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 to A.5. The diagrams show all rows in the pattern seen from the right side.
DECREASE TIP (evenly spaced):
To work out how to decrease evenly, count the total number of stitches on needle (e.g. 108 stitches), minus the 1 edge stitch on each side and divide by number of decreases to be made (e.g. 18) = 5.8.
In this example decrease by knitting approx. each 5th and 6th stitch together.
INCREASE TIP (evenly spaced):
To work out how to increase evenly, count the total number of stitches on needle (e.g. 94 stitches), minus 1 edge stitch on each side and divide by the number of increases to be made (e.g. 5) = 18.4. In this example, increase by making 1 yarn over after alternately each 18th and 19th stitch. On the next row work the yarn overs twisted to avoid holes.
BUTTONHOLES (bottom up):
Work buttonholes on the right band. 1 BUTTONHOLE = Knit together the third and fourth stitch from the edge and then make 1 yarn over. On the next row knit the yarn over = hole.
Work buttonholes as follows:
Buttonhole 1: Worked on 7th row in A.1 the second time the diagram is worked in height.
Buttonhole 2. Worked after you have completed 6-7-8-7-8-7 cm = 2 3/8”-2 3/4”-3 1/8”-2 3/4”-3 1/8”-2 3/4” of pattern A.3.
Buttonhole 3: Worked on the 7th row in A.1 the third time the diagram is worked in height.

Now continue with A.3 but working back and forth on the needle to give a small split under the sleeve (makes it easier to sew the sleeve to the armhole). When the sleeve measures 44-42-40-41-40-38 cm = 17 1/4”-16 1/2”-15 3/4”-16 1/8”-15 3/4”-15” (shorter measurements in larger sizes due to broader shoulders) bind off. Work the other sleeve in the same way.
ASSEMBLY:
Sew the shoulder seams with grafting stitches inside the bind-off edge. Sew the sleeves to the body inside the 1 edge stitch on the body and the bind-off edge on the sleeve. The last part of the sleeve which was worked back and forth is sewn to the body where the 3-3-3-4-4-5 stitches were bind off. Sew the side seams inside the edge stitch on each side. Sew the collar together mid back inside the bind-off edge and then sew the collar to the back of the neck. Sew buttons onto left band.
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 to A.5. The diagrams show all rows in the pattern seen from the right side.
DECREASE TIP (evenly spaced):
To work out how to decrease evenly, count the total number of stitches on needle (e.g. 108 stitches), minus the 1 edge stitch on each side and divide by number of decreases to be made (e.g. 18) = 5.8.
In this example decrease by knitting approx. each 5th and 6th stitch together.
INCREASE TIP (evenly spaced):
To work out how to increase evenly, count the total number of stitches on needle (e.g. 94 stitches), minus 1 edge stitch on each side and divide by the number of increases to be made (e.g. 5) = 18.4. In this example, increase by making 1 yarn over after alternately each 18th and 19th stitch. On the next row work the yarn overs twisted to avoid holes.
BUTTONHOLES (bottom up):
Work buttonholes on the right band. 1 BUTTONHOLE = Knit together the third and fourth stitch from the edge and then make 1 yarn over. On the next row knit the yarn over = hole.
Work buttonholes as follows:
Buttonhole 1: Worked on 7th row in A.1 the second time the diagram is worked in height.
Buttonhole 2. Worked after you have completed 6-7-8-7-8-7 cm = 2 3/8”-2 3/4”-3 1/8”-2 3/4”-3 1/8”-2 3/4” of pattern A.3.
Buttonhole 3: Worked on the 7th row in A.1 the third time the diagram is worked in height.

Cut the strand and continue from the right side (2 rows worked from the right side after each other) as follows: 6 band stitches in garter stitch (i.e. purl 6 on this row), A.1 until there is 1 stitch left and 1 edge stitch in garter stitch (purled on this row). On the last row in A.1 adjust the number of stitches to 47-56-56-57-66-67 stitches (do not decrease/increase on the band). Now work pattern in the different sizes as follows:
Sizes S, XXL, XXXL:
6 band stitches in garter stitch, A.4 (= 18 stitches) a total of 2-3-3 in width, knit 4-5-6, 1 edge stitch in garter stitch.
Sizes M, L and XL:
6 band stitches in garter stitch, A.4 (= 18 stitches) a total of 2-2-2 times in width, A.5 (= 10 stitches), knit 3-3-4, 1 edge stitch in garter stitch.

When the piece measures 45-46-47-48-49-50 cm = 17 3/4”-18”-18 1/2”-19”-19 1/4”-19 3/4”, bind off 3-3-3-4-4-5 stitches at the beginning of the next row from the side for the armhole = 44-53-53-53-62-62 stitches. Continue with pattern as before. When the piece measures 62-64-66-68-70-72 cm = 24 3/8"-25 1/4"-26"-26 3/4"-27 1/2"-28 3/8”, work the next row from the right side as follows: Knit the first 13-14-14-14-15-15 stitches (= shawl-collar), knit the next 31-39-39-39-47-47 stitches and decrease at the same time 0-4-0-0-4-0 stitches evenly spaced = 31-35-39-39-43-47 stitches on shoulder. Turn and knit just the shoulder stitches (keep the collar stitches on the needle), turn and bind off. Cut the strand. The piece measures approx. 64-66-68-70-72-74 cm = 25 1/4"-26"-26 3/4"-27 1/2"-28 3/8”-29 1/8” from the shoulder down. Now work the 13-14-14-14-15-15 collar stitches starting from the wrong side as follows:
ROWS 1-5: Knit all stitches.
ROW 6: Knit the first 6-7-7-7-7-7 stitches, turn, tighten strand.

