------------------------------------------------------- EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN: ------------------------------------------------------- RIDGE/GARTER STITCH (worked back and forth): Knit all rows. 1 ridge in height = Knit 2 rows. PATTERN: Diagrams A.1 to A.3 – choose diagram for your size. The whole of diagram A.1 is worked in stockinette stitch. The diagrams show all rows in the pattern from the right side. When working with 2 colors, work with more than 1 strand of each color to avoid long strands on the wrong side. You can use the strand from both the inside and outside of the ball. I.e. the first part of A.1 is knitted with 5 threads (1 thread hazelnut, 1 thread light beige, 1 thread hazelnut, 1 thread light beige, 1 thread hazelnut), the rest of A.1 is knitted with 3 threads ( 1 thread hazelnut, 1 thread light beige, 1 thread hazelnut) NOTE: To avoid holes when changing color, twist the 2 strands together. Diagrams A.2 and A.3 show how the ears are sewn with duplicate stitches. INCREASE TIP: All increases are worked from the right side! Increase 1 stitch after marker 1, work until there is 1 stitch left before markers 2, 3 and 4, 1 yarn over, work 2 stitches (markers sit between these 2 stitches), 1 yarn over and increase 1 stitch before marker 5 (= 8 stitches increased). Increase by making 1 yarn over, which is worked twisted on the next row to avoid holes. DECREASE TIP (for sleeves): 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 and pass the slipped stitch over the knitted stitch (= 2 stitches decreased). BINDING-OFF TIP: To avoid the bind-off edge being tight you can bind off with a larger size needle. If the edge is still tight, make 1 yarn over after approx. each 4th stitch at the same time as binding off and the yarn overs are bind off as normal stitches. ------------------------------------------------------- START THE PIECE HERE: ------------------------------------------------------- SWEATER – SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE: The piece is worked top down. The yoke is worked back and forth with circular needle, before it is divided for sleeves and body. The body is continued back and forth with circular needle. The sleeves are worked in the round with double pointed needles. YOKE: Cast on 56-60-60 (68-72-72-76) stitches (including 1 edge stitch on each side) with circular needle size 3.5 mm = US 4 and hazelnut. Purl 1 row from the wrong side. Then work rib as follows: Work 1 edge stitch in GARTER STITCH – read description above, * knit 2, purl 2 *, work from *-* until there are 3 stitches left, knit 2 and 1 edge stitch in garter stitch. When the rib measures 1½ to 2 cm = ½" to ¾", change to circular needle size 4.5 mm = US 7. Insert 5 markers in the piece and increase evenly from the right side as follows: Work 1 edge stitch in garter stitch, knit 1, insert marker 1, knit 7 and increase 2-4-2 (2-2-2-2) stitches evenly, insert marker 2 (= left sleeve), knit 21-23-23 (27-29-29-31) and increase 2-2-2 (1-1-2-1) stitches evenly, insert marker 3 (= back piece), knit 8 and increase 2-4-2 (2-2-2-2) stitches evenly, insert marker 4 (= right sleeve), knit 16-18-18 (22-24-24-26) and increase 2-2-2 (1-1-2-1) stitches evenly, insert marker 5, knit 1 and finish with 1 edge stitch in garter stitch = 64-72-68 (74-78-80-82) stitches. Continue with stockinette stitch and 1 edge stitch in garter stitch on each side and increase to raglan on each row from the right side as follows: Increase at each marker – read INCREASE TIP, a total of 13-14-15 (16-17-18-19) times = 168-184-188 (202-214-224-234) stitches. REMEMBER THE KNITTING GAUGE! Work until the piece measures 12-13-15 (16-17-18-19) cm = 4¾"-5⅛"-6" (6¼"-6¾"-7"-7½") from the cast-on edge. Now divide the piece for body and sleeves on the next row from the right side as follows: Work 1 stitch in garter stitch, place the next 36-40-40 (42-44-46-48) stitches on 1 thread for the sleeve and cast on 4-4-6 (6-6-6-6) stitches