------------------------------------------------------- EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN: ------------------------------------------------------- PATTERN: See diagrams A.1 to A.3. The diagrams show all rows in the pattern from the right side. INCREASE TIP-1 (evenly spaced): To work out how to increase evenly, count the total number of stitches on the needle (e.g. 111 stitches) minus the bands (e.g. 14 stitches) and divide the remaining stitches by the number of increases to be made (e.g. 15) = 6.5. In this example, increase by making 1 yarn over after alternately each 6th and 7th stitch. Do not increase on the bands. On the next row work the yarn overs twisted to avoid holes. INCREASE TIP-2 (for sides of body): All increases are worked from the right side! Work until there are 2 stitches left before the marker thread, make 1 yarn over, knit 4 (marker thread sits between these 4 stitches) make 1 yarn over. On the next row purl the yarn overs twisted to avoid holes. Then work the new stitches in stockinette stitch. BUTTONHOLES: Work buttonholes on the right band (when the garment is worn). Work from the right side when there are 6 stitches left on the row as follows: Make 1 yarn over, knit 2 together and work as before to the end of the row. On the next row (wrong side), knit the yarn over to leave a hole. The first buttonhole is worked when the rib on the neck measures 2 cm = ¾". Then work the other 5-5-5-6-6-6 buttonholes with approx. 9-9-9½-8½-8½-9 cm = 3½"-3½"-3 5/9"-3¼"-3¼"-3½" between each one. BINDING-OFF TIP: To avoid the bind-off edge being tight you can bind off with a larger size needle. If the edge is still tight, make 1 yarn over after approx. each 3rd or 6th stitch at the same time as binding off; the yarn overs are bind off as normal stitches. ------------------------------------------------------- START THE PIECE HERE: ------------------------------------------------------- JACKET – SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE: The neck and yoke are worked back and forth with circular needle from mid front and top down. Stiches are increased on the shoulders in the lace pattern. The yoke is divided for body and sleeves and the body continued back and forth. The sleeves are worked in the round with short circular needle/double pointed needles, top down. NECK: Cast on 111-114-120-126-129-135 stitches (including 7 band stitches on each side towards mid front) with circular needle size 3 MM = US 2.5 and Sky. Purl 1 row (= wrong side). The next row is worked as follows from the right side: A.1 over the first 7 stitches, * knit 1, purl 2 *, work from *-* until there are 8 stitches left, knit 1 and finish with A.2 over the last 7 stitches. Continue this rib for 2 cm = ¾" – remember the BUTTONHOLES on the right band – read description above. When the rib is finished, knit 1 row from the right side where you increase 15-16-14-28-29-27 stitches evenly spaced – read INCREASE TIP-1 = 126-130-134-154-158-162 stitches. Purl 1 row from the wrong side (yarn overs purled twisted). Change to circular needle size 4 MM = US 6. Insert 1 marker after the band at the beginning of the row; the yoke is measured from this marker! YOKE: Now work pattern as follows: Work A.1 over the first 7 stitches, stockinette stitch over the next 12-13-14-19-20-21 stitches, A.3 over the next 32 stitches, stockinette stitch over the next 24-26-28-38-40-42 stitches, A.3 over the next 32 stitches, stockinette stitch over the next 12-13-14-19-20-21 stitches and finish with A.2 over the last 7 stitches. Continue this pattern back and forth. REMEMBER THE KNITTING GAUGE! When A.3 has been worked 5½-6-6½-6½-7-7½ times in height you have increased 264-288-312-312-336-360 stitches = 390-418-446-466-494-522 stitches on the needle. Continue with stockinette stitch (without further increases and working the bands as before) until the piece measures 24-26-28-30-32-34 cm = 9½"-10¼"-11"-11¾"-12½"-13⅜" from the marker on the neck. On the next row from the wrong side, divide for the body and sleeves as follows: Work the first 7 stitches as before, stockinette stitch over the next 42-46-51-55-60-65 stitches (= front piece), place the next 104-110-114-116-120-124 stitches on a thread for the sleeve, cast on 8-8-8-10-12-14 stitches (= in side under sleeve), stockinette stitch over the next 84-92-102-110-120-130 stitches (= back piece), place the next 104-110-114-116-120-124 stitches on a thread for the sleeve, cast on 8-8-8-10-12-14 stitches (= in side under sleeve), stockinette stitch over the next 42-46-51-55-60-65 stitches and work the last 7 stitches as before (= front piece). Body and sleeves are finished separately. THE PIECE IS NOW MEASURED FROM HERE. BODY: = 198-214-234-254-278-302 stitches. Insert 1 marker thread 53-57-62-67-73-79 stitches in from each side (= sides). There are 92-100-110-120-132-144 stitches between the marker threads on the back piece. Allow the threads to follow your work onwards; they are used when increasing in the sides. Continue back and forth with stockinette stitch and working the bands as before. When the piece measures 4 cm = 1½" from the division, increase 1 stitch on each side of both marker threads – read INCREASE TIP-2. Increase like this every 4 cm = 1½" a total of 4 times = 214-230-250-270-294-318 stitches. Continue working until the piece measures 21 cm = 8¼" from the division – adjust so the next row is worked from the right side. There is approx. 4 cm = 1½" left to finished length; try the jacket on and work to desired length. On the next row increase 23-25-29-33-36-39 stitches evenly spaced = 237-255-279-303-330-357 stitches. Change to circular needle size 3 MM = US 2.5 and work back from the wrong side. Now work rib as follows: A.1, * knit 1, purl 2 *, work from *-* until there are 8 stitches left, knit 1, A.2. Continue this rib for 4 cm = 1½". Bind off with knit over knit and purl over purl – read BINDING-OFF TIP. The jacket measures approx. 52-54-56-58-60-62 cm = 20½"-21¼"-22"-22¾"-23⅝"-24⅜" from the shoulder down. SLEEVES: Place the 104-110-114-116-120-124 stitches from the thread on the one side of the piece on short circular needle size 4 MM = US 6 and knit up 1 stitch in each of the 8-8-8-10-12-14 stitches cast on under the sleeve = 112-118-122-126-132-138 stitches. Work stockinette stitch in the round until the sleeve measures 28-26-25-23-22-20 cm = 11"-10¼"-9¾"-9"-8¾"-8" from the division (shorter measurements in larger sizes due to wider neck and longer yoke). There is approx. 3 cm = 1⅛" left to finished length; try the jacket on and work to desired length. On the next round work as follows: Knit 2, knit all stitches together 2 and 2 until there are 2 stitches left on the round (= 54-57-59-61-64-67 stitches decreased), knit the last 2 stitches = 58-61-63-65-68-71 stitches. Knit 1 round where you adjust the number of stitches to 57-60-63-66-69-72 stitches. Change to double pointed needles size 3 MM = US 2.5 and work rib (knit 1, purl 2) for 3 cm = 1⅛". Bind off with knit over knit and purl over purl – remember BINDING-OFF TIP. The sleeve measures approx. 31-29-28-26-25-23 cm = 12¼"-11⅜"-11"-10¼"-9¾"-9" from the division. Work the other sleeve in the same way. ASSEMBLY: Sew the buttons onto the left band. |

