------------------------------------------------------- EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN: ------------------------------------------------------- GARTER STITCH (worked back and forth): Knit all rows. 1 ridge = knit 2 rows. PATTERN: See diagrams A.1 and A.2. Diagrams show all the rows, seen from the right side. INCREASE TIP FROM THE RIGHT SIDE: Increase to the left AFTER the marker/3 stitches: Use left needle to pick up thread between 2 stitches from row below, pick up thread from front and knit stitch in back loop Increase to the right BEFORE the marker: Use left needle to pick up thread between 2 stitches from row below, pick up thread from behind and knit stitch in front loop. INCREASE TIP FROM THE WRONG SIDE: Increase to the left AFTER the marker/3 stitches: Use left needle to pick up thread between 2 stitches from row below, pick up thread from behind and purl stitch in front loop. Increase to the right BEFORE the marker: Use left needle to pick up thread between 2 stitches from row below, pick up thread from front and purl stitch in back loop. DECREASE TIP (for sleeves): Decrease 1 stitch on each 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 knit-wise, knit 1 and pass the slipped stitch over the knitted stitch. ------------------------------------------------------- START THE PIECE HERE: ------------------------------------------------------- SWEATER – SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE: The top of the back piece is worked back and forth with circular needle until the armholes are finished. Stitches are knitted up for the front piece along each back shoulder and worked back and forth with circular needle until the armholes are finished. The pieces are joined and the body continued in the round with circular needle, then divided for a split in each side. Stitches are knitted up around the armholes and the sleeves worked in the round with circular needle / double pointed needles. The neck is worked to finish. BACK PIECE: Cast on 30-30-32-34-34-34 stitches with circular needle size 7 MM = US 10.75, 1 strand DROPS Alpaca Bouclé and 1 strand DROPS Kid-Silk. Purl 1 row from the wrong side. Insert 1 marker inside the 7 outermost stitches on each side and make sure the markers stay in this position. Work as follows: 1 edge stitch in GARTER STITCH – see description above, A.1, increase 1 stitch AFTER the marker, work stockinette stitch until there are 7 stitches left, increase 1 stitch BEFORE the marker, work A.2 and 1 edge stitch in garter stitch - read INCREASE TIP FROM THE RIGHT SIDE. On the next row (wrong side) increase in the same way – read INCREASE TIP FROM THE WRONG SIDE. Increase from both the right and wrong side a total of 18-20-22-22-24-28 times. After the last increase there are 66-70-76-78-82-90 stitches. Continue with 1 edge stitch in garter stitch on each side, A.1, A.2 and stockinette stitch. When you have worked 4 rows without increasing, insert 1 marker in each side. The piece is now measured from here! REMEMBER THE KNITTING GAUGE! Work until the piece measures 14-15-15-16-17-17 cm = 5½"-6"-6"-6¼"-6¾"-6¾", measured from the marker and along the armhole. Cut the strand and place the stitches on a stitch holder. FRONT PIECE: Start with left shoulder (when garment is worn): Knit up 18-20-22-22-24-28 stitches inside 1 stitch along the top of the left shoulder on the back piece, starting by the neck and knitting up stitches as far as the marker on the back piece (approx. 1 stitch in each row). Work stockinette stitch back and forth. When the piece measures 7 cm = 2¾" from the knitted-up stitches, increase at the beginning of each row from the right side for the neckline; increase after the 3 stitches - remember INCREASE TIP FROM THE RIGHT SIDE. Increase 1 stitch 4 times = 22-24-26-26-28-32 stitches. Lay the piece to one side after a row from the wrong side and work the right shoulder. Knit up 18-20-22-22-24-28 stitches inside 1 stitch along the top of the right shoulder on the back piece, starting by the marker on the back piece and knitting up stitches as far as the neck (approx. 