------------------------------------------------------- EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN: ------------------------------------------------------- INCREASE TIP FROM THE RIGHT SIDE: Increase towards the left AFTER MARKER: 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 towards the right BEFORE 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 towards the left AFTER MARKER: 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 towards the right BEFORE 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 back piece is worked back and forth with circular needle and top down until the armholes are finished. Stitches are knitted up along each back shoulder for the front piece, then cast on for the neck and the front piece is worked back and forth with circular needle until the armholes are finished. The front and back pieces are joined and the body continued in the round with circular needle. Stitches are knitted up around each armhole and the sleeves worked first back and forth with circular needle for the sleeve cap, then finished in the round with circular needle/ double pointed needles. The neck is worked in the round to finish. BACK PIECE: Cast on 20-20-24-26-26-26 stitches with circular needle size 5 MM = US 8 and 1 strand of each quality (2 strands). Purl 1 row from the wrong side. Insert 1 marker inside the 3 outermost stitches on each side. Keep the markers inside 3 stitches as you work onwards. Work stockinette stitch back and forth. AT THE SAME TIME, increase AFTER the marker at the beginning of the row (from the right side) and BEFORE the marker at the end of the row – 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. Continue increasing, both from the right and wrong side, a total of 14-16-16-16-18-20 times = 48-52-56-58-62-66 stitches. Work 4 rows. Move the markers to the outermost stitch on each side; the piece is now measured from here. REMEMBER THE KNITTING GAUGE! Continue stockinette stitch until the piece measures 5-5-6-7-7-8 cm = 2"-2"-2⅜"-2¾"-2¾"-3⅛", from the markers measured along the armhole. Now increase 1 stitch inside 3 stitches on each side - remember INCREASE TIP FROM THE RIGHT SIDE. Increase every 2nd row (= each row from the right side) 4 times in total = 56-60-64-66-70-74 stitches. Continue working until the piece measures 9-9-10-11-12-12 cm = 3½"-3½"-4"-4⅜"-4¾"-4¾" along the armhole. Cut the strand, place the stitches on a stitch holder and work the front piece. FRONT PIECE: Start with left shoulder (when garment is worn): Knit up 14-16-16-16-18-20 stitches evenly along the left back shoulder, working from the neck to the marker in the side, see D in sketch. Work stockinette stitch back and forth. When the front piece measures 4 cm = 1½", increase 1 stitch at the beginning of each row from the right side (after 3 stitches) - remember INCREASE TIP FROM THE RIGHT SIDE. Increase a total of 4 times = 18-20-20-20-22-24 stitches. Purl back from the wrong side. Cut the strand, place the stitches on a stitch holder and work the right front shoulder. Knit up 14-16-16-16-18-20 stitches evenly along the right back shoulder, working from the marker in the side to the neck, see E in sketch. Work stockinette stitch back and forth. When the front piece measures 4 cm = 1½", increase 1 stitch at the end of each row from the right side (before 3 stitches) - remember INCREASE TIP FROM THE RIGHT SIDE. Increase a total of 4 times = 18-20-20-20-22-24 stitches. Purl back from the wrong side. Now work as follows from the right side: Knit the 18-20-20-20-22-24 stitches from the right front piece, cast on 12-12-16-18-18-18 stitches for the neck, knit the 18-20-20-20-22-24 stitches from the left front piece = 48-52-56-58-62-66 stitches. Continue stockinette stitch back and forth until the piece measures 11-13-14-15-16-18 cm = 4⅜"-5⅛"-5½"-6"-6¼"-7" along the armhole. Now increase 1 stitch inside 3 stitches on each side, remember INCREASE TIP FROM THE RIGHT SIDE. Increase every 2nd row (= each row from the right side) 4 times in total = 56-60-64-66-70-74 stitches. Continue with stockinette stitch until the front piece measures 15-17-18-19-20-22 cm = 6"-6¾"-7"-7½"-8"-8¾". Now join the front and back pieces for the body. BODY: Work the 56-60-64-66-70-74 stitches from the front piece, cast on 6-8-8-8-8-8 stitches (side), work the 56-60-64-66-70-74 stitches from the back piece, cast on 6-8-8-8-8-8 stitches = 124-136-144-148-156-164 stitches. Work stockinette stitch in the round until the piece measures 30-34-38-42-46-49 cm = 11¾"-13⅜"-15"-16½"-18"-19¼", from the top of the shoulder on the front piece. Knit 1 round and increase 20-24-24-28-28-28 stitches evenly spaced = 144-160-168-176-184-192 stitches. Change to circular needle size 3.5 MM = US 4. Work rib (knit 2, purl 2) for 6 cm = 2⅜". Bind off a little loosely. The sweater measures approx. 36-40-44-48-52-55 cm = 14¼"-15¾"-17¼"-19"-20½"-21⅝" from the top of the shoulder and down the front piece. LEFT SLEEVE: Lay piece flat and insert 1 marker on the top of armhole (NB: This is not where the stitches were knitted up for the front piece, but approx. 3-5 cm = 1⅛"-2" down on the front piece, this is the middle of the shoulder). Using circular needle size 5 MM = US 8 and 1 strand of each quality, start in the middle of the new stitches cast on under sleeve and pick up 42-44-46-50-54-56 stitches around armhole – adjust so that there are the same number of stitches along armhole on each side of the marker. Now work stockinette stitch back and forth with short rows over sleeve cap, to give the sleeve a better fit. 1st row (from right side): work 4 stitches after marker, turn. 2nd row (from wrong side): work 4 sts after marker, turn. 3rd row (from right side): work 8 sts after marker, turn. 4th row (from wrong side): work 8 sts after marker, turn. 5th row (from right side): work 12 sts after marker, turn. 6th row (from wrong side): work 12 sts after marker, turn. 7th row (from right side): work to the beginning of the round. Continue working in the round in stocking stitch over all stitches. Insert a marker-thread at the beginning of the round (mid-under sleeve). Allow the marker-thread to follow your work onwards. Work stockinette stitch in the round. When the sleeve measures 5 cm = 2" from the knitted-up stitches, decrease 2 stitches mid-under sleeve – read DECREASE TIP. Decrease like this every 3-4-5-5-4½-5 cm = 1⅛"-1½"-2"-2"-1⅝"-2" a total of 5-5-5-6-7-7 times = 32-34-36-38-40-42 stitches. Continue working until the sleeve measures 20-24-28-32-36-40 cm = 8"-9½"-11"-12½"-14¼"-15¾" from the knitted-up stitches. There is approx. 6 cm = 2⅜" left; try the sweater on and work to desired length before the rib. Knit 1 round and increase 8-6-8-6-8-6 stitches evenly spaced = 40-40-44-44-48-48 stitches. Change to double pointed needles size 3.5 MM = US 4 and work rib (knit 2, purl 2) for 6 cm = 2⅜". Loosely bind off. The sleeve measures approx. 26-30-34-38-42-46 cm = 10¼"-11¾"-13⅜"-15"-16½"-18". RIGHT SLEEVE: Work in the same way as the left sleeve . DOUBLE NECK: Use short circular needle size 3.5 MM = US 4 and 1 strand of each quality. Start on one shoulder and knit up from the right side, inside 1 edge stitch, 68 to 84 stitches around the neck. The stitch-count must be divisible by 4. Work rib in the round (knit 2, purl 2) for 14 cm = 5½". Bind off a little loosely. Fold the neck double to the inside and fasten down with a couple of stitches. |

