EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN:

-------------------------------------------------------

RIDGE/GARTER STITCH (worked back and forth):
Knit all rows.
1 ridge in height = Knit 2 rows.

PATTERN:
See diagrams A.1 and A.2. The diagrams show all rows in pattern seen from the right side.

KNITTING TIP:
To avoid the knitting tension becoming tighter when working pattern, it is important that the strands at the back are not tight. Go up a needle size when working pattern if this is a problem.
INCREASE TIP-1 (evenly spaced):
All increases are worked from the right side
To work out how to increase evenly, count the total number of stitches on the needle (e.g. 107 stitches) minus bands (e.g. 10 stitches) and divide the remaining stitches by the number of increases to be made (e.g. 38) = 2.6. 
In this example, increase by making 1 yarn over after alternately each 2nd and 3rd stitch. On the next row (wrong side) purl the yarn overs twisted to avoid holes - do not increase on bands.

INCREASE TIP-2 (for sides of body):
All increases are worked from the right side!
Work until there are 4 stitches left before the marker thread, make 1 yarn over, knit 8 (marker thread sits in middle of these 8 stitches), 1 yarn over (= 2 stitches increased at each marker thread and a total of 4 stitches increased on row). On the next row purl the yarn overs twisted to avoid holes. Then work the new stitches in stocking stitch.

INCREASE TIP-3 (for mid under sleeves):
Work until there is 1 stitch left before the marker thread, make 1 yarn over, knit 2 (marker thread sits in middle of these 2 stitches), 1 yarn over (= 2 stitches increased). On the next round knit the yarn overs twisted to avoid holes. Then work the new stitches in stocking stitch.  

DECREASE TIP (for mid under sleeves): 
Work until there are 3 stitches left before the marker thread, knit 2 together, knit 2 (marker thread sits in middle of these 2 stitches), slip 1 stitch as if to knit, knit 1 and pass the slipped stitch over the knitted stitch (= 2 stitches decreased).

BUTTONHOLES:
Work buttonholes on right band (when garment is worn). Work from the right side when there are 3 stitches left on row as follows: Make 1 yarn over, knit 2 together and knit the last stitch. On the next row (wrong side) knit the yarn over to leave a hole.
First buttonhole is worked when rib in neck measures approx. 1½-2 cm. Then the other 6-6-6-6-7-7 buttonholes are worked with approx. 8-8-8½-8½-8-8 cm between each one.

-------------------------------------------------------

JACKET - SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE:
Neck and yoke are worked back and forth with circular needle from mid front, top down. The yoke is divided for body and sleeves. The body is continued back and forth with circular needle, top down. Sleeves are worked in the round with short circular needle/double pointed needles.

NECK:
Cast on 107-112-112-117-122-127 stitches (including 5 band stitches on each side towards mid front) with circular needle size 3.5 mm and light lilac. Purl 1 row (= wrong side). The next row is worked as follows from the right side: Work 5 band stitches in GARTER STITCH – read description above, * knit 2, purl 3 *, work from *-* until there are 7 stitches left on row, knit 2 and finish with 5 band stitches in garter stitch. Continue this rib for 3 cm – remember BUTTONHOLES on right band – read description above.
When the rib is finished knit 1 row from the right side where you increase 38-40-42-42-44-46 stitches evenly spaced – read INCREASE TIP-1 = 145-152-154-159-166-173 stitches. Change to circular needle size 4.5 mm. Purl 1 row from the wrong side (bands worked in garter stitch). Then work the yoke as described below.