Hi! After A3 I have 174 stitches. How can I continue? Should I start the A3 again from the beginning?
10.09.2023 - 11:54DROPS Design answered:
Dear Riikka, work A.3 from the beginning, right on top of the previous A.3. The new stitches are worked in stocking stitch. Use the marker in the center of top of the shoulder as indicated in the chart to center the following repeats of A.3; you will start the chart 11 stitches before the marker. Happy knitting!

En osaa jatkaa kun piirros on neulottu. Silmukoita nyt 174. Aloitanko piirroksen alusta vai jatkanko lisäämällä välisilmukoita ja tekemällä reiät suhteessa entisiin
24.08.2023 - 10:51DROPS Design answered:
Hei, piirros aloitetaan alusta ja se neulotaan piirroksen A.3 edellisen mallikerran yläpuolella. Lisätyillä silmukoilla neulotaan sileää neuletta. Katso myös piirroksen merkki (olan keskikohta), laske siitä seuraavan mallikerran alku (aloita 11 silmukkaa ennen merkkiä).

Bonjour Lilli, tricotez ainsi, sur l'endroit: A.1 (= 7 mailles endroit), côtes 1 m endroit, 2 m envers jusqu'à ce qu'il reste 8 mailles, tricotez 1 m endroit et terminez par A.2 (= 7 m endroit). Sur l'envers tricotez: A.2 (= 2 m env, 2 m end, 1 m env, 2 m end), tricotez les mailles des côtes comme elles se présentent (= 1 m env/2 m end) jusqu'à ce qu'il reste 8 m, tricotez 1 m env et A.1 (= 2 m end, 1 m env, 2 m end, 2 m env). Répétez ces 2 rangs jusqu'à ce que les côtes mesurent 2 cm. Bon tricot!

Hej! När A3 är stickad 1 gång på höjden har jag 174m. Hur får jag in de extra m i mönstret då jag ska upprepa A3? Stickas alla nya räta eller ska jag själv lägga in nya hål? /Ewa
13.02.2022 - 12:22DROPS Design answered:
Hej Ewa, du strikker kun det mønster og huller som allerede er i diagrammet, alle de nye udtagninger strikkes i glatstrik. God fornøjelse!

Bonjour, pourriez-vous m'indiquer comment enchainer le A3 svp? je viens de le tricoter les 12 rangs que comporte le schéma A3. Dois-je recommencer ce même schéma à partir de la ligne 1 -(sur 32mailles) ou uniquement les 2 dernières (? je ne comprends pas comment avancer dans les augmentations si je reprends la totalité des rangs. MERCI BEAUCOUP POUR VOTRE AIDE
24.01.2022 - 18:12DROPS Design answered:
Bonjour Isabel, vous devez répéter entièrement A.3, autrement dit les 12 rangs de A.3, sur 32 mailles; la maille avec votre marqueur au milieu de votre dernier A.3 doit être celle au milieu du A.3 suivant. Bon tricot!

På bærestykke skal det strikkast 6 gonger A3. Må eg sjølv rekne ut kor mange masker det skal vere før felling og kast på A3?
22.11.2021 - 20:37DROPS Design answered:
Hei Hege, Hvis du leser A.3 fra høyre til venstre (fra retten; leser fra venstre til høyre fra vrangen) og bunnen opp vil du få økninger og fellinger på riktig plass i mønsteret. God fornøyelse!

Hej, Jeg er ved at strikke denne trøje i str xl. Når A3 er strikket en gang, og man skal til at strikke den igen, hvad skal man så strikke alle de nye masker? Er det rygstykket der bliver bredere,- så de 38 masker der er imellem a3’erne skal øges? Eller er det de 19 masker efter A1/før A2?
