EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN:
-------------------------------------------------------
RIDGE/GARTER STITCH (worked in the round):
1 ridge = 2 rounds. Knit 1 round and purl 1 round.
RIDGE/GARTER STITCH (worked back and forth):
1 ridge = Knit 2 rows.
INCREASE TIP-1 (for yoke):
To work out how to increase evenly, count the total number of stitches on needle (e.g. 88 stitches) and divide by the number of increases to be made (e.g. 12) = 7.3.
In this example, increase by making 1 yarn over after approx. each 7th stitch. On the next round knit the yarn overs twisted to avoid holes.
PATTERN (for raglan):
See diagram A.1.
STRIPES:
The whole body is worked in stockinette stitch and with 6 stripes; each stripe is worked to a height of 13-13.5-14-14.5-15-15.5 cm = 5 1/8”-5 1/4”-5 1/2”-5 3/4”-6”-6 1/8” in the following colors: First ice blue, then off white, mustard, old pink, light blue and off white.
RAGLAN:
Increase to raglan on each side of the 4 marker threads as follows: Start 1 stitch before the marker thread, 1 yarn over, knit 2 (marker thread sits in middle of these 2 stitches), 1 yarn over (= 8 stitches increased on round). On the next round knit the yarn overs to leave holes.
DECREASE TIP (for sides of dress):
Start 5 stitches before marker thread, knit 2 together, knit 6 (marker thread sits in middle of these 6 stitches), slip 1 stitch as if to knit, knit 1 and pass slipped stitch over the knitted stitch (= 2 stitches decreased).
INCREASE TIP-2 (for sides of dress):
Start 3 stitches before marker thread, 1 yarn over, knit 6 (marker thread sits in middle of these 6 stitches) 1 yarn over (= 2 stitches increased). On the next round work yarn overs twisted to avoid holes.
-------------------------------------------------------
START THE PIECE HERE:
-------------------------------------------------------
DRESS:
The piece is worked in the round with circular needle, top down to where the split begins. Then front and back pieces are finished separately, back and forth. The sleeve-edges are worked in the round with double pointed needles.
NECK:
Cast on 88-88-96-96-102-102 stitches with short circular needle size 4 mm = US 6 and ice blue. Work 2 RIDGES in the round – see description above. Change to circular needle size 5 mm = US 8. Knit 1 round where you increase 12-12-12-12-14-14 stitches evenly spaced – read INCREASE TIP-1 = 100-100-108-108-116-116 stitches. Insert 4 marker threads for raglan in the piece as follows, without working the stitches: First marker thread is inserted after the first 15-15-17-17-19-19 stitches (= ½ back piece), 2nd marker thread after the next 20 stitches (= sleeve), 3rd after the next 30-30-34-34-38-38 stitches (= front piece) and 4th marker thread is inserted after the next 20 stitches (= sleeve). There are 15-15-17-17-19-19 stitches left on round after the last marker thread. Then work yoke as described below.
YOKE:
Work the colors as described in STRIPES – see description above. AT THE SAME TIME on the first round increase to RAGLAN – see description above, on each side of the 4 marker threads (= 8 stitches increased). Increase like this every 2nd round a total of 14-17-18-22-23-26 times. REMEMBER THE KNITTING GAUGE! After the last increase there are 212-236-252-284-300-324 stitches on needle.
Continue with stripes without further increases to raglan, but to avoid the rows of holes along the raglan lines being broken, work A.1 in each transition between body and sleeves (arrow in A.1 marks the marker thread in raglan line). When the piece measures 16-18-20-22-24-26 cm = 6 1/4”-7”-8”-8 3/4”-9 1/2”-10 1/4” from the cast-on edge mid front, divide the piece for body and sleeves as follows: Work the first 31-34-37-41-45-49 stitches (= ½ back piece), place the next 44-50-52-60-60-64 stitches on 1 thread for sleeve, cast on 6-6-8-8-10-12 stitches on needle (= in side under sleeve), work the next 62-68-74-82-90-98 stitches (= front piece), place the next 44-50-52-60-60-64 stitches on 1 thread for sleeve, cast on 6-6-8-8-10-12 stitches on needle (= in side under sleeve) and work the remaining 31-34-37-41-45-49 stitches (= ½ back piece). Cut the strand.
Body and sleeves are finished separately. THE PIECE IS NOW MEASURED FROM HERE!
BODY:
= 136-148-164-180-200-220 stitches. Insert 1 marker thread in the middle of the 6-6-8-8-10-12 stitches cast on in each side = 68-74-82-90-100-110 stitches between the 2 marker threads. Start the round at the marker thread on the right side (when garment is worn).
AT THE SAME TIME when the piece measures 2 cm = 3/4” from the division, decrease 2 stitches in each side – read DECREASE TIP (= 4 stitches decreased). Decrease like this every 2 cm = 3/4” a total of 3 times in each side = 124-136-152-168-188-208 stitches. When the piece measures 16 cm = 6 1/4” from the division increase 2 stitches in each side – read INCREASE TIP-2 (= 4 stitches increased). Increase like this every 1½ cm = 1/2” a total of 28 times in each side.
AT THE SAME TIME when the piece measures 43-44-43-44-43-43 cm = 17”-17 1/4”-17”-17 1/4”-17”-17” divide for split in sides at both marker threads and front and back pieces are finished separately. Leave the stitches for the back piece on needle or place on 1 thread.
Continue with stockinette stitch back and forth, but the 3 outermost stitches on each side are worked in GARTER STITCH – see description above - but NOTE: After the split on each side you continue to increase in each side, but you now increase inside the 3 edge stitches in garter stitch on each side. After the last increase there are 118-124-132-140-150-160 stitches on needle.
After the last stripe, the piece measures 78-81-84-87-90-93 cm = 30 3/4”-32”-33”-34 1/4”-35 1/2”-36 5/8” mid front (the full length of the dress will be 6 cm = 2 3/8” longer at the shoulder) – if you want a longer dress then add the length here. Then change to needle size 4 mm = US 6 and work 3 ridges back and forth over all stitches. Bind off with knit from the right side.
Work back piece in the same way.
SLEEVE EDGE:
Place the 44-50-52-60-60-64 stitches from the thread on the one side of the piece on double pointed needle size 4 mm = US 6 and knit up 1 stitch in each of the 6-6-8-8-10-12 stitches cast on under the sleeve = 50-56-60-68-70-76 stitches. Work 2 ridges using the same color as the thread-stitches, and then bind off with knit. Work the other sleeve-edge in the same way.

