EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN:
-------------------------------------------------------
STRIPES:
Stripes are worked on the whole garment as follows:
Work (10½)-11-12-13-14-15 cm with rose, (8½)-9-10-11-12-13 cm yellow and (8½)- 9-10-11-12-13 cm sea green. Then complete the garment with light pink.
RIDGE/GARTER STITCH (worked back and forth):
1 ridge in height = Knit 2 rows.
BUTTONHOLES:
Work buttonholes on the right band (when garment is worn). Work from the right side when there are 3 stitches left on the row as follows: Make 1 yarn over, knit 2 together and knit the last stitch. On the next row knit the yarn over to leave a hole. The first buttonhole is worked when the piece measures approx. 1 cm. Then work the next (5)-5-5-6-6-6 buttonholes with approx. (5)-5½-6-6½-7 cm between each one.
INCREASE TIP (evenly spaced):
To work out how to increase evenly, count the total number of stitches on the needle (e.g. 47 stitches) and divide by the number of increases to be made (e.g. 40) = 1.1.
In this example, increase by making 1 yarn over after each stitch. Do not increase on bands. On the next row knit the yarn overs twisted to avoid holes.
RAGLAN:
Increase to raglan in each transition between body and sleeves. All increases are worked from the right side! Start 1 stitch before the marker, make 1 yarn over, knit 2 (the marker sits between these 2 stitches) and make 1 yarn over. On the next row purl the yarn overs twisted to avoid holes.

-------------------------------------------------------
JACKET – SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE:
The yoke is worked back and forth with circular needle, top down. The yoke is divided for body and sleeves and the body continued back and forth with circular needle. The sleeves are worked in the round with double pointed needles.
YOKE:
Cast on (47)-53-55-57-61-61 stitches with circular needle size 4 mm and Air - the whole piece is worked in STRIPES – read description above. Work 3 ridges; the first buttonhole is worked after approx. 1 cm - see description above.
Change to circular needle size 5 mm and insert 1 marker; THE PIECE IS NOW MEASURED FROM HERE. On the next row increase (40)-42-42-44-48-50 stitches evenly spaced – READ INCREASE TIP in explanations above = (87)-95-97-101-109-111 stitches. Work garter stitch until the piece measures (3)-3-3-3-3-3 cm. REMEMBER THE KNITTING TENSION! On the next row increase (36)-38-38-40-46-48 stitches evenly spaced = (123)-133-135-141-155-159 stitches. Work garter stitch until the piece measures (7)-7-7-7-7-7 cm. On the next row increase 30-32-38-40-42-42 stitches evenly spaced = (153)-165-173-181-197-201 stitches. Work garter stitch until the piece measures (11)-11-12-12-13-13 cm.
Now insert 4 markers in the piece without working the stitches as follows: Insert 1 marker after (25)-26-27-28-30-31 stitches (= front piece), the next marker after (31)-35-37-39-43-43 stitches (= sleeve), the next marker after (41)-43-45-47-51-53 stitches (= back piece) and the last marker after (31)-35-37-39-43-43 stitches (= sleeve). There are 25-26-27-28-30-31 stitches left after the last marker (= front piece).
Continue with stocking stitch (the outermost 5 stitches in each side are continued in garter stitch to finished length) and on the first row from the right side increase stitches to RAGLAN – read description above (8 stitches increased on row). Increase on each row from the right side a total of (2)-3-3-4-4-5 times = (169)-189-197-213-229-241 stitches on needle. Continue working until the piece measures (13)-14-15-16-17-18 cm from the marker. The yoke is now divided for body and sleeves as follows: Work (27)-29-30-32-34-36 stitches (= left front piece), place the next (35)-41-43-47-51-53 stitches on a thread for sleeve, cast on 6 new stitches on the needle (= side under sleeve), work (45)-49-51-55-59-63 stitches (= back piece), place the next (35)-41-43-47-51-53 stitches on a thread for sleeve, cast on 6 new stitches on the needle (= side under sleeve) and work the remaining (27)-29-30-32-34-36 stitches (= right front piece). Body and sleeves are finished separately. THE PIECE IS NOW MEASURED FROM HERE!
BODY:
= (111)-119-123-131-139-147 stitches.

Change to circular needle size 4 mm. Work the bands in garter stitch and the rest of the stitches in rib (knit 1/ purl 1) for 2 cm. Loosely cast off with knit over knit and purl over purl. The jacket measures approx. (30)-33-36-40-44-48 cm from the shoulder down.
SLEEVE:
Place the (35)-41-43-47-51-53 stitches from the thread on the one side of the piece on double pointed needles size 5 mm and knit up 1 stitch in each of the 6 stitches cast on under the sleeve = (41)-47-49-53-57-59 stitches. Insert a marker thread in the middle of the 6 stitches under the sleeve; beginning of round. Work in the round with stocking stitch and stripes until the piece measures (12)-16-21-24-27-31 cm (or to desired length; there is approx. (4)-4-4-4-5-5 cm left to finished length). On the next round decrease (13)-17-17-21-23-25 stitches evenly spaced = (28)-30-32-32-34-34 stitches. Change to double pointed needles size 4 mm and work rib (knit 1/ purl 1) in the round for approx. (4)-4-4-4-5-5 cm. Loosely cast off with knit over knit and purl over purl.
Work the other sleeve in the same way.