YOKE:
Work stocking stitch back and forth with light lilac and 5 band stitches in garter stitch on each side, towards mid front. AT THE SAME TIME increase as described below. REMEMBER THE KNITTING TENSION!
When the piece measures 5-5-5-5-5-6 cm from the cast-on edge, increase 44-46-50-50-52-52 stitches evenly = 189-198-204-209-218-225 stitches.
When the piece measures 7-7-7-7-7-9 cm from the cast-on edge, increase 38-41-47-40-42-44 stitches evenly = 227-239-251-249-260-269 stitches. The increases are finished in sizes S, M and L.
XL, XXL and XXXL: When the piece measures 9-10-12 cm from the cast-on edge, increase 38-39-42 stitches evenly = 287-299-311 stitches.
ALL SIZES:
= 227-239-251-287-299-311 stitches. Continue working without further increases until the piece measures 8-9-10-11-13-15 cm from the cast-on edge.
Now start pattern on the yoke – read KNITTING TIP!
The first row is worked as follows from the right side: 5 band stitches in garter stitch, work A.1A until there are 6 stitches left on row (= 18-19-20-23-24-25 repeats of 12 stitches), work A.1B (= 1 stitch) and finish with 5 band stitches in garter stitch.
Continue this pattern. AT THE SAME TIME on each row marked with an arrow in A.1A increase as follows.
Row with arrow-1 in A.1A increase 24-36-36-36-48-48 stitches evenly spaced = 251-275-287-323-347-359 stitches (there is now room for 20-22-23-26-28-29 repeats of 12 stitches).
Row with arrow-2 in A.1A increase 24-24-36-36-36-48 stitches evenly spaced = 275-299-323-359-383-407 stitches (there is now room for 22-24-26-29-31-33 repeats of 12 stitches).
When A.1 has been completed continue with stocking stitch and 5 band stitches in garter stitch on each side and using light lilac until the piece measures 21-23-25-27-29-31 cm from the cast-on edge
The next row is worked as follows from the wrong side: Work the first 46-49-51-57-62-67 stitches in garter stitch and stocking stitch as before (= front piece), place the next 50-56-64-70-72-74 stitches on 1 thread for sleeve, cast on 8-8-10-10-12-14 new stitches on the needle (= in side under sleeve), work 83-89-93-105-115-125 stitches in stocking stitch as before (= back piece), place the next 50-56-64-70-72-74 stitches on 1 thread for sleeve, cast on 8-8-10-10-12-14 new stitches on the needle (= in side under sleeve) and work the remaining 46-49-51-57-62-67 stitches in stocking stitch and garter stitch as before (= front piece). Body and sleeves are finished separately. THE PIECE IS NOW MEASURED FROM HERE!

BODY:
= 191-203-215-239-263-287 stitches. Insert 1 marker thread 50-53-56-62-68-74 stitches in from each side (= 91-97-103-115-127-139 stitches between marker threads on back piece). Allow the marker threads to follow you work onwards; they will be used when increasing in the sides.
Work stocking stitch back and forth with light lilac and 5 band stitches in garter stitch on each side, towards mid front. When the piece measures 2-2-2-1-1-1 cm from the division, work a lace pattern border as follows from the right side: 5 band stitches in garter stitch, work A.2A until there are 18 stitches left on row (=14-15-16-18-20-22 repeats of 12 stitches), work A.2B (= 12 stitches), work A.2C (= 1 stitch) and finish with 5 band stitches in garter stitch. Continue this pattern.
When A.2 has been completed, continue with stocking stitch and 5 band stitches in garter stitch on each side towards mid front.
When the piece measures 5 cm from the division, increase 1 stitch on each side of both marker threads – read INCREASE TIP-2. Increase like this every 5 cm a total of 5 times on each side = 211-223-235-259-283-307 stitches. Continue working until the piece measures 27 cm from the division in all sizes (or to desired length; there is 3 cm left to finished length).
Knit 1 row from the right side where you increase 51-54-57-63-69-75 stitches evenly spaced = 262-277-292-322-352-382 stitches.
Change to circular needle size 3.5 mm. Work the next row as follows from the wrong side: 5 band stitches in garter stitch, * purl 2, knit 3 *, work from *-* until there are 7 stitches left on the row, purl 2 and finish with 5 band stitches in garter stitch. Continue this rib for 3 cm. Loosely cast off with garter stitch over garter stitch, knit over knit and purl over purl. The jacket measures approx. 54-56-58-60-62-64 cm from the shoulder down.

