EXPLANATION FOR THE PATTERN:

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

GARTER STITCH (back and forth):
Knit all rows.
1 ridge vertically = knit 2 rows.

PATTERN: 
See diagrams A.1 to A.6. Choose diagram for your size. Diagrams show all rows in pattern seen from the right side.

DECREASE TIP-1 (evenly):
Decrease from wrong side before cables begin.
To calculate how to decrease evenly, count number of stitches to decrease over (e.g. 16 stitches) and divide by number of decreases to be done (e.g. 3) = 5.3.
In this example decrease by working approx. every 4th and 5th stitch purl together.

DECREASE TIP-2 (applies to mid under sleeves): 
Begin 3 stitches before marker thread and knit 2 together, knit 2 (marker thread is between these 2 stitches), slip 1 stitch knitwise, knit 1, pass slipped stitch over stitch worked (= 2 stitches decreased).

INCREASE TIP (evenly):
To calculate how to increase evenly, use the total number of stitches to increase over (e.g. 34 stitches) and divide stitches by number of increases to be done (e.g. 8) = 4.25. In this example increase by making 1 yarn over after approx. every 4th stitch. On next round work yarn overs twisted to avoid holes.

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

JUMPER - SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE:
Front piece and back piece are worked back and forth on circular needle, from bottom up. There are cables on both front and back piece. Sew piece together on the shoulders. Pick up stitches along the armholes and work sleeves back and forth on circular needle top down until sleeve cap is done, then work the sleeves in the round until finished measurements. Work sleeves top down to adjust sleeve length to desired measurements. Then sew sleeve and side seams before working a high collar.

FRONT PIECE:
Cast on 114-124-124-134-144-144-154 stitches (including 1 edge stitch in each side) on circular needle size 5 mm with 1 strand Nepal and 1 strand Kid- Silk (= 2 strands).
Purl 1 row. Work next row as follows from right side: 1 edge stitch in GARTER STITCH - read explanation above, knit 1, * purl 3, knit 2 *, work from *-* over the next 10-15-15-20-20-20-25 stitches, work A.1 (= 29-29-29-29-33-33-33 stitches), work A.2 (= 32-32-32-32-34-34-34 stitches), work A.3 (= 29-29-29-29-33-33-33 stitches), * knit 2, purl 3 *, work from *-* over the next 10-15-15-20-20-20-25 stitches, knit 1 and finish with 1 edge stitch in garter stitch.
Continue rib like this but work last row in A.3-A.1 as follows from wrong side: 1 edge stitch in garter stitch, work 11-16-16-21-21-21-26 stitches in stocking stitch and decrease 1-3-1-3-4-1-2 stitches evenly over these 11-16-16-21-21-21-26 stitches - read DECREASE TIP-1, work last row in A.3, A.2 and A.1, work 11-16-16-21-21-21-26 stitches in stocking stitch and decrease 1-3-1-3-4-1-2 stitches evenly over these 11-16-16-21-21-21-26 stitches and finish with 1 edge stitch in garter stitch.
Piece now measures approx. 6 cm from cast-on edge, and there are 97-103-107-113-121-127-135 stitches on needle.
Switch to circular needle size 6 mm. Now begin cables, i.e. work next row as follows from right side:
1 edge stitch in garter stitch, work 10-13-15-18-17-20-24 stitches in stocking stitch, work A.4 (= 24-24-24-24-28-28-28 stitches), work A.5 (= 27-27-27-27-29-29-29 stitches), work A.6 (= 24-24-24-24-28-28-28 stitches), work 10-13-15-18-17-20-24 stitches in stocking stitch and finish with 1 edge stitch in garter stitch.
Continue pattern like this. REMEMBER THE KNITTING TENSION!
When piece measures 52-54-56-58-60-62-64 cm, cast off 5-5-5-7-8-8-9 stitches at the beginning of the next 2 rows for armhole = 87-93-97-99-105-111-117 stitches remain. Then work with 1 edge stitch in garter stitch in each side until piece measures 64-67-70-72-75-77-80 cm.
On next row from right side decrease 8 stitches over the 2 cables mid front (knit stitches in every cable together 2 by 2) = 79-85-89-91-97-103-109 stitches remain.
Then slip the middle 15-15-15-15-17-17-17 stitches on 1 stitch holder for neck and finish each shoulder separately.
Then cast off for neck and slip stitches on a stitch holder for diagonal shoulder as explained below.
Continue pattern and cast off for neck at the beginning of every row from neck as follows: Cast off 2 stitches 1 time and 1 stitch 2 times.
AT THE SAME TIME when piece measures 67-70-73-76-79-82-85 cm, decrease 4 stitches over cable on shoulder (knit stitches in cable together 2 by 2 from right side).
Then slip stitches on stitch holder for diagonal shoulder as follows: Begin at armhole and slip stitches on a stitch holder on every row from armhole like this (to avoid cutting the yarn work stitches before slipping them on a stitch holder): Slip 8-9-10-10-11-12-13 stitches on a stitch holder 2 times and 8-9-9-10-10-11-12 stitches on a stitch holder 1 time.
When all stitches have been slipped on a stitch holder for diagonal shoulder and cast off for neck, front piece measures approx. 71-74-77-80-83-86-89 cm from the highest point on shoulder and down.
Work the other shoulder the same way.

