EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN:

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

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

GARTER STITCH BAND (worked back and forth like this because of English rib pattern):
ROW 1 (= from right side): Knit.
ROW 2 (= from right side): Purl.
ROW 3 (= from wrong side): Purl.
ROW 4 (= from wrong side): Knit.

PATTERN:
See diagrams A.1 and A.2. Choose diagram for your size. First work A.1A/A.2A (= rib on neck). When A.A has been worked 1 time in height work A.1B/A.2B over A.A. When A.B has been worked 1 time in height work A.1C/A.2C over A.B.

STRIPES:
When working 2-coloured English rib, work back and forth with circular needle as follows: Work row 1 from the right side with colour-2, push all stitches back to the other end of the circular needle so the next row is also worked from the right side with colour-1.
Then turn the piece, work 1 row from the wrong side with colour-2, push all stitches back to the other end of the circular needle so the next row is also worked from the wrong side with colour-1.
So you work 2 rows from the right side with different colours and 2 rows from the wrong side with different colours.
Work stripes in English rib, i.e. colour-1 = used for knitted stitch from right side and colour-2 = used for purled stitch from right side.
Adjust so that each stripe finishes after 2 rows from the wrong side.
STRIPE 1: Colour-1 = lavender, colour-2 = off white. Work until the piece measures 5 cm at the shortest point.
STRIPE 2: Colour-1 = grey blue, colour-2 = off white. Work until the piece measures a total of 9 cm at the shortest point.
STRIPE 3: Colour-1 = off white, colour-2 = lavender. Work until A.1c and A.2c have been worked 1 time in height.
The last row in the diagram is worked with lavender from the right side. Then continue the stripes on yoke and body as follows (bands in garter stitch are worked as before):
ROW 1: Purl with off white.
ROW 2: Knit with lavender. Push all stitches to other end of circular needle so the next row is also from the wrong side.
ROW 3 (= wrong side): Knit with off white.
ROW 4 (= right side): Purl with lavender. Push all stitches to other end of circular needle so the next row is also from the right side.
Repeat rows 1 to 4.

KNITTING TIP-1:
If you are in doubt about which colour to use on next row, you can see the colour used on the previous row by looking at the bands.

KNITTING TIP-2:
All stitch counts when working English rib are without yarn overs, because the yarn overs belong to the knitted stitches and are therefore counted as 1 stitch (unless otherwise stated).

DECREASE TIP (for mid under sleeves):
Decrease 1 stitch on each side of the marker thread as follows: Work until there are 3 stitches left before the marker thread, purl 2 together, purl 2 (marker thread sits between these 2 stitches), purl 2 stitches twisted together (2 stitches decreased).

INCREASE TIP-1 (evenly spaced):
To work out how to increase evenly, count the total number of stitches on the needle (e.g. 331 stitches) minus bands (e.g. 10 stitches) and divide the remaining stitches by the number of increases to be made (e.g. 4) = 80.25.
In this example, increase by making 1 yarn over after approx. each 80th stitch. Do not increase on bands. On the next row (wrong side) work the yarn overs twisted to avoid holes.

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

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, work 2 together and work the last stitch. On the next row (wrong side) work the yarn over normally to leave a hole (ie:
The first buttonhole is worked when the neck measures 1½-2 cm. Then work the other 5-5-6-6-6-6 buttonholes with approx. 9-9-8-8-8½-9 cm between each one.

START THE PIECE HERE:

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

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 worked in 2-coloured English rib with zigzag, then continue with stocking stitch with wrong side out and stripes with 1 row in each colour. The yoke is divided for body and sleeves. The body is continued back and forth from mid front. The sleeves are worked in the round with short circular needle/double pointed needles, top down.

NECK:
Cast on 131-143-143-155-155-167 stitches (including 5 band stitches on each side towards mid front) with circular needle size 2.5 mm and off-white.
Work as follows from the wrong side: Knit 5 band stitches, purl until there are 5 stitches left and knit these 5 stitches.
Then work pattern as follows: Work 5 band stitches in GARTER STITCH – read description above, work A.1A until there are 6 stitches left on row (= a total of 10-11-11-12-12-13 repeats of 12 stitches), A.2A (= 1 stitch) and finish with 5 band stitches in garter stitch– remember BUTTONHOLE – read description above.
When A.1A and A.2A have been worked 1 time in height, work yoke as described below.

