EXPLANATION FOR THE PATTERN:
----------------------------------------------------------
INFORMATION FOR PATTERN:
GARTER STITCH (back and forth):
1 ridge = knit 2 rows.
RIDGE/GARTER STITCH (worked in the round):
1 ridge = 2 rounds. Knit 1 round and purl 1 round.
PATTERN:
See diagram A.1. Diagrams show all rows in pattern seen from the right side.
INCREASE TIP (evenly on jacket):
To calculate how to increase evenly, use the total number of stitches on row (e.g. 68 stitches), minus bands (e.g. 10 stitches) and divide the remaining stitches by number of increases to be done (e.g. 11) = 5.2.
In this example increase after alternately approx. every 5th stitch by making 1 yarn over. On next row work yarn overs twisted to avoid holes
Do not increase over bands.
RAGLAN (applies to size 12/18 months - 2 years):
Increase for raglan on each side of the 4 marker threads in every transition between body and sleeves (= 8 stitches increased on every increase row). All increases are done from the right side!
Work until 1 stitch remains before marker thread, make 1 yarn over, knit 2 (marker thread is in the middle of these 2 stitches), make 1 yarn over (= 2 stitches increased). On next row (wrong side) purl yarn overs twisted to avoid holes.
DECREASE TIP (applies to mid under sleeve on jacket and on inside of legs on shorts):
Begin 3 stitches before marker and knit 2 together, knit 2 (marker is between these 2 stitches), slip 1 stitch knitwise, knit 1, pass slipped stitch over stitch worked (= 2 stitches decreased).
BUTTONHOLES:
Decrease for buttonholes on right band (when garment is worn). 1 buttonhole = work from right side until 3 stitches remain on needle, make 1 yarn over, knit 2 together and finish by knitting 1. On next row (wrong side) knit the yarn over to make a hole. Decrease for first buttonhole on first row from right side after neck edge. Then decrease the next 4 buttonholes approx. 5 cm apart.
INCREASE TIP (applies mid front and mid back on shorts):
Work until 1 stitch remains before marker thread, make 1 yarn over, knit 2 (marker thread is in the middle of these 2 stitches), make 1 yarn over (= 2 stitches increased).
On next round knit yarn overs twisted to avoid holes.

Cast on (96) 106-116-132-144 (152) stitches on circular needle size 2.5 mm with Baby Merino or Alpaca.
Knit 1 round. Then work rib in the round = knit 1/ purl 1. When rib measures 2½ cm, work a round with eyelet holes for tie as follows: * Knit 1, purl 1, make 1 yarn over, purl 2 together *, work from *-* the entire round (= (24) 26-29-33-36 (38) holes on round). Then continue rib = knit 1/purl 1 until piece measures 4 cm from cast-on edge. Switch to circular needle size 3 mm, knit 1 round while decreasing (10) 10-10-12-14 (18) stitches evenly - read DECREASE TIP-1 = (86) 96-106-120-130 (134) stitches. Now work an elevation at the back of shorts as explained below.
ELEVATION AT THE BACK:
To get a better fit work the shorts higher at the back than at the front. This is done by working short rows back and forth as follows: Insert 1 marker at beginning of round = mid back. Work from right side and knit 8 past marker, turn, tighten yarn and purl 16 stitches back. Turn, tighten yarn and knit 24, turn, tighten yarn and purl 32. Turn, tighten yarn and knit 40, turn, tighten yarn and purl 48.

