EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN:
-------------------------------------------------------
PATTERN:
See diagrams A.1 to A.4. Choose diagram for your size (applies to A.2 and A.3)
INCREASE TIP-1 (evenly spaced):
To work out how to increase evenly, count the total number of stitches on the needle (e.g. 117 stitches) and divide by the number of increases to be made (e.g. 39) = 3.
In this example, increase by making 1 yarn over after each 3rd stitch. On the next round knit the yarn overs twisted to avoid holes
INCREASE TIP-2 (for sides of body and mid under sleeves):
Increase on each side of the rib as described below:
Work as far as A.3, make 1 yarn over, work A.3 (= 16-16-16-22-22-22 stitches - marker thread sits in middle of these 16-16-16-22-22-22 stitches), make 1 yarn over (= 2 stitches increased). On the next round knit the yarn overs twisted to avoid holes. Then work the new stitches in stockinette stitch.
DECREASE TIP (for sides of body and mid under sleeves):
Decrease on each side of A.3 as described below:
Work until there are 2 stitches left before A.3, knit 2 together, work A.3 (= 16-16-16-22-22-22 stitches - marker thread sits in middle of these 16-16-16-22-22-22 stitches), slip 1 stitch as if to knit, knit 1 and pass the slipped stitch over the knitted stitch (= 2 stitches decreased).

SWEATER - SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE:
Neck and yoke are worked in the round with circular needle, top down. The yoke is divided for body and sleeves. The body is continued in the round with circular needle. The sleeves are worked in the round with short circular needle/double pointed needles, top down.
NECK:
Cast on 117-120-123-129-132-138 stitches with short circular needle size 2.5 mm = US 1,5 and Flora. Knit 1 round then work rib in the round (= knit 1, purl 2) for 3-3-3-4-4-4 cm = 1 1/8”-1 1/8”-1 1/8”-1 1/2”-1 1/2”-1 1/2”. When the rib is finished knit 1 round where you increase 39-40-41-43-44-46 stitches evenly spaced – read INCREASE TIP-1 = 156-160-164-172-176-184 stitches. Then work the yoke as described below.
YOKE:
Change to circular needle size 3 mm = US 2,5 and work stockinette stitch in the round. REMEMBER THE KNITTING GAUGE!
When the piece measures 4-5-6-6-7-7 cm = 1 1/2”-2”-2 3/8”-2 3/8”-2 3/4”-2 3/4” from the cast-on edge increase 12-32-40-44-52-56 stitches evenly spaced = 168-192-204-216-228-240 stitches.
When the piece measures 5-6-7-8-9-9 cm = 2”-2 3/8”-2 3/4”-3 1/8”-3 1/2” from the cast-on edge start the leaf pattern; i.e. work A.1 in the round (= 14-16-17-18-19-20 repeats of 12 stitches). Continue this pattern.
When A.1 has been completed there are 308-352-374-396-418-440 stitches on the needle.
Work A.2 in the round. AT THE SAME TIME on the round marked with an arrow in A.2 increase 16-8-10-28-34-40 stitches evenly spaced = 324-360-384-424-452-480 stitches on needle.
When A.2 has been completed, continue with stockinette stitch until the piece measures 21-23-25-27-29-31 cm = 8 1/4”-9”-9 3/4”-10 5/8”-11 3/8”-12 1/4” from the cast-on edge. Now divide the yoke for body and sleeves on the next round as follows: Work 48-53-56-62-68-74 stitches in stockinette stitch (= ½ back piece), place the next 65-73-79-87-89-91 stitches on 1 thread for sleeve, cast on 8-8-12-12-14-16 new stitches on needle (= in side under sleeve), work 97-107-113-125-137-149 stitches in stockinette stitch (= front piece), place the next 65-73-79-87-89-91 stitches on 1 thread for sleeve, cast on 8-8-12-12-14-16 new stitches on needle (= in side under sleeve) and work the remaining 49-54-57-63-69-75 stitches in stockinette stitch (= ½ back piece). Cut the strand. Then finish body and sleeves separately. THE PIECE IS NOW MEASURED FROM HERE!
BODY:
= 210-230-250-274-302-330 stitches. Insert 1 marker thread on each side of the body in the middle of the 8-8-12-12-14-16 stitches cast on under each sleeve. The threads mark sides of body. Start the round by one of the marker threads and work stockinette stitch in the round with A.3 over the middle 16-16-16-22-22-22 stitches on each side of the body (threads sit in the middle of each A.3). Continue this pattern.
