------------------------------------------------------- EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN: ------------------------------------------------------- PATTERN: See diagrams A.1 to A.3. 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 not correct in height and you work too tightly, the garment will be short and the armholes too small – you can correct for this by regularly working an extra row in the 1-colored sections. If you work loosely, the garment will be too long – you can correct for this by regularly working 1 round less in the 1-colored sections. INCREASE TIP (evenly spaced): To work out how to increase evenly, count the total number of stitches on the needle (e.g. 80 stitches) and divide by the number of increases to be made (e.g. 22) = 3.6. In this example, increase by making 1 yarn over after alternately each 3rd and 4th stitch. On the next round, knit the yarn overs twisted to avoid holes. DECREASE TIP (for mid under sleeve): 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. 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, from the transition between the left sleeve and the back piece and top down. The yoke is divided for the 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 80-84-88-94-96-102 stitches with circular needle size 4.5 mm = US 7 and wheat. Knit 1 round then work rib (= knit 1 twisted / purl 1) in the round for 9 cm = 3½". When the rib is finished, knit 1 round where you increase 22-24-26-26-30-36 stitches evenly spaced – read INCREASE TIP = 102-108-114-120-126-138 stitches. Change to circular needle size 5.5 mm = US 9 and insert 1 marker at the beginning of the round; the yoke is measured from this marker! YOKE: Work pattern A.1 (= 6 stitches) a total of 17-18-19-20-21-23 times on the round – read KNITTING TIP. On the rounds with arrows, increase as follows - remember INCREASE TIP: Arrow-1: Increase 24-24-30-30-30-30 stitches evenly spaced = 126-132-144-150-156-168 stitches. There is now room for 21-22-24-25-26-28 repeats of A.1 on the round. Arrow-2: Increase 14-22-24-18-19-21 stitches evenly spaced = 140-154-168-168-175-189 stitches. REMEMBER THE KNITTING GAUGE! Now continue in the different sizes as described below: Sizes S and M: Work A.2 (= 7 stitches) a total of 20-22 times on the round. When the piece measures 22-24 cm = 8¾"-9½", sizes S-M are finished. If the knitting gauge is correct there are 4-0 rounds left in A.2 and 240-264 stitches on the round. If the piece is shorter than 22-24 cm = 8¾"-9½", continue with the remaining rounds in A.2 and then A.3 over A.2 (there is room for 2 repeats of A.3 over the 12 stitches in A.2) to the correct length. Sizes L and XL Work A.2 (= 7 stitches) a total of 24-24 times on the round. When the diagram has been worked in height there are 288-288 stitches on the round. If the knitting gauge is correct the piece measures 24-24 cm = 9½"-9½" from the marker. Continue with A.3 over A.2 (there is room for 2 repeats of A.3 over the 12 stitches in A.2) until the piece measures 25-26 cm = 9¾"-10¼" from the marker. Sizes XXL and XXXL: Work A.2 (= 7 stitches) a total of 25-27 times on the round. When the diagram has been worked in height there are 300-324 stitches on the round. If the knitting gauge is correct the piece now measures 24-24 cm = 9½"-9½" from the marker. Continue with A.3 over A.2 (there is room for 2 repeats of A.3 over the 12 stitches in A.2) until the piece measures 28-30 cm = 11"-11¾" from the marker; at the same time on row 8 in A.3 increase 12-12 stitches evenly spaced = 312-336 stitches. All sizes: Now divide the piece for the body and sleeves. To give a symmetric pattern on the front and back pieces, the beginning of the round is moved back 3 stitches in sizes M and XXXL (i.e., cut the strand and place the first stitches on the right needle onto the left needle before continuing). In sizes S, L, XL and XXL keep the beginning of the round where it is. Work the next round in pattern as before and as follows: Work the first 72-78-84-84-96-102 stitches (= back piece), place the next 48-54-60-60-60-66 stitches on a thread for the sleeve and cast on 6-6-6-12-12-12 new stitches (= in side under sleeve), work the next 72-78-84-84-96-102 stitches (= front piece) and place the next 48-54-60-60-60-66 stitches on a thread for the sleeve and cast on 6-6-6-12-12-12 new stitches (= in side under sleeve). Body and sleeves are finished separately. THE PIECE IS NOW MEASURED FROM HERE! BODY: = 156-168-180-192-216-228 stitches. Continue in the different sizes as follows: Size S: Insert a marker thread in the middle of the 6 new stitches cast on under each sleeve (= 3 stitches on each side of the thread). Continue with A.2 as before until the diagram has been completed in height – NOTE: The pattern does not fit under the sleeves; work as many stitches of pattern that there is room for under sleeves. Work A.3 (= 6 stitches) a total of 26 times on the round. When A.3 has been completed go to ALL SIZES. Sizes M, L, XL, XXL and XXXL: Continue with A.3 (= 6 stitches) a total of 28-30-32-36-38 times on the round. When A.3 has been completed go to ALL SIZES. ALL SIZES: After A.3 continue with wheat to finished length. When the piece measures 26-26-27-28-28-28 cm = 10¼"-10¼"-10⅝"-10⅝"-11"-11"-11" from the division, knit 1 round where you increase 28-30-32-32-36-38 stitches evenly spaced = 184-198-212-224-252-266 stitches. Change to circular needle size 4.5 mm = US 7 and work rib (= knit 1 twisted, purl 1) for 4 cm = 1½". 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"-22¾"-23⅝"-24⅜"-25¼"-26" from the shoulder down. SLEEVE: Place the 48-54-60-60-60-66 stitches from the thread on the one side of the piece on double pointed needles/short circular needle size 5.5 mm = US 9 and knit up 1 stitch in each of the 6-6-6-12-12-12 stitches cast on under the sleeve = 54-60-66-72-72-78 stitches. Insert a marker thread in the middle of the 6-6-6-12-12-12 stitches under the sleeve. Allow the thread to follow your work onwards; it will be used when decreasing under the sleeve. Continue in the round with pattern, in the same way as on the body – the pattern will not fit under the sleeve. When the sleeve measures 5-3-3-3-3-3 cm = 2"-1⅛"-1⅛"-1⅛"-1⅛"-1⅛" from the division, decrease 1 stitch on either side of the marker thread - read DECREASE TIP. Decrease like this every 3½-3-2½-2-2-1½ cm = 1¼"-1⅛"-⅞"-¾"-¾"-½" a total of 9-11-13-15-14-17 times = 36-38-40-42-44-44 stitches. Continue working until the sleeve measures 37-36-35-34-33-31 cm = 14½"-14¼"-13¾"-13⅜"-13"-12¼" (shorter measurements in larger sizes due to longer yoke). Knit 1 round where you increase 6-6-6-6-8-8 stitches evenly spaced = 42-44-46-48-52-52 stitches. Change to double pointed needles size 4.5 mm = US 7 and work rib (= knit 1 twisted, purl 1) for 5 cm = 2". Bind off with knit over knit and purl over purl - remember BINDING-OFF TIP. Work the other sleeve in the same way. |

