---------------------------------------------------------- EXPLANATION FOR THE PATTERN: ---------------------------------------------------------- BAND WITH I-CORD: BEGINNING OF ROW: Work band as follows: Slip 1 stitch purlwise with strand in front of piece, knit 1 and work 5 stitches in garter stitch. END OF ROW: Work band as follows: Work until 7 stitches remain on row, work 5 stitches in garter stitch, slip 1 stitch purlwise with strand in front of piece, knit 1. Work the same way both from right side and wrong side. GARTER STITCH (back and forth): Knit all rows. 1 ridge vertically = knit 2 rows. PATTERN: See diagram A.1. Diagrams show all rows in pattern seen from the right side. INCREASE TIP-1 (evenly): All increases are done from the right side. To calculate how to increase evenly, use the total number of stitches on row (e.g. 112 stitches), minus the outermost 15 stitches in each side (for better fit) (e.g. 30 stitches) and divide the remaining stitches by number of increases to be done (e.g. 14) = 5.8. In this example increase after approx. every 6th stitch by making 1 yarn over and do not increase over the outermost 15 stitches in each side. On next row work yarn overs twisted to avoid holes. INCREASE TIP-2 (applies to sides of body): All increases are done from the right side. Increase 1 stitch on each side of marker thread as follows: Work until 1 stitch remains before marker thread, make 1 yarn over, knit 2 (marker thread is between these 2 stitches), make 1 yarn over. On next row purl yarn overs twisted to avoid holes (= 2 stitches increased). Then work the new stitches in stockinette stitch. BUTTONHOLES: Decrease for buttonholes on right band (when garment is worn). Decrease from right side when 5 stitches remain on row as follows: Make 1 yarn over, knit 2 together, knit 1, slip 1 stitch purlwise with strand in front of piece, knit 1. On next row (wrong side) knit the yarn over to make a hole. Decrease first buttonhole directly after neck edge has been worked. Then decrease the next 5-5-6-6-6-6 buttonholes approx. 8-8½-7-7½-8-8 cm = 3⅛"-3¼"-2¾"-2⅞"-3⅛"-3⅛" apart - the bottom buttonhole is placed in the transition between stockinette stitch and rib. DECREASE TIP (applies to sleeves): Decrease 1 stitch on each side of marker thread as follows: Work until 3 stitches remain before marker thread, knit 2 together, knit 2 (marker thread is between these 2 stitches), slip 1 stitch knitwise, knit 1, pass slipped stitch over stitch worked. ---------------------------------------------------------- START THE PIECE HERE: ---------------------------------------------------------- JACKET - SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE: In this pattern long and short needles have been used, begin with fitting length and switch as needed. Work neck edge and yoke back and forth on circular needle from mid front, work top down. When yoke is done, divide stitches for body and sleeves. Work body downwards back and forth on circular needle while putting the sleeves aside. Then work sleeves downwards in the round on needle. NECK EDGE: Cast on 112-116-120-124-128-136 stitches on circular needle size 3 MM = US 2.5 with DROPS Brushed Alpaca Silk. Work first row as follows from right side: 7 stitches BAND WITH I-CORD - read explanation above, work rib (= knit 2/purl 2) until 9 stitches remain, knit 2 and 7 band stitches. Work rib like this for 4 cm = 1½". Now insert 1 marker mid back, measure yoke from this marker. YOKE: Switch to circular needle size 4.5 MM = US 7. Work in stockinette stitch with bands as before, at the same time on first row increase 14-12-12-14-14-12 stitches evenly – read INCREASE TIP-1 and BUTTONHOLES in explanation above = 126-128-132-138-142-148 stitches. REMEMBER THE KNITTING GAUGE! When piece measures 2-2-3-3-3-3 cm = ¾"-¾"-1⅛"-1⅛"-1⅛"-1⅛" from marker, increase 57-63-67-77-81-91 stitches evenly - remember INCREASE TIP-1 = 183-191-199-215-223-239 stitches. On next row from right side work PATTERN – read explanation above, as follows: Work 7 band stitches as before, work A.1 until 8 stitches remain (21-22-23-25-26-28 times in width), work 1 stitch in stockinette stitch and 7 band stitches as before. When A.1 has been