---------------------------------------------------------- EXPLANATION FOR THE PATTERN: ---------------------------------------------------------- GARTER STITCH (back and forth): Knit all rows. 1 ridge vertically = knit 2 rows. I-CORD EDGE RIGHT FRONT PIECE (applies to outermost edge along mid front): Begin from right side, * pass the first 3 stitches on needle loosely onto right needle without working the stitches (pass 1 by 1 with thread at the back of piece), tighten yarn a bit, and work pattern and stocking stitch over the other stitches as explained in pattern, turn piece, work stocking stitch and pattern as before until 3 stitches remain on row towards mid front, purl these stitches, turn piece *, work from *-* until finished measurements. NOTE! You need to work a few cm and pull the edge a bit before you see the best result. I-CORD EDGE LEFT FRONT PIECE (applies to outermost edge along mid front): Begin from right side, * work stocking stitch and pattern as before until 3 stitches on needle remain towards mid front, pass the last 3 stitches on needle loosely onto right needle without working the stitches (pass them 1 by 1 with thread at the back of piece), turn piece, tighten yarn, and purl the first 3 stitches, then work pattern and stocking stitch over the other stitches as explained in pattern, turn piece *, work from *-* until finished measurements. NOTE! You need to work a few cm and pull the edge a bit before you see the best result. 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. TUBE KNITTING: Knit 1 row from right side, * slide all stitches to the right side of needle without turning the piece, tighten yarn and knit over all stitches *, work from *-*. ---------------------------------------------------------- START THE PIECE HERE: ---------------------------------------------------------- JACKET - SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE: Front pieces and back piece are worked back and forth on circular needle, bottom up. There are cables on both front pieces and back piece. On front piece the outermost 26-26-26-28-28-28 stitches towards mid front count as band with overlap. 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 and collar to neck line at the back of neck. RIGHT FRONT PIECE: Cast on 79-79-84-90-90-95 stitches (including 26-26-26-28-28-28 band stitches towards mid front and 1 edge stitch in the side) on circular needle size 5 mm with 1 strand Nepal and 1 strand Kid- Silk (= 2 strands). Purl 1 row (= wrong side). Work next row as follows from the right side (i.e. from mid front): Work I-CORD EDGE RIGHT FRONT PIECE over the first 3 stitches - read explanation above, work A.2 (= 28-28-28-30-30-30 stitches), work A.3 (= 31-31-31-35-35-35 stitches), * knit 2, purl 3 *, work from *-* over the next 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 and A.2 as follows from wrong side: 1 edge stitch in garter stitch, work 16-16-21-21-21-26 stitches in stocking stitch and decrease at the same time 3-1-3-4-1-2 stitches evenly over these 16-16-21-21-21-26 stitches - read DECREASE TIP 1, work last row in A.3 and A.2, and finish with i-cord edge over the last 3 stitches towards mid front. Piece measures approx. 6 cm from cast-on edge and there are 66-68-71-76-79-83 stitches on needle. Switch to circular needle size 6 mm. Now begin cables, i.e. work next row as follows from right side: Continue with i-cord edge over the first 3 stitches mid front, work A.5 (= 23-23-23-25-25-25 stitches), work A.6 (= 26-26-26-30-30-30 stitches), work 13-15-18-17-20-24 stitches in stocking stitch and finish with 1 edge stitch in garter stitch towards the side. Continue pattern like this. REMEMBER THE KNITTING TENSION! When piece measures 52-54-56-58-60-62 cm, cast off 5-5-7-8-8-9 stitches for armhole at the beginning of row from the side = 61-63-64-68-71-74 stitches. Continue pattern as before with 1 edge stitch