------------------------------------------------------- EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN: ------------------------------------------------------- RIDGE/GARTER STITCH (worked back and forth): Knit all rows. 1 ridge = Knit 2 rows. PATTERN: See diagrams A.1 to A.3. The diagrams show all rows in the pattern seen from the right side. INCREASE TIP (for sides of back piece, front piece and sleeves). Increase on the inside of the outermost stitch on each side. Increase 1 stitch by making 1 yarn over; on the next row knit the yarn over twisted to avoid a hole. Then work the new stitches in garter stitch and into the pattern as you go. BINDING-OFF TIP: To avoid the bind-off edge being tight you can bind off with a double strand or a larger size needle. ------------------------------------------------------- START THE PIECE HERE: ------------------------------------------------------- SWEATER – SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE: The back and front pieces and the sleeves are worked separately, back and forth with circular needle. All pieces are worked bottom up. The sweater is sewn together before working the neck. BACK PIECE: Use 2 strands of black and cast on 95-105-115-125-140-155 stitches (including 1 edge stitch on each side) with circular needle size 3 mm = US 2,5. Work GARTER STITCH back and forth – read description above, for approx. 2 to 2½ cm = ¾" to 1" with 2 strands of black. Change to circular needle size 3.5 mm = US 4. Remove one strand and continue working with just 1 strand of black. Now start the pepita-pattern as follows from the right side: Work A.1 over 2 stitches, repeat A.2 until there are 3 stitches left on the row, work A.3 over 1 stitch and finish with A.1 over the last 2 stitches. Continue this pattern (A.X is repeated in height as shown in diagram). REMEMBER THE KNITTING GAUGE! When the piece measures 5 cm = 2", increase 1 stitch on each side – read INCREASE TIP. Increase like this every 5-5-5-6-6-6 cm = 2"-2"-2"-2⅜"-2⅜"-2⅜" a total of 5 times on each side = 105-115-125-135-150-165 stitches. When the piece measures 31-32-33-34-35-36 cm = 12¼"-12½"-13"-13⅜"-13¾"-14¼", bind off stitches for the armholes at the beginning of each row on each side as follows: Bind off 3 stitches 1-1-1-2-3-3 times, 2 stitches 2-2-3-3-4-5 times and 1 stitch 3-3-6-8-8-11 times on each side = 85-95-95-95-100-105 stitches. Continue the pattern as before. When the piece measures 48-50-52-54-56-58 cm = 19"-19¾"-20½"-21¼"-22"-22¾", bind off the middle 41-41-41-41-46-51 stitches for the neck and finish each shoulder separately. Continue the pattern as before and bind off at the beginning of each row from the neck as follows: 1 stitch 2 times = 20-25-25-25-25-25 stitches left on the shoulder. Continue working until there is approx. ½ cm = ⅛" left before the piece measures 50-52-54-56-58-60 cm = 19¾"-20½"-21¼"-22"-22¾"-23⅝", but finish after a complete stripe, either of black or raspberry. Change to circular needle size 3 mm = US 2,5; starting from the right side work 1 ridge back and forth over all stitches with black. Bind off with knit from the right side – read BINDING-OFF TIP! Work the other shoulder in the same way. The back piece measures approx. 50-52-54-56-58-60 cm = 19¾"-20½"-21¼"-22"-22¾"-23⅝" from the shoulder down. FRONT PIECE: Use 2 strands of black and cast on 95-105-115-125-140-155 stitches (including 1 edge stitch on each side) with circular needle size 3 mm = US 2,5. Remove the one strand and continue with just 1 strand as follows: Work garter stitch back and forth for approx. 2 to 2½ cm = ¾" to 1". Change to circular needle size 3.5 mm = US 4 and work pattern as follows from the right side: Work A.1 over 2 stitches, repeat A.2 until there are 3 stitches left on the row, work A.3 over 1 stitch and finish with A.1 over the last 2 stitches. Continue this pattern. When the piece measures 5 cm = 2", increase 1 stitch on each side – remember INCREASE TIP. Increase like this every 5-5-5-6-6-6 cm = 2"-2"-2"-2⅜"-2⅜"-2⅜" a total of 5 times on each side = 105-115-125-135-150-165 stitches. When the piece measures 31-32-33-34-35-36 cm = 12¼"-12½"-13"-13⅜"-13¾"-14¼", bind off stitches for the armholes at the beginning of each row on each side as follows: Bind off 3 stitches 1-1-1-2-3-3 times, 2 stitches 2-2-3-3-4-5 times and 1 stitch 3-3-6-8-8-11 times on each side = 85-95-95-95-100-105 stitches. Continue the pattern as