------------------------------------------------------- EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN: ------------------------------------------------------- RIDGE/GARTER STITCH (worked back and forth): Knit all rows. 1 ridge = knit 2 rows. RAGLAN: All increases are worked from the right side! Work to the marker-stitch, 1 yarn over, knit the marker-stitch, 1 yarn over. Increase like this at each marker-stitch (8 stitches increased). On the next row purl the yarn overs twisted to avoid holes. Then work the new stitches in stockinette stitch. DECREASE TIP (sleeves): Decrease 1 stitch on either side of the marker as follows: Work until there are 3 stitches left before the marker, knit 2 together, knit 2 (marker sits between these 2 stitches), slip 1 stitch as if to knit, knit 1 and pass the slipped stitch over the knitted stitch. BUTTONHOLES: Work buttonholes on the right band (when the garment is worn). Work from the right side when there are 3 stitches left on the row as follows: Make 1 yarn over, knit 2 together and knit 1. On the next row, knit the yarn over to leave a hole. The first buttonhole is worked when the neck measures 2 cm = ¾". Then work the other 4-4-4-4 (5-5) buttonholes with after 5-6-6½-7 (6½-7) cm = 2"-2⅜"-2½"-2¾" (2½"-2¾") between each one. ------------------------------------------------------- START THE PIECE HERE: ------------------------------------------------------- JACKET – SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE: The yoke is worked back and forth with circular needle. It is divided for the body and sleeves and the body continued back and forth. The sleeves are worked in the round with double pointed needles. NECK: Cast on 75-81-85-91 (95-99) stitches with circular needle size 2.5 MM = US 1.5 and DROPS Baby Merino. Purl 1 row from the wrong side with 6 band stitches in GARTER STITCH on each side – read description above. Then work rib as follows: 6 band stitches in garter stitch, * knit 1, purl 1 *, work from *-* until there are 7 stitches left, knit 1 and 6 band stitches in garter stitch. When the rib measures 2 cm = ¾", change to circular needle size 3 MM = US 2.5. Insert 1 marker after the band at the beginning of the row, the yoke is measured from this marker! YOKE: Work the next row from the right side: 6 band stitches in garter stitch, knit 63-69-73-79 (83-87) and increase 9-11-7-13 (13-17) stitches evenly spread and 6 band stitches in garter stitch = 84-92-92-104 (108-116) stitches. Work the first BUTTONHOLE – read description above. On the next row insert 4 markers as follows: Work 6 band stitches in garter stitch, purl 11-13-13-16 (17-19), insert 1 marker in the next stitch, purl 12, insert 1 marker in the next stitch, purl 22-26-26-32 (34-38), insert 1 marker in the next stitch, purl 12, insert 1 marker in the next stitch, purl 11-13-13-16 (17-19) and 6 band stitches in garter stitch. Continue with stockinette stitch and 6 band stitches in garter stitch on each side, increasing as follows: On the next row from the right side increase 1 stitch on each side of all the markers – read RAGLAN! Increase like this every row from the right side 12-14-16-17 (18-19) times = 180-204-220-240 (252-268) stitches. REMEMBER THE KNITTING GAUGE! When the piece measures 9-10-11-12 (13-14) cm = 3½"-4"-4⅜"-4¾" (5⅛"-5½") from the marker, divide for the body and