in garter stitch towards armhole until piece measures 68-71-74-77-80-83 cm. On next row from right side, knit stitches in the outermost cable towards the side together 2 by 2 (= 4 stitches decreased) = 57-59-60-64-67-70 stitches remain on needle. Then slip stitches on stitch holder for diagonal shoulder as explained below. Begin in the side 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 10-11-11-12-13-14 stitches on stitch holder 2 times and 11-11-12-12-13-14 stitches on a stitch holder 1 time = 26-26-26-28-28-28 stitches remain on needle for collar, work the rest of row as before. Continue to work back and forth over these 26-26-26-28-28-28 stitches as follows: Row 1 (right side): Work as before over the first 23-23-23-24-24-24 stitches, turn and tighten yarn. Row 2 (= wrong side): Work as before the rest of row, turn piece and tighten yarn. Row 3 (right side): Work as before over all stitches, turn piece and tighten yarn. Row 4 (= wrong side): Work as before the rest of row, turn piece and tighten yarn. Repeat rows 1-4 until collar measures approx. 9-9-9-10-10-10 cm on the inside at the shortest. Work 1 ridge back and forth over all stitches. Loosely cast off by knitting from right side. LEFT FRONT PIECE: Cast on 79-79-84-90-90-95 stitches (including 1 edge stitch in the side and 26-26-26-28-28-28 band stitches towards mid front) on circular needle size 5 mm with 1 strand Nepal + 1 strand Kid-Silk (= 2 strands). Purl 1 row (= wrong side). Work next row as follows from the right side (i.e. from the side): Work 1 edge stitch in garter stitch, knit 1, * purl 3, knit 2 *, work from *-* over the next 15-15-20-20-20-25 stitches, work A.1 (= 31-31-31-35-35-35 stitches), work A.2 (= 28-28-28-30-30-30 stitches), and finish with I-CORD EDGE LEFT FRONT PIECE over the 3 last stitches. Continue rib like this but work last row in A.2 and A.1 as follows from wrong side: Work i-cord edge over the 3 first stitches, work last row in A.2 and A.1, work 16-16-21-21-21-26 stitches in stocking stitch and decrease at the same time 3-1-3-4-1-2 stitches evenly over these 16-16-21-21-21-26 stitches and finish with 1 edge stitch in garter stitch. Piece measures approx. 6 cm from cast-on edge and there are 66-68-71-76-79-83 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 13-15-18-17-20-24 stitches in stocking stitch, work A.4 (= 26-26-26-30-30-30 stitches), work A.5 (= 23-23-23-25-25-25 stitches), finish with i-cord edge over the last 3 stitches mid front as before. Continue pattern like this. When piece measures 52-54-56-58-60-62 cm, cast off 5-5-7-8-8-9 stitches for armhole at the beginning of row from the side = 61-63-64-68-71-74 stitches. Continue pattern as before with 1 edge stitch in garter stitch towards armhole until piece measures 68-71-74-77-80-83 cm. On next row from right side, knit stitches in the outermost cable towards the side together 2 by 2 (= 4 stitches decreased) = 57-59-60-64-67-70 stitches remain on needle. Then slip stitches on stitch holder for diagonal shoulder as explained below. Begin in the side 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 10-11-11-12-13-14 stitches on stitch holder 2 times and 11-11-12-12-13-14 stitches on a stitch holder 1 time = 26-26-26-28-28-28 stitches remain on needle for collar, work the rest of row as before. Continue to work back and forth over these 26-26-26-28-28-28 stitches as follows: Row 1 (= wrong side): Work as before over the first 23-23-23-24-24-24 stitches, turn and tighten yarn. Row 2 (right side): Work as before the rest of row, turn piece and tighten yarn. Row 3 (= wrong side): Work as before over all stitches, turn piece and tighten yarn. Row 4 (right side): Work as before the rest of row, turn piece and tighten yarn. Repeat rows 1-4 until collar measures approx. 