BACK PIECE:
Cast on 114-124-124-134-144-144-154 stitches (including 1 edge stitch in each side) on circular needle size 5 mm with 1 strand Nepal and 1 strand Kid- Silk (= 2 strands).
Purl 1 row. Work next row as follows from right side: 1 edge stitch in garter stitch, knit 1, * purl 3, knit 2 *, work from *-* over the next 10-15-15-20-20-20-25 stitches, work A.1 (= 29-29-29-29-33-33-33 stitches), work A.2 (= 32-32-32-32-34-34-34 stitches), work A.3 (= 29-29-29-29-33-33-33 stitches), * knit 2, purl 3 *, work from *-* over the next 10-15-15-20-20-20-25 stitches, knit 1 and finish with 1 edge stitch in garter stitch.
Continue rib like this but work last row in A.3-A.1 as follows from wrong side: 1 edge stitch in garter stitch, work 11-16-16-21-21-21-26 stitches in stocking stitch and decrease 1-3-1-3-4-1-2 stitches evenly over these 11-16-16-21-21-21-26 stitches - read DECREASE TIP-1, work last row in A.3, A.2 and A.1, work 11-16-16-21-21-21-26 stitches in stocking stitch and decrease 1-3-1-3-4-1-2 stitches evenly over these 11-16-16-21-21-21-26 stitches and finish with 1 edge stitch in garter stitch.
Piece now measures approx. 6 cm from cast-on edge, and there are 97-103-107-113-121-127-135 stitches on needle.
Switch to circular needle size 6 mm. Now begin cables, i.e. work next row as follows from right side:
1 edge stitch in garter stitch, work 10-13-15-18-17-20-24 stitches in stocking stitch, work A.4 (= 24-24-24-24-28-28-28 stitches), work A.5 (= 27-27-27-27-29-29-29 stitches), work A.6 (= 24-24-24-24-28-28-28 stitches), work 10-13-15-18-17-20-24 stitches in stocking stitch and finish with 1 edge stitch in garter stitch. Continue pattern like this.
When piece measures 52-54-56-58-60-62-64 cm, cast off 5-5-5-7-8-8-9 stitches at the beginning of the next 2 rows for armhole = 87-93-97-99-105-111-117 stitches remain.
Then work with 1 edge stitch in garter stitch in each side until piece measures 67-70-73-76-79-82-85 cm. On next row from right side, knit stitches in each of the 4 cables together 2 by 2 (= 16 stitches decreased) = 71-77-81-83-89-95-101 stitches.
Then cast off for neck and slip stitches on a stitch holder for diagonal shoulder as explained below.
Cast off the middle 21-21-21-21-23-23-23 stitches for neck and finish each shoulder separately.
Continue pattern without cables, cast off 1 stitch on next row from neck. AT THE SAME TIME slip stitches on stitch holder for diagonal shoulder in the same way as on front piece.
When all stitches have been slipped on a stitch holder for diagonal shoulder and cast off for neck, back piece measures approx. 71-74-77-80-83-86-89 cm from the highest point on shoulder and down.
Work the other shoulder the same way.

SHOULDER:
Slip the 24-27-29-30-32-35-38 stitches from stitch holder on one of the shoulder back on circular needle size 6 mm. Knit 1 row from wrong side over these stitches but to avoid holes in every transition where stitches were slipped on stitch holder, pick up loop between 2 stitches and slip it twisted on left needle before working it together with next stitch on left needle. Then loosely cast off all stitches by knitting from right side.
Work the same way along the 3 other shoulders.

ASSEMBLY:
Sew shoulder seams inside cast-off edge.

