EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN:
-------------------------------------------------------
INCREASE TIP (evenly spaced):
To work out how to increase evenly, count the total number of stitches on the needle (e.g. 92 stitches) and divide by the number of increases to be made (e.g. 30) = 3.1.
In this example, increase by making 1 yarn over after each 3rd stitch. On the next round knit the yarn overs twisted to avoid holes.
PATTERN:
See diagrams A.1 and A.2. Choose diagram for your size. The whole pattern is worked in stockinette stitch.
KNITTING TIP:
To avoid the knitting gauge becoming tighter when working pattern, it is important that the strands at the back are not tight. Use a size larger needle when working pattern if this is a problem.
If the knitting gauge is too tight in height, the garment will be short and the armholes too small – you can correct this by regularly working an extra round in the one-colored sections.
If your work is loose, the garment will be long and the armholes too big – you can correct this by regularly working one less round in the one-colored sections.
ELEVATION (back of neck):
So the sweater is slightly higher at the back of the neck when working a round yoke, you can work an elevation as described here. Skip this section if you do not want an elevation.
Insert 1 marker at the beginning of the round (mid-back). Start from the right side with maroon and knit 15-15-16-16-17-17 stitches, turn, tighten strand and purl 30-30-32-32-34-34 stitches back. Turn, tighten strand and knit 45-45-48-48-51-51 stitches, turn, tighten strand and purl 60-60-64-64-68-68 stitches back. Turn, tighten strand and knit 75-75-80-80-85-85 stitches, turn, tighten strand and purl 90-90-96-96-102-102 stitches back. Turn tighten the strand and knit to mid-back. Then work YOKE as described in the text.
DECREASE TIP (for mid under sleeve):
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 (= 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; the yarn overs are bind off as normal stitches.
-------------------------------------------------------
START THE PIECE HERE:
-------------------------------------------------------
SWEATER – SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE:
The neck and yoke are worked in the round with circular needle, top down from mid back. The yoke is divided for body and sleeves and the body continued in the round with circular needle. The sleeves are worked in the round with short circular needle/double pointed needles, top down.
NECK:
Cast on 92-96-100-104-108-112 stitches with short circular needle size 3.5 mm = US 4 and maroon. Knit 1 round, then work rib in the round (= knit 1, purl 1) for 4 cm = 1 1/2”.
Knit 1 round where you increase 30-32-34-34-36-38 stitches evenly spaced – read INCREASE TIP = 122-128-134-138-144-150 stitches.
Change to circular needle size 4.5 mm = US 7 and knit 1 round (yarn overs knitted twisted).
Insert 1 marker in the middle of the round (= mid-front), the yoke is measured from this marker!!
You can now work an ELEVATION at the back of the neck – read description above. If you do not want an elevation, go straight to YOKE.
YOKE:
Work 0-4-4-6-6-6 rounds with stockinette stitch and maroon. Then work pattern AT THE SAME TIME as you increase stitches as described below.
Read KNITTING TIP and work A.1 (when A.1 has been completed in height, work A.2 in the same way).
On each round marked with an arrow in A.1 and A.2, increase as follows:
Arrow-1: Increase 24-28-32-36-40-44 stitches evenly spaced = 146-156-166-174-184-194 stitches.
Arrow-2: Increase 22-26-30-36-40-44 stitches evenly spaced = 168-182-196-210-224-238 stitches (there is now room for 12-13-14-15-16-17 repeats of A.1 with 14 stitches).
Arrow-3: Increase 24-30-28-34-38-44 stitches evenly spaced = 192-212-224-244-262-282 stitches.
Arrow-4: Increase 24-28-28-32-38-42 stitches evenly spaced = 216-240-252-276-300-324 stitches (there is now room for 18-20-21-23-25-27 repeats of A.2 with 12 stitches).
Arrow-5: Increase 48-48-52-52-52-60 stitches evenly spaced = 264-288-304-328-352-384 stitches (there is now room for 33-36-38-41-44-48 repeats of A.2 with 8 stitches).
Arrow-6: Increase 24-24-32-44-44-48 stitches evenly spaced = 288-312-336-372-396-432 stitches (there is now room for 24-26-28-31-33-36 repeats of A.2 with 12 stitches).
