------------------------------------------------------- EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN: ------------------------------------------------------- EDGE STITCH (worked back and forth): Work either 1 or 2 edge stitches at the beginning and end of the rows as described in the text. These stitches are knitted from both the right and wrong side (garter stitch). PATTERN: See diagrams A.1 to A.5. The diagrams show all rows in the pattern from the right side. A.X and A.Y show the increases for the cables. INCREASE TIP (for sleeves): Start 1 stitch before the marker-thread, 1 yarn over, knit 2 (marker-thread sits between these 2 stitches), 1 yarn over. On the next round knit the yarn overs twisted to avoid holes. Then work the new stitches in stocking stitch. ITALIAN CAST-OFF: Sew Italian cast-off to give an elastic edge. The strand-ends that are used for this must be a least 4 times longer than the piece which is to be cast off. Start by “locking” the 1st stitch as follows: Insert the needle into the 1st stitch as if to purl and tighten. Do not slip the stitch from the needle. Insert the needle from the back between the 1st and 2nd stitch so that the strand comes to the front, pull the strand through, insert the needle into the 2nd stitch as if to knit, pull the strand through. Insert the needle into the into the 1st stitch as if to knit, pull the strand through, then slip the 1st stich off the needle. Insert the needle into the 2nd stitch as if to purl, pull the strand through, insert the needle into the 1st stitch as if to purl, pull the thread through then slip the 1st stitch off the needle (the strand is now at the back of the work). From the back, insert the needle between the 1st and 2nd stitch, pull the strand through. From the front, insert the needle into the 2nd stitch as if to knit, pull the strand through, insert the needle into the 1st stitch as if to knit, pull the strand through, slip the 1st stitch from the needle. Now start casting off in rib. 1: When casting off a purled stitch, sew as follows: Insert the needle into the 2nd stitch (a knitted stitch) as if to purl, pull the strand through, Insert the needle into the 1st stitch (a purled stitch) as if to purl, pull the strand through, slip 1st stitch from the needle (the strand is now at back of piece). 2: When casting off a knitted stitch, sew as follows: From the back, insert the needle between 1st and 2nd stitch, pull the strand through. From the front, insert the needle into the 2nd stitch (a purled stitch) as if to knit, pull the strand through, insert the needle into the 1st stitch as if to knit, pull the strand through, slip 1st stitch from the needle. Repeat directions 1 and 2 until all stitches are cast off (the last 2 stitches are cast off in the same way even though they are both knitted stitches). Pull the strand through the last stitch. ------------------------------------------------------- START THE PIECE HERE: ------------------------------------------------------- JUMPER - SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE: The front and back pieces are worked as one large piece, sideways from right to left. Stitches are cast off for the neckline in the middle and the front and back pieces continued separately until the neckline is finished, then joined again and finished as one piece. The sleeves are worked in the round, bottom up. The piece is sewn together and stitches knitted up for the rib around the bottom. The neck is worked to finish. RIGHT SIDE OF PIECE (when the garment is worn): Cast on 169-169-185-185-201-201 stitches with circular needle size 5 mm, 1 strand DROPS Merino Extra Fine and 1 strand DROPS Kid-Silk (2 strands). Knit 1 row from the right side, then knit 1 row from the wrong side. Insert 1 marker in the 85th-85th-93rd-93rd-101st-101st stitch on the row. The first 84-84-92-92-100-100 stitches from the right side are the front piece, the last 84-84-92-92-100-100 stitches are the back piece. The marker-stitch marks the top of the shoulder – allow it to follow your work onwards. Work as follows from the right side: 1 EDGE STITCH – read description above, 6 stocking stitches, A.1, 21-21-21-21-29-29 stocking stitches, A.X, A.1, 61-61-77-77-77-77 stocking stitches (marker sits in the 31st-31st-39th-39th-39th-39th of these stitches), A.1, A.Y, 21-21-21-21-29-29 stocking stitches, A.1, 6 stocking stitches, 1 edge stitch = 177-177-193-193-209-209 stitches. Work back from the wrong side with knit over knit and purl over purl. Work as follows from the right side: 1 edge stitch, 6 stocking stitches, A.1, A.2A, work A.2B 1-1-1-1-2-2 times, A.2C, A.3, A.1, A.2A, work A.2B 6-6-8-8-8-8 times, A.2C, A.1, A.4, A.2A, work A.2B 1-1-1-1-2-2 times, A.2C, A.1, 6 stocking stitches, 1 edge stitch. Continue this pattern back and forth until there is 1 row left in the 3rd-3rd-4th-4th-5th-5th repeat in height of A.2 (the row from wrong side still unworked). On the next row cast off for the neckline as follows: Work as before until there are 6 stitches left before the marker-stitch, cast off 16 stitches (6 stitches before the marker-stitch on the back piece, the stitch with the marker and 9 stitches after the marker-stitch on the front piece), work to end of row. The piece measures approx. 