------------------------------------------------------- EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN: ------------------------------------------------------- RIDGE/GARTER STITCH (worked back and forth): Knit all rows. 1 ridge in height = Knit 2 rows. LACE-PATTERN SECTIONS: Decrease and increase at the marker threads on the front and back pieces as shown in diagrams A.1 and A.2. DECREASE TIP (for armholes): All decreases are worked from the right side! Decrease on the inside of the outermost 7-7-9-9-11-11 stitches on each side. These 7-7-9-9-11-11 stitches are worked as follows from the edge (seen from the right side): 1 edge stitch in garter stitch, * knit 1, purl 1 *, work from *-* a total of 3-3-4-4-5-5 times. DECREASING AFTER THE 7-7-9-9-11-11 STITCHES: Slip 1 stitch as if to knit, knit 1 and pass the slipped stitch over the knitted stitch (1 stitch decreased). DECREASING BEFORE THE 7-7-9-9-11-11 STITCHES: Work until there are 2 stitches left before the 7-7-9-9-11-11 edge stitches, knit 2 together (= 1 stitch decreased), work the 7-7-9-9-11-11 stitches as before. ------------------------------------------------------- START THE PIECE HERE: ------------------------------------------------------- TOP – SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE: The body is worked in the round with circular needle, bottom up as far as the armholes. Then the front and back pieces are finished separately, back and forth with circular needle. The straps are sewn onto the back piece. BODY: Cast on 200-220-240-260-288-316 stitches with circular needle size 3 MM = US 2.5 and Safran. Change to circular needle size 2.5 MM = US 1.5 and work rib in the round (= knit 1, purl 1) for 2 cm = ¾". Change back to circular needle size 3 MM = US 2.5 and work the first round as follows: Work 10-10-14-14-16-16 stitches in rib (starting with knit 1), 79-89-93-103-111-125 stitches in stockinette stitch, 21-21-27-27-33-33 stitches in rib (starting with purl 1), 79-89-93-103-111-125 stitches in stockinette stitch, 11-11-13-13-17-17 stitches in rib (starting with purl 1). Continue with stockinette stitch and rib in the sides. REMEMBER THE KNITTING GAUGE! When the piece measures 4 cm = 1½" in all sizes, insert 4 marker threads as described below; these threads are used when working the lace-pattern sections. Count 10-10-14-14-16-16 ribbed stitches, 17-21-21-25-28-34 stockinette stitches, insert 1 marker thread, count 45-47-51-53-55-57 stockinette stitches (= mid-front), insert 1 marker thread, count 17-21-21-25-28-34 stockinette stitches, 21-21-27-27-33-33 ribbed stitches, 17-21-21-25-28-34 stockinette stitches, insert 1 marker thread, count 45-47-51-53-55-57 stockinette stitches (= mid-back) and insert 1 marker thread. There are 17-21-21-25-28-34 stockinette stitches and 11-11-13-13-17-17 ribbed stitches left after the last thread. Allow the threads to follow your work onwards. Continue with stockinette stitch and rib as before – in addition, decrease for LACE-PATTERN SECTIONS – read description above, by working A.1 over each marker thread (thread sits in the middle of A.1) = 8 stitches decreased on the round. Repeat A.1 a total of 4 times in height = 168-188-208-228-256-284 masker. Continue as before, without further decreases, until the piece measures 14-14-14-16-16-16 cm = 5½"-5½"-5½"-6¼"-6¼"-6¼". Now increase for LACE-PATTERN SECTIONS – read description above, by working A.2 over each marker thread (thread sits in the middle of A.2) = 8 stitches increased on the round. Repeat A.2 a total of 4 times in height = 200-220-240-260-288-316 stitches. Continue as before, without further increases, until the piece measures 30-31-32-33-33-34 cm = 11¾"-12¼"-12½"-13"-13"-13⅜". Now bind off for the armholes and divide for the front and back pieces as follows: Bind off 3-3-5-5-5-5 stitches, work 7-7-9-9-11-11 ribbed stitches as before, 79-89-93-103-111-125 stockinette stitches, 7-7-9-9-11-11 ribbed stitches, bind off 7-7-9-9-11-11 stitches, work 7-7-9-9-11-11 ribbed stitches, 79-89-93-103-111-125 stockinette stitches, 7-7-9-9-11-11 ribbed stitches and bind off the last 4-4-4-4-6-6 stitches. Cut the strand. The front and back pieces are finished separately. FRONT PIECE: = 93-103-111-121-133-147 stitches. Start at one armhole, from the wrong side, and work 1 edge stitch in garter stitch, rib as before over the next 6-6-8-8-10-10 stitches, purl until there are 7-7-9-9-11-11 stitches left on the row, rib as before over the next 6-6-8-8-10-10 stitches and finish with 1 edge stitch in garter stitch. Continue back and forth like this. AT THE SAME TIME on the first row from the right side begin to decrease for the armholes – read DECREASE TIP. Decrease 1 stitch on each side every 2nd row (each row from the right side) a total of 10-14-14-19-23-27 times = 73-75-83-83-87-93 stitches. Continue back and forth with stockinette stitch, 6-6-8-8-10-10 ribbed stitches and 1 edge stitch in garter stitch on each side until the piece measures 42-44-46-48-50-52 cm = 16½"-17¼"-18"-19"-19¾"-20½". Now work rib back and forth over all stitches with 1 edge stitch in garter stitch on each side for 2 cm = ¾". Then work the next row from the right side as follows: Rib as before over the first 11-11-15-15-17-19 stitches, place these stitches on a thread, bind off the next 51-53-53-53-53-55 stitches with knit over knit and purl over purl and rib as before over the last 11-11-15-15-17-19 stitches. Work straps with the 11-11-15-15-17-19 stitches left on the needle as described below. STRAP: Continue with rib as before and 1 edge stitch in garter stitch on each side until the whole front piece measures 51-53-55-57-59-61 cm = 20"-21"-21⅝"-22½"-23¼"-24" (the strap measures 7 cm = 2¾" in all sizes). Bind off. NOTE: The front piece, including the strap is approx. 3 cm = 1⅛" longer than in the sketch because the straps will be sewn onto the back piece. Place the stitches from the thread on the other side back onto circular needle size 3 MM = US 2.5 and work the other strap in the same way. BACK PIECE: = 93-103-111-121-133-147 stitches. Start at one armhole from the wrong side and work 1 edge stitch in garter stitch, rib as before over the next 6-6-8-8-10-10 stitches, purl until there are 7-7-9-9-11-11 stitches left on the row, rib as before over the next 6-6-8-8-10-10 stitches and finish with 1 edge stitch in garter stitch. Continue back and forth like this AT THE SAME TIME on the first row from the right side begin to decrease for the armholes. Decrease 1 stitch on each side every 2nd row (each row from the right side) a total of 10-14-14-19-23-27 times = 73-75-83-83-87-93 stitches. Continue back and forth with stockinette stitch, 6-6-8-8-10-10 ribbed stitches and 1 edge stitch in garter stitch on each side until the piece measures 43-45-47-49-51-53 cm = 17"-17¾"-18½"-19¼"-20"-21". Now work rib back and forth over all stitches with 1 edge stitch in garter stitch on each side for 2 cm = ¾". Then bind off all stitches with knit over knit and purl over purl. The back piece is approx. 3 cm = 1⅛" less than the given length in the sketch. ASSEMBLY: Sew the straps to each side of the back piece so the stitches match. |