under the sleeve, knit 49-53-55 (60-64-67-70) stitches (= back piece), place the next 36-40-40 (42-44-46-48) stitches on 1 thread for the sleeve and cast on 4-4-6 (6-6-6-6) stitches under the sleeve, knit 45-49-51 (56-60-63-66) stitches, 1 stitch in garter stitch and cast on 4-4-4 (4-4-4-5) stitches at the end of the row = 108-116-124 (134-142-148-155) stitches. BODY: Continue back and forth with stockinette stitch and 1 edge stitch in garter stitch on each side until the piece measures 0-0-0 (0-1-2-3) cm = 0"-0"-0" (0"-⅜"-¾"-1⅛") from the division. Now work A.1 on the front piece as follows: Work 1 edge stitch in garter stitch, stockinette stitch over 62-68-72 (76-82-84-89) stitches, A.1 (= 35-35-39 (46-46-51-51) stitches), stockinette stitch over 9-11-11 (10-12-11-13) stitches and 1 edge stitch in garter stitch. Continue this pattern. When A.1 has been worked 1 time in height, finish the piece with hazelnut. Work stockinette stitch with 1 edge stitch in garter stitch on each side until the piece measures 12-13-14 (17-20-22-25) cm = 4¾"-5⅛"-5½" (6¾"-8"-8¾"-9¾") from the division. On the next row from the right side increase 2-2-2 (0-0-2-3) stitches evenly spaced = 110-118-126 (134-142-150-158) stitches. Change to circular needle size 3.5 mm = US 4. On the next row from the right side work rib as follows: 1 edge stitch in garter stitch, * knit 2, purl 2 *, work from *-* until there is 1 stitch left and finish with 1 edge stitch in garter stitch. Bind off with knit from the right side when the rib measures 3 cm = 1⅛" – read BINDING-OFF TIP. The sweater measures approx. 28-30-33 (36-40-44-48) cm = 11"-11¾"-13" (14¼"-15¾"-17¼"-19") from the shoulder down. SLEEVE: Place the 36-40-40 (42-44-46-48) stitches from the thread on the one side of the piece on double pointed needles size 4.5 mm = US 7 and knit up 1 stitch in each of the 4-4-6 (6-6-6-6) stitches cast on under the sleeve = 40-44-46 (48-50-52-54) stitches. Insert 1 marker in the middle of the 4-4-6 (6-6-6-6) stitches under the sleeve. Allow the marker to follow your work onwards; it will be used when decreasing under the sleeve. Work stockinette stitch in the round. When the sleeve measures 2 cm = ¾" from the division decrease 1 stitch on each side of the marker – read DECREASE TIP! Decrease like this every 2-2-1½ (2½-3½-4-5) cm = ¾"-¾"-½" (7/8"-1¼"-1½"-2") a total of 3-4-5 (5-5-5-5) times = 34-36-36 (38-40-42-44) stitches. When the sleeve measures 10-12-13 (16-21-25-28) cm = 4"-4¾"-5 1/8 (6¼"-8¼"-9¾"-11") from the division decrease 2-0-0 (2-0-2-0) stitches evenly spaced = 32-36-36 (36-40-40-44) stitches. Change to double pointed needles size 3.5 mm = US 4 and work rib (= knit 2, purl 2). Bind off with knit when the rib measures 3 cm = 1⅛". Work the other sleeve in the same way. RAGLAN-BAND: Knit up from the right side approx. 28 to 36 stitches (divisible by 4) inside the 1 edge stitch along the sleeve’s raglan-opening with circular needle size 3.5 mm = US 4 and hazelnut. Work rib (= knit 2, purl 2) with 1 edge stitch in garter stitch and 2 knitted stitches on each side (seen from the right side). When the band measures 2 cm = ¾", bind off with knit over knit and purl over purl. Repeat along the raglan-opening on the front piece but when the band measures 1 cm = ⅜" work 4 buttonholes evenly spaced. 1 buttonhole = purl 2 together in the purled section, (seen from the right side) and make 1 yarn over. ASSEMBLY: Sew the side seam inside the 1 edge stitch. Embroider the fox’s eyes and nose on the front piece using black. The ears are sewn using duplicate stitches and light beige, according to diagrams A.2 and A.3. The stitches are sewn top down. The stitch with the arrow and a star in diagrams A.2 and A.3, is sewn approx. 2 rows above the stitch with the arrow and a star in A.1. Sew the bands at the bottom of the raglan-openings (this is where the body starts) – the band on the front piece should lie over the band on the sleeve. Sew buttons onto the band on the sleeve. |