YOKE:
Change to circular needle size 3 mm and work pattern as follows (first row from the right side with off-white): Work 5 stitches in GARTER STITCH BANDS – read description above, A.1B until there are 6 stitches left on row (= a total of 10-11-11-12-12-13 repeats of 12 stitches), A.2B (= 1 stitch) and finish with 5 stitches in garter stitch bands.
Push all stitches back to the other end of the circular needle so the next row can be worked with colour-1 from the right side. Read STRIPES, KNITTING TIP-1 and KNITTING TIP-2 and REMEMBER THE KNITTING TENSION!
When A.1B and A.2B have been worked 1 time in height there are 251-275-319-347-395-427 stitches on the needle. The piece measures approx. 9-9-9-9-11-11 cm from the cast-on edge mid front.
Now work A.1C over A.1B and A.2C over A.2B.
When A.1C and A.2C have been worked 1 time in height there are 331-363-407-443-467-505 stitches on the needle. The piece measures approx. 17-17-19-19-21-21 cm from the cast-on edge mid front.
Continue with knit from wrong side and purl from right side, 5 stitches in garter stitch bands on each side and with stripes as before.
When the piece measures 19-19-21-21-21-21 cm from the cast-on edge increase stitches evenly spaced as follows: Increase 4-4-4-4-8-8 stitches every 2 cm a total of 1-2-1-1-2-2 times = 335-371-411-447-483-521 stitches – read INCREASE TIP-1.
When the piece measures 21-23-24-26-28-30 cm from the cast-on edge (measured along the band) divide the piece for body and sleeves as follows:
Work 5 stitches in garter stitch bands and work the next 49-53-58-66-72-78 stitches as before (= front piece), place the next 64-74-84-88-92-98 stitches on 1 thread for sleeve, cast on 8 new stitches on the needle (= in side under sleeve), work the next 99-107-117-129-145-159 stitches as before (= back piece), place the next 64-74-84-88-92-98 stitches on 1 thread for sleeve, cast on 8 new stitches on the needle (= in side under sleeve) and work the next 49-53-58-66-72-78 stitches as before, finishing with 5 stitches in garter stitch bands. Body and sleeves are finished separately. THE PIECE IS NOW MEASURED FROM HERE!

BODY:
= 223-239-259-287-315-341 stitches. Insert 1 marker thread on each side of the body, in the middle of the 8 stitches cast on under each sleeve. Allow the marker threads to follow your work onwards; they are used when increasing in the sides.
Continue back and forth with stripes as before with knit from the wrong side, purl from the right side and 5 stitches in garter stitch bands on each side towards mid front.
When the piece measures 2 cm from the division increase 1 stitch on each side of both marker threads – read INCREASE TIP-2 (= 4 stitches increased). Increase like this every 2½-2½-2½-3-3-2½ cm a total of 10-10-10-9-9-11 times = 263-279-299-323-351-385 stitches.
Continue working until the piece measures 28-28-29-29-29-29 cm from the division (or to desired length; there is 2 cm left to finished length).
Purl 1 row from the wrong side (bands worked as before), where you increase 18-20-18-18-17-19 stitches evenly spaced (not on bands) = 281-299-317-341-368-404 stitches. Change to circular needle size 2.5 mm and work rib as follows with off-white (first row from right side): 5 stitches in garter stitch *knit 1, purl 2*, work from *-* until there are 6 stitches left, knit 1 and finish with 5 band stitches in garter stitch. Work this rib for 2 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 64-74-84-88-92-98 stitches from the thread on the 1 side of the piece on short circular needle/double pointed needles size 3 mm and knit up 1 stitch in each of the 8 stitches cast on under the sleeve = 72-82-92-96-100-106 stitches.
Insert 1 marker thread in the middle of the 8 stitches cast on under the sleeve. Allow the marker threads to follow your work onwards; they will be used when decreasing under the sleeve.
Start the round by the marker thread and purl in the round with stripes with alternately 1 round off white and 1 round lavender. When the piece measures 2 cm from the division decrease 2 stitches mid under sleeve – read DECREASE TIP. Decrease like this every 4-2½-2-1½-1½-1½ cm a total of 9-13-17-18-19-21 times = 54-56-58-60-62-64 stitches.
Continue working until the piece measures 41-40-39-38-36-34 cm from the division (or to desired length; there is 2 cm left to finished length. NOTE: Shorter measurements in larger sizes due to wider neck and longer yoke).
Knit 1 round where you increase 0-1-2-0-1-2 stitches evenly spaced = 54-57-60-60-63-66 stitches. Change to double pointed needles size 2.5 mm and work rib in the round with off-white (= knit 1/ purl 2) for 2 cm. Loosely cast off with knit over knit and purl over purl. The sleeve measures approx. 44-43-42-41-39-37 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.