worked, continue in stockinette stitches with band as before. When piece measures 7-7-8-9-9-9 cm = 2¾"-2¾"-3⅛"-3½"-3½"-3½" from marker, increase 56-64-64-80-88-96 stitches evenly – remember INCREASE TIP-1 = 239-255-263-295-311-335 stitches. On next row from right side work pattern as follows: Work 7 band stitches as before, work A.1 until 8 stitches remain (28-30-31-35-37-40 times in width), work 1 stitch in stockinette stitch and 7 band stitches as before. When A.1 has been worked, continue in stockinette stitches with band as before. When piece measures 14-14-15-16-16-16 cm = 5½"-5½"-6"-6¼"-6¼"-6¼" from marker, increase 24-32-40-40-48-48 stitches evenly – remember INCREASE TIP-1 = 263-287-303-335-359-383 stitches. On next row from right side work pattern as follows: Work 7 band stitches as before, work A.1 until 8 stitches remain (31-34-36-40-43-46 times in width), work 1 stitch in stockinette stitch and 7 band stitches as before. When A.1 has been worked, continue in stockinette stitches with band as before. When piece measures 21-22-22-23-25-27 cm = 8¼"-8¾"-8¾"-9"-9¾"-10⅝" from marker, divide piece for body and sleeves as explained below. DIVIDING FOR BODY AND SLEEVES: Work the first 42-46-48-52-57-62 stitches as before (= front piece), slip the next 54-58-62-70-72-74 stitches on a thread for sleeve, cast on 8-8-10-10-12-12 new stitches on needle (= in the side under sleeve), work 71-79-83-91-101-111 stitches in stockinette stitch (= back piece), slip the next 54-58-62-70-72-74 stitches on a thread for sleeve, cast on 8-8-10-10-12-12 new stitches on needle (= in the side under sleeve), and work the last 42-46-48-52-57-62 stitches as before (= front piece). Finish body and sleeves separately. Now measure piece from here! BODY: = 171-187-199-215-239-259 stitches. Insert 1 marker thread in each side of body, in the middle of the 8-8-10-10-12-12 stitches that were cast on under sleeves. Move the marker threads upwards when working; they should be used for increase in the sides on body. Continue back and forth in stockinette stitch with bands as before. When piece measures 3 cm = 1⅛" from division, increase 1 stitch on each side of marker threads - read INCREASE TIP-2. Increase like this every 5-5-5½-5½-5½-5½ cm = 2"-2"-2⅛"-2⅛"-2⅛"-2⅛" 3-4-4-4-4-4 times in total = 183-199-211-227-251-271 stitches. Work until piece measures 20-21-23-23-23-23 cm = 8"-8¼"-9"-9"-9"-9" from division and next row is from right side. Work in stockinette stitch and band stitches as before while increasing 29-29-33-33-41-41 stitches evenly over stitches in stockinette stitch - remember INCREASE TIP-1 = 212-228-244-260-292-312 stitches. Switch to circular needle size 3 MM = US 2.5. Work next row as follows from wrong side: Work 7 band stitches as before, work rib (= purl 2, knit 2) until 9 stitches remain, purl 2 and 7 band stitches as before. Continue rib like this for 4 cm = 1½". Bind off. Jacket measures approx. 50-52-54-56-58-60 cm = 19¾"-20½"-21¼"-22"-22¾"-23⅝" from shoulder. SLEEVES: Slip the 54-58-62-70-72-74 stitches from thread in one side of piece on double pointed needles/a circular needle size 4.5 MM = US 7 and pick in addition up 1 stitch in each of the 8-8-10-10-12-12 new stitches cast on under sleeve = 62-66-72-80-84-86 stitches. Insert 1 marker thread in the middle of the 8-8-10-10-12-12 new stitches under sleeve. Use marker thread when decreasing under sleeve. Begin round at the marker thread, work in stockinette stitch in the round, AT THE SAME TIME when sleeve measures 3 cm = 1⅛" from division, decrease 2 stitches mid under sleeve - read DECREASE TIP. Decrease like this every 3-3-3-3-4½-7 cm = 1⅛"-1⅛"-1⅛"-1⅛"-1⅝"-2¾" 4-4-4-4-2-2 times in total = 54-58-64-72-80-82 stitches. When sleeve measures 15-15-15-16-14-12 cm = 6"-6"-6"-6¼"-5½"-4¾" from division and approx. 4 cm = 1½" remain until finished length, knit 1 round while increasing 10-10-12-12-12-14 stitches evenly - read INCREASE TIP-1 = 64-68-76-84-92-96 stitches. Switch to double pointed needles size 3 MM = US 2.5. Work rib in the round = knit 2/purl 2 for 4 cm = 1½". Bind off. Sleeve measures approx. 19-19-19-20-18-16 cm = 7½"-7½"-7½"-8"-7"-6¼" from division. ASSEMBLY: Sew the buttons on to the left band. |
