------------------------------------------------------- EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN: ------------------------------------------------------- PATTERN: See diagrams A.1 to A.4. Find your size in the diagrams. INCREASE TIP-1 (evenly spaced): To work out how to increase evenly, count the total number of stitches on the needle (e.g. 76 stitches) and divide by the number of increases to be made (e.g. 6) = 12.6. In this example, increase by making 1 yarn over after alternately each 12th and 13th stitch. On the next round knit the yarn overs twisted to avoid holes. INCREASE TIP-2 (for sides of body): Work until there is 1 stitch left before the marker thread, make 1 yarn over, knit 2 (marker thread sits between these 2 stitches) make 1 yarn over. On the next round knit the yarn overs twisted to avoid holes. Then work the new stitches in stockinette stitch (= 4 increased stitches on the round). RAGLAN (for sleeves): Increase 1 stitch on each side of the sleeve inside the marker thread and 1 knitted stitch (= 4 stitches increased on round + the stitches which are increased in the diagrams on the front and back pieces). Increase 1 stitch by making 1 yarn over. On the next round knit the yarn overs twisted to avoid holes. Then work the new stitches in stockinette stitch. 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 as if to knit, knit 1 and pass the slipped stitch over the knitted stitch. ------------------------------------------------------- START THE PIECE HERE: ------------------------------------------------------- SWEATER – SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE: The neck, yoke and body are worked in the round with circular needle, from the transition between the left sleeve and the back piece, top down. The yoke is divided for body and sleeves and the body continued in the round with circular needle. The sleeves are worked in the round with short circular needle/double pointed needles, top down. NECK: Cast on 76-80-84-88-88-92 stitches with circular needle size 4 mm = US 6 and 1 strand Alpaca + 1 strand Kid-Silk (= 2 strands). Knit 1 round, then work rib (= knit 2 / purl 2) for 3 cm = 1⅛". Knit 1 round where you increase 6-6-2-2-2-2 stitches evenly spaced – read INCREASE TIP-1 = 82-86-86-90-90-94 stitches. Knit 1 round (yarn overs knitted twisted). Change to circular needle size 5 mm = US 8 and insert 1 marker at the beginning of the round (in the transition between left sleeve and back piece); the yoke is measured from this marker! YOKE: Now work pattern as follows: Work A.1a over the first 3 stitches, A.1b over the next 28 stitches (= 2 repeats in width), A.1c over the next 2 stitches, insert a marker thread here (= in the transition between back piece and right sleeve), knit 1, make 1 yarn over, knit 6-8-8-10-10-12, make 1 yarn over, knit 1, insert a marker thread here (= in the transition between right sleeve and front piece), work A.1a over the next 3 stitches, A.1b over the next 28 stitches (= 2 repeats in width), A.1c over the next 2 stitches, insert a marker thread here (= in the transition between front piece and left sleeve), knit 1, make 1 yarn over, knit 6-8-8-10-10-12, make 1 yarn over, knit 1. There is now 1 marker thread in each transition between body and sleeves (= 4 marker threads – allow them to follow your work onwards). In addition to the increases in the diagrams, you have increased 1 stitch on each side of the sleeves to RAGLAN – read description above. REMEMBER THE KNITTING GAUGE!! Continue this pattern in the round and increase to raglan on the sleeves every 2nd round 18-19-22-21-20-20 more times and then every 4th round 2-2-2-3-5-6 times (= a total of 21-22-25-25-26-27 increases on each side of each sleeve). When A.1a to A.1c have been completed in height, continue the pattern in the same way (i.e. work A.1a and A.1c towards the raglan on the sides of the front and back pieces, leaf pattern as before between these diagrams on the front and back pieces and stockinette stitch on the sleeves) until you have worked 36-46-48-48-48-48 rounds of pattern in height and there are 75-85-89-89-89-89 stitches on the front and back pieces. There are now 3-4-4-4-5-5 leaves along the raglan. Continue in the different sizes as follows: Size M: Continue the leaf pattern in the same way, but towards the marker threads in each raglan (on front and back pieces) work pattern A.2 (i.e., do not increase any more stitches to raglan). There are 85 stitches on the front and back pieces. When you have worked up to and including the arrow in the diagram (and all the increases on the sleeves are finished), there are 278 stitches on the needle. The piece should measure approx. 