Arrow-7: Increase 8-8-8-8-8-4 stitches evenly spaced = 296-320-344-380-404-436 stitches.
Finish working A.2.
When A.2 has been completed the piece measures approx. 21-22-22-27-27-27 cm = 8 1/4”-8 3/4”-8 3/4”-10 5/8”-10 5/8”-10 5/8”-10 5/8” from the marker on the neck. Continue with stockinette stitch and maroon (in S and XL only continue if the piece measures less than the above measurement when A.2 is finished).
When the piece measures 21-23-25-27-29-31 cm = 8 1/4”-9”-9 3/4”-10 5/8”-11 3/8”-12 1/4” from the marker on the neck, divide the yoke for the body and sleeves on the next round as follows; Work 45-49-52-57-62-68 stitches in stockinette stitch (= ½ back piece), place the next 58-62-68-76-78-82 stitches on 1 thread for the sleeve and cast on 6-6-8-8-10-10 new stitches on the needle (= in side under sleeve), work 90-98-104-114-124-136 stitches in stockinette stitch (= front piece), place the next 58-62-68-76-78-82 stitches on 1 thread for the sleeve and cast on 6-6-8-8-10-10 new stitches on the needle (= in side under sleeve) and work the remaining 45-49-52-57-62-68 stitches in stockinette stitch (= ½ back piece). Body and sleeves are finished separately. THE PIECE IS NOW MEASURED FROM HERE!
BODY:
= 192-208-224-244-268-292 stitches. Work stockinette stitch in the round with maroon until the piece measures 28 cm = 11” from the division. There is approx. 4 cm = 1 1/2” left to finished length; try the sweater on and work to desired length.
Knit 1 round where you increase 20-20-22-24-26-30 stitches evenly spaced = 212-228-246-268-294-322 stitches (this is done to avoid the rib being tight).
Change to circular needle size 3.5 mm = US 4 and work rib (= knit 1, purl 1) for 4 cm = 1 1/2”. Bind off with knit over knit and purl over purl – read BINDING-OFF TIP! The sweater measures approx. 56-58-60-62-64-66 cm = 22"-22 3/4"-23 5/8"-24 3/8"-25 1/4"-26" from the shoulder down.
SLEEVE:
Place the 58-62-68-76-78-82 stitches from the thread on the one side of the piece on double pointed needles/short circular needle size 4.5 mm = US 7 and knit up 1 stitch in each of the 6-6-8-8-10-10 stitches cast on under the sleeve = 64-68-76-84-88-92 stitches. Insert a marker thread in the middle of the 6-6-8-8-10-10 stitches under the sleeve. Allow the thread to follow your work onwards; it will be used when decreasing under the sleeve. Start at the marker thread and work stockinette stitch in the round with maroon.
When the sleeve measures 3-3-3-2-2-2 cm = 1 1/8”-1 1/8”-1 1/8”-3/4”-3/4”-3/4” from the division, decrease 2 stitches under the sleeve – read DECREASE TIP. Decrease like this every 4-3½-2½-2-1½-1½ cm = 1 1/2”-1 1/4”-7/8”-3/4”-1/2”-1/2” a total of 9-10-13-16-17-18 times = 46-48-50-52-54-56 stitches.
Work until the sleeve measures 38-36-35-33-32-30 cm = 15”-14 1/4”-13 3/4”-13”-12 1/2”-11 3/4” from the division. There is approx. 6 cm = 2 3/8” left to finished length; try the sweater on and work to desired length. NOTE: Shorter measurements in larger sizes due to wider neck and longer yoke.
Change to double pointed needles size 3.5 mm = US 4 and work rib (= knit 1, purl 1) for 6 cm = 2 3/8”. Bind off with knit over knit and purl over purl – remember BINDING-OFF TIP. The sleeve measures approx. 44-42-41-39-38-36 cm = 17 1/4”-16 1/2”-16 1/8”-15 1/4”-15”-14 1/4” from the division. Work the other sleeve in the same way.