SLEEVE:
Place the 50-56-64-70-72-74 stitches from the thread on the one side of the piece on short circular needle/double pointed needles size 4.5 mm and knit up 1 stitch in each of the 8-8-10-10-12-14 stitches cast on under the sleeve = 58-64-74-80-84-88 stitches. Insert 1 marker thread in the middle of these 8-8-10-10-12-14 stitches. Allow the marker thread to follow your work onwards; it will be used when decreasing under the sleeve.
Start the round at the marker thread and work stocking stitch in the round with light lilac.
When the piece measures 2-2-2-1-1-1 cm from the division, work the next round as follows: 4-1-0-3-5-1 stitches in stocking stitch, work A.2A over the next 36-48-60-60-60-72 stitches (=3-4-5-5-5-6 repeats of 12 stitches), work A.2B (= 12 stitches, work A.2C (= 1 stitch) and finish with 5-2-1-4-6-2 stitches in stocking stitch. Continue this pattern. When A.2 has been completed continue with stocking stitch.
AT THE SAME TIME when the piece measures 3-3-3-2-2-2 cm from the division, decrease 2 stitches mid under sleeve – read DECREASE TIP. Decrease like this every 3-2-1-1-1-1 cm a total of 4-6-10-11-11-11 times = 50-52-54-58-62-66 stitches. When the sleeve measures 15-15-15-14-14-14 cm from the division, increase 2 stitches mid under sleeve – read INCREASE TIP-3. Increase like this every 3-3-2½-2½-2½-2 cm a total of 5 times in all sizes = 60-62-64-68-72-76 stitches.
Continue working until the sleeve measures 32-30-29-28-27-25 cm from the division (shorter measurements in larger sizes due to wider neck and longer yoke). Knit 1 round where you increase 15-13-16-17-18-19 stitches evenly spaced = 75-75-80-85-90-95 stitches.
Change to double pointed needles size 3.5 mm. Work rib in the round (= knit 2 / purl 3) for 3 cm. Loosely cast off with knit over knit and purl over purl. The sleeve measures approx. 35-33-32-31-30-28 cm from the division. Work the other sleeve in the same way.

ASSEMBLY:
Sew buttons onto left band.

Do you have a question? See a list of frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Knitting tension is what determines the final measurements of your work, and is usually measured per 10 x 10 cm. It is provided like so: number of stitches in width x number of rows in height - eg: 19 stitches x 26 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

The knitting tension is very individual; some people knit/crochet loosely while others work tightly. You adjust the knitting tension with the needle size, which is why the suggested needle size is only meant as a guide! You need to adjust this (up or down) to ensure that YOUR knitting tension matches the knitting tension provided in the pattern. If you work with a different knitting tension than provided you will have a different yarn consumption, and your work will have different measurements than what the pattern suggests.

The knitting tension also determines which yarns can replace each other. As long as you achieve the same knitting tension you can replace one yarn with another.

See DROPS lesson: How to measure your tension/gauge

See DROPS video: How to make a gauge tension swatch

The required amount of yarn is provided in grams, eg: 450 g. To calculate how many balls you’ll need you first need to know how many grams are in 1 ball (25g, 50g or 100g). This information is available if you click on the individual yarn quality on our pages. Divide the amount required with the amount of each ball. For example, if each ball is 50g (the most common amount), the calculation will be as follows: 450 / 50 = 9 balls.

The important thing when changing from one yarn to another is that the knitting/crochet tension remains the same. This is so that the measurements of the finished piece will be the same as on the sketch provided. It is easier to achieve the same knitting tension using yarns from the same yarn group. It is also possible to work with multiple strands of a thinner yarn to achieve the knitting tension of a thicker one. Please try our yarn converter. We recommend you to always work a test swatch.

Please NOTE: when changing yarn the garment might have a different look and feel to the garment in the photo, due to individual properties and qualities of each yarn.

See DROPS lesson: Can I use a different yarn than the one mentioned in the pattern?

All our yarns are categorised into yarn groups (from A to F) according to thickness and knitting tension – group A contains the thinnest yarns and group F the thickest. This makes it easier for you to find alternative yarns to our patterns, should you wish to switch yarn. All yarns within the same group have a similar knitting tension and can easily replace each other. However, different yarn qualities have different structures and properties which will give the finished work a unique look and feel.

