EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN:
-------------------------------------------------------
RIDGE/GARTER STITCH (worked back and forth):
1 ridge in height = Knit 2 rows.
INCREASE TIP (for sides of legs):
Work until there is 1 stitch left before the marker, 1 yarn over, knit 2 (marker sits between these 2 stitches), 1 yarn over. On the next round knit the yarn overs twisted to avoid holes. Then work the new stitches in stocking stitch.
DECREASE TIP:
Decrease 1 stitch on each side of the marker as follows: Work until there are 3 stitches left before the marker, knit 2 together, knit 2 (marker sits between these 2 stitches), slip 1 stitch as if to knit, knit 1, pass the slipped stitch over the knitted stitch. Decrease like this at both markers.
-------------------------------------------------------
START THE PIECE HERE:
-------------------------------------------------------
TROUSERS – SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE:
Each leg is worked separately with double pointed needles before putting them together and casting on stitches for the crutch. The piece is continued in the round with short circular needle. Front and back pieces are worked back and forth.
LEG:
Cast on (40) 44-48-48-56 (60-64) stitches with double pointed needles size 2.5 mm and Flora. Knit 1 round. Then work rib (= knit 2, purl 2). When the piece measures 5 cm, change to double pointed needles size 3 mm and continue with stocking stitch.
Insert 1 marker at the beginning of the round. Allow the marker to follow your work onwards; it marks the inside of the leg and will be used when increasing later. REMEMBER THE KNITTING TENSION!
When the piece measures 10 cm, increase (0) 1-1-1-1 (1-1) stitch on each side of the marker – read INCREASE TIP.
Increase like this every (0) 2-2-2-3 (5-7) cm a total of (0) 4-7-8-7 (6-5) times = (40) 52-62-64-70 (72-74) stitches.
Work stocking stitch until the piece measures (16) 18-25-26-31 (39-42) cm.
Move the marker (20) 26-31-32-35 (36-37) stitches (= outside of leg). Allow the marker to follow your work onwards; it marks the outside of the leg and will be used when decreasing later. Cut the strand.
Work the other leg in the same way.
JUMP SUIT:
Now place both legs on circular needle size 3 mm and continue in the round as follows:
Cast on (8) 8-8-10-10 (12-12) stitches, work the stitches from the one leg, cast on (8) 8-8-10-10 (12-12) stitches and work the stitches from the other leg = (96) 120-140-148-160 (168-172) stitches. The round starts mid-back, between the first (8) 8-8-10-10 (12-12) stitches.
Continue in the round with stocking stitch.
When the piece measures 2 cm from where the legs were joined, decrease (0) 1-1-1-1 (1-1) stitch on each side of both markers – read DECREASE TIP. Decrease like this every (0) 8-3-6-4 (8-10) cm a total of (0) 2-5-3-4 (3-2) times = (96) 112-120-136-144 (156-164) stitches.
Work stocking stitch until the piece measures (11) 13-14-17-18 (19-20) cm from the join.
Now work an elevation at the back as follows:
Knit (7) 7-9-9-9 (9-9), turn, tighten the strand and purl (14) 14-18-18-18 (18-18) stitches, turn, tighten the strand and knit (20) 20-26-26-26 (26-26) stitches, turn, tighten the strand and purl (26) 26-34-34-34 (34-34) stitches back. Continue like this, working (6) 6-8-8-8 (8-8) more stitches each time you turn and until you have worked over a total of (50) 50-66-66-82 (82-82) stitches. Turn, work to beginning of the round (= mid back).
Knit 1 round and adjust the number of stitches to (95) 115-120-140-145 (160-165) stitches (i.e. increase (0) 3-0-4-1 (4-1) stitches and decrease (1) 0-0-0-0 (0-0) stitch).
To make sure the front piece and back piece are placed correctly, the start of the round is now displaced as follows:
Move size premature: Knit until 1 stitch remains on round, now round starts here.