In the Orange Zest pattern, after the first round of LACE pattern, it says to do this 4 times- are there any rounds in between? In the photo , it looks like there are about 4 rounds in between LACE pattern in both increase and decrease section. Also a question on sizing, I am a 34" bust, which is which size in the pattern- Large? I wear a Small in everything- this just seems strange to me.

Dear Diane, the A.1 pattern has one row/round with increases and decreases and then 5 row/round with stocking stitch. You will have to repeat this 6 rows/rounds 4 times, then knit stocking stitch until your piece is the given length (for your size), then knit the A.2 pattern that has one row/round with yarnovers and six rows/rounds with stocking stitch. For sizing please see the measurements given on the schematic drawing at the bottom of the pattern and compare to a piece that fits the intended wearer. I hope this helps. Happy Knitting!

I don't understand the pattern. I am at the point where I have put in all the marker threads to designate where to start the LACE work. But I don't know how to follow the pattern sections- or where to start them I guess. I really need a live person to talk me through this i think. Is that possible?

Buongiorno volevo sapere come devo regolarmi se voglio il top più lungo? Grazie Cordialmente
02.07.2023 - 18:27DROPS Design answered:
Buonasera Stella, se non deve apportare variazioni di larghezza iniziali può seguire le istruzioni e continuare a lavorare fino alla lunghezza desiderata prima della divisione per gli scalfi. In caso contrario, va riprogettata tutta la lavorazione, ma in questa sede non ci è possibile farlo. Buon lavoro!

Hallo, ich verstehe nicht, wie ich auf die 48 cm komme, die in der strickschrift abgegeben sind. In der Anleitung steht, dass man nach 30 cm für die Ärmel abketten soll. Können sie mir weiterhelfen? Danke
22.06.2022 - 17:50DROPS Design answered:
Liebe Frau Necla, die 30 cm sind für den Rumpfteil, dann stricken Sie noch 18 cm für den Armausschnitt so bekommen Sie die 48 cm = die gesamte Höhe. Viel Spaß beim stricken!

Potete dirmi se c'è un video che spiega lavorare separatamente il davanti ed il dietro
22.05.2021 - 18:51DROPS Design answered:
Buonasera Alma, non ci sono video che spiegano la lavorazione completa di questo top. Il top è lavorato dal basso verso l'alto in tondo, poi in piano dopo la lavorazione degli scalfi. Buon lavoro!
