EXPLANATION FOR THE PATTERN:
----------------------------------------------------------
GARTER STITCH (back and forth):
1 ridge = knit 2 rows.
PATTERN:
See diagram A.1. Choose diagram for your size.
Diagrams show all rows in pattern seen from the right side!
MEASURING TIP:
All length measurements are done when piece is flat but because of weight of the garment the length will be approx. 6-8 cm = 2 3/8”-3 1/8” longer when worn.
You can do all length measurements when holding the piece up to better control the length but note that you might not get the same number of reports vertically with A.1 as on picture.

JACKET - SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE GARMENT:
Piece is worked back and forth on circular needle, bottom up, in parts. Cast on stitches for sleeve in the sides and work until finished measurements. Then sew piece together.
BACK PIECE:
Cast on 43-45-47-51-55-59 stitches on circular needle size 15 mm = US 19 with 4 strands Air. Work 2 ridges in GARTER STITCH - read explanation above. Then work 2 rows in stockinette stitch with 2 edge stitches in garter stitch in each side. Work next row as follows from right side: 2 edge stitches in garter stitch, 15-16-17-18-20-22 stitches in stockinette stitch, work A.1 (= 9-9-9-11-11-11 stitches), work 15-16-17-18-20-22 stitches in stockinette stitch and finish with 2 edge stitches in garter stitch. Continue pattern like this. REMEMBER THE KNITTING GAUGE!
When piece measures 44-45-46-47-48-49 cm = 17 1/4”-17 3/4”-18”-18 1/2”-19”-19 1/4” - read MEASURING TIP, cast on 16-16-16-14-13-12 new stitches for sleeve at the end of the next 2 rows = 75-77-79-79-81-83 stitches on needle.
Work next row as follows from right side: 3 edge stitches in garter stitch, 30-31-32-31-32-33 stitches in stockinette stitch, continue A.1 over the next 9-9-9-11-11-11 stitches, work 30-31-32-31-32-33 stitches in stockinette stitch and finish with 3 edge stitches in garter stitch.

On next row (right side) bind off the middle 7-7-7-9-9-9 stitches for neck and finish each shoulder separately = 34-35-36-35-36-37 stitches remain on each shoulder. Knit 1 row from wrong side and loosely bind off by knitting from right side. Work the other shoulder the same way. Back piece measures approx. 74-76-78-80-82-84 cm = 29 1/8”-30”-30 3/4”-31 1/2”-32 1/4”-33” from shoulder and down, measured flat.

ASSEMBLY:
Sew shoulder seams inside bind-off edge. Sew under sleeve and side seams in one - sew side seams in outer loops of edge stitch to get a flat seam but stop seam when approx. 25-30 cm = 9 3/4”-11 3/4” remain in each side (= vent).
Sew collar tog mid back with grafting/kitchener stitches (make sure that seam is turned inwards when collar is folded down). Sew collar to neckline in the back of neck.

The instruction on how to complete and assemble the collar is not clear to me. I will find a solution that will be different but ok. I wish there were clearer images of how to assemble the pieces.

04.10.2021 kl. 00:22Drops air, ved at strikke comfort zone trøje. Problemet er at garnet fælder/ nuller så meget at man er helt overfyldt med det. Er der nogen der ved hvad man kan gøre ved det?, kan man vaske det eller ??
04.07.2019 - 09:45DROPS Design answered:
Hej Trine, Der vil altid være lidt løse fibre i garn og særligt i garn hvor tråden er børstet (altså langhårede garner). Garnet kan også fælde om det bruges under eller over andet tøj som trækker i fibrene, det er derfor ikke muligt at garantere at tøjet bliver helt fri for at fælde. Ryst tøjet godt før du tager det i brug. NB! Brug hverken tøjrulle eller andre metoder som trækker fibrene ud. Eller læg det i en plasticpose og put det ind i fryseren et par timer - ved at udsætte tøjet for frost vil fibrene ikke længere klistre sig så godt sammen og det vil være lettere at ryste løse fibre af.
