EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN:
-------------------------------------------------------
MOSS STITCH (worked in the round):
Round 1: * Knit 1, purl 1 *, work from *-*.
Round 2: Knit over purl and purl over knit.
Repeat round 2 onwards.
INCREASE TIP (evenly spaced):
To work out how to increase evenly, count the total number of stitches on the needle (e.g. 121 stitches) and divide by the number of increases to be made (e.g. 15) = 8.1.
In this example, increase by making 1 yarn over after approx. each 8th stitch. On the next round knit the yarn overs twisted to avoid holes.
PATTERN:
See diagram A.1. Choose diagram for your size.
RAGLAN:
Increase to raglan on each side of the 4 markers, in the transitions between body and sleeves, as follows: Start 1 stitch left before marker, 1 yarn over, knit 2 (marker sits between these 2 stitches), 1 yarn over (= 2 stitches increased). On the next round knit the yarn overs twisted to avoid holes.
DECREASE TIP (for body):
Start 4 stitches before the marker, knit 2 together, knit 4 (marker thread sits between these 4 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.

TOP – SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE:
The neck and yoke are worked in the round with circular needle, top down. The yoke is divided for body and sleeves and the body is continued in the round. The sleeve edges are worked in the round with double pointed needles/short circular needle.
NECK:
Cast on 121-125-129-135-145-149 stitches with short circular needle size 3.5 mm = US 4 and Muskat. Knit 1 round then work MOSS STITCH – read description above - for 2 cm = 3/4”. Knit 1 round where you increase 15-19-23-17-15-19 stitches evenly spaced – read INCREASE TIP = 136-144-152-152-160-168 stitches. Change to circular needle size 4 mm = US 6 and knit 1 round.
YOKE:
Work A.1 in the round (= 17-18-19-19-20-21 repeats of 8 stitches).
REMEMBER THE KNITTING GAUGE!
When A.1 has been completed there are 204-216-228-228-240-252 stitches on the needle and the piece measures approx. 10-10-10-11-11-11 cm = 4”-4”-4”-4 3/8”-4 3/8”-4 3/8” from the cast-on edge.
Now insert 4 markers in the piece for the raglan as follows (without working the stitches): The first marker is inserted after the first 31-32-34-36-39-43 stitches (= ½ back piece), 2nd marker is inserted after the next 40-44-46-42-42-40 stitches (= sleeve), 3rd marker is inserted after the next 62-64-68-72-78-86 stitches (= front piece) and the 4th marker is inserted after the next 40-44-46-42-42-40 stitches (= sleeve). There are 31-32-34-36-39-43 stitches after the last marker (= half back piece).
Work stockinette stitch in the round. AT THE SAME TIME on the first round increase to RAGLAN – see description above (= 8 stitches increased). Increase like this every 2nd round a total of 0-3-5-11-11-12 times and then every 4th round a total of 6-6-6-4-5-6 times.
After the final increase to raglan there are 252-288-316-348-368-396 stitches on the needle. Knit 1 round where you increase 4-4-0-0-4-0 stitches evenly spaced = 256-292-316-348-372-396 stitches.
Continue working until the piece measures 19-21-23-25-27-29 cm = 7 1/2”-8 1/4”-9”-9 3/4”-10 5/8”-11 3/8” from the cast-on edge.
The next round is worked as follows: Work 38-42-45-51-56-61 stitches in stockinette stitch (= ½ back piece), place the next 52-62-68-72-74-76 stitches on 1 thread for the sleeve, cast on 8-8-10-10-12-14 new stitches on the needle (= in side under the sleeve), work 76-84-90-102-112-122 stitches in stockinette stitch (= front piece), place the next 52-62-68-72-74-76 stitches on 1 thread for the sleeve, cast on 8-8-10-10-12-14 new stitches on the needle (= in side under the sleeve) and work the remaining 38-42-45-51-56-61 stitches in stockinette stitch (= ½ back piece). Body and sleeves are finished separately; all markers can now be removed.
THE PIECE IS NOW MEASURED FROM HERE!
BODY:
= 168-184-200-224-248-272 stitches. Insert 1 new marker in the middle of the 8-8-10-10-12-14 stitches cast on under each sleeve = 84-92-100-112-124-136 stitches on each side of the markers. Work stockinette stitch in the round. When the piece measures 2 cm = 3/4” from the division decrease 1 stitch on each side of both markers – read DECREASE TIP (= 4 stitches decreased).
Decrease like this every 2 cm = 3/4” a total of 4 times on each side = 152-168-184-208-232-256 stitches.
Continue with stockinette stitch until the piece measures 16 cm = 6 1/4” from the division. Change to circular needle size 3.5 mm = US 4. Work 1 round with moss stitch and decrease at the same time 1 stitch on the round = 151-167-183-207-231-255 stitches. Continue with moss stitch for 3 cm = 1 1/8”.
Bind off with knit over purl and purl over knit – read BINDING-OFF TIP in explanations above. The piece measures approx. 38-40-42-44-46-48 cm = 15”-15 3/4”-16 1/2”-17 1/4”-18”-19” from the shoulder down.
SLEEVE:
Place the 52-62-68-72-74-76 stitches from the thread on the one side of the piece onto double pointed needles size 3.5 mm = US 4 and knit up 1 stitch in each of the 8-8-10-10-12-14 stitches cast on under the sleeve = 60-70-78-82-86-90 stitches.
Knit 1 round and decrease at the same time 1 stitch on this round = 59-69-77-81-85-89 stitches. Work moss stitch in the round for 3 cm = 1 1/8”.
Bind off with knit over purl and purl over knit.
Work the other sleeve in the same way.

