------------------------------------------------------- EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN: ------------------------------------------------------- RIDGE/GARTER STITCH (worked back and forth): Knit all rows. 1 ridge in height = Knit 2 rows. PATTERN: See diagrams A.1 and A.2. Choose diagram for your size (applies to A.2). The diagrams show all rows in the pattern from the right side. MOSS STITCH: ROW 1: * Knit 1, purl 1 *, work from *-*. ROW 2: Purl over knit and knit over purl Repeat row 2. INCREASE TIP (for sleeves): Increase on the inside of the edge stitch. All increases are worked from the right side! Increase 1 stitch by making 1 yarn over. On the next row work the yarn over twisted to avoid a hole. Then work the new stitch into A.1. BUTTONHOLES: Work buttonholes on the right band from the right side. 1 BUTTONHOLE = knit the third and fourth stitch from the edge together and make 1 yarn over. On the next row knit the yarn over to leave a hole. Work the buttonholes when the piece measures: S: 2, 11, 20 and 29 cm = ¾", 4⅜", 8" and 11⅜". M: 2, 12, 21 and 31 cm = ¾", 4¾", 8¼" and 12¼". L: 2, 10, 18, 26 and 34 cm = ¾", 4", 7", 10¼" and 13⅜". XL: 2, 10, 19, 27 and 36 cm = ¾", 4", 7½", 10⅝" and 14¼". XXL: 2, 10, 19, 27 and 36 cm = ¾", 4", 7½", 10⅝" and 14¼". XXXL: 2, 11, 20, 29 and 38 cm = ¾", 4⅜", 8", 11⅜" and 15". NOTE: The last buttonhole, which is not described here, is worked on the neck. 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 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 piece is worked in sections, back and forth with circular needle and bottom up. The piece is sewn together and a ribbed neck is worked to finish. BACK PIECE: Cast on 101-113-119-131-143-155 stitches (including 1 edge stitch on each side) with circular needle size 3 MM = US 2.5 and Cotton Light or Sky. Purl 1 row (= wrong side). The next row is worked as follows from the right side: 1 edge stitch in GARTER STITCH – read description above, * knit 1, purl 1 *, work from *-* until there are 2 stitches left, knit 1 and 1 edge stitch in garter stitch. Continue this rib for 2 cm = ¾". Change to circular needle size 4 MM = US 6 and work 2 rows of stockinette stitch with 1 edge stitch in garter stitch on each side. Continue as follows from the right side: 1 edge stitch in garter stitch, work A.1 until there are 4 stitches left on the row (= 16-18-19-21-23-25 repeats of 6 stitches), work the first 3 stitches in A.1 so the pattern is symmetrical and finish with 1 edge stitch in garter stitch. Continue this pattern. REMEMBER THE KNITTING GAUGE! When the piece measures 26-27-28-29-30-31 cm = 10¼"-10⅝"-11"-11⅜"-11¾"-12¼", bind off for the armholes at the beginning of each row as follows: Bind off 3 stitches 1-1-1-1-2-2 times, 2 stitches 0-1-1-3-3-4 times and 1 stitch 2-4-5-5-6-8 times on each side = 91-95-99-103-107-111 stitches. When the piece measures 43-45-47-49-51-53 cm = 17"-17¾"-18½"-19¼"-20"-21", bind off the middle 33-33-35-35-37-37 stitches for the neck and each shoulder is finished separately. Continue the pattern and bind off 2 stitches on the next row from the neck = 27-29-30-32-33-35 stitches on the shoulder. Continue working until the piece measures 44-46-48-50-52-54 cm = 17¼"-18"-19"-19¾"-20½"-21¼". Knit 1 row from the right side and knit 1 row from the wrong side. Bind off with knit from the right side. Work the other shoulder in the same way. The back piece measures approx. 45-47-49-51-53-55 cm = 17¾"-18½"-19¼"-20"-21"-21⅝" from the shoulder down. RIGHT FRONT PIECE: Cast on 60-66-68-74-80-86 stitches (including 5 band stitches towards mid front and 1 edge stitch towards the side) with circular needle size 3 MM = US 2.5 and Cotton Light or Sky. Purl 1 row (= wrong side). The next row is worked as follows from the right side (i.e. from mid front): Work 5 band stitches in MOSS STITCH – read description above, * knit 1, purl 1 *, work from *-* until there is 1 stitch left and finish with 1 edge stitch in garter stitch. Continue this rib for 2 cm = ¾". Change to circular needle size 4 MM = US 6. Work 2 rows of stockinette stitch with 5 band stitches in moss stitch towards mid front and 1 edge stitch in garter stitch towards the side; at the same time decrease 1-1-0-0-0-0 stitch on the first row = 59-65-68-74-80-86 stitches. Remember the BUTTONHOLES on the band – read description above. Then work as follows from the right side (i.e. from mid-front): 5 band stitches in moss stitch, work A.2 (= 25-25-25-29-29-29 stitches), 1-1-4-0-0-0 stitches in stockinette stitch, work A.1 until there are 4 stitches left (= 4-5-5-6-7-8 repeats of 6 stitches), work the first 3 stitches in A.1 and finish with 1 edge stitch in garter stitch.