Est-ce que je peux convertir ce gilet pour une fille de 6 ans ? Combien de mailles et combien de laine ?
19.12.2022 - 17:22Est-ce que je peux convertir ce gilet à une petite fille de 6 ans ? Si oui combien de laine et de mailles
19.12.2022 - 04:39DROPS Design answered:
Bonjour Denise, vous trouverez les explications de ce gilet en taille 5/6 ans (4ème taille) - vérifiez la taille si besoin en mesurant un vêtement analogue qui va à l'enfant et comparez ces mesures à celles du schéma. Retrouvez plus d'infos sur les tailles ici. Bon tricot!
19.12.2022 kl. 09:53Vielen Dank für Ihre schnelle Antwort. Aber die Blende ist bei diesem Modell ja durch jeweils 6 Maschen schon in jeder Runde mit dran gestrickt. Ich suche das Vidio, wie man am Schluss die Kante der Blenden durch eine oder zwei Reihen dranstricken noch verschönert. Also eine Kante an die Blende strickt. Vielleicht könnten Sie mir dies suchen und posten hier? Das wäre wirklich sehr nett.
28.11.2022 - 14:39Liebes Team, Sie sollen ja nicht die Anleitung anpassen. Ich suche nur Ihr Vidio, wie man eine Blende im Nachgang noch verschönert in dem man noch einen Rand daran strickt. Das Vidio hatte ich am Anfang der Arbeit unter der Anleitung gesehen. In einer etwas komplizierter Art und Weise wurden dort Maschen am Rand aufgenommen und gleich auch abgekettet. Es wäre sehr nett, wenn Sie doch mal nach diesem Vidio schauen könnten.

Liebe Frau Griesel, unsere Video könnnen dann Ihnen vielleicht damit helfen: doppelte Blende ohne Knopflöcher und doppelte Blende mit Knopflöchern - an diesen Seiten finden Sie auch Beispiele, um Ihnen helfen zu können. Viel Spaß beium stricken!
28.11.2022 kl. 11:31Da ich es nicht als Frage, sondern Kommentar geschrieben habe hier noch einmal: Noch mal zu meiner Frage. In dem Vidio wurde gezeigt, wie man an den offenen Seiten ( Blende für Knopflöcher und Knöpfen) noch eine Reihe dranstricjt. Mein Aufnehmen der Maschen diese gleich auch abkettet. Dadurch entstand ein sehr schöner Rand. Ich würde daa gern noch machen und hoffe, Sie wissen, waa ich meine und können mir helfen. Herzlich Elke

Liebe Frau Griesel, leider können wir nicht jede Anleitung nach jeder Anfrage anpassen - am besten wenden Sie sich an Ihrem DROPS Händler, dort wird man Ihnen am besten weiterhelfen - auch per Telephon oder per E-Mail. Danke im voraus für Ihr Verständnis. Viel Spaß beim stricken!
28.11.2022 kl. 09:21Ich habe die Jacke jetzt fertig. Als ich damit begonnen habe, gab es auf der Seite hier ein Vidio, wie man die länglichen Seiten ( also Knopflochpasse und die anderen, auf die Knöpfe genäht werden) noch einfasst. Leider finde ich das Vidio hier jetzt nicht mehr. Könntet ihr mir einen Link schicken dafür? Vielen Dank bereits jetzt.

Dear Mrs Alexander, you will find all instructions about buttonholes at the beginning of the written pattern - see BUTTONHOLES:. Happy knitting!
11.11.2022 kl. 08:41Bonjour Dites moi si je me trompe mais pour la taille 3/4 ans, après la séparation, pour les dos&devants, il me reste 111 mailles et non pas 123 : 197 - 2x43 en attente pour les manches = 111 mailles. Me suis je trompé quelque part ? Cordialement Lucette
14.10.2022 - 18:27DROPS Design answered:
Bonjour Lucette, il vous manque les mailles à monter sous les manches, ainsi vous aurez bien 123 mailles soit: 197-43-43 (manches) + 6-6 (nouvelles mailles sous les manches) = 123 mailles. Bon tricot!
17.10.2022 kl. 11:05In Ihrer Anleitung steht nach der dritten Zunahmestelle bei der Passe, vor dem Satz "4 Markierer anbringen ..." " Streifen nicht vergessen". Welche Streifen meonnn Sie denn damit? Der nächste (das wäre dann der zweite) Farbstreifen kommt doch erst später. Für eine schnelle Hilfe wäre ich Ihnen sehr dankbar. Mit freundlichen Grüßen Elke

Liebe Frau Griesel, je nach der Größe beginnen die Streifen vor oder nach den Markierungen, deshalb muss man sich daran errinern - siehe STREIFEN. Viel Spaß beim stricken!
