EXPLANATION FOR THE PATTERN:
----------------------------------------------------------
GARTER STITCH (back and forth):
Knit all rows.
1 ridge vertically = knit 2 rows.
PATTERN:
See diagram A.1. Work the entire diagram in stocking stitch and continue stripes the same way as A.1 shows out in each side on front and back piece.
Work with 3, 5 or 7 balls on row (depending on where you are in the pattern), to avoid long jumps with the yarn on the wrong side. I.e. At the bottom of jumper when first stripes begin, work with 1 ball beige on each side of jumper and 1 ball orange in the middle of jumper. NOTE: To avoid holes at colour change twine the yarns together.
DECREASE TIP-1 (evenly):
To calculate how to decrease evenly, use the total number of stitches on row (e.g. 100 stitches), minus edge stitches (2 stitches) and divide the remaining 98 stitches by number of decreases to be done (e.g. 9) = 10.8.
In this example decrease by knitting approx. every 10th and 11th stitch together. Do not decrease over edge stitches.
DECREASE TIP-2 (applies to V-neck):
Decrease for V-neck inside 5 edge stitches in garter stitch towards mid front. All decreases are done from the right side!
Decrease as follows after 5 edge stitches in garter stitch: Slip 1 stitch knitwise, knit 1, pass slipped stitch over stitch worked (= 1 stitch decreased).
Decrease as follows before 5 edge stitches in garter stitch: Begin 2 stitches before the 5 edge stitches and knit 2 together (= 1 stitch decreased).

JUMPER - SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE:
Work front and back piece back and forth on circular needle separately, bottom up. Sew the shoulder seams. Then pick up stitches along armholes for sleeves. Work sleeves back and forth on circular needle until sleeve cap is done, then work the rest of sleeve in the round on double pointed needles/circular needle, top down until finished measurements. Finally sew the bottom of armhole. Sew jumper together when finished.
FRONT PIECE:
Cast on 94-100-108-118-126-138 stitches on circular needle size 4.5 mm with beige. Purl 1 row (= wrong side). Then work rib (= knit 1/purl 1) with 1 edge stitch in GARTER STITCH - read explanation above, in each side. When rib measures 4 cm, switch to circular needle size 5.5 mm. Knit 1 row from right side while decreasing 9-9-9-11-11-13 stitches evenly - read DECREASE TIP-1 = 85-91-99-107-115-125 stitches. Then work in stocking stitch with 1 edge stitch in garter stitch in each side. REMEMBER THE KNITTING TENSION!
When piece measures 9-10-11-12-13-14 cm from cast-on edge, begin stripes - read PATTERN. Work first row as follows from right side: Work 1 edge stitch in garter stitch with beige, work 21-24-28-32-36-41 stitches in stocking stitch with beige, work A.1 (= 41 stitches), work 21-24-28-32-36-41 stitches in stocking stitch with beige and finish with 1 edge stitch in garter stitch with beige. Continue pattern like this.
When piece measures 36-37-38-39-40-41 cm, cast off 2 stitches at beginning of the 2 next rows for armholes = 81-87-95-103-111-121 stitches.
Continue pattern as before.
When piece measures 38-39-40-41-42-43 cm, begin decrease for V-neck. I.e. work next row from wrong side as follows: Work 38-41-45-49-53-58 stitches as before, knit 5 stitches, work the remaining 38-41-45-49-53-58 stitches as before.
On next row (right side), knit until the 5 purl stitches mid front. Then pick up 1 stitch in each of the 5 purl stitches but pick up on the back of these 5 stitches.
Keep these 43-46-50-54-58-63 first stitches on needle (i.e. 38-41-45-49-53-58 stitches + 5 stitches that were knitted up).
Slip the remaining 43-46-50-54-58-63 stitches on 1 stitch holder.
Finish each side of V-neck separately.
LEFT SIDE FRONT (when garment is worn):
Begin from wrong side and work in stocking stitch back and forth with 5 edge stitches in garter stitch towards mid front and 1 edge stitch in garter stitch towards the side. Continue pattern the same way as before till all stitches are worked in black.
AT THE SAME TIME on next row from right side, decrease 1 stitch for V-neck towards mid front - read DECREASE TIP-2. Decrease like this every other row 3-3-4-4-4-4 times in total and then every 4th row 4-4-4-4-5-5 times in total.
After last decrease there are 36-39-42-46-49-54 stitches on needle.
Work until piece measures 54-56-58-60-62-64 cm from cast-on edge. Begin from right side and cast of the first 31-34-37-41-44-49 stitches on shoulder (make sure to avoid a tight cast-off edge) = 5 stitches in garter stitch remain on needle. Work in garter stitch back and forth over these 5 stitches for approx. 8-8-9-9-9-9 cm. Cast off.
RIGHT SIDE FRONT (when garment is worn):
Slip the 43-46-50-54-58-63 stitches from stitch holder back on circular needle size 5.5 mm. Begin from right side and work in stocking stitch back and forth with 5 edge stitches in garter stitch towards mid front and 1 edge stitch in garter stitch towards the side. Continue pattern the same way as before till all stitches are worked in black.
AT THE SAME TIME on next row from right side, decrease 1 stitch for V-neck towards mid front - read DECREASE TIP-2. Decrease like this every other row 3-3-4-4-4-4 times in total and then every 4th row 4-4-4-4-5-5 times in total.
After last decrease there are 36-39-42-46-49-54 stitches on needle.