9-9-9-10-10-10 cm on the inside at the shortest but finish after a row from wrong side. Work 1 ridge back and forth over all stitches. Loosely cast off by knitting from right side. BACK PIECE: Cast on 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 (= wrong side). 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 15-15-20-20-20-25 stitches, work A.1 (= 31-31-31-35-35-35 stitches), work A.2 (= 28-28-28-30-30-30 stitches), work A.3 (= 31-31-31-35-35-35 stitches), * knit 2, purl 3 *, work from *-* over the next 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.2 and A.1 as follows from wrong side: 1 edge stitch in garter stitch, work 16-16-21-21-21-26 stitches in stocking stitch and decrease 3-1-3-4-1-2 stitches evenly over these 16-16-21-21-21-26 stitches - read DECREASE TIP-1, work last row in A.3, A.2 and A.1, work 16-16-21-21-21-26 stitches in stocking stitch and decrease 3-1-3-4-1-2 stitches evenly over these 16-16-21-21-21-26 stitches and finish with 1 edge stitch in garter stitch. Piece measures approx. 6 cm from cast-on edge and there are 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, 13-15-18-17-20-24 stitches in stocking stitch, work A.4 (= 26-26-26-30-30-30 stitches), work A.5 (= 23-23-23-25-25-25 stitches), work A.6 (= 26-26-26-30-30-30 stitches), work 13-15-18-17-20-24 stitches in stocking stitches and finish with 1 edge stitch in garter stitch. Continue pattern like this. When piece measures 52-54-56-58-60-62 cm, cast off 5-5-7-8-8-9 stitches at the beginning of the next 2 rows for armhole = 93-97-99-105-111-117 stitches remain. Continue with pattern as before with 1 edge stitch in garter stitch in each side until piece measures 68-71-74-77-80-83 cm. On next row from right side, knit stitches in the outermost cable in each side together 2 by 2 (= 8 stitches decreased on row) = 85-89-91-97-103-109 stitches remain on needle. Then slip stitches on a stitch holder for diagonal shoulder in each side and cast at the same time off for neck as explained below. Begin at armhole and slip stitches on a stitch holder on every row from armhole in each side like this (to avoid cutting the yarn work stitches before slipping them on a stitch holder): Slip 10-11-11-12-13-14 stitches on a stitch holder 2 times in each side and 11-11-12-12-13-14 stitches on a stitch holder 1 time in each side. AT THE SAME TIME when piece measures 69-72-75-78-81-84 cm, decrease 8 stitches over the 2 cables mid back (knit stitches in each cable together 2 by 2). On next row cast off the middle 13-13-13-15-15-15 stitches for neck and finish each shoulder separately. Continue to slip stitches on a stitch holder and cast at the same time off 1 stitch for neck on next row from neck. When all stitches have been slipped on a stitch holder for diagonal shoulder and cast off for neck, back piece measures approx. 72-75-78-81-84-87 cm from the highest point on shoulder and down. Finish the other shoulder the same way. SHOULDER: Slip the 31-33-34-36-39-42 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. Sew collar tog mid back (make sure that seam is facing inwards when collar is folded down). Sew collar to neckline in the back of neck. SLEEVE: Pick up 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 3-3-4-5-5-6 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 3-3-2½-2-2-1½ cm 5-6-7-8-8-9 times in total = 34-36-36-38-40-40 stitches. Work until sleeve measures 42-42-41-39-38-36 cm from where marker thread was inserted (sleeve has been worked to finished length, try the jacket on and work to desired length). Switch to double pointed needles size 5 mm. Knit 1 round while increasing 8-6-6-4-8-8 stitches evenly - read INCREASE TIP = 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. BELT: Cast on 5 stitches on double pointed needles size 6 mm with 1 strand Nepal + 1 strand Kid-Silk and work TUBE KNITTING - read explanation above, until belt measures approx. 250-300 cm (or desired length). Cast off. Place belt double when using it. |