Click here for an overview of the yarns in each yarn group

At the top of all our patterns you’ll find a link to our yarn calculator, which is a helpful tool should you wish to use a different yarn than suggested. By filling in the yarn quality you wish to replace, the amount (in your size) and number of strands, the calculator will present good alternative yarns with the same knitting tension. Additionally it will tell you how much you’ll require in the new qualities and whether you’ll need to work with multiple strands. Most skeins are 50g (some are 25g or 100g).

If the pattern is worked with multiple colours, every colour will have to be calculated separately. Similarly, if the pattern is worked with several strands of different yarns (for example 1 strand Alpaca and 1 strand Kid-Silk) you will have to find alternatives for each, individually.

Click here to see our yarn calculator

Since different yarns have different qualities and textures we have chosen to keep the original yarn in our patterns. However, you can easily find options among our available qualities by using our yarn calculator, or simply pick a yarn from the same yarn group.

It is possible that some retailers still have discontinued yarns in stock, or that someone has a few skeins at home that they would like to find patterns for.

The yarn calculator will provide both alternative yarn as well as required amount in the new quality.

If you think it's hard to decide what size to make, it can be a good idea to measure a garment you own already and like the size of. Then you can pick the size by comparing those measures with the ones available in the pattern's size chart.

You'll find the size chart at the bottom of the pattern.

See DROPS lesson: How to read size chart

The needle size provided in the pattern serves only as a guide, the important thing is to follow the knitting tension. And since knitting tension is very individual, you will have to adjust the needle size to ensure that YOUR tension is the same as in the pattern – maybe you’ll have to adjust 1, or even 2 needle sizes, up or down to achieve the correct tension. For this, we recommend that you work test swatches.

Should you work with a different knitting tension than the one provided, the measurements of the finished garment might deviate from the measurement sketch.

See DROPS lesson: How to measure your tension/gauge

See DROPS video: How to make a tension/gauge swatch

Working a garment top-down provides more flexibility and room for personal adjustment. For example it is easier to try the garment on while working, as well as making adjustments to length of yoke and shoulder caps.

The instructions are carefully explaining every step, in the correct order. Diagrams are adjusted to the knitting direction and are worked as usual.

The diagram depicts all rows/rounds, and every stitch seen from the right side. It is read from bottom to top, from right to left. 1 square = 1 stitch.

When working back and forth, every other row is worked from the right side and every other row is worked from the wrong side. When working from the wrong side, the diagram will have to be worked reversed: from left to right, knit stitches are purled, purl stitches are knit etc.

When working in the round every round is worked from the right side and the diagram are worked from right to left on all rounds.

See DROPS lesson: How to read knitting diagrams

The diagram depicts all rows/rounds, and every stitch seen from the right side. It is worked from bottom to top, from right to left.

When working back and forth every other row is worked from the right side: from right to left and every other row is worked from the wrong side: from left to right.

When working in the round, every row in the diagram are worked from the right side, from right to left.

When working a circular diagram you start in the middle and work your way outwards, counter clockwise, row by row.

The rows usually start with a given number of chain stitches (equivalent to the height of the following stitch), this will either be depicted in the diagram or explained in the pattern.

See DROPS lesson: How to read crochet diagrams

Instructions for working several diagrams after each other on the same row/round, will often be written like so: “work A.1, A.2, A.3 a total of 0-0-2-3-4 times". This means you work A.1 once, then A.2 is worked once, and A.3 is repeated (in width) the number of times provided for your size – in this case like so: S = 0 times, M = 0 times, L=2 times, XL= 3 times and XXL = 4 times.

The diagrams are worked as usual: begin with the first row in A.1, then work the first row in A.2 etc.

See DROPS lesson: How to read knitting diagrams

See DROPS lesson: How to read crochet diagrams

The total width of the garment (from wrist-to-wrist) will be larger in the larger sizes, despite the actual sleeves being shorter. The larger sizes have longer sleeve caps and wider shoulders, so there will be a good fit in all sizes.

