.g. 7) = 10,5.
In this example decrease by work alternately every 9th and 10th /10th and 11th stitch together. To increase use the same calculation but make instead a yarn over after alternately every 10th and 11th stitch. Work yarn overs twisted on next row to avoid holes.
INCREASE TIP-2 (applies to sides of body):
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 = 2 stitches increased. On next row work yarn overs twisted to avoid holes. Then work the new stitches in stockinette stitch.
DECREASE TIP-2 (applies to sleeves):
Decrease 1 stitch on each side of marker thread as follows: Work until 3 stitches remain before marker thread, knit 2 together, knit 2 stitches (marker thread is between these stitches), slip 1 stitch knitwise, knit 1, pass slipped stitch over stitch worked = 2 stitches decreased.
BUTTONHOLES:
Decrease for buttonholes on right band (when garment is worn). 1 buttonhole = begin from wrong side and knit 2nd and 3rd stitch from edge together, make 1 yarn over. On next row knit yarn over to make holes.
Decrease for first buttonhole after 2 cm on neck edge, then decrease the next 5-5-6-6-6 buttonholes every 6-7-6½-7-8 cm = 2 3/8”-2 3/4”-2 1/2”-2 3/4”-3 1/8”.

START THE PIECE HERE:
----------------------------------------------------------
JACKET - SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE:
Piece is worked back and forth on circular needle, top down, then work front and back piece back and forth. Work sleeves in the round on double pointed needles/a short circular needle.
YOKE:
Cast on 84-88-100-112-116 stitches on circular needle size 3 mm = US 2,5 with light grey blue. Purl 1 row from wrong side. Work next row as follows from right side: 5 band stitches in GARTER STITCH - see explanation above - * knit 2, purl 2 *, repeat from *-* until 7 stitches remain, finish with knit 2 and 5 band stitches in garter stitch. Continue rib like this for 3 cm = 1 1/8” – remember BUTTONHOLES on right band – see explanation above and finish after 1 row from right side (= neck edge). Switch to circular needle size 4 mm = US 6. Purl 1 row from wrong side while decreasing 7-5-5-10-7 stitches evenly - read DECREASE/INCREASE TIP = 77-83-95-102-109 stitches. Work as follows from right side: 5 band stitches in garter stitch, work pattern according to A.1 until 6 stitches remain on row - NOTE: Choose diagram for correct size (= 11-12-12-13-14 repetitions of 6-6-7-7-7 stitches), work A.2 over 1 stitch and finish with 5 band stitches in garter stitch. Continue pattern like this and increase as shown in diagram - read KNITTING TIP and REMEMBER KNITTING GAUGE. When A.1 and A.2 have been worked, there are 209-227-251-271-291 stitches on needle. Continue in pistachio, on next row from right side work in stockinette stitch (garter stitch over band stitches) and increase 13-11-5-1-1 stitch on needle = 222-238-256-272-292 stitches on needle.
Work in stockinette stitch (garter stitch over band stitches) until piece measures approx. 18-18-19-20-21 cm = 7"-7"-7 1/2"-8"-8 1/4" from cast-on edge. Work next row from right side as follows: Work 5 band stitches in GARTER STITCH, work 31-33-36-36-37 stitches in stockinette stitch (= front piece), slip the next 44-48-51-54-62 stitches on a stitch holder (= sleeve), cast on 6 new stitches under sleeve, work 62-66-72-82-84 stitches in stockinette stitch (= back piece), slip the next 44-48-51-54-62 stitches on a new stitch holder (= sleeve), cast on 6 new stitches, work 31-33-36-36-37 stitches (= front piece) and work 5 band stitches in GARTER STITCH.
BODY:
There are now 146-154-166-176-180 stitches on needle. NOW MEASURE PIECE FROM HERE! Insert 1 marker thread in the middle of the 6 new stitches cast on in each side. Work in stockinette stitch back and forth with 5 band stitches in garter stitch in each side. When piece measures 3 cm = 1 1/8”, increase 1 stitch on each side of each marker thread (= 4 stitches increased) - read INCREASE TIP-2! Repeat increase every 3-4-5-6-7 cm = 1 1/8”-1 1/2”-2”-2 3/8”-2 3/4” 3 times in total = 158-166-178-188-192 stitches on needle. Then work as before until piece measures approx. 12-16-19-22-25 cm = 4 3/4”-6 1/4”-7 1/2”-7 3/4”-9 3/4” (or to desired length, there is approx. 4 cm = 1 1/2" until finished measurements). . Work 1 row in stockinette stitch from right side while increasing 10-6-6-8-12 stitches evenly (do not increase over band stitches) = 168-172-184-196-204 stitches.
Switch to circular needle size 3 mm = US 2,5 and work next row from wrong side as follows: Work 5 band stitches in garter stitch, purl 2, * knit 2, purl 2 *. Work from *-* until the 5 stitches remain and work 5 band stitches in garter stitch.
Work as follows from right side: 5 band stitches in garter stitch, knit 2, * purl 2, knit 2 *, repeat from *-* until 5 stitches remain and work 5 band stitches in garter stitch. Continue rib like this until it measures 4 cm = 1 1/2”. On next row from right side loosely bind off with garter stitch over garter stitch, knit over knit and purl over purl. Cut and fasten the yarn.
SLEEVE:
Slip stitches from on stitch holder back on a short circular needle/double pointed needles size 4 mm = US 6 (= 44-48-51-54-62 stitches), pick up 1 stitch in each of the 6 stitches cast on on body (= 50-54-57-60-68 stitches). Insert 1 marker thread in the middle of these 6 stitches. Work in stockinette stitch in the round until sleeve measures 2 cm = 3/4”. Now decrease 1 stitch on each side of marker thread - read DECREASE TIP-2! Continue in stockinette stitch and repeat decrease every 4-3½-4-4-3½ cm = 1 1/2”-1 1/4”-1 1/2”-1 1/2”-1 1/4” until decrease has been done 5-7-7-8-10 times in total = 40-40-43-44-48 stitches on needle. Work in stockinette stitch until sleeve measures 21-26-29-33-36 cm = 8 1/4”-10 1/4”-11 3/8”-13”-14 1/4”. Knit 1 round and increase 4-4-5-4-4 stitches on round = 44-44-48-48-52 stitches. Switch to double pointed needles size 3 mm = US 2,5 and work rib in the round with knit 2/purl 2 for 4 cm = 1 1/2”. Loosely bind off stitches with knit over knit and purl over purl. Cut and fasten the yarn.
Work the other sleeve the same way.