Für den Little-Fox-Pullover werden die Farben Haselnuss, hellbeige und schwarz empfohlen. Entspricht die Farbe "heller Nebel" der Farbe hellbeige? Sieht in der Abbildung nicht so aus. Mit freundlichen Grüßen C

Hi there, First of all: This sweater is really adorable! I just wonder: The pattern/ instruction says to embroider the ears, but that's not what I see in the pictures. Or am I wrong about that? Is there a way to knit the ears instead? Or is there a good reason not to? Many thanks in advance!
17.02.2021 - 18:57DROPS Design answered:
Dear Noortje, There is no particular reason not to knit the ears as intarsia, except that it is a relatively small piece and many find it easier to embroider it. But if you prefer knitted it with intarsia, then go ahead. Happy Knitting!

Hvorfor er det så svært at finde strikkeopskrifter der er strikkede nedefra og op.
17.01.2021 - 14:48DROPS Design answered:
Hei Susanne. Mange av våre nye oppskrifter er strikket ovenifra og ned, men om du ser på modeller fra DROPS Baby katalog nr 21 og nedover og DROPS Children nr. 30 og nedover finner du mange oppskrifter der det er skrevet nedenifra og opp. mvh DROPS design

Bonjour à tous, je ne comprends pas pourquoi il faut monter des mailles ( 4 à 6 ) en fin de rang lorsque l’on rassemble les du corps ( dos et devant ) étant donné que nous avons déjà monté des mailles sous la manche. Merci beaucoup
12.01.2021 - 08:55DROPS Design answered:
Bonjour Jacqueline, ces 4-4-4 (4-4-4-5) mailles sont celles qui vont se trouver sous la bordure d'ouverture du raglan - pour le dessous des manches, on monte 4-4-6 (6-6-6-6) mailles. Bon tricot!

Hello Anna here. When do you start the raglan band that you mention at the end of your instructions? I am assuming it is before you knit the sleeves but getting a little confused here :)
29.12.2020 - 09:21DROPS Design answered:
Dear Anna! Raglan bands are knitted after sleeves. Happy knitting!

Hallo. Leuk patroon! Na de mouwen, kan ik het lijf (met het deel waar de vos komt) ook rondbreien in plaats van heen en weer?
22.12.2020 - 16:09DROPS Design answered:
Dag Sas,
Jazeker dat kan. Je breit dan het voor en achterpand samen in de rondte en je hebt dan geen kantsteken nodig aan beide zijkanten van beide panden.

Gracias 😉

Hola Ana. Los puntos de orillo están incluidos en los puntos totales, no los tienes que añadir. Comenzar con 60 puntos y seguir según el patrón.

Ciao a tutti..Sono alla fase bordo del Raglan.. Dopo aver ripreso le maglie sul dritto davanti e lavorato 1 cm a coste mi dice di lavorare 4 asole in modo uniforme. Come lavoro il ferro di ritorno? Devo fare direttamente la chiusura intrecciando le maglie? Grazie
11.12.2020 - 09:58DROPS Design answered:
Buongiorno Claudia, deve continuare a lavorare il bordo fino ai 2 cm poi lo chiude. Buon lavoro!