LEFT FRONT PIECE:
Cast on 59-63-67-75-79-83 stitches with circular needle size 4.5 mm = US 7 and Air. Purl 1 row from the wrong side. Then work rib as follows from the right side: 1 edge stitch in garter stitch, (knit 2/ purl 2) until there are 6 stitches left, 6 band stitches in garter stitch. When the rib measures 5 cm = 2”, knit 1 row from the right side where you decrease 8-8-8-12-12-12 stitches evenly spaced = 51-55-59-63-67-71 stitches. Change to circular needle size 5.5 mm = US 9 and purl 1 row back from the wrong side (edge and band stitches worked in garter stitch). Now work pattern as follows: 1 edge stitch in garter stitch, A.1 until there are 6 stitches left and 6 band stitches in garter stitch. When A.1 has been completed in height work A.2 over A.1. Work A.2 in height a total of 2 times. The piece measures 17 cm = 6 3/4”. Now work A.1 over A.2. When A.1 has been completed in height work A.3 over A.1. Continue until the piece measures 32-34-36-34-36-34 cm = 12 1/2”-13 3/8”-14 1/4”-13 3/8”-14 1/4”-13 3/8 – adjust so you finish after a row from the right side (i.e. rows 1,3,5 or 7 in the diagram).

When the piece measures 45-46-47-48-49-50 cm = 17 3/4”-18”-18 1/2”-19”-19 1/4”-19 3/4”, bind off 3-3-3-4-4-5 stitches at the beginning of the next row from the side for the armhole = 44-53-53-53-62-62 stitches. Continue with pattern as before. When the piece measures 62-64-66-68-70-72 cm = 24 3/8"-25 1/4"-26"-26 3/4"-27 1/2"-28 3/8”, work the next row from the right side as follows: Knit the first 31-39-39-39-47-47 stitches and decrease at the same time 0-4-0-0-4-0 stitches evenly spaced knit the last 13-14-14-14-15-15 stitches (= shawl-collar).

SLEEVE:
The sleeve is worked in the round with short circular needle. Cast on 76-76-88-88-96-96 stitches with short circular needle size 4.5 mm = US 7 and Air. Knit 1 round then work rib (= knit 2/ purl 2) for 5 cm = 2”. Knit 1 round where you decrease 12-12-16-16-16-16 stitches evenly spaced = 64-64-72-72-80-80 stitches. Change to circular needle size 5.5 mm = US 9 and work pattern as follows: Knit 1 round then work pattern A.1. When A.1 has been completed in height work A.2 a total of 2 times in height. The piece measures approx. 17 cm = 6 3/4”. Now work A.1, AT THE SAME TIME on the first round decrease 4-0-4-2-6-4 stitches evenly spaced = 60-64-68-70-74-76 stitches. When A.1 has been completed, work A.3. Continue working until the piece measures 42-40-38-38-37-35 cm = 16 1/2”-15 3/4”-15”-15”-14 1/2”-13 3/4”. Now continue with A.3 but working back and forth on the needle to give a small split under the sleeve (makes it easier to sew the sleeve to the armhole). When the sleeve measures 44-42-40-41-40-38 cm = 17 1/4”-16 1/2”-15 3/4”-16 1/8”-15 3/4”-15” (shorter measurements in larger sizes due to broader shoulders) bind off. Work the other sleeve in the same way.
ASSEMBLY:
Sew the shoulder seams with grafting stitches inside the bind-off edge. Sew the sleeves to the body inside the 1 edge stitch on the body and the bind-off edge on the sleeve. The last part of the sleeve which was worked back and forth is sewn to the body where the 3-3-3-4-4-5 stitches were bind off. Sew the side seams inside the edge stitch on each side. Sew the collar together mid back inside the bind-off edge and then sew the collar to the back of the neck. Sew buttons onto left band.

Hej Jeg kan ikke se nogen indtagning til v udskæringen. Kommer den af sig selv på grund af mønsteret, eller har jeg bare ikke set ordenligt efter. Venlig hilsen Merete

31.10.2023 - 08:46I'm having trouble understanding the front band, from the pattern is knitted 6 stitch for the band. But from the model picture, the band seem to be picked up and knit afterward.
23.11.2022 - 10:01DROPS Design answered:
Dear Mrs Tok, the front band stitches are 6 stitches worked in garter stitch at the bottom + at the end of the row (on body) - the last picture migh help you seeing how they look at. Happy knitting!