sleeves as follows: Work 6 band stitches in garter stitch, 23-27-29-32 (34-37) stitches in stockinette stitch, place the next 38-42-46-50 (52-54) stitches on a thread for the sleeve, cast on 6 stitches, work 46-54-58-64 (68-74) stitches in stockinette stitch, place the next 38-42-46-50 (52-54) stitches on a thread for the sleeve, cast on 6 stitches, work 23-27-29-32 (34-37) stitches in stockinette stitch and 6 band stitches in garter stitch. BODY: = 116-132-140-152 (160-172) stitches. Continue back and forth with stockinette stitch and 6 band stitches in garter stitch on each side. When the piece measures 10-13-14-16 (18-21) cm = 4"-5⅛"-5½"-6¼" (7"-8¼") from the division, increase 13-13-15-15 (17-19) stitches evenly spaced on the next row from the right side (do not increase over the bands) = 129-145-155-167 (177-191) stitches. Change to circular needle size 2.5 MM = US 1.5 and work rib, starting from the wrong side as follows: 6 band stitches in garter stitch, * purl 1, knit 1 *, work from *-* until there are 7 stitches left, purl 1 and 6 band stitches in garter stitch. Continue this rib for 3 cm = 1⅛". Bind off. SLEEVES: Place the 38-42-46-50 (52-54) stitches from the thread on the one side of the piece on double pointed needles size 3 MM = US 2.5 and knit up 1 stitch in each of the 6 stitches cast on under the sleeve = 44-48-52-56 (58-60) stitches. Insert a marker in the middle of the new stitches under the sleeve. Start at the marker and work stockinette stitch in the round. When the sleeve measures 1 cm = ⅜" from the division, decrease 1 stitch on each side of the marker - read DECREASE TIP! Decrease like this every 2½-2½-1½-2 (2-3) cm = 1"-1"-½"-¾" (3/4"-1⅛") a total of 3-4-6-7 (7-7) times = 38-40-40-42 (44-46) stitches. When the sleeve measures 8-11-12-15 (18-23) cm = 3⅛"-4⅜"-4¾"-6" (7"-9"), increase 4-4-4-4 (6-6) stitches evenly spaced = 42-44-44-46 (50-52) stitches. Change to double pointed needles size 2.5 MM = US 1.5 and work rib (knit 1, purl 1) for 2 cm = ¾". Bind off. Work the other sleeve in the same way. BEE: Embroider a bee on the right front piece – see photo. The bee is worked with a single strand and flat stitch, the wings are worked with chain stitch. BEE – BLACK STRIPES: See diagram A and diagram explanations. Using black, start 3 cm = 1⅛" below the neck and 4 cm = 1½" from the band. Embroider 2 flat stitches, diagonally up to the right (towards the band), close together and 0.5 cm = ⅛" in length. Skip 0.5 cm = ⅛" diagonally up to the left and embroider 4 flat stitches close together and parallel to the first 2 stitches, 1 cm = ⅜" in length (= middle of body), skip 0.5 cm, work 2 flat stitches close together and parallel to the 4 stitches, 0.5 cm = ⅛" in length. BEE – MUSTARD STRIPES: Change to mustard. Embroider flat stitches between the black stripes - 4 stitches of the same length as the black stitches they are close to (2 mustard stripes). BEE - WINGS: Use color off white; the wings consist of 2 chain stitches, both starting from the same hole. Work as follows: STITCH 1: Work 1 chain stitch, 1-1.5 cm = ⅜"-½" in length from the middle of the bee - see diagram B and diagram explanations. STITCH 2: Work 1 chain stitch, 1-1.5 cm = ⅜"-½" in length, starting from the same place. Embroider a set of wings on the other side of the bee. ASSEMBLY: Sew the buttons onto the left band. |