before. When the piece measures 44-46-48-49-51-53 cm = 17¼"-18"-19"-19¼"-20"-21", place the middle 33-33-33-33-36-41 stitches on 1 thread for the neck and finish each shoulder separately. Continue the pattern as before and bind off at the beginning of each row from the neck as follows: 2 stitches 2 times and 1 stitch 2-2-2-2-3-3 times = 20-25-25-25-25-25 stitches left on the shoulder. Continue working until there is approx. ½ cm = ⅛" left before the piece measures 50-52-54-56-58-60 cm = 19¾"-20½"-21¼"-22"-22¾"-23⅝" but finish at the same length as the back piece. Change to circular needle size 3 mm = US 2,5; starting from the right side work 1 ridge back and forth over all stitches with black. Bind off with knit from the right side – remember BINDING-OFF TIP! Work the other shoulder in the same way. The front piece measures approx. 50-52-54-56-58-60 cm = 19¾"-20½"-21¼"-22"-22¾"-23⅝" from the shoulder down. SLEEVE: Using 2 strands of black cast on 58-58-62-62-66-66 stitches (including 1 edge stitch on each side) with circular needle size 3 mm = US 2,5. The whole of the rib is worked with 2 strands of black. Purl 1 row (= wrong side). Then work rib (= knit 2 / purl 2) with 1 edge stitch in garter stitch on each side for 6 cm = 2⅜". Knit 1 row from the right side where you decrease 8-8-7-7-6-6 stitches evenly spaced = 50-50-55-55-60-60 stitches. Knit 1 row from the wrong side. Remove the one strand and continue with just 1 strand. Change to circular needle size 3.5 mm = US 4 and work pattern as follows from the right side: Work A.1 over 2 stitches, repeat A.2 until there are 3 stitches left on the row, work A.3 over 1 stitch and finish with A.1 over the last 2 stitches. Continue this pattern. AT THE SAME TIME when the piece measures 7-8-7-8-6-9 cm = 2¾"-3⅛"-2¾"-3⅛"-2⅜"-3½", increase 1 stitch on each side – remember INCREASE TIP. Increase like this every 3-2½-2½-2-2-1½ cm = 1⅛"-1"-1"-¾"-¾"-½" a total of 15-17-18-21-22-24 times = 80-84-91-97-104-108 stitches. Continue working until the piece measures 51-51-51-50-49-47 cm = 20"-20"-20"-19¾"-19¼"-18½" (there is approx. 8-8-9-11-12-14 cm = 3⅛"-3⅛"-3½"-4⅜"-4¾"-5½" left to finished length; the bottom 3 cm = 1⅛" are to be folded up). NOTE: Shorter measurements in larger sizes due to broader shoulders and longer sleeve cap. Now work the sleeve cap by binding off stitches at the beginning of each row on both sides as follows: Bind off 3 stitches 1-1-1-1-1-1 time on each side, 2 stitches 2-2-2-3-3-3 times on both sides and1 stitch 12-12-14-17-20-24 times on each side. Then bind off 2 stitches on each side until the sleeve measures approx. 58-58-59-60-60-60 cm = 22¾"-22¾"-23¼"-23⅝"-23⅝"-23⅝". Bind off 3 stitches 1 time on each side and then bind off the remaining stitches. The sleeve measures approx. 59-59-60-61-61-61 cm = 23¼"-23¼"-23⅝"-24"-24"-24" from the top down. ASSEMBLY: Sew the shoulder seams inside the bind-off edge. Sew in the sleeves inside the 1 edge stitch. Sew the sleeve and side seams in one go inside the 1 edge stitch. Fold up the bottom 3 cm = 1⅛" on the sleeves. NECK: Using 2 strands black and a short circular needle size 3 mm = US 2,5, knit up from the right side approx. 106 to 128 stitches around the neck (including the stitches from the thread in front). Purl 1 round. Knit 1 round where you increase evenly spaced to 124-124-128-132-140-148 stitches (stitch number must be divisible by 4). Work rib in the round (= knit 2 / purl 2) for approx. 3 cm = 1⅛". Bind off with knit over knit and purl over purl. |

Bonjour, C’est mon premier pull en jacquard. Je ne comprends pas comment faire l’échantillon : faut-il prendre 1 fil ou 2 fils ? Combien de rangs mousse et combien en jacquard ? Quel motif faire dans l’échantillon (A.2 uniquement ?) ? Et enfin quelle taille d’aiguille prendre ? Merci par avance ! ☺️

Bonjour Stéphanie, l'échantillon doit être tricoté dans le même motif que le pull, autrement dit, alternativement avec l'une et l'autre couleur, cette vidéo pourra peut-être vous aider. Tricotez cet échantillon avec les aiguilles 3,5. Bon tricot!

Hallo! Bei der Zunahme steht, dass die Maschen kraus rechts in das Muster eingearbeitet werden sollen. Bezieht sich das auf den Mustersatz A.2 oder A.3? Vielen Dank!

Liebe Daniela, stricken Sie die Zunahmen in A.2 (lesen Sie ein neues Rapport links nach rechts am Anfang der Reihe und rechts nach links am Ende der Reihe, aber nach A.3). Viel Spaß beim stricken!