When the piece measures 2 cm from the division decrease 1 stitch on each side of A.3 on each side – read DECREASE TIP (= 4 stitches decreased). Decrease like this every 1½ cm = 1/2” a total of 5 times on each side = 190-210-230-254-282-310 stitches.
When the piece measures 13 cm = 5 1/8” from the division increase 1 stitch on each side of A.3 on each side – read INCREASE TIP-2 (= 4 stitches increased). Increase like this every 2½ cm = 1 1/4” a total of 5 times on each side = 210-230-250-274-302-330 stitches.
Continue working until the piece measures 25 cm = 9 3/4” from the division in all sizes (or to desired length; there is 3 cm = 1 1/8” left to finished length).
On the next round increase as follows: Work A.3 as before over the first 8-8-8-11-11-11 stitches on the round, work 89-99-109-115-129-143 stitches in stockinette stitch and increase at the same time 27-26-31-34-35-39 stitches evenly spaced over these 89-99-109-115-129-143 stitches, continue A.3 over the next 16-16-16-22-22-22 stitches as before, work 89-99-109-115-129-143 stitches in stockinette stitch and increase at the same time 27-26-31-34-35-39 stitches evenly spaced over these 89-99-109-115-129-143 stitches, continue A.3 over the remaining 8-8-8-11-11-11 stitches as before = 264-282-312-342-372-408 stitches. This increase is to prevent the rib being tight.
Change to circular needle size 2.5 mm = US 1,5 and work rib in the round (= knit 1/ purl 2) for 3 cm = 1 1/8” and make sure the rib fits neatly over A.3 on each side. Change to circular needle size 3 mm = US 2,5 and loosely bind off with knit over knit and purl over purl (use a larger needle size to avoid the bind-off edge being tight). The sweater measures approx. 52-54-56-58-60-62 cm = 20 1/2"-21 1/4"-22"-22 3/4"-23 5/8"-24 3/8" from the shoulder down.
SLEEVE:
Place the 65-73-79-87-89-91 stitches from the thread on the one side of the piece on short circular needle/double pointed needles size 3 mm = US 2,5 and knit up 1 stitch in each of the 8-8-12-12-14-16 stitches cast on under the sleeve = 73-81-91-99-103-107 stitches. Insert 1 marker thread in the middle of the 8-8-12-12-14-16 new stitches. The marker thread marks mid under sleeve and the start of the round.
Work A.3 mid under sleeve (marker thread sits in middle of A.3) and the remaining stitches in stockinette stitch.
When the piece measures 2-2-1-1-1-1 cm = 3/4”-3/4”-3/8”-3/8”-3/8”-3/8” from the division decrease 1 stitch on each side of A.3 – read DECREASE TIP (= 2 stitches decreased). Decrease like this every 1½-1-1-1-1-1 cm = 1/2”-3/8”-3/8”-3/8”-3/8”-3/8” a total of 6-9-13-12-12-13 times = 61-63-65-75-79-81 stitches.
When the piece measures 13-13-15-14-14-15 cm from the division increase 1 stitch on each side of A.3 – read INCREASE TIP-2 (= 2 stitches increased). Increase like this every 1½-1½-1-1-1-1 cm a total of 8-7-6-7-5-4 times = 77-77-77-89-89-89 stitches.
Continue working until the sleeve measures 25-24-22-22-20-19 cm = 5 1/8”-5 1/8”-6”-5 1/2”-5 1/2”-6” from the division (shorter measurements in larger sizes due to wider neck and longer yoke). The increases are now finished and the lace pattern at bottom of sleeves starts here. Work the next round as follows: Continue with A.3 as before over the first 8-8-8-11-11-11 stitches, work 0-0-0-3-3-3 stitches in stockinette stitch, A.4 over the next 60 stitches (= 5 repeats of 12 stitches in all sizes), work 1-1-1-4-4-4 stitches in stockinette stitch and finish with A.3 over the remaining 8-8-8-11-11-11 stitches as before.
When A.4 has been completed in height, work 1 round with stockinette stitch and A.3 as before where you increase 19-19-19-25-25-25 stitches evenly spaced over the 61-61-61-67-67-67 stitches which are not rib = 96-96-96-114-114-114 stitches. Change to short circular needle/double pointed needles size 2.5 mm = US 1,5 and work rib in the round (= knit 1, purl 2 – the rib fits neatly over A.3 mid under sleeve).