The measurement sketch/schematic drawing provides information regarding the full length of the garment. If it’s a jumper or a jacket the length is measured from the highest point on the shoulder closest to the neckline, and straight down to the bottom of the garment. It is NOT measured from the tip of shoulder. Similarly, the length of yoke is measured from the highest point on the shoulder and down to where yoke is split into body and sleeves.

On a jacket measures are never taken along bands, unless specifically stated. Always measure inside band stitches when measuring the length.

See DROPS lesson: How to read a schematic drawing

Diagrams are often repeated on the round or in height. 1 repeat is the diagram the way it appears in the pattern. If it says to work 5 repeats of A.1 in the round, then you work A.1 a total of 5 times after/next to each other in the round. If it says to work 2 repeats of A.1 vertically/in height you work the entire diagram once, then begin again at the start and work the entire diagram one more time.

Chain stitches are slightly narrower than other stitches and to avoid working the cast-on edge too tight, we simply chain more stitches to begin with. The stitch count will be adjusted on the following row to fit the pattern and measurement sketch.

The rib edge is more elastic and will contract slightly compared to, for example, stocking stitch. By increasing before the rib edge, you avoid a visible difference in width between the rib edge and the rest of the body.

It’s very easy to cast off too tightly, and by making yarn overs while casting off (and simultaneously casting these off) you avoid a too tight cast off edge.

See DROPS video: How to bind off with yarn overs (yo)

To achieve an even increase (or decrease) you can increase on, for example: every 3rd and 4th row alternately, like so: work 2 rows and increase on the 3rd row, work 3 rows and increase on the 4th. Repeat this until the increase is complete.

See DROPS lesson: Increase or decrease 1 st on every 3rd and 4th row alternately

Should you prefer to work in the round instead of back and forth, you may of course adjust the pattern. You’ll need to add steeks mid-front (usually 5 stitches), and follow the instructions. When you would normally turn and work from the wrong side, simply work across the steek and continue in the round. At the end you’ll cut the piece open, pick up stitches to work bands, and cover the cut edges.

See DROPS video: How to knit steeks and cut open

Should you prefer to work back and forth instead of in the round, you may of course adjust the pattern so you work the pieces separately and then assemble them at the end. Divide the stitches for the body in 2, add 1 edge stitch in each side (for sewing) and work the front and back pieces separately.

See DROPS lesson: Can I adapt a pattern for circular needles into straight needles?

Pattern repeats can vary slightly in the different sizes, in order to get the correct proportions. If you’re not working the exact same size as the garment in the photo, yours might deviate slightly. This has been carefully developed and adjusted so that the complete impression of the garment is the same in all sizes.

Make sure to follow instructions and diagrams for your size!

If you have found a pattern you like which is available in women’s size it’s not very difficult to convert it to men’s size. The biggest difference will be the length of sleeves and body. Start working on the women size that you think would fit across the chest. The additional length will be worked right before you cast off for the armhole/sleeve cap. If the pattern is worked top-down you can add the length right after the armhole or before the first decrease on sleeve.

Regarding additional yarn amount, this will depend on how much length you add, but it is better with a skein too many than too few.

All yarns will have excess fibres (from production) that might come off as lint or shedding. Brushed yarns (ie hairier yarns) have more of these loose, excess fibres, causing more shedding.

Shedding also depends on what is worn under or over the garment, and whether this pulls at the yarn fibres. It’s therefore not possible to guarantee that there will be no shedding

Below are some tips on how to get the best result when working with hairier yarns:

1. When the garment is finished (before you wash it) shake it vigorously so the looser hairs come off. NOTE: do NOT use a lint roller, brush or any method that pulls at the yarn.

2. Place the garment in a plastic bag and put it in your freezer - the temperature will cause the fibres to become less attached to each other, and excess fibres will come off easier.

3. Leave in the freezer for a few hours before taking it out and shaking it again.

4. Wash the garment according to the instructions on the yarn label.

Pilling is a natural process that happens to even the most exclusive of fibers. It's a natural sign of wear and tear that is hard to avoid, and that is most visible in high friction areas of your garment like a sweater's arms and cuffs.

You can make your garment look as new by removing the pilling, using a fabric comb or a pill/lint remover.