Wenn ich diese Anleitung in SAFRAN stricken möchte, werden zwei Fäden von SAFRAN gleichzeitig verstrickt, richtig? Wie errechne ich den Verbrauch von SAFRAN, da bei der Originalanleitung ja zwei verschiedene Garne verwendet werden? Besten Dank und Gruß. Uli

Liebe Uli, richtig, diesen Pullover können Sie mit 2 Fäden Safran stricken, benutzen Sie den Garnumrechner um die neue Garnmenge kalkulieren zu lassen. Viel Spaß beim Stricken!

Hej! Jag kan inte sticka armarna med rundstickor, för få maskor, blir inte snyggt med strumpstickor heller. Kan man sticka armen på annat sätt. Annars blir det ingen tröja av det här Med vänlig hälsning, Kerstin

Hej Kerstin, jo du kan strikke rundt på strømpepinde (det gør vi). Eller så kan du vælge at strikke frem og tilbage fra midt under ærmet og sy det sammen bagefter.

Bonjour.\r\nEst-ce que les 6 premières augmentations dos et devant se font côté encolure ?
01.01.2024 - 12:18DROPS Design answered:
Bonjour Mme Guilbaud, je ne suis pas bien sûre de comprendre de quelles augmentations vous parlez, mais vous retrouverez la technique des épaules européennes dans les vidéos en bas de page, vous verrez ainsi comment tricoter ces augmentations au début du dos et du devant. Bon tricot!

Warum wird immer mit zwei Garne gestrickt? Ich habe die Baby Merino und finde hierzu keine Anleitung
13.11.2023 - 18:50DROPS Design answered:
Liebe Sabine, hier finder Sie Pullover, die mit einem Garn der Garngruppe A (mit nur 1 Faden = Maschenprobe von 25-23 Maschen) gestrickt werden, benutzen Sie den Garnumrechner, falls das gewünschte Modell nicht mit Baby Merino gestrickt wird. Viel Spaß beim stricken!