When the rib measures 2 cm = 3/4” increase every other purl 2 to purl 3 = 112-112-112-133-133-133 stitches. When the rib measures 4 cm = 1 1/2” increase the remaining purl 2 to purl 3 = 128-128-128-152-152-152 stitches. Continue working until the sleeve measures approx. 34-33-31-31-29-28 cm = 13 3/8”-13”-12 1/4”-12 1/4”-11 3/8”-11” from the division (rib measures approx. 6 cm = 2 3/8”). Change to short circular needle size 3 mm = US 2,5 and loosely bind off with knit over knit and purl over purl. Work the other sleeve in the same way.

In this example, increase by making 1 yarn over after each 3rd stitch. On the next round knit the yarn overs twisted to avoid holes
INCREASE TIP-2 (for sides of body and mid under sleeves):
Increase on each side of the rib as described below:
Work as far as A.3, make 1 yarn over, work A.3 (= 16-16-16-22-22-22 stitches - marker thread sits in middle of these 16-16-16-22-22-22 stitches), make 1 yarn over (= 2 stitches increased). On the next round knit the yarn overs twisted to avoid holes. Then work the new stitches in stockinette stitch.
DECREASE TIP (for sides of body and mid under sleeves):

NECK:
Cast on 117-120-123-129-132-138 stitches with short circular needle size 2.5 mm = US 1,5 and Flora. Knit 1 round then work rib in the round (= knit 1, purl 2) for 3-3-3-4-4-4 cm = 1 1/8”-1 1/8”-1 1/8”-1 1/2”-1 1/2”-1 1/2”. When the rib is finished knit 1 round where you increase 39-40-41-43-44-46 stitches evenly spaced – read INCREASE TIP-1 = 156-160-164-172-176-184 stitches. Then work the yoke as described below.
YOKE:
Change to circular needle size 3 mm = US 2,5 and work stockinette stitch in the round. REMEMBER THE KNITTING GAUGE!
When the piece measures 4-5-6-6-7-7 cm = 1 1/2”-2”-2 3/8”-2 3/8”-2 3/4”-2 3/4” from the cast-on edge increase 12-32-40-44-52-56 stitches evenly spaced = 168-192-204-216-228-240 stitches.
When the piece measures 5-6-7-8-9-9 cm = 2”-2 3/8”-2 3/4”-3 1/8”-3 1/2” from the cast-on edge start the leaf pattern; i.e. work A.1 in the round (= 14-16-17-18-19-20 repeats of 12 stitches). Continue this pattern.
When A.1 has been completed there are 308-352-374-396-418-440 stitches on the needle.
Work A.2 in the round. AT THE SAME TIME on the round marked with an arrow in A.2 increase 16-8-10-28-34-40 stitches evenly spaced = 324-360-384-424-452-480 stitches on needle.
When A.2 has been completed, continue with stockinette stitch until the piece measures 21-23-25-27-29-31 cm = 8 1/4”-9”-9 3/4”-10 5/8”-11 3/8”-12 1/4” from the cast-on edge. Now divide the yoke for body and sleeves on the next round as follows: Work 48-53-56-62-68-74 stitches in stockinette stitch (= ½ back piece), place the next 65-73-79-87-89-91 stitches on 1 thread for sleeve, cast on 8-8-12-12-14-16 new stitches on needle (= in side under sleeve), work 97-107-113-125-137-149 stitches in stockinette stitch (= front piece), place the next 65-73-79-87-89-91 stitches on 1 thread for sleeve, cast on 8-8-12-12-14-16 new stitches on needle (= in side under sleeve) and work the remaining 49-54-57-63-69-75 stitches in stockinette stitch (= ½ back piece). Cut the strand. Then finish body and sleeves separately. THE PIECE IS NOW MEASURED FROM HERE!
BODY:
= 210-230-250-274-302-330 stitches. Insert 1 marker thread on each side of the body in the middle of the 8-8-12-12-14-16 stitches cast on under each sleeve. The threads mark sides of body. Start the round by one of the marker threads and work stockinette stitch in the round with A.3 over the middle 16-16-16-22-22-22 stitches on each side of the body (threads sit in the middle of each A.3). Continue this pattern.
When the piece measures 2 cm from the division decrease 1 stitch on each side of A.3 on each side – read DECREASE TIP (= 4 stitches decreased). Decrease like this every 1½ cm = 1/2” a total of 5 times on each side = 190-210-230-254-282-310 stitches.
