How to work the jacket in DROPS 248-5 – Part 2

In this DROPS video we show a bit of how the Sand Diamond Cardigan is worked. We use the stitch numbers for size M. We have already worked the bands with an I-cord edge, worked 24 rows of chart A.1 and worked charts A.2, A.3 and A.4 two times in height (see video Part 1). When A.2, A.3 and A.4 have been worked two time in height, you will work 2 more repeat of A.3 between A.2 and A.4 (= 4 reports of A.3). When A.1 has been worked 1 time in height, the increases towards mid-front are finished, and except size S, continue increasing for raglan in each transition between body and sleeves. Read under the PATTERN and under the size you knit how to work the next row (we use stitch markers between the charts to get a better overview). Remember BUTTONHOLES. When A.2, A.3 and A.4 have been worked 1 more time in height, all the increases are finished and there are now 317 stitches on the needle and the work measures approx. 27 cm from the shoulder (size M). This jacket is worked in DROPS Daisy, but in the video, we use DROPS Cotton Merino color no. 30. You must read the pattern and look at the charts to be able to follow this video properly. You’ll find the pattern by clicking on the picture below. You will also find several tutorials videos for this jacket, see below.

How to increase in DROPS 155-1 and DROPS 158-17

In this DROPS video we show how to increase while knitting short rows and stripes as on the jackets in DROPS 155-1 and DROPS 158-17. Put the sts back on the right needle and at the same time knit the stripes and short rows. Note! There will come a slight transition (longer stitches) when you put the stitches back and knit them again. It is therefore important to tighten the thread every time you knit a new row and the transition will also be smaller after washing. In the video the transition is more visible because we knit with a thicker yarn than in the patterns. You must read the pattern to be able to follow.