22 cm = 8¾". If the piece is shorter than this continue working leaf pattern to the correct length (without further increases to raglan). Sizes S, L, XL, XXL and XXXL: Continue the leaf pattern in the same way, but towards the marker threads in each raglan (on front and back pieces) work pattern as shown in A.2a and A.2c (do not work new leaves towards raglan but work stockinette stitch and in sizes L, XL, XXL and XXXL a small lace pattern between the outermost leaf and the increases to raglan as shown in A.2a/A.2c). When all the increases are finished there are 81-95-97-105-109 stitches on the front and back pieces. When you have worked up to and including the arrow in the diagram (and all the increases on the sleeves are finished) there are 262-310-318-338-354 stitches on the needle. The piece should measure approx. 21-25-25-28-30 cm = 8¼"-9¾"-9¾"-11"-11¾". If the piece is shorter than this continue working leaf pattern to the correct length (without further increases to raglan). ALL SIZES: Now work the next round (= the round after the round with the arrow) as follows: Work the first 81-85-95-97-106-112 stitches (= back piece), place the next 50-54-60-62-62-62 stitches on a thread for the sleeve and cast on 4-8-8-12-14-14 new stitches on the needle (= in side under sleeve), work the next 81-85-95-97-107-115 stitches (= front piece), place the next 50-54-60-62-62-62 stitches on a thread for the sleeve and cast on 4-8-8-12-14-14 new stitches on the needle (= in side under sleeve). In sizes XXL and XXXL there are 1-3 stitches left on the round. Knit these stitches – they belong to the back piece = 81-85-95-97-107-115 stitches on the back piece. Cut the strand. Body and sleeves are finished separately. THE PIECE IS NOW MEASURED FROM HERE! BODY: There are 170-186-206-218-242-258 stitches on the body. Insert a marker thread in the middle of the 4-8-8-12-14-14 stitches cast on under each sleeve (= 2-4-4-6-7-7 new stitches on each side of the thread). Start at one of the marker threads and work as follows – NOTE: The pattern should fit over the pattern from the yoke; adjust so you start on the right round in the diagrams: *Knit 12-2-7-10-9-13, work A.3a over the next 17 stitches, leaf pattern as before over the next 28-56-56-56-70-70 stitches (= 2-4-4-4-5-5 repeats), A.3c over the next 16 stitches, knit 12-2-7-10-9-13 (marker thread here) *, work from *-* 1 more time on the round. AT THE SAME TIME when the piece measures 4 cm = 1½" increase 2 stitches in each side – read INCREASE TIP-2. Repeat the increase when the piece measures 12 cm = 4¾" = 178-194-214-226-250-266 stitches. When the piece measures approx. 17-16-14-13-15-14 cm = 6¾"-6¼"-5½"-5⅛"-6"-5½" – adjust so you finish after a round like round 12 in A.1b, there is approx. 5 cm = 2" of pattern left and 5-6-7-9-6-7 cm = 2"-2⅜"-2¾"-3½"-2⅜"-2¾" left of stockinette stitch before the rib at the bottom of the piece. Now work A.4a over A.3a, A.4c over A.3c and A.4b over A.1b. When the diagrams have been completed in height, work stockinette stitch until the body measures 27-27-26-27-26-26 cm = 10⅝"-10⅝"-10¼"-10⅝"-10¼"-10¼". Knit 1 round where you increase 26-30-34-34-38-42 stitches evenly spaced = 204-224-248-260-288-308 stitches. Change to circular needle size 4 mm = US 6 and work rib (= knit 2 / purl 2) for 4 cm = 1½". Bind off with knit over knit and purl over purl. The sweater measures approx. 54-56-58-60-62-64 cm = 21¼"-22"-22¾"-23⅝"-24⅜"-25¼" from the shoulder down. SLEEVE: Place the 50-54-60-62-62-62 stitches from the thread on the one side of the piece on short circular needle/double pointed needles size 5 mm = US 8 and knit up 1 stitch in each of the 4-8-8-12-14-14 stitches cast on under the sleeve = 54-62-68-74-76-76 stitches. Insert a marker thread in the middle of the new stitches (2-4-4-6-7-7 new stitches on each side of the thread). Work stockinette stitch in the round. When the sleeve measures 4 cm = 1½", decrease 2 stitches under the sleeve – read DECREASE TIP. Decrease like this every 3½-2½-2-1½-1½-1½ cm = 1¼"-⅞"-¾"-½"-½" a total of 9-13-15-17-17-16 times = 36-36-38-40-42-44 stitches. When the sleeve measures 37-37-35-36-34-33 cm = 14½"-14½"-13¾"-14¼"-13⅜"-13", knit 1 round where you increase 4-4-6-4-6-4 stitches evenly spaced = 40-40-44-44-48-48 stitches. Change to double pointed needles size 4 mm = US 6 and work rib (= knit 2 / purl 2) for 4 cm = 1½". Bind off with knit over knit and purl over purl. Work the other sleeve in the same way. |

