I'm about to start the sleeve increases on Galcier Waters. Do I make the increases after the first stitch of the shoulder piece and before the last stitch of them. If I increase immediiatelly after marker 1 and 3, and before 2 and 4, the increase is directly beside the increases for the yoke. So I'm not able to figure out how to differentiate between yoke and sleeve increases. Thank you.

Dear Carmel, you first work the saddle shoulder increases. Then, after these are finished, start with the sleeve increases, positioned as indicated in the pattern. Then, after finishing the increases for the sleeves, start with the yoke increases. You increase 1 stitch BEFORE markers 1 and 3 for the saddle shoulders and yoke and AFTER markers 1 and 3 for the sleeves. In the case of markers 2 and 4, you increase AFTER these for the saddle shoulders and yoke and BEFORE them for the sleeves. Happy knitting!

Beim Stricken des "Rumpfteiles" steht :" Bei einer Länge von 23 cm ab der Teilung 1 Runde rechts stricken und dabei gleichzeitig 40 Maschen gleichmäßig verteilt zunehmen = 208-224-240-260-284-308 Maschen. Zu Rundnadel Nr. 3,5 wechseln und 7 cm in Runden im Rippenmuster stricken." Das würde ja bedeuten, dass der Pulli vorm Bündchen WEITER wird, kann das denn sein??? Normalerweise ist das Bündchen doch enger, als das Rumpfteil mfg Sandra Faber

Liebe Frau Faber, hier wird das Bündchen nicht enger, so wird man zuerst zunehmen dann das Bündchen mit den kleineren Nadeln stricken. Viel Spaß beim stricken!

Wissen Sie, was total toll wäre? Wenn sie eine schriftliche Anleitung erstellen könnten, wie man einen Pullover mit Sattelschulter selbst berechnen kann. Welche Maße muss man wissen, um selbst berechnen zu können, wie und wo man welche Zunahmen macht? Es gibt dazu nirgends im Netz etwas zu finden. Klar kann man stur der Anleitung folgen, aber es wäre echt schön, wenn man fähig wäre, Modelle die nicht ganz passen, selbst abzuändern. Ist so etwas denn geplant oder bereits vorhanden?

Hej, jag undrar om rundstickorna ska vara 40 eller 80 cm lång, båda måtten står i beskrivningen. Tack!
28.01.2023 - 20:55DROPS Design answered:
Hei Rebecka Du trenger begge lengdene, både 40 cm og 80 cm. Du starter med 40 cm og når du har nok masker/økt masker, kan du bytte til 80 cm. mvh DROPS Design

Hello! When do you change from 16" needles to 32" needles? Thank you!
22.01.2022 - 19:20DROPS Design answered:
Dear Sara, you start working in the round with the shorter needles. When you start feeling uncomfortable when working, due to the high amount of stitches, you change to the longer needles. Happy knitting!

Knitted jumper with saddle shoulders in DROPS Lima or DROPS Soft Tweed. The piece is worked top down. Sizes S - XXXL.
DROPS 216-9 |