When the piece measures 13 cm = 5 1/8” from the division increase 1 stitch on each side of A.3 on each side – read INCREASE TIP-2 (= 4 stitches increased). Increase like this every 2½ cm = 1 1/4” a total of 5 times on each side = 210-230-250-274-302-330 stitches.
Continue working until the piece measures 25 cm = 9 3/4” from the division in all sizes (or to desired length; there is 3 cm = 1 1/8” left to finished length).
On the next round increase as follows: Work A.3 as before over the first 8-8-8-11-11-11 stitches on the round, work 89-99-109-115-129-143 stitches in stockinette stitch and increase at the same time 27-26-31-34-35-39 stitches evenly spaced over these 89-99-109-115-129-143 stitches, continue A.3 over the next 16-16-16-22-22-22 stitches as before, work 89-99-109-115-129-143 stitches in stockinette stitch and increase at the same time 27-26-31-34-35-39 stitches evenly spaced over these 89-99-109-115-129-143 stitches, continue A.3 over the remaining 8-8-8-11-11-11 stitches as before = 264-282-312-342-372-408 stitches. This increase is to prevent the rib being tight.
Change to circular needle size 2.5 mm = US 1,5 and work rib in the round (= knit 1/ purl 2) for 3 cm = 1 1/8” and make sure the rib fits neatly over A.3 on each side. Change to circular needle size 3 mm = US 2,5 and loosely bind off with knit over knit and purl over purl (use a larger needle size to avoid the bind-off edge being tight). The sweater measures approx. 52-54-56-58-60-62 cm = 20 1/2"-21 1/4"-22"-22 3/4"-23 5/8"-24 3/8" from the shoulder down.
SLEEVE:
Place the 65-73-79-87-89-91 stitches from the thread on the one side of the piece on short circular needle/double pointed needles size 3 mm = US 2,5 and knit up 1 stitch in each of the 8-8-12-12-14-16 stitches cast on under the sleeve = 73-81-91-99-103-107 stitches. Insert 1 marker thread in the middle of the 8-8-12-12-14-16 new stitches. The marker thread marks mid under sleeve and the start of the round.
Work A.3 mid under sleeve (marker thread sits in middle of A.3) and the remaining stitches in stockinette stitch.
When the piece measures 2-2-1-1-1-1 cm = 3/4”-3/4”-3/8”-3/8”-3/8”-3/8” from the division decrease 1 stitch on each side of A.3 – read DECREASE TIP (= 2 stitches decreased). Decrease like this every 1½-1-1-1-1-1 cm = 1/2”-3/8”-3/8”-3/8”-3/8”-3/8” a total of 6-9-13-12-12-13 times = 61-63-65-75-79-81 stitches.
When the piece measures 13-13-15-14-14-15 cm from the division increase 1 stitch on each side of A.3 – read INCREASE TIP-2 (= 2 stitches increased). Increase like this every 1½-1½-1-1-1-1 cm a total of 8-7-6-7-5-4 times = 77-77-77-89-89-89 stitches.
Continue working until the sleeve measures 25-24-22-22-20-19 cm = 5 1/8”-5 1/8”-6”-5 1/2”-5 1/2”-6” from the division (shorter measurements in larger sizes due to wider neck and longer yoke). The increases are now finished and the lace pattern at bottom of sleeves starts here. Work the next round as follows: Continue with A.3 as before over the first 8-8-8-11-11-11 stitches, work 0-0-0-3-3-3 stitches in stockinette stitch, A.4 over the next 60 stitches (= 5 repeats of 12 stitches in all sizes), work 1-1-1-4-4-4 stitches in stockinette stitch and finish with A.3 over the remaining 8-8-8-11-11-11 stitches as before.
When A.4 has been completed in height, work 1 round with stockinette stitch and A.3 as before where you increase 19-19-19-25-25-25 stitches evenly spaced over the 61-61-61-67-67-67 stitches which are not rib = 96-96-96-114-114-114 stitches. Change to short circular needle/double pointed needles size 2.5 mm = US 1,5 and work rib in the round (= knit 1, purl 2 – the rib fits neatly over A.3 mid under sleeve).