Hvordan kan i få så bred en galskaber med Max 92 masker. Min sidder tættere på selve halsen, hvor det på billede er mere ud mod skulderen

Hej Jeanette, hvis du vil have halsen bredere kan du slå op med dobbelt garn, så bliver den mere elastisk :)

Hej Lotta, du strikker ifølge diagrammet med start nederst i højre side. Den økede maske strikkes ret på næste varv, så på varv 2 blir det; 1rm, 1am, 1rm, 1rm osv :)

I can see now than there is a difference between patterns in English(GBP/EUR) and English(USD/CAD). Maybe the pattern is not updated in English(GBP/EUR).

Dear Mrs Chatzichronoglou, can you tell us which kind of difference you noticed between both patterns so that we could check which one is the right one and edit the other one? Thanks for your help!

Hello! I cannot understand how to work A.1a in 17 sts when A.1a is worked in 3 sts as shown in the diagram. The same is for A.1b which I should work in 16sts and the diagram shows A.1b in 14 sts. I shoud count the yo in these sts? Also, I cannot see where I have to work A.1c and I cannot see any arrow in sizes S,M for A.1a and A.1b. Maybe the pattern is not updated? Thank you

Dear Mrs Chatzichronoglou, after diagrams have been worked one time in height, work A.1a (3 sts) over the first of the 17 sts previous A.1a and work A.1b over the next 14 sts previous A.1a, then repeat A.1b as before, and work one more A.1b over the first 14 sts previous A.1c, and finish with the 2 sts A.1c over the last 2 sts previous A.1c - that way you work A.1b 2 more times in width. Hope it can help. Happy knitting!

Vielen Dank für die schnelle Antwort. ... Aber A4 kam bisher in der Anleitung noch gar nicht vor....? Leider verstehe ich Ihre Antwort nicht... Ich weiß nicht, wo genau A2a und A2c hin müssen, da die Maschenanzahl dieser Diagrammen nirgends hin zu passen scheint.... VG Coco

Liebe Frau Reicherter, oops es war einen Tippfehler, entschuldigung, es sollte A.2a über A.1a A.2c über A.1c sein, so stricken Sie: A.2a über die ersten Maschen vom vorrigen A.1a, die Blätter stricken Sie wie zuvor bis die letzten Maschen A.1c, wo Sie dann A.2c stricken. Viel Spaß beim stricken!

Danke für die Antwort. Jetzt bin ich mit A.1a bis A.1c 2x durch. Maschenanzahl stimmt, aber ich habe 3,5 Blätter an jeder Ragelanlinie, nicht 4! Und jetzt soll es am Rand mit A.2a und A.2b weiter gehen. Die haben aber 10 bzw. 9 Maschen. Wo kommen die her? Oder müssen erst die Reihen 1-12 von A.1a und A.1c nochmal gestrickt werden und dann erst A.2a und A.2b? Danke für eure Antwort. VG Coco
26.09.2022 - 15:11DROPS Design answered:
Liebe Coco, in XL stricken Sie 48 Runden im Muster, dh die Diagramme A.1a bis A.1c stricken Sie 2 Mal in der Höhe , 2 Mal die Diagramme sind 4 Blätter - das 4. Blatt enden Sie in A.2a/c gleichzeitig als Sie das 5. Blatt anfangen sollten. A.2a wird jetzt über die ersten Maschen vorrigen A.4 und A.2c über die letzten Maschen A.1c gestrickt. Dazwischen stricken Sie die Blätter wie zuvor. Viel Spaß beim stricken!

Hallo :-) der Pulli sieht toll aus und ich habe gerade angefangen zu streichen - und leider schon eine Frage. Man soll für Größe XL 88 Maschen für die Halsblende anschlagen. Das scheint mir sehr eng... Ob da überhaupt der Kopf durch passt? Auf dem Foto sieht der Halsausschnitt recht weit aus.... Vielen Dank im Voraus für eure Antwort. VG Coco
20.09.2022 - 20:36DROPS Design answered:
Liebe Coco, sollte Ihre Maschenprobe stimmen, dann sollten Sie die korrekte Breite für den Halsauschnitt bekommen - sollte es immer noch zu eng für Sie sein, können Sie dann gerne die Maschenanzahl entsprechend anpassen und dann vor der Passe anpassen. Viel Spaß beim stricken!

Hallo,\r\nDanke nochmal, das war mein Fehler, ich stricke doch XXL und nicht XXXL, also stimmen meine Maschenzahl mit der Vorlage überein 😄 Ich wünsche Ihnen noch ein schönes Wochenende Veronika

Hallo, Eine Frage, wo kommen die Maschen her, nach Aufteilung + 14Maschen habe ich auf jede Seite 121 also 242 und nicht 258,habe ich wieder ein Denkfehler. Mit den Angaben alle Größen (115+3 auf jeder Seite) stimmt es noch und beim Rumpfteil stehen auf einmal 258??Danke für eine kurze Antwort 🤗

Liebe Veronika, bei XXXL haben Sie je 115 Maschen für Rücken und Vorderteil + 14 neuen angeschlagen Maschen bei jeder Ärmel so bekommen Sie: 115+14+115+14=258 Maschen. Viel Spaß beim stricken!