Now work an elevation at the back of shorts as explained below.
ELEVATION AT THE BACK:
To get a better fit work the shorts higher at the back than at the front. This is done by working short rows back and forth as follows: Insert 1 marker at beginning of round = mid back. Work from right side and knit 8 past marker, turn, tighten yarn and purl 16 stitches back. Turn, tighten yarn and knit 24, turn, tighten yarn and purl 32. Turn, tighten yarn and knit 40, turn, tighten yarn and purl 48.
Turn piece, tighten yarn and knit until mid back.
SHORTS:
Continue in the round in stocking stitch over all stitches. REMEMBER THE KNITTING TENSION! When shorts measures (14) 16-17-20-21 (22) cm from cast-on edge, insert 1 marker thread mid front and 1 marker thread mid back. On next round increase 1 stitch on each side of both marker threads – read INCREASE TIP (= 4 stitches increased). Increase like this every other round 6 times in total = (110) 120-130-144-154 (158) stitches. Work until piece measures (18) 20-21-24-25 (26) cm from cast-on edge mid front. Now divide for legs at both marker threads. Slip half the stitches on a stitch holder or extra needle and work leg over the remaining stitches as explained below. NOW MEASURE THE PIECE FROM HERE!
LEG:
= (55) 60-65-72-77 (79) stitches. Distribute the stitches on double pointed needles size 3 mm and work in stocking stitch in the round. AT THE SAME TIME after 1 round, decrease 2 stitches on inside of leg - read DECREASE TIP. Decrease like this every other round (2) 2-2-2-3 (3) times in total = (51) 56-61-68-71 (73) stitches. Switch to double pointed needles size 2.5 mm. Knit 1 round while increasing (5) 6-7-8-9 (9) stitches evenly = (56) 62-68-76-80 (82) stitches. Work rib in the round = knit 1/purl 1 for 2 cm. Loosely cast off stitches with knit over knit and purl over purl. Work the other leg the same way.
TWINED STRING FOR TIE:
Cut 2 lengths of 3 metres each. Twine the strands tog until they resist, fold the string double so that it twines again. Make a knot at each end. Thread tie up and down in row with eyelet holes on shorts, make a bow mid front.

Hei! Når man skal legge opp 68 masker på halsen til prematur, og generelt så blir jeg forvirret når det står inkludert 5 på hver side til maskestolpe. Er de 10 maskene en del av de 68 eller skal man legge opp til 78 masker?

Hei Mina Emilie Når det står at stolpemaskene er inkludert i maskeantallet vil det si at maskestolpene er medregnet med de 68 maskene. Hadde det f.eks stått: Legg opp 68 masker + 5 stolpemasker i hver side ville det ha blitt 78 masker. mvh DROPS Design
24.07.2023 kl. 11:23La lavorazione dello sprone mi piace molto! Sarebbe bello se le misure del cardigan potessero arrivare ai 4 anni!
29.06.2023 - 07:18Strikker trøjen i prematur og skal dele til ærmer, ryg og forstykker jeg har 158 masker. der deles således: 5 m ( forkant), 25 m (forstykke), 34 m (ærme) 40 m (ryg) 34 m (ærme) 25 m (forstykke) 5 m (forkant) = 168 m hvor skal jeg finde de 10 ekstra masker??

Hej Pia, 5m rille 20m (= forstykke), 34 erme, strikk 40m (= bakstykke), 34m erme, 20 m (= forstykke) 5m rille = 158m.
25.04.2023 kl. 13:37Jeg er nået til udtagning efter mønster. Kan det passe, at der skal tages færre masker i str 12-18 mdr. end str 6-9 md
18.03.2023 - 10:01Bonjour dans l'explication des manches, à propos du fil marqueur, ne faudrait - il pas lire "faire suivre le fil marqueur" plutôt que "faire le fil" ? Joli modèle je me suis bien régalée avec le point fantaisie.

Bonjour Micocoule et merci, c'est ajouté :) Bonne continuation!
20.02.2023 kl. 09:23Hva har jeg misforstått her... Hos meg har jakken blitt mye større foran enn bak... Strikker 1/3 mnd, og det står at bakstykke skal ha 52 masker, mens framstykkene er 31m + 31 m + knappestolpe. Jeg har ett kjempeoverlapp! Bruker baby merino.
04.01.2023 - 21:36DROPS Design answered:
Hei Hege, Forstykkene skal ha 31 masker hver (med stolpene inkludert i masketallet), 42 masker på hvert erme og 52 masker på bakstykket. Med 5 masker på hver stolpe har du 26 masker på begge forstykkene og stolpene som overlapper. Håper dette hjelper og god fornøyelse!