Après les côtes 2/2 il faut faire 1 fois A1 et 2 fois A2 .mais si je comprend bien sur le schéma de A1 seul les rang endroit sont visibles ,donc 12 rangs sur le schéma ce qui ramène avec les rangs envers a 24 rangs. 10cm étant égal à 20 rangs d'après l'échantillon je ne comprend pas comment l'ouvrage peut mesurer 17cm après A2 . Pouvez vous m'aider svp .merci
10.09.2022 - 18:08DROPS Design answered:
Bonjour Mme Bediat, tous les rangs figurent dans les diagrammes, aussi bien ceux sur l'endroit que ceux sur l'envers, ainsi A.1 va se tricoter sur 12 rangs ainsi: 1 rang end sur l'end, 1 rang env sur l'env, 1 rang end sur l'end, 1 rang end sur l'env, 1 rang end sur l'end, 1 rang env sur l'env, 1 rang env sur l'end, 1 rang env sur l'env, 1 rang end sur l'end, 1 rang end sur l'env, 1 rang end sur l'end et 1 rang env sur l'end. Bon tricot!
12.09.2022 - 09:41Hi, I'm working on the back, the A4 part of the pattern and the lines look very joined together. Not like the picture at all. The horizontal line joins with the vertical line. I've checked the pattern and I'm not doing anything wrong
13.04.2022 - 01:06DROPS Design answered:
Dear Raabia, the resulting pattern may depend on your gauge. The rib also is sometimes tight when worked; you can block that part with steam, so that the stitches open up more and start forming a texture. Happy knitting!
14.04.2022 - 19:00Hei. 😊Er det feil i forklaringen til mønster A4 på ryggen i str M ,får ikke mønsteret til å gå opp på 1 runde på A4 når jeg gjør som forklart? 3 rett masker pluss 1 rille maske før mønsteret ,(str M) og avslutte med 4 rett masker pluss en rille....? \r\nMvh Mona 😊

Hej Mona. Jo det ska gå opp; 1+3+(18*5)+4+1= 99 m. Mvh DROPS Design
21.01.2022 - 12:00Hola, en la espalda después de la siza se termina solo tejiendo el patrón de A5 o se turna con A4.
12.11.2021 - 22:45DROPS Design answered:
Hola Paula, depende de la talla. En las tallas M y XL trabajas solo A.4, en el resto A.4 y A.5.
14.11.2021 - 19:39Comment peut ton augmenter à 57 mailles quand on en a déjà 63 maille la je comprend pas comment vous faite sa Merci j espère que je suis assez claire
31.05.2021 - 02:00DROPS Design answered:
Si vous aviez 63 mailles (= XL) au début du devant droit, vous devrez diminuer 6 mailles à intervalles réguliers dans les mailles de A.1 (cette leçon explique comment faire) autrement dit 63-6= 57 mailles. Bon tricot!
31.05.2021 - 08:09Voici la fin pouvez vous m aide à comprendre ses 3 mail que je vous est envoyez Modèle n ai 228 A.1 jusqu'à ce qu'il reste 1 maille et 1 maille lisière au point mousse (la tricoter à l'envers sur ce rang). Au dernier rang de A.1, ajuster le nombre de mailles à 47-56-56-57-66-67 mailles (ne pas diminuer/augmenter au-dessus de la bordure devant). Tricoter maintenant en fonction de la taille ainsi:
31.05.2021 - 01:22DROPS Design answered:
Les réponses précédentes ont-elles pu vous aider?
31.05.2021 - 08:07Suite dés explication que je ne comprend pas Couper le fil et continuer sur l'endroit (2 rangs sur l'endroit l'un après l'autre) ainsi: 6 mailles de bordure devant au point mousse (c'est-à-dire tricoter ces 6 mailles à l'envers sur ce rang),
31.05.2021 - 01:18DROPS Design answered:
... Coupez votre fil à la fin de ce rang 1,3,5 ou 7 de A.3, et tricotez le rang suivant de nouveau sur l'endroit = vous tricotez ainsi 2 rangs sur l'endroit l'un après l'autre. Pour que le point mousse continue correctement, tricotez les 6 mailles à l'envers au 2ème rang sur l'endroit et tricotez ainsi: 6 m env (=bordure devant), tricotez A.1 et terminez par 1 m lis au point mousse (= à tricoter à l'envers). ..
31.05.2021 - 08:06Je vous pause une question en plusieurs fois car tout ne rentre pas Je ne comprend pas A.1. Continuer jusqu'à ce que l'ouvrage mesure 32-34-36-34-36-34 cm – ajuster pour arrêter après un rang sur l'endroit (c'est-à-dire après un rang 1,3,5 ou 7 du diagramme).
31.05.2021 - 01:15DROPS Design answered:
Bonjour Mme Montserrat Fellay, vous tricotez d'abord A.1, puis 2 x A.2 en hauteur, A.1 et A.3; quand votre ouvrage mesure 32 à 34 cm (cf taille), mais ajustez cette longueur de sorte que vous ayez tricoté un rang 1, 3, 5 ou 7 du diagramme A.3, autrement dit après un rang sur l'endroit...