Bij het telpatroon: zijn daar alleen de naalden aan de goede kant aangegeven of de heen en weer naalden?

Dag Marianne,
In de telpatronen zijn altijd alle naalden weergegeven, dus zowel de heengaande als de teruggaande naalden.
27.10.2022 kl. 20:47Waar vind ik telpatroon A2?
25.10.2022 - 20:04DROPS Design answered:
Dag Marianne,
Deze staat naast telpatroon A.1 en is 1 steek breed.
26.10.2022 kl. 08:39J'ai fait le même modèle 3 fois, 1fois en taille 9/10 et 2 fois en taille 5/6 ans. Je trouve que les augmentations ne sont pas bien réparties, pas régulières donc l'allure du gilet est un peu bizarre... Dommage ! Je joins une photo de l'un d'entre eux...
14.10.2022 - 12:44If with the larger sizes, you start chart A2 on row 1 of A1, then should realign the charts correctly on the printout. Currently it shows chart A2 starting on row 2 of chart A1.
13.09.2022 - 12:35Lamb Dance - In the larger sizes - 7 and up - does the chart A2 start on row 1 or row 2 of chart A1? Thank you -

Dear Mrs Levine, start diagrams from RS as follows: 5 front band sts, repeat the 7 sts of A.1 (increasing 1 stitch = knit 7 with light grey blue, YO) until 8 sts remain, work A.2 (1 stitch) and 5 front band stitches. From WS read diagrams from the left towards the right starting with A.2 then repeat A.1. Happy knitting!
12.09.2022 kl. 11:38Bonjour, lorsque vous signalez des corrections sur ce modèle, est ce que les explications sont changées ou bien faut-il corriger nous mêmes ? En vous remerciant pour la réponse
06.04.2022 - 23:20DROPS Design answered:
Bonjour Mme Varain, si vous avez imprimé les explications après la date des corrections, alors le modèle est juste, sinon, il peut être de sage de l'imprimer à nouveau. Bon tricot!
07.04.2022 kl. 09:49Bonjour je suis rendu à faire les rangs couleur pistache et quand je tricote cette couleur : il y a un décalage de couleur dans les motifs des moutons , pourquoi? Que dois je faire ? Merci
25.02.2022 - 16:04DROPS Design answered:
Bonjour Gigi, avez-vous bien pensé à augmenter au 2ème rang en noir, juste avant le 1er rang en pistache? en fonction de la taille vous aurez ainsi soit 3 m pistache au début de A.1 et 2 m pistache à la fin de A.1 (tailles 3/4 et 5/6 ans) ou bien 2 mailles pistache au début et à la fin de A.1 + 1 augmentation à la fin de A.1 au 1er rang pistache ((7/8, 9/10 et 11/12 ans). Bon tricot!
25.02.2022 kl. 16:09Après avoir fait dans l’empiècement le premier rang avec les jetés aux 6 mailles , le rang sur l’envers je tricote les mailles comme elles se présente mais comment je tricote le jeté pour ne pas avoir de trou ? Quand je reviens en façade je fais le deuxième rang du diagramme endroit sur endroit ? Merci
16.02.2022 - 15:45DROPS Design answered:
Bonjour Gigi, tricotez les jetés torse à l'envers sur l'envers (= en jersey - cf vidéo). Les diagrammes montrent tous les rangs du motif, autrement dit, sur l'envers, lisez le diagramme de gauche à droite et sur l'endroit de droite à gauche. Vous trouverez plus d'infos sur les diagrammes ici>/a>. Bon tricot!
16.02.2022 kl. 17:00Confused as to needle size. The ribbing with the smaller needles is fine, but when i switch to larger needles, it looks like the needles are too bog for the yarn. The project looks loose and holy. I am using lyon brand truboo yarn. Weight 3. Its a rayon from bamboo. I also noticed that the smaller needles fit the gauge that you guys gave. Should i just do the whole thing with the smaller needles? Making the 7/8 size

Dear Mrs Manzagol, did you check your tension? You should have 21 sts x 28 rows stocking stitch = 10 x 10 cm; sorry we do not know this yarn and cannot help with it; maybe contact the store where you bought the yarn for any further assistance, they should be able to help you. Happy knitting!!
19.01.2022 kl. 08:50Sto lavorando questo delizioso golfino, ma temo che la lana acquistata non sia sufficiente. Avendo contattato il negozio in cui l'ho acquistata, ed avendo ricevuto la risposta che la lana Baby Merino col. 38 ce l'hanno di bagno diverso, volevo chiedere un suggerimento: fare delle righe magari azzurre e bianche dato che sono i colori che ho usato per lo sprone? oppure qualche altra idea? Spero che riusciate a darmi una mano...il bagno che mi serve è il 48322

Buonasera Ilovedogs, può rivolgersi al suo rivenditore DROPS per un'assistenza così personalizzata, oppure può scrivere ad altri rivenditori per vedere se hanno delle rimanenze di quel bagno. Buon lavoro!