20.04.2023 kl. 17:07Hej Jeg forstår ikke hvad jeg skal gøre med A1. Kan godt se diagrammet. Skal jeg strikke alm ret 6 masker ? Håber I kan hjælpe
21.05.2022 - 21:26DROPS Design answered:
Hei Eva. Når du øker til raglan lages det et kast før og etter merketrådene (= 8 kast/økninger på omgnagen). På neste omgang strikkes kastene rett slik at det blir hull (hullmønstret i raglanlinjen du ser på bildet). Når du er ferdig med alle økningene til raglan er det fremdeles noen cm til arbeidet skal deles (hvor mange cm kommer an på hvilken str. du strikker), derfor må man nå strikke etter diagram A.1, slik at hullmønstret fortsettes. A.1 strikkes i hver overgang mellom bol og ermekanter (pilen i A.1 markerer merketråden i raglanlinjen). mvh DROPS Design
23.05.2022 kl. 09:22Hei lurer på økningen i sidene. Det står i oppskriften at det skal økende hver 11/2 cm totalt 28 g pr side. Betyr det 14 ganger før og etter merket i hver side? Når arbeidet måler 44 cm skal det lages split, måles dette der ermene dannes eller fra halskanten? Synes 44 cm virker litt kort om en måler hele strikketøyet.
25.04.2022 - 17:20Hallo, liebes Drops-Team, leider hänge ich gerade mit dem Weitermachen an der Stelle, wo die Raglanärmel-Zunahmen fertig sind und das Kleid im Rumpf fertig gestellt werden soll. Was bedeutet "A.1 an jedem Übergang"? Ich kann mir das ohne Bild so schwer vorstellen. Lieben Dank für eure Hilfe!
21.02.2022 - 12:17DROPS Design answered:
Liebe Frau Ottendorfer, stricken Sie bis 3 Maschen bleiben vor der Markierung, stricken Sie A.1 (= 3 Maschen vor der Markierung + 3 Maschen nach der Markierung), so bei jeder Markierung stricken. Viel Spaß beim stricken!
21.02.2022 kl. 13:26Kann die Anleitung umgerechnet werden in Baby Alpaca Silk? Ich bevorzuge dünnere Garne.

22.05.2021 kl. 19:53Bonjour, je n'arrive pas à tricoter cette robe en rond, est-il possible d'avoir les explications à tricoter en aiguilles droites, je sais tricoter avec des aiguilles circulaires, mais pas en rond fermé. Ayant déjà acheté toute la laine pour le modèle, je serai déçue de ne pas pouvoir la tricoter, de plus, je comptais la porter pour mon anniversaire, le 22 juin, pour mes 50 ans. Merci beaucoup d'avance. Mme Laurent Isabelle

Hej Mari Du hittar A1 på höger sida om måttskissen längst ner. Lycka till!
14.04.2020 kl. 10:30Is it possible to have this pattern converted to a crochet pattern? I love the way this looks, but, i can only crochet. Thank you.
31.10.2019 - 20:26DROPS Design answered:
Dear Marisol, unfortunately we cannot convert this pattern for you, as we cannot modify every pattern for each individual request. However, you can find a number of patterns for crocheted dresses on our site, which you can use as a base. Happy Crafting!
31.10.2019 kl. 23:19The material list says size 4 and size 5 circular needles: BOTH in 40 and 60 or 80 mm length. However nowhere in the pattern does it say when to use the different length needles. Can you advise please?
04.08.2019 - 11:00DROPS Design answered:
Hi Diana! At the beggining of your work (neck) use shorter needles (40 cm), at the end you will need longest ones (60 or 80 cm), because the number of stitches is higher. The choice of the lenght of your needles is personal, I usually start with needles 40 cm, later on I like knitting on needles 80 cm. Happy knitting!