Hello I'm confused by A. 2. In the written pattern it says it's 7 stitches, but on the diagram I see only 6 stitches?

Dear Wendy, are you sure yo are looking at the right diagram? A.2 is the middle one of the three diagrams, and it starts off with seven stitches. Happy Knitting!

Prachtig patroon! Staat op mijn wensenlijstje van toekomstige projecten :) Alleen... er is al een kleur uit het assortiment, nr. 28 steenrood. Ik dacht eerst nog dat nr. 25, framboos, misschien gebruikt zou kunnen worden ter vervanging, maar ook deze is inmiddels uit het assortiment. Hebben jullie een suggestie voor een alternatief? Alvast bedankt!

Dag Yvonne,
We hebben niet echt een vergelijkbaar garen in dezelfde dikte wat je kunt gebruiken. Je zou even kunnen vragen bij een of meerdere verkooppunten of ze deze kleur nog hebben liggen. Via deze link vind je een lijst met verkooppunten.

Hej. Jag skulle vilja köpa mönsterkatalog 217, men kan inte hitta det någonstans. Jag är lite äldre och kan inte detta med mönster online så bra så jag vill hellre ha hela katalogen som för i tiden. Kan ni hjälpa mig med det? Mvh Aina Lindhe

Hej Aina, vi har ikke mønsterkataloger mere. Men du kan altid få hjælp med at skrive opskriften ud hos din DROPS forhandler når du køber garnet der :)

Forsto det nå, økte 12 masker skal økes på forstykket og bakstykket i L.

Strikker L, det står at bolen i L skal være 180 masker, men hvis man legger sammen forstykket og bakstykket i teksten ved deling blir det bare 168 masker som er M. Det må være feil? Hva skal jeg gjøre?
22.08.2022 - 01:43DROPS Design answered:
Hei Jean, Du strikker 84 masker (bakstykket), setter av masker til ermet og deretter legger opp 6 masker under ermet, strikker 84 masker til forstykket og igjen legger opp 6 masker under ermet. 84 + 6 + 84 + 6 = 180 masker. God fornøyelse!

Bonjour Mme Picard, tout à fait, mais pensez à bien tricoter le diagramme A.2 avec les jetés = augmentations comme indiqué, sans vous préoccuper des couleurs si vous le voulez uni. Bon tricot!