SLEEVE:
Pick up 42-44-48-50-54-56-58 stitches along armhole inside 1 edge stitch in garter stitch on circular needle size 6 mm with 1 strand of each quality (= 2 strands) - NOTE: Do not pick up stitches along the bottom of armhole.
Work in stocking stitch back and forth for 3-3-3-4-5-5-6 cm (= sleeve cap and as far as the bottom of armhole).
Then work sleeves in the round on double pointed needles/a short circular needle size 6 mm. Insert 1 marker thread at beginning of round (= mid under sleeve). Move the marker thread upwards when working; it should be used for decrease mid under sleeve.
Work in stocking stitch in the round. When sleeve measures 2 cm from where marker thread was inserted, decrease 2 stitches mid under sleeve - read DECREASE TIP-2. Decrease like this every 3-3-3-2½-2-2-1½ cm 5-5-6-7-8-8-9 times in total = 32-34-36-36-38-40-40 stitches.
Work until sleeve measures 43-42-42-41-39-38-36 cm from where marker thread was inserted (sleeve has been worked to finished length, try the jumper on and work to desired length).
Switch to double pointed needles size 5 mm. Knit 1 round while increasing 4-8-6-6-4-8-8 stitches evenly - read INCREASE TIP = 36-42-42-42-42-48-48 stitches.
Work rib in the round = knit 2/purl 4 for 5 cm. Knit 1 round and then loosely cast off by purling.
Work the other sleeve the same way. Fold the rib at the bottom upwards on both sleeves and fasten with a couple of stitches.

MORE ASSEMBLY:
Sew side seams inside 1 edge stitch in garter stitch. Sew bottom of armhole.

HIGH COLLAR:
Pick up approx. 66 to 84 stitches around the neck (including stitches on stitch holders at the front) on a short circular needle size 5 mm with 1 strand Nepal + 1 strand Kid-Silk (number of stitches should be divisible by 6).
Work rib in the round (knit 2/ purl 4) for approx. 11-12-12-13-13-14-14 cm, or desired length. Cast off stitches with knit over knit and purl over purl.

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.

Ik snap het steken op een hulp-draad zetten niet voor de schuine schouder naad. Ik heb dus 3 hulp draden, respectievelijk een met 9, nog een met 9 en een met 10 steken. Wat is het doel van deze hulpdraden? Hoe wordt de schouder dan schuin? Wanneer zet ik ze weer in elkaar. Ik kan er geen video over vinden.

DROPS Design answered:

Dag Mieke,

Door het stapsgewijs steken op een hulpdraad te zetten voor de schouder, wordt deze inderdaad schuin, omdat je de andere steken wel breit. Nadat je alle steken op een hulpdraad hebt gezet, kunnen ze weer bij elkaar op de naald gezet worden.

Blessuð Þóra. Prjónfestan sem er gefin upp fyrir þetta mynstur er miðuð við einn þráð í garnflokki C sem er DROPS Nepal og einn þráð í garnflokki A sem er DROPS Kid-Silk. Þá á prjónfestan að passa miðað við prjóna nr 6. Gangi þér vel.

Hola! Quisiera preguntar sobre el hombro en diagonal. No entiendo muy bien cómo hacerlo. ¿Se pasan todos los puntos del gancho auxiliar a la aguja de una sola vez? Luego ¿se teje una sola fila? Muchas gracias, saludos desde la Patagonia Argentina. Carolina chacoff

Dear Drops. I am knitting 250-47 and I am confused. It says decrease 8 stitches over the 2 cables mid front. I am fine with this but then it says slip the middle 15 stitches on 1 stich holder for neck and finish shoulders separately. Then I am completely lost! Any more explanation would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Claire

Dear Mrs Deamer after you have decreased 8 sts over the cables worked on mid front, slip the middle 15 sts on a thread for neck and continue now each shoulder separately casting off for neck at the beg of every row from neck (from RS = right shoulder / from WS = left shoulder). After first shoulder is done, cut the yarn and work 2nd shoulder. Happy knitting!

Jeg undrer mig over snoningspindene. Er der ikke fejl i teksten? = sæt 4 masker på snoningspind bag arbejdet, strik 4 ret, strik 4 ret fra snoningspinden = sæt 4 masker på snoningspind bag arbejdet, strik 4 ret, strik 4 ret fra snoningspinden Der er 2 forskellige tegn i opskriften, men samme forklaring. Skal den sidste ikke være 4 masker på snoningspind FORAN arbejdet?

In de laatste rij van boordsteek moet je de eerste 16 steken en 1 ervan minder Op de verkeerde kant tricot breien en dan A3, A2,A1 met de minderen. Maar dan nadien moet je aan de goede kant met naald 6 mmm de eerste 15 steken en de laatste 15 in tricot breien. Daar zit het hem nu ! Je hebt nu aan de goeie zijde voor de eerste 15 dobbelsteen van de vorige naald en nu moet ik tricot breien op die averechtse aan de goeie kant . Hopelijk begrijp je mij, denk dat er een foutje inzit?

DROPS Design answered:

Dag Nancy,

Op de laatste naald (welke je aan de verkeerde kant breit) minder je 1 steek van die 16 steken, waardoor je er 15 steken over hebt. Dit doe je aan het begin en aan het einde van de naald, dus alleen het stukje in tricotsteek. Daar tussenin brei je de steken van het telpatroon, waarin de minderingen al verwerkt zijn.