1 stitch in each row). Work stockinette stitch back and forth. When the piece measures 7 cm = 2¾" from the knitted-up stitches, increase at the end of each row from the right side for the neckline; increase before the 3 stitches - remember INCREASE TIP FROM THE RIGHT SIDE. Increase 1 stitch 4 times = 22-24-26-26-28-32 stitches. After the last increase work back from the wrong side. Work as follows from the right side: Stockinette stitch over the right front piece, cast on 18-18-20-22-22-22 stitches for the neckline and work stockinette stitch over the left front piece = 62-66-72-74-78-86 stitches. NOTE! There are 4 more stitches on the back piece than the front piece as the cables tighten the fabric slightly. Work stockinette stitch back and forth until the piece measures 24-25-27-28-29-31 cm = 9½"-9¾"-10⅝"-11"-11⅜"-12¼", measured along the armhole. Now join the front and back pieces. BODY: Work stockinette stitch over the 62-66-72-74-78-86 stitches on the front piece, cast on 4-4-4-8-12-12 stitches (under the sleeve) work stockinette stitch and pattern over the 66-70-76-78-82-90 stitches on the back piece and cast on 4-4-4-8-12-12 stitches = 136-144-156-168-184-200 stitches. Insert 1 marker in the middle of the new stitches under each sleeve; they are used later when working the split in each side. Work stockinette stitch, A.1 and A.2 as before until the piece measures 50-52-54-56-58-60 cm = 19¾"-20½"-21¼"-22"-22¾"-23⅝", measured from the top front shoulder. Now divide for the split in each side. Place the 70-74-80-86-94-102 stitches from the back piece on a stitch holder and work the front piece. FRONT PIECE: 66-70-76-82-90-98 stitches. Knit 1 row from the right side and increase 8-8-6-8-8-12 stitches evenly spaced = 74-78-82-90-98-110 stitches. Work as follows from the wrong side: 2 edge stitches in garter stitch, * purl 2, knit 2 *, work from *-* until there are 4 stitches left, purl 2 and 2 edge stitches in garter stitch. Continue this rib for 6 cm = 2⅜". Bind off. BACK PIECE: Place the stitches on circular needle size 6 MM = US 10 = 70-74-80-86-94-102 stitches. Knit 1 row from the right side and increase 8-8-6-8-8-12 stitches evenly spaced = 78-82-86-94-102-114 stitches. Work as follows from the wrong side: 2 edge stitches in garter stitch, * purl 2, knit 2 *, work from *-* until there are 4 stitches left, purl 2 and 2 edge stitches in garter stitch. Continue this rib for 6 cm = 2⅜". Bind off. The sweater measures approx. 56-58-60-62-64-66 cm = 22"-22¾"-23⅝"-24⅜"-25¼"-26", measured from the top of the shoulder. LEFT SLEEVE: Use circular needle size 7 MM = US 10.75 and knit up from the right side 32-34-36-38-40-40 stitches from the bottom of the armhole and up the front piece to the shoulder, then 18-18-18-20-20-22 stitches from the shoulder and down the back piece = 50-52-54-58-60-62 stitches. Insert 1 marker in the middle of the stitches picked up. Work now back and forth in stockinette stitch with short rows for the sleeve cap, to gives a better shape to the sleeve. 1st row (from wrong side): work to 12 stitches after marker, turn. 2nd row (from right side): work to 12 stitches after marker, turn. 3rd row (from wrong side): work to 14 stitches after marker, turn. 4th row (from right side): work to 14 stitches after marker, turn. 5th row (from wrong side): work to 18 stitches after marker, turn. 6th row (from right side): work to 18 stitches after marker, turn. 7th row (from wrong side): work to the beginning of the row. Work stockinette stitch back and forth for 6-6-6-7-9-9 cm = 2⅜"-2⅜"-2⅜"-2¾"-3½"-3½", measure from where the stitches were picked up (all length are measured mid on top of sleeve). Now join the sleeve and continue in the round with short circular needle/double pointed needles. Insert 1 marker-thread at the beginning of the round (mid-under sleeve). Allow the thread to follow your work onwards. Start at the marker-thread and continue stockinette stitch in the round. When the sleeve measures 8-8-8-8-9-11 cm = 3⅛"-3⅛"-3⅛"-3⅛"-3½"-4⅜" from the knitted-up stitches, decrease 2 stitches under the sleeve – read DECREASE TIP. Decrease like this every 10-10-10-7-7-6 cm = 4"-4"-4"-2¾"-2¾"-2⅜" a total of 4-4-4-5-5-5 times = 42-44-46-48-50-52 stitches. Continue working until the sleeve measures 42-42-42-41-40-38 cm = 16½"-16½"-16½"-16⅛"-15¾"-15". There is approx. 6 cm = 2⅜" left. Try the sweater on and work to desired length before the rib. Knit 1 round and increase 6-4-6-4-6-4 stitches evenly spaced = 48-48-52-52-56-56 stitches. Change to double pointed needles size 6 MM = US 10. Work rib (knit 2, purl 2) for 6 cm = 2⅜". Bind off a little loosely. The sleeve measures approx. 48-48-48-47-46-44 cm = 19"-19"-19"-18½"-18"-17¼". RIGHT SLEEVE: Work in the same way as the left sleeve but knit up 18-18-18-20-20-22 stitches from the bottom of the armhole and up the back piece to the shoulder, then 32-34-36-38-40-40 stitches from the shoulder down the front piece. Sew together the openings under the sleeves – see sketch. NECK: Start on one shoulder, knit up from the right side and inside the 1 edge stitch, 72 to 96 stitches with short circular needle size 6 MM = US 10. Work rib in the round (knit 2, purl 2) for 8 cm = 3⅛". Bind off loosely. |