------------------------------------------------------- EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN: ------------------------------------------------------- INCREASE TIP-1 (evenly spaced): To work out how to increase evenly, count the total number of stitches on the needle (e.g. 96 stitches) and divide by the number of increases to be made (e.g. 12) = 8. In this example, increase by making 1 yarn over after each 8th stitch. On the next round work the yarn overs twisted to avoid holes. INCREASE TIP-2: BEFORE MARKER: The new stitch will be twisted, leaning towards the right. Use left needle to pick up strand between 2 stitches from the row below, pick up strand from behind and knit stitch in front loop. AFTER MARKER: The new stitch will be twisted, leaning towards the left. Use left needle to pick up strand between 2 stitches from the row below, pick up strand from the front and knit stitch in back loop. DECREASE TIP (for body and sleeves): Decrease 1 stitch on either side of the marker thread as follows: Work until there are 3 stitches left before the marker thread, knit 2 together, knit 2 (marker thread sits between these 2 stitches), slip 1 stitch as if to knit, knit 1 and pass the slipped stitch over the knitted stitch. CASTING-OFF TIP: To avoid the cast-off edge being tight you can cast 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 casting off; the yarn overs are cast off as normal stitches. ------------------------------------------------------- START THE PIECE HERE: ------------------------------------------------------- JUMPER – SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE: The neck and yoke are worked in the round with circular needle, top down. Stiches are increased for the shoulders, then for the sleeves. The yoke is divided for body and sleeves and the body is continued in the round with circular needle. The sleeves are worked with double pointed needles, top down. NECK: Cast on 92-96-100-108-112-116 stitches with circular needle size 3.5 mm and Lima. Knit 1 round. Then work rib (= knit 2. purl 2) in the round for 8½ cm. Knit 1 round where you increase 12-12-20-20-24-28 stitches evenly spaced – read INCREASE TIP-1 = 104-108-120-128-136-144 stitches. Change to circular needle size 4.5 mm. Insert a marker at the beginning of the round (mid-back). THE PIECE IS NOW MEASURED FROM HERE! YOKE: Insert 4 markers in the piece, without working the stitches and between the stitches, as follows: Count 18-19-20-22-22-24 stitches (= half back piece), insert marker 1, count 16-16-20-20-24-24 stitches (= shoulder), insert marker 2, count 36-38-40-44-44-48 stitches (= front piece), insert marker 3, count 16-16-20-20-24-24 stitches (= shoulder), insert marker 4, there are 18-19-20-22-22-24 stitches left after the last marker (= half back piece). SADDLE SHOULDER INCREASE: Continue with stocking stitch and increase on the shoulders as follows: Increase 1 stitch BEFORE markers 1 and 3 and AFTER markers 2 and 4 – read INCREASE TIP-2 (=4 stitches increased); there are increases on back piece and front piece, number of shoulder stitches remain the same. The increased stitches are worked in stocking stitch. Increase like this every round a total of 21-21-24-24-26-26 times = 188-192-216-224-240-248 stitches. The piece measures approx. 8-8-9-9-10-10 cm from the marker on the neck. REMEMBER THE KNITTING TENSION! SLEEVE INCREASES: Now increase for the sleeves as follows: Increase 1 stitch AFTER markers 1 and 3 and BEFORE markers 2 and 4 (= 4 stitches increased). There are only increases on shoulder stitches and number of stitches on front piece and back piece remains the same. Number of shoulder stitches increases. Increase like this every 2nd round a total of 17-18-18-17-17-17 times = 256-264-288-292-308-316 stitches. The piece measures approx. 21-22-23-22-23-23 cm from the neck. If your measurements are shorter, continue with stocking stitch without increasing until the piece measures 21-22-23-22-23-23 cm. YOKE INCREASE: Now increase 1 stitch on each side of all markers as follows: Work until there is 1 stitch left before markers 1 and 3, increase 1 stitch BEFORE these markers, work 1 stitch, move the marker onto the right needle and increase 1 stitch AFTER these markers. Work to markers 2 and 4, increase 1 stitch BEFORE these markers, move the marker onto the right needle, work 1 stitch and increase 1 stitch AFTER these markers – remember INCREASE TIP-2 (= a total of 8 stitches increased). Increase like this every 2nd round a total of 4-5-6-10-11-14 times = 288-304-336-372-396-428 stitches. When all the increases are finished, the piece measures approx. 24-26-28-30-32-34 cm from the neck. Divide the piece for body and sleeves on the next round as follows: Work the first 42-45-49-54-59-65 stitches (half back piece), place the next 60-62-70-78-80-84 stitches on a thread for the sleeve, cast on 8-10-10-10-12-12 stitches under the sleeve, work 84-90-98-108-118-130 stitches (= front piece), place the next 60-62-70-78-80-84 stitches on a thread for the sleeve, cast on 8-10-10-10-12-12 stitches under the sleeve, work the last 42-45-49-54-59-65 stitches (= half back piece). Body and sleeves are finished separately. BODY: = 184-200-216-236-260-284 stitches. Insert 1 marker in the middle of the 8-10-10-10-12-12 stitches cast on under each sleeve; these will be used when decreasing in the sides. Work stocking stitch in the round. When the piece measures 4 cm from the division, decrease 1 stitch on each side of both markers – read DECREASE TIP (= 4 stitches decreased). Decrease like this every 5 cm a total of 4 times = 168-184-200-220-244-268 stitches. When the piece measures 23 cm from the division, knit 1 round where you increase 40 stitches evenly spaced = 208-224-240-260-284-308 stitches. Change to circular needle size 3.5 mm and work rib (= knit 2, purl 2) for 7 cm. Cast off with knit over knit and purl over purl – read CASTING OFF TIP! SLEEVE: Place the 60-62-70-78-80-84 stitches from the thread on the one side of the piece on double pointed needles size 4.5 mm and knit up 1 stitch in each of the 8-10-10-10-12-12 stitches cast on under the sleeve = 68-72-80-88-92-96 stitches. Insert a marker thread in the middle of the 8-10-10-10-12-12 stitches under the sleeve; you will decrease stitches either side of this marker. Work stocking stitch in the round. When the piece measures 3 cm from the division, decrease 1 stitch on each side of the marker thread – remember DECREASE TIP. Decrease like this every 6-5-3-2-2-1½ cm a total of 5-6-9-12-13-14 times = 58-60-62-64-66-68 stitches. Continue working until the sleeve measures 33-32-31-30-29-28 cm from the division. Knit 1 round where you increase 18-16-18-16-18-16 stitches evenly spaced = 76-76-80-80-84-84 stitches. Change to double pointed needles size 3.5 mm and work rib (= knit 2, purl 2) for 5 cm. Cast off with knit over knit and purl over purl – remember CASTING-OFF TIP. Work the other sleeve in the same way. ASSEMBLY: Fold the neck to the inside and sew down. To avoid the neck being tight and rolling outwards, it is important that the seam is elastic. |