Move size 0/1 - 1/3 - 6/9 - 12/18 months (2 - 3/4) years: Knit 1, now round starts here.
Change to short circular needle size 2.5 mm.
Work as follows in all sizes: Work rib (= purl 2, knit 3) over all stitches. When the rib measures 4 cm, cast off stitches as follows:
Purl 2, knit 3, purl 2, knit 3, work 1 stitch in GARTER STITCH – read description above, cast off the next (19) 24-24-34-34 (39-39) stitches, work 2 stitches in garter stitch, continue with rib over the next (33) 38-43-43-48 (53-58) stitches, work 2 stitches in garter stitch (= front piece), cast off the next (19) 24-24-34-34 (39-39) stitches, work 1 stitch in garter stitch and work rib over the remaining (8) 13-13-13-13 (13-13) stitches.
BACK PIECE:
= (20) 25-25-25-25 (25-25) stitches. Continue back and forth with rib and 1 edge stitch in garter stitch on each side until the piece measures (2) 3-3-4-4 (5-5) cm from the division. The next row is worked as follows:
Work 1 stitch in garter stitch, knit 3, purl 2, knit 3, 1 stitch in garter stitch, cast off the next (0) 5-5-5-5 (5-5) stitches, work 1 stitch in garter stitch, knit 3, purl 2, knit 3 and 1 stitch in garter stitch = 10 stitches left for each shoulder strap.
SHOULDER STRAP:
Continue with rib and 1 edge stitch in garter stitch on each side, back and forth until the strap measures approx. 18-24 cm (or to desired length). Cast off and repeat on the other side.
FRONT PIECE:
= (37) 42-47-47-52 (57-62) stitches. Continue back and forth with rib and 2 edge stitches in garter stitch on each side until the piece measures (4) 6-7-9-10 (11-12) cm, work 2 buttonholes from the right side as follows:
Work 2 stitches in garter stitch, knit 3, purl 2, knit 2 together, 1 yarn over, work as before until there are 10 stitches left, knit 2 together, 1 yarn over, knit 1, purl 2, knit 3, 2 stitches in garter stitch.
When the piece measures (5) 7-8-10-11 (12-13) cm, change to circular needle size 2.5 mm and work 2 ridges over all stitches. Cast off.
ASSEMBLY:
Sew together the stitches in the crutch. Sew 1 button on each strap.

Buonasera. Parlate di Ferri a doppia punta all inizio della gambina. Ma mi sembra di capire che devo lavorare in tondo. Sbaglio?

Buonasera Ilona, si, corretto, si lavora in tondo. Buon lavoro!
03.08.2023 kl. 20:26Hi, ich bin mit der Erhöhung fertig. Für mich ist unklar, wann die Teilung in Vorder- und Rückseite erfolgt. In einem Kommentar von 2020 steht, dass dies am Ende vom Abschnitt "Hose" erklärt wird, dieser Teil scheint aber nicht mehr in der Anleitung so vorhanden zu sein. Vielen Dank!

Liebe Lisa, wenn alle verkürzten Reihen fertig sind, stricken Sie 1 Reihe bis Anfang der Runde. Dann stricken Sie 1 Runde mit Zu- oder Abnahmen (siehe Größe) und dann wird der Anfang der Runde verschoben, so daß Vorderteil und Rückenteil richtig passen; stricken Sie dann 4 cm Rippenmuster und dann wird die Arbeit für Vorder- und Rückenteil verteilt. Viel Spaß beim stricken!
15.05.2023 kl. 09:00When increasing the stitch on the legs, does the marker stay where it is after the increase or move to back to the beginning of the round?
28.04.2023 - 12:07DROPS Design answered:
Dear Kristina, you work 1 yarn over before the last stitch on the round and after the first stitch in the round, so you shouldn't move the marker; otherwise the next increases would be misaligned. Only move the marker when it specifies so, later in the paragraph. Happy knitting!