I’m sorry I did t specify which pattern I’m doing. I m doing the rosewood cardigan pattern and doing it in the round. I’m making an xl and am at the point of the yolk colorwork design. With 359 stitches on the needles the pattern does not work evenly for me doing 12 section repeats. What am I doing wrong?

11.10.2022 - 20:48

DROPS Design answered:

Hi Diana, In size XL, you have 287 stitches on the needle, after all the increases and before starting the pattern. You start the row with 5 band stitches, repeat A.1a 23 times (12 x 23 = 276 stitches), work A.1b (1 stitch) and 5 band stitches. 5+276+1+5 = 287 stitches. Hope this helps and happy knitting!

Buongiorno Benedetta. Nel grafico trova tutti i ferri, sia quelli lavorati sul diritto che quelli lavorati sul rovescio del lavoro. Il motivo jacquard, in una lavorazione in ferri di andata e ritorno, presenta maglie lavorate con i diversi colori sia sul sia diritto che sul rovescio del lavoro. Buon lavoro!

Buongiorno, non mi trovo con il numero di maglie per la taglia M. Dopo il il terzo aumento per lo sprone a cm 7 bisogna aumentare 42 maglie quindi il totale fa 241 e non 239 come da voi indicato. Quante maglie quindi bisogna aumentare. Grazie. Buona giornata. Anna

Buongiorno Anna. Abbiamo corretto il testo: gli aumenti da fare sono 41. Prima degli aumenti c'erano 198 maglie. Alla fine degli aumenti avrà: 198 + 41 = 239 maglie. La ringraziamo per la segnalazione. Buon lavoro!

J’ai commencé ce modèle et j’ai de la difficulté à comprendre ce que je dois faire à l’envers dans la section du jacquard. Est-ce que je dois répéter la ligne à l’envers ou dois-je faire seulement un rang envers? Les motifs ne sont pas similaires à la photo.\r\nMerci

Bonjour Mylène, sur l'endroit vous lisez les diagrammes de droite à gauche ainsi: 5 m de bordure devant, vous répétez A.1A jusqu'à ce qu'il reste 6 m, vous tricotez A.1B et terminez par 5 m de bordure devant. Sur l'envers, tricotez 5 m point mousse, puis A.1B, et répétez A.1A en lisant le diagramme de gauche à droite, et terminez par 5 m point mousse. Le diagramme se lit de bas en haut, et comme le gilet se tricote de haut en bas, le diagramme est inversé par rapport à la photo. Bon tricot!

Je ne trouve pas d'explications ,sur les sigles au début du diagramme A.1A et A.2B et A-2A. si je me refaire à la légende ,je déduis que le rond,correspond à un jetée,et que les 2carrés barrés,correspondes à 2 mailles tricotées ensemble .N'aurait il pas été plus clair,de mettre ceci dans la légende.pour moi qui fait mon premier jacquard,c'est pas clair... Merci d'avance de votre réponse. dom.

Bonjour Dominique, vous retrouvez les 2 carrés barrés dans la légende = 4ème symbole et le jeté est le 3ème symbole de la légende. Tous les symboles du diagramme sont donc bien répertoriés. Bon tricot!

Thank you for your beautiful free patterns.\r\n\r\nI’m about to the start Chart 1. The instructions say “pattern seen from the right side.”. I understand this to mean when I’m knitting the wrong side, I still read it from right side. How does this work for A1.b? On the wrong side, this is the first stitch after the 5 garter stitch. Am I understanding correctly? Thanks.

Dear Mrs McCormack, when reading the diagram from the RS you will repeat A.1A then finish with A.1B (before the 5 front band sts). When working from WS, work the 5 front band sts, then work A.1B, and repeat A.1A (reading diagram from the left towards the right). Read more about diagrams here. Happy knitting!

Hello. Thank you for all your free patterns. I have several in mind to make. Are you done publishing all the Spring & Summer collection? I didn’t see the blue with bell cream/blue striped sleeves or the multicolor poncho. Will these and others be published soon? Thank you.

Dear Mrs McCormack, more patterns from our Spring & Summer collection will be published in the next weeks/months until approximately July. Happy knitting!