Then work in stocking stitch with 1 edge stitch in garter stitch in each side.
When piece measures 9-10-11-12-13-14 cm from cast-on edge, begin stripes and work the same way as on front piece (i.e. stripes on front and back piece are identical).
When piece measures 36-37-38-39-40-41 cm, cast off 2 stitches at beginning of the 2 next rows for armholes = 81-87-95-103-111-121 stitches.
Continue pattern as before until all stitches are worked in black. Work until piece measures 52-54-56-58-60-62 cm from cast-on edge. On next row cast off the middle 17-17-19-19-21-21 stitches for neck and finish each shoulder separately.

Work in stocking stitch back and forth with 1 edge stitch in garter stitch in each side. When sleeve measures 2 cm in all sizes from where stitches were knitted up, insert 1 marker at the beginning and end of row.

Switch to double pointed needles/short circular needle size 5.5 mm and work in stocking stitch in the round.
Work until sleeve measures 41-40-39-37-36-33 cm (approx. 4 cm remain before finished measurements, try the jumper on and work to desired length).

Beste, Ik begrijp niet wat u bedoelt met deze beschrijving ivm aanzet V hals. Graag wat meer uitleg. ‘Brei op de volgende naald (goede kant) recht tot de 5 steken averecht midden voor. Neem dan 1 steek op in elk van de 5 averechte steken, maar neem deze op aan de achterkant van deze 5 steken.’ Thanks !

Dag Katleen,
In plaats van de rechter naald in de voorste lus van de steek te steken, steek je de naald nu in de achterste lus van de steek. In elke steek brei je 2 steken. Dus in de eerste steek brei je twee steken, in de tweede steek brei je 2 steken, enzovoorts.
17.05.2023 kl. 18:01Je ne comprends pas les 5 mailles au point mousse côté encolure pouvez vous m expliquer svp d avance merci

Bonjour Annie, quand on tricote les 2 devants séparément, on les tricote en jersey = comme avant, mais avec 1 maille lisière au point mousse côté emmanchure et 5 mailles au point mousse côté encolure, autrement dit, sur l'endroit, tricotez toutes les mailles à l'endroit et sur l'envers, tricotez les 5 mailles côté encolure (en début de rang sur l'envers pour le devant gauche/en fin de rang sur l'envers pour le devant droit) à l'endroit (tout comme la maille lisière côté emmanchure). Bon tricot!
22.02.2021 kl. 09:26Gehen die Streifen über die ganze Breite? Im Diagramm sieht es so aus, als ob an der Seite noch beige gestrickt wird. Auf dem Foto sieht es anders aus.

Liebe Frau Vowinckel, ja genau, die streifen gehen über die ganze Breite, dh so wie in A.1 beidseitig weitestricken bis die Randmaschen mit der unteren bzw neuen Farbe gestrickt wird, dh Sie werden dann bei einigen Reihen mit 5 und eben mit 7 knäuel stricken. Viel Spaß beim stricken!
26.10.2020 kl. 08:04Bonjour, Je ne suis pas sûre de comprendre les explications pour les manches : au début, elles sont ouvertes, c'est ça ? Ce sont les deux centimètres qui permettent de donner l'aisance du dessous de bras ? Merci de votre réponse.

Bonjour Mme Cortesi, vous avez tout à fait compris, ces 2 cm du haut de la manche seront cousues le long des mailles rabattues pour les emmanchures dos/devant sur les côtés, et on termine ensuite la manche en rond. Bonne continuation!

16.02.2020 kl. 23:02Ich möchte gerne wissen, ob in dem Diagramm A1 nur die Hinreihen oder die Hin- und Rückreihen angegeben sind. Können Sie mir da bitte helfen? Vielen Dank!