30.04.2023 kl. 21:50Beste, Wat een ontzettend leuk patroon en fijne uitleg! Enkel aan het einde kom ik er niet uit. Bij het afkanten van het voorpand na twee ribbels, loopt het voorpand heel breed uit. Dit is natuurlijk doordat het hele deel ervoor in boordsteek is gebreid, maar bij het dragen blijft dit bovenste deel ‘flubberig’. Is het mogelijk om dmv minderen dit laatste deel (twee ribbels en afkanten) beter aan te laten sluiten op de rest van het voorpand? Met hartelijke groet!
17.03.2023 - 15:52DROPS Design answered:
Dag Fleur,
Wat je zou kunnen doen is steken minderen vlak voordat je de ribbels gaat breien. Bijvoorbeeld alle 2 averechte steken samenbreien. Het kan ook helpen om de bovenkant een beetje op te persen. Dit doe je door een natte theedoek erover te leggen en zeer voorzichtig te deppen op dat gebied. Let erop dat je dit heel voorzichtig doet, anders verniel je de structuur van het breiwerk.
19.03.2023 kl. 16:51Ich habe eine Frage bzgl. Der Knopflöcher. Muss ich nur eine Reihe mit Umschlag und Zusammenstricken machen? Oder mehrere? Und nur in der Hinreise jeweils? Wie Stricke ich dann in der Rückreihe? Was mache ich dann mit dem Umschlag? Danke für eine kurze Antwort.
12.03.2023 - 21:23DROPS Design answered:
Liebe Emma, dieses Video zeigt, wie man so ein Knopfloch strickt (2 M rechts zusammen, 1 Umschlag), bei der Rückreihe stricken Sie die Maschen wie zuvor, Umschläge stricken Sie in der vordere Maschenglied, damit ein Loch ensteht. Viel Spaß beim stricken!
13.03.2023 kl. 10:26Hi. Nachdem ich die 5 cm Bündchen der Hosenbeine gestrickt habe, soll rechts gestrickt werden. Nun stellt sich mir die Frage nach 10 cm soll zugenommen werden. Sind die 5 cm des Bündchens in den 5 cm enthalten, oder erst nach 10 cm glatt rechts gestrickt?
22.02.2023 - 21:02DROPS Design answered:
Liebe Gaby, die 10 cm messen Sie ab der Anschlagskante, dh mit den Bündchen. Viel Spaß beim stricken!
23.02.2023 kl. 14:43Worden in dit patroon de pijpen van de broek wel heen en weer gebreid? Ik kan daar geen wijs uit. Later worden de pijpen samengevoegd en ga je verder op de rondbreinaald. Maar dan moeten de pijpen toch aan de binnenkant dichtgenaaid moeten worden? Ik lees dat nergens terug.
26.01.2023 - 22:21DROPS Design answered:
Dag Marion,
De pijpen worden inderdaad in de rondte gebreid (op breinaalden zonder knop)
29.01.2023 kl. 18:37Hallo, wozu strickt man die Erhöhung? Ist diese Notwendig? Liebe Grüße Leni :)

Liebe Leni,diese Erhöhung gibt eine Bequemlichkeit für die Windeln - Viel Spaß beim stricken!
03.11.2022 kl. 10:46Hello, at the end of the pants part and starting on the back panel it says at the end of the pants part you will have 13 stitches, but at the start of the back panel, you are supposed to have 25 stitches. How come? where do the extra stitches come from?
14.05.2022 - 11:30DROPS Design answered:
Dear Amanda, at the end of the pants, you have a total of 13 (2+3+2+3+1+2) + 33 or 38 or... + 2 + 1 + 8 or 13 .... stitches. Since you start the round in the mid back, the first 11 stitches worked at the end of the pants and the last 14 sts are all part of the back. Happy knitting!
15.05.2022 kl. 23:55Hello I dont understand where the elevation is supposed to start?
12.05.2022 - 21:55DROPS Design answered:
Hi Amanda, Start the instructions for the elevation at the beginning of the round = mid-back. Happy knitting!