Endlich, nach fast einem Jahr mit einigen Unterbrechungen, habe ich die Jacke fertig gestrickt. Allerdings war mir der Ausschnitt zu weit und zu dehnbar geworden. Um dies auszugleichen, habe ich den Rand mit zwei Runden feste Maschen umhäkelt. Nun gefällt sie mir gut, auch wenn ein paar Fehler vorhanden sind.

Hallo, ich bin gerade beim stricken der Ärmel angekommen. Ich verstehe hier etwas nicht. In der Anleitung steht: je 1 Masche aus den 8 unter dem Arm angeschlagenen Maschen auffassen . Wann werden die restlichen 6 Maschen dazu genommen? Oder nimmt man gleich am Anfang jeweils 4 Maschen dazu? ( und nicht eine, wie in der Anleitung) Ansonsten ist die Jacke bis jetzt schön geworden.

Liebe Barbara, bei der Verteilung haben Sie 8 Maschen angeschlagen, wo die Maschen der Ärmel stillgelegt waren, bei den Ärmeln fassen Sie jetzt 1 Masche in jeder diese 8 Maschen auf - diese Lektion zeigt ab Bild 18b) wie man die Ärmel auffasst und weiterstrickt. Viel Spaß beim stricken!

Hallo, ich habe gerade bei der Passe A.1B fertig gestrickt und möchte nun mit A.1C beginnen. Mir fällt allerdings auf, dass bisher nur die Farben natur und flieder verstrickt wurden. Auf der Abbildung ist aber doch auch graublau mit dabei. Wann kommt graublau zum Einsatz? Auch in der Strickschrift A.1C wird nur natur und flieder angegeben.\r\nMit vielen Grüßen, Barbara.

Liebe Barbara, schauen Sie mal bei "Hinweise zur Anleitung" unter "Streifen" - dort ist beschrieben, welche Farben Sie wann benutzen - auch graublau wird dort genannt. Viel Spaß beim Stricken!

Nå er jeg en dreven strikker og har strikket A.1B i størrelse L. Når jeg går videre til A.C1 skjer det noe etter 9 omgang. Da passer ikke mønsteret lenger i slutten (eller det blir starten når skal videre i mønsteret. Har rekket opp hele A.1 C hele 7 ganger og kjenner tålmodigheten tar snart slutt. Hva skjer?

Hei! Jeg sliter med å skjønne diagram forklaringene. Jeg driver med M. A.1B den sorte ruten og de skrå (fellingene?). Kan noen forklare det litt bedre, eller eventuelt henvise til hvilken video som passer best? jeg klarer ikke å finne en som matcher... Skal jeg virkelig lese fra høyre på noen omganger og fra venstre på andre? Da bør jo dette stå opplyst ett sted i oppskriften. Har rekket opp flere ganger, og råd ført meg med min mor som har strikket i 40 år...

Hei Anita. Du kan sjekke denne videoen for å se hvordan den sorte ruten strikkes (men bare lag 1 kast), Hvordan øke 4 masker strikket med 2 farger i helpatent i 1 maske og kast Foreløpig har vi ingen video som viser de skrå fellingene (men det kommer). Når man strikker etter diagram, strikker man 1. pinne fra høyre til venstre og 2. pinne fra venstre til høyre, dersom det ikke står annet forklart i oppskriften. I denne oppskriften står det forklart med diagramikoner til høyre på diagrammene (opp ned trekant, stjerne, sirkel og sort stjerne). mvh DROPS design

Dag Marie-Christiane,

Deze staan een beetje 'verstopt' onder de tekening met de maten (onder de mouw)