Meine Frage hat sich erledigt! Pardon! Ich hatte die Abnahmen im Diagramm schlichtweg übersehen!

Ich stricke Größe S. Nach 6 cm soll ich in der letzte Rückreihe verteilt 3 Maschen abnehmen. Wenn ich 79 Maschen auf der Nadel habe und 3 Maschen abnehmen soll, bleiben 76 Maschen übrig und nicht 66 Maschen. Wo ist mein Denkfehler? Vielen Dank für die Antwort!

Liebe Frau Sylvester, es werden 3 Maschen über die ersten 16 Maschen glatt rechtes abgenommen, aber in den Diagrammen sollen Sie auch abnehmen, wie bei ber letzten Reihe gezeigt, dh 5 Maschen im A.2 und 5 Maschen sollen insgesamt abgenommen werden (siehe 3. Symbol = 2 M rechts zusammen), so haben Sie: 79-3-5-5=66 Maschen übrig. Viel Spaß beim stricken!

Ik begrijp het nog niet helemaal. Wat wordt bedoeld met overlap. Ik zie nl die steken niet terug in het telpatroon.
15.12.2022 - 21:20DROPS Design answered:
Dag Maria,
Normaal heb je evenveel steken op het voorpand en het achterpand Als je de steken van beide voorpanden bij elkaar optelt is dit meer dan het achterpand. In de maattekening (niet de telpatronen maar de tekening met de maten daaronder) zie je ook dat dat de lijn niet midden voor zit maar er een beetje overheen.

Op het voorpand tellen de buitenste 26-26-26-28-28-28 steken richting midden voor als voorbies met overlap. Op de foto van de vest zie ik die overlap niet terug. Betekent dat ik die steken niet hoef op te zetten als ik de overlap niet wil.

Dag Maria,
Het vest dat op de foto te zien is, is wel met overlap, deze loopt door in de hals achter. Als je geen overlap wilt kun je inderdaad ervoor kiezen om die steken niet op te zetten.

I'm confused with the instructions on Right front piece. The paragraph " on the next row from right side, knit stitches in the outermost cable towards the side together 2 by 2 . So do I follow pattern up to the cable at armhole and decrease 4 stitches in the cable pattern. I also don't understand the slipping of the stitches i.e. slipping stitches on stitch holder 2 times?
05.09.2022 - 18:58DROPS Design answered:
Dear Mrs Dale, you need more stitches for cables than for stocking stitch, that's why you have now to decrease the number of sts (to avoid a large shoulder), so just work the knit stitches from the cable 2 by 2. Then work short rows starting at the beginning of row from armhole: work the first 10-14 sts (see size) and slip then on a thread, work to the end of row, turn and work row back. Work these 2 rows a total of 2 times then work the first 11-14 sts and slip them on a thread 26-28 sts remain on needle, work them as before for the collar. Happy knitting!

I am unsure about the reference to 2 by 2 in the direction below. Could you clarify, please? Is this two leaning decreases? "On next row from right side, knit stitches in the outermost cable towards the side together 2 by 2 (= 4 stitches decreased) = 57-59-60-64-67-70 stitches remain on needle. Then slip stitches on stitch holder for diagonal shoulder as explained below."

Dear Kathy, Over the stitches of the mentioned cable you knit 2 together, and repeat the decrease until you have half as many stitches as you knitted the cable with. Happy Knitting!

Je me pose une question si 14 mailles donnent 10cm, les 134 mailles du dos doivent donner environ 95 cm, hors sur le patron c'est écrit 68cm ???
29.03.2022 - 20:00DROPS Design answered:
Bonjour Mme Bussard, les 14 mailles de l'échantillon sont tricotées en jersey alors que les 134 mailles au début du dos sont tricotées en côtes, vous aurez ensuite 113 mailles tricotées en jersey et torsades - les torsades, tout comme les côtes resserrent l'ouvrage et il faut davantage de mailles qu'en jersey pour la même largeur. Si votre échantillon est juste et que vous conservez la même tension en tricotant la veste; vous aurez la bonne largeur. Bon tricot!

I do not understand the decrease for collar you suggest decreasing 4 Sts into cable and this is not possible as the cable pattern would be changed. Why don't you say slip 33 Sts etc rather than two-times and one time? Thanks
22.02.2022 - 11:49DROPS Design answered:
Dear Mrs Caldwell, the 4 sts decreased in the cable on the side (so that you get 57-59-60-64-67-70 sts) won't be worked anymore since they will be slipped on a stitch holder afterwards. You need to decrease in the cable to avoid shoulder getting wider than required. You have then to slip 10-14 sts (see size) 2 times then 11-14 sts 1 time = stitches for collar remain on needle. Happy knitting!

At the start of the front right side the grid A2 has a slanting angle saying= from wrong side: knit 2 together. I cannot understand the " knit 2 together" it does not make sense to k 2 together reducing Sts where they are not made again on the right side. Also the first row on the grid should be the right side ? not the wrong side. Thank you

Dear Mrs Caldwell, diagrams are read bottom up, and this row will be worked from the wrong side (last row in A.2/A.3 is worked from WS), so that you will decrease the number of sts worked P from RS/K from WS by K2 tog when explained. Happy knitting!