Hallo, liebes Drops-Team, kann ich den Pullover nachträglich verlängern (Ärmel und Saum), und wieviel Wolle bräuchte ich bei Grösse M? Danke im Voraus!
31.05.2023 - 12:42DROPS Design answered:
Liebe Frau Gutgesell, ja sicher können Sie den Pullover verlängern, aber die Garnmenge hängt von der Verlängerungen ab - lassen Sie sich bei einem Modell mit der gewünschten Länge inspirieren, gerne wird Ihnen Ihr DROPS Händler (auch per Telefon oder per E-Mail) weiterhelfen. Viel Spaß beim stricken!
31.05.2023 kl. 16:32Bonjour, est-il possible d\'avoir un tableau des tailles femme, s\'il vous plaît ?
14.04.2023 - 16:27DROPS Design answered:
Bonjour Mme Dessiaume, nous n'avons pas de tel tableau car nos modèles remontent aux années 80 et les normes ont changé. Pour trouver votre taille, mesurez un vêtement que vous avez et dont vous aimez la forme et comparez ces mesures à celles du schéma. Retrouvez plus d'infos ici. Bon tricot!
17.04.2023 kl. 08:39Når jeg laver mønsteret på bærestykket buler/bølger det. Især der hvor udtagningerne er. Er det rigtigt

Hej Gitte, Strikker du i DROPS Karisma? Sørg for at du ikke strikker mønsteret for stramt, hvis mønstertråden strammer bagpå vil det bule...
11.11.2022 kl. 13:46Je tricote en rond et jacquard le pull drops outdoor chrismas 217/11 malheureusement il y a toujours un décalage au niveau du dessin à chaque tour pas moyen de le faire aligner pouvez vous m'aider ?

Bonjour Mme Hellin, nous n'avons pas d'autres astuces particulières que la technique des rayures (pas toujours applicable), peut-être que votre magasin aura une astuce à vous partager, n'hésitez pas à le contacter, même par mail ou téléphone, ou bien demandez conseil à d'autres tricoteuses du monde entier via notre DROPS Workshop. Bon tricot!
17.12.2021 kl. 08:42Ik had voor maat XL niet genoeg aan 100 gram om in te breien.
13.11.2021 - 14:55Puseron yläosan levennysten ja kuvioneuleen onnistuessa, tuleeko hartioiden seudulla neuleesta piirroskuvan mallinen? Omassani olat luisuvat suht voimakkaasti alaviistoon (kuitenkin päällä ihan ok). Tarkoittaako se että kuvioneuleeni on liian tiukkaa ja vetää neuletta kasaan?
28.09.2021 - 21:40DROPS Design answered:
Hei, kuvion tulisi näyttää tasaiselta työn oikealta puolelta katsottuna. Työn takaosan lankajuoksujen tulee joustaa hieman. Mikäli kuviosta tulee liian tiukka, voit vaihtaa paksumpiin puikkoihin kuvioneuleen kohdalla.
21.10.2021 kl. 17:42A partir de la taille XL, 100g de coloris clair ne suffisent plus. Il convient d'ajouter une pelote.
17.08.2021 - 16:09Önskar ersätta Lettlopi med liknande garn men mindre stickig till en vuxen dotter med eksem och torr hy.

Hej Meta, er det til dette mønster? I så fald kan du bruge DROPS Karisma, eller DROPS Lima eller DROPS Merino Extra Fine :)
06.04.2021 kl. 15:51Hei:) hva er størrelse målene på oppskriften? Er ganske midt i mellom størrelser😬👍
16.03.2021 - 19:38DROPS Design answered:
Hei Marie, Du finner en målskisse i bunnen av oppskriften. God fornøyelse!
17.03.2021 kl. 08:09Beste, Ik snap niet zo goed hoeveel bolletjes wol ik nodig heb om deze trui te breien in maat S? Alvast bedankt, Mvg, Nynke
13.03.2021 - 17:54DROPS Design answered:
Dag Nynke,
Het eerste getal van de reeks getallen is steeds maat S, dus je hebt 400 gram wijnrood en 100 gram licht eiken nodig. Een bol weegt 50 gram.