19-19-25-25-31-31 cm from the cast-on edge. Continue the front and back pieces separately. FRONT PIECE: = 79-79-87-87-95-95 stitches. Continue the pattern back and forth and cast off for the neck at the beginning of each row from the wrong side as follows: 2 stitches 3 times = 73-73-81-81-89-89 stitches. Continue the pattern back and forth until there are 6 rows left on the 6th-6th-7th-7th-8th-8th repeat in height of A.2 from the cast-on edge. Now increase for the neckline by casting on 2 stitches at the end of each row from the right side 3 times = 79-79-87-87-95-95 stitches. Work back from the wrong side. Place the stitches on a stitch holder. BACK PIECE: = 82-82-90-90-98-98 stitches. Start from the right side and continue the pattern back and forth. After having worked 2 rows, cast off 2 stitches for the neckline on the next row from the right side = 80-80-88-88-96-96 stitches. Continue the pattern back and forth until there are 3 rows left on the 6th-6th-7th-7th-8th-8th repeat of A.2 from the cast-on edge (with the next row from the wrong side). On the next row cast on 2 stitches at the end of the row for the neckline = 82-82-90-90-98-98 stitches. On the next row from the wrong side cast on 16 stitches at the end of the row = 98-98-106-106-114-114 stitches. A.2 has now been worked 6-6-7-7-8-8 times in height. LEFT SIDE OF THE PIECE (when the garment is worn): Place the front and back piece on the same needle = 177-177-193-193-209-209 stitches. Start from the right side and continue the pattern. Continue until A.2 has been worked 3-3-4-4-5-5 times in height after the neckline (9-9-11-11-13-13 times from the cast-on edge on the right side of the piece). Work 1 row as before from the right side, so the squares in A.2 are closed at the top – AT THE SAME TIME on this row decrease 2 stitches over each cable in A.3 and A.4 by knitting the stitches together 2 and 2 = 169-169-185-185-201-201 stitches. Work back from the wrong side with knit over knit and purl over purl. Cast off with knit from right side. The piece measures approx. 54-54-66-66-78-78 cm from the cast-on edge. RIB ON BOTTOM OF BACK PIECE: Knit up from the right side 113-113-139-139-163-163 stitches inside 1 edge stitch with circular needle size 3.5 mm and 1 strand of each quality (2 strands). The stitch number should be divisible by 2 + 1. Work as follows from the wrong side: 2 edge stitches, * purl 1, knit 1 *, work from *-* until there are 3 stitches left, purl 1 and 2 edge stitches. Work this rib back and forth for 7 cm. Sew ITALIAN CAST-OFF – read description above (or cast off with knit over knit and purl over purl). The piece measures approx. 59-59-64-64-69-69 cm from the marker on the shoulder. RIB ON BOTTOM OF FRONT PIECE: Work in the same way as the back piece. SLEEVES: Cast on 62-64-66-68-72-74 stitches with double pointed needles size 3.5 mm and 1 strand of each quality (2 strand). Knit 1 round. Work rib in the round (knit 1, purl 1) for 7 cm. Knit 1 round and decrease 11-13-15-9-13-15 stitches evenly spaced = 51-51-51-59-59-59 stitches. Insert a marker thread at the beginning of the round and allow it to follow the piece onwards. Change to double pointed needles size 5 mm. Knit 1 round, then work the next round as follows: 1 stocking stitch, A.5A, work A.5B 5-5-5-6-6-6 times, A.5C, 1 stocking stitch. Continue this pattern. When the sleeve measures 10 cm, increase 1 stitch on each side of the marker-thread – read INCREASE TIP. Increase like this every 12-6-4-7-3-3 cm a total of 3-5-6-4-6-7 times = 57-61-63-67-71-73 stitches. Work until the sleeve measures approx. 43-45-40-41-36-37 cm – it is neatest to finish after round 2 or 8 in A.5. Cast off a little loosely with knit. Work the other sleeve in the same way. ASSEMBLY: Insert 1 marker in both the front and back pieces, 18-19-20-21-22-23 cm down from the marker on the shoulder = armhole (measure the top of the sleeve – the armhole should match). Sew the side seams inside the cast-off/cast-on edges (the ridge should be visible) – start under the armhole and sew down to the rib = 7 cm split in each side. Sew in the sleeves between the markers, inside the cast-off/cast-on edges on the body (the ridge should be visible). DOUBLE NECK: Use short circular needle size 3.5 mm and 1 strand of each quality (2 strands). Knit up from the right side 104 to 116 stitches around the neck, inside 1 edge stitch. The stitch count should be divisible by 2. Work rib in the round (knit 1, purl 1) for 14-14-15-15-16-16 cm. Cast off with rib. Fold the neck double to the inside and sew down. To avoid the neck being tight and rolling outwards, it is important that the seam is elastic. |