When the rib measures 2 cm = 3/4” increase every other purl 2 to purl 3 = 112-112-112-133-133-133 stitches. When the rib measures 4 cm = 1 1/2” increase the remaining purl 2 to purl 3 = 128-128-128-152-152-152 stitches. Continue working until the sleeve measures approx. 34-33-31-31-29-28 cm = 13 3/8”-13”-12 1/4”-12 1/4”-11 3/8”-11” from the division (rib measures approx. 6 cm = 2 3/8”). Change to short circular needle size 3 mm = US 2,5 and loosely bind off with knit over knit and purl over purl. Work the other sleeve in the same way.

Then, working from the right side, pass the 5th stitch over the first stitch, the 4th stitch over the first stitch, the 3rd stitch over the first stitch and finally the 2nd stitch over the first stitch (= 1 stitch left). |

A.1 rida 25,27 ja 29. Kas need kolmnurkadega sümbolid ei praks vastupidi olema? Järgmiste ridade parempidised silmused muidu ei klapi ju.

Bonjour Mme Pichard, dans la grande taille, vous tricotez 20 fois A.1 en largeur (= 20 fois 12 mailles = 240 mailles. Quand le diagramme A.1 est terminé, vous avez 22 mailles x 20 fois = 440 mailles. Vous trouverez ici comment lire un diagramme si besoin. Bon tricot!
05.10.2020 kl. 11:44Bonjour. Est il possible de faire le modèle à deux aiguilles au lieu de l'aiguille circulaire avec laquelle je ne suis pas à l'aise,merci de votre réponse. Cord

07.09.2020 kl. 10:24Hej. Hvordan tænker I, at man skal strikke A3 over blot 8 masker på ærmet, når A3 går over 16 masker? Venlig hilsen, Hanne
07.04.2020 - 21:28DROPS Design answered:
Hei Hanne. Du har satt en merketråd midt under ermet. Merketråden markerer midt under ermet og omgangen starter ved merketråden. Når du skal strikke etter A.3 avpass slik at du starter midt i A.3, slik at du strikker 4-6-6-7 -8 masker av A.3, deretter glattstrikk og så strikkes det etter A.3 igjen, enten 4-6-6-7 -8 masker. God Fornøyelse!
15.04.2020 kl. 14:14Hi, I am currently knitting this beautiful jumper, however do you have the cables in the pattern the wrong way round?
28.08.2019 - 15:38DROPS Design answered:
Dear Mello, not sure what you are meaning here, the small cables over 2 stitches (= 8th and 9th symbols) are worked as explained under diagram key. Should this help you? Happy knitting!

22.07.2019 kl. 07:35Jag undrar om beskrivningarna för de vridna maskorna på rad 25, 27, 29 har blivit omkastade. Som de är ritade borde det var tvärt om (räta maskan på vänstersidan ska luta åt höger och vice versa), och det borde även se bättre ut (som en sammanhängande gren), men beskrivningen ger ju motsatt effekt.
11.07.2019 - 20:28Bonjour à toute l'équipe Je réalise la première manche en taille M, et j'en suis après les 7 x augmentations, j'ai doc bien 77 mailles. Seulement je ne comprends pas la suite, car je ne retrouve ^pas le bon nombre de mailles, soit 77. d'après vos explications, je dois faire : 4 m de A3, 60 m de A4 (15m x 5 dessins), 1m, 4m de A3 = 4 +60+1+4= 69 m au lieu de 77 m Pouvez vous m'aider s'il vous plait. Cordialement.
29.04.2019 - 22:40DROPS Design answered:
Bonjour Mme Hochet, on tricote A.3 au-dessus des 8 premières mailles et des 8 dernières mailles, A.3 = 16 m du milieu sous la manche, vous tricotez ainsi les 16 m de A.3 comme avant, puis 5 x A.4 (= 60 m ) et 1 m jersey = 8 (= les 8 dernières m de A.3 = début du tour) + 60 + 1 + 8 (= les 8 premières m de A.3 = fin du tour) = 77 m. Bon tricot!
30.04.2019 kl. 10:02Grazie e eccomi con un nuovo quesito. Sto per iniziare il giro che precede le noccioline. (30mo giro) dal diagramma sembra che la costina di una maglia dritta di sposti. Ma nella foto continua dritta sino alla nocciolina finale. Quindi....? Grazie mille
26.04.2019 - 16:34DROPS Design answered:
Buongiorno Silvana. Nel grafico sembra spostata perchè nel giro precedente ci sono due maglie gettate al centro del diagramma, quindi 2 maglie in più. L'ultima m del giro, coincide con l'ultima maglia del giro precedente, quindi la costina continua dritta. Buon lavoro!