Why cast on odd number of stitches....when moss pattern is done in even number stitches ? then we have at the beginning and end of round same stitch...?
19.07.2023 - 04:09DROPS Design answered:
Hi, you are right. I have already sent a correction for the pattern. Please work like this: 'Cast on 120-124-128-134-144-148 stitches with short circular needle size 3.5 mm and Muskat. Knit 1 round then work MOSS STITCH – read description above - for 2 cm. Knit 1 round where you increase 16-20-24-18-16-20 stitches evenly spaced ...' Then you work according to the pattern. Happy knitting!
19.07.2023 kl. 11:29Hola, ya casi tengo terminado este diseño y me gustaría saber que truco hay para que el punto de arroz en el elástico no se quede como girado, al ser en circular, las vueltas parecen que están torcidas en vez de quedar como en el canesú que se ven derechas. A mí por lo menos cuando los empiezo desde arriba al final la labor se me queda un poco girada. Saludos, Montse.
09.06.2023 - 16:17DROPS Design answered:
Hola Montserrat, no deberían de quedar girados. Por ejemplo, podría ser un problema con la tensión del tejido. Si has usado la aguja adecuada y la tensión correcta no debería girarse. Si puedes explicar de forma más específica cómo ha quedado el tejido podemos intentar aclararlo más. También puedes colgar una foto de la labor en el grupo de DROPS en Facebook, dónde otras usuarias podrán darte más consejos a partir de la foro.

05.03.2023 - 12:23DROPS Design answered:
Hej Agneta. Du ska inte sticka omslagen i A.1 vridna, det ska bli hålmönster av de. Omslagen som du gör vid raglan-ökningarna ska däremot stickas vridna på nästa varv. Mvh DROPS Design
07.03.2023 kl. 14:02It’s my first time to follow a diagram so I’m not sure what to do. Does it start from the beginning of the round? And do you have a video tutorial for the diagram or uploaded one that is close to it that I can follow? Thanks!
29.11.2022 - 23:24DROPS Design answered:
Hi Vern, Yes, you start the pattern at the beginning of the round and work the pattern from bottom right, working left and upwards. Here is a link which might be helpful: https://www.garnstudio.com/video.php?id=1468&lang=en Happy knitting!
30.11.2022 kl. 07:58I tried the pattern A1. But did not get the same look as shown in the picture. Is the alternate rows Purl instead of knit ?. This would help achieve the stockinette look
08.08.2022 - 07:33DROPS Design answered:
Dear Joyce, start reading diagrams from the bottom corner on the right side and read from the right towards the left on every round (pattern is worked in the round, all rounds will be knitted). Hope it can help. Happy knitting!

18.05.2022 - 07:13DROPS Design answered:
Bonjour Annick, tricotez cette maille comme les autres (cf ci-dessous), cette leçon pourra vous aider à comprendre ces augmentations à intervalles réguliers. Bon tricot!
18.05.2022 kl. 08:23Merci pour votre réponse.. juste une petite précision... qu'est-ce que je fais de la 9eme maille ..je continue à la tricoter à l'endroit où je tricote la 8eme et 9eme ensemble..?? Merci de m'éclairer si possible
17.05.2022 - 19:35DROPS Design answered:
Bonjour Annick, vous la tricotez tout simplement, si vous la diminuez, vous n'aurez pas le bon nombre de mailles. Bon tricot!
18.05.2022 kl. 08:15Bonjour J'ai monté 121 mailles et augmenté 15 mailles soit 121:15= 8 et reste 1 m. Que dois-je faire de cette maille?? Merci pour votre conseil
16.05.2022 - 16:57DROPS Design answered:
Bonjour Annick, c'est l'exemple que vous retrouverez sous AUGMENTATIONS au tout début des explications, autrement dit, vous faites 1 jeté après environ chaque 8ème maille, vous terminerez par 9 mailles, mais vos augmentations seront réparties à intervalles réguliers. Bon tricot!