I'm knitting the 2yrs size, and I'm on the yoke section, and I've finished with the raglan instructions and now I have 252 sts on my needles. The next instruction in the pattern is "When the piece measures 13cm from the marker, divide for the body and sleeves", but when I measured, I only have 11cm from the marker. Should I keep knitting back and forth until I reach 13cm, or should I immediately proceed with dividing the body and sleeves? Thanks.

Dear Mia, you need to continue working straight (with no increases) until the piece measures 13 cm, then divide the body and sleeves. Happy knitting!

Hej Har stickat färdigt antalet ökningar på en raglanärm men har ett par cm kvar till rätt längd på ärmen. Kan jag bara fortsätta att sticka utan ökningar tills rätt längd är uppnådd eller ska jag fortsätta öka och därmed få flera maskor? Tack

Hallo, ich bin an der Passe und habe jetzt 17mal in jeder Hinreihe zugenommen. Es sind ab der Markierung leider 10cm. Wenn ich die letzten 2mal zunehme komme ich nicht auf 14cm. Bitte eine Idee. Vielen Dank.

Liebe Frau Langer, Stimmt Ihre Maschenprobe? Wenigstens in der Breite? Wenn Sie immer nicht die richtigen Länge haben, stricken Sie wie zuvor (ohne weitere Zunahmen) bis die Arbeit 12 cm ab der Markierung misst. Viel Spaß beim stricken!

18.03.2022 - 10:23DROPS Design answered:
Bonjour Mme Sauvan, ces 4 mailles qui vous manquent sont celles avec un marqueur: 6 + 13 m pour le devant, 1 maille avec un marqueur, 12 m pour la manche, 1 maille avec un marqueur, 26 m pour le dos, 1 maille avec un marqueur, 12 pour la manche, 1 maille avec un marqueur, 12 m + 6 m pour le devant. Soit: 6+13 +1+ 12+ 1+ 26 +1+ 12+ 1+ 13+6= 92 m. Bon tricot!

Ich komme mit der Ärmellänge nicht zurecht. Wenn ich die Länge von der Teilung an mit 18 cm messe (bei Gr. 92), komme ich auf der Oberseite nur auf ca 32 cm, nicht auf 42 cm. Wenn ich am Kind messe, brauche ich auch tatsächlich mehr Länge. Was stimmt denn jetzt?
25.02.2022 - 22:21DROPS Design answered:
Liebe Frau Janssen, in Grösse 2 Jahren zählen Sie so: 6,5 cm (= 1/2 Hals) + 2 cm Halsblende + 13 cm Passe + 18 cm Ärmel + 2 cm Bündchen = 6.5+2+13+18+2=41.5 cm = ca 42 cm. Viel Spaß beim stricken!

25.02.2022 - 16:36DROPS Design answered:
Liebe Petra, nach allen Zunahmen haben Sie 240 Maschen, so verteilen Sie die Passe: 6 Blenden-Maschen + 32 M (li. Vorderteil), 50 M (Ärmel), 64 M (Rückenteil), 50 M (Ärmel), 32 M + 6 Blenden-M (re. Vorderteil) = 6+32+50+64+50+32+6=240 M. Kann das Ihnen helfen? Viel Spaß beim stricken!

Hej, i str. 0/1 står det at Strik 6 kantmasker retstrik, strik ret over de næste 63 masker og tag 9 masker ud jævnt fordelt og afslut med 6 kantmasker retstrik = 84 masker. Skal de 9 masker tages ud jævnt fordelt mellem de 75 masker eller de 12 kantmasker tælles ikke i beregningen?

Hello again. Just a clarification on your message of: The instructions state: Work to the marker-stitch, 1 yarn over, knit the marker-stitch, 1 yarn over. So do I knit to the marker, do a yarn-over, move the marker to my right needle, do a yarn over and continue on? Thank you in advance for your message.
14.02.2022 - 19:53DROPS Design answered:
Dear Lizzie, you increase with 1 yarn over on each side of the stitch with the marker, this means work to the stitch with the marker, make 1 yarn over, knit the stitch with the marker (keep the marker in this stitch), make 1 yarn over. Can this help? Hapy knitting!

I am knitting the 12 - 18 month size. At the end of the yoke, I currently have 104 stitches. Then on the button hole row, where you place the markers, and no stitches are added, the placement of the markers appears incorrect. Stitches 6+16+12+32+12+16+6=100, not 104. Thank you in advance for your response.
13.02.2022 - 21:10DROPS Design answered:
Hi Lizzie, Each marker is inserted in the next stitch, so you work the band, 16 stitches and then insert the marker in the next stitch, then work 12 stitches and insert the marker in the next stitch, etc. So the 4 missing stitches are the marker-stitches. Happy knitting!