On the next row from the right side place the first 11-11-12-12-13-13 stitches on a thread for the neck; to avoid having to cut the strand work the stitches before placing them on the thread. Continue the pattern and bind off for the neck at the beginning of each row from the neck as follows: Bind off 3 stitches 1 time, 2 stitches 3 times and 1 stitch 3 times = 29-31-32-34-35-37 stitches left on the shoulder.

Knit 1 row from the wrong side. Bind off with knit from the right side. The front piece measures approx. 45-47-49-51-53-55 cm = 17¾"-18½"-19¼"-20"-21"-21⅝". SLEEVE: Cast on 46-48-50-52-54-56 stitches (including 1 edge stitch on each side) with circular needle size 3 MM = US 2.5 and Cotton Light or Sky. Purl 1 row (= wrong side). Then work rib (knit 1, purl 1) with 1 edge stitch in garter stitch on each side for 2 cm = ¾". Change to circular needle size 4 MM = US 6. Work 2 rows of stockinette stitch with 1 edge stitch in garter stitch on each side. Then continue as follows (row 1 = right side): 1 edge stitch in garter stitch, 1-2-0-1-2-0 stitches in stockinette stitch, work A.1 until there are 2-3-1-2-3-1 stitches left on the row, work 1-2-0-1-2-0 stitches in stockinette stitch and 1 edge stitch in garter stitch. Continue this pattern. When the sleeve measures 4-4-8-5-9-6 cm = 1½"-1½"-3⅛"-2"-3½"-2⅜", increase 1 stitch on each side – read INCREASE TIP. Increase like this every 3-2½-2-2-1½-1½ cm = 1⅛"-1"-¾"-¾"-½"-½" a total of 14-16-17-19-20-22 times on each side = 74-80-84-90-94-100 stitches. When the sleeve measures 45-44-44-43-41-40 cm = 17¾"-17¼"-17¼"-17"-16⅛"-15¾" (shorter measurements in larger sizes due to longer sleeve cap and broader shoulders), bind off for the sleeve cap at the beginning of each row as follows: Bind off 3 stitches 1-1-1-1-2-2 times, 2 stitches 2-2-2-3-3-3 times and 1 stitch 2-4-4-4-6-7 times on each side. Then bind off 2 stitches on each side until the sleeve measures 50 cm = 19¾" in all sizes. Bind off 3 stitches 1 time on each side. Then bind off the remaining stitches. The sleeve measures approx. 51 cm = 20" from the top down in all sizes. Work the other sleeve in the same way. ASSEMBLY: Sew the shoulder seams inside the bind-off edges. Sew the sleeves to the body, inside the 1 edge stitch on the body. Sew the sleeve and side seams in one go, inside the 1 edge stitch. NECK: Start from the right side and knit up 101 to 115 stitches around the neck (including the stitches from the threads in front) with circular needle size 3 MM = US 2.5 and Cotton Light or Sky – the number of stitches should be divisible by 2 + 1. The first row is worked as follows from the wrong side: 5 band stitches in moss stitch, * purl 1, knit 1 *, work from *-* until there are 6 stitches left, purl 1 and finish with 5 band stitches in moss stitch. Continue this rib for 3 cm = 1⅛", but after 1 cm = ⅜" work the last buttonhole on the right band. When the neck is finished, bind off with knit over knit and purl over purl – read BINDING-OFF TIP! Sew the buttons onto the left band. |

Dear Mrs Gapes, work row 1, 2, 4,5,6,7,8,10,11,12 in stocking stitch (= K from RS, P from WS), and work row 3 as follows: (K1, P1, K4), repeat from (to), and end with first 3 sts (= K1, P1, K1). Work row 9 as follows: (K4, P1, K1), repeat from (to) and end with first 3 sts (= K3). Happy knitting!

Bonjour, je n'ai pas compris cette partie Continuer sur l'endroit ainsi: 1 maille lisière au point mousse, répéter A.1 jusqu'à ce qu'il reste 4 mailles (= 16-18-19-21-23-25 motifs de 6 mailles), tricoter les 3 premières mailles de A.1 pour que le motif soit symétrique et terminer par 1 maille lisière au point mousse. Sur le digramme il n'y a que 6 mailles alors que j'en ai 101 ?
11.10.2023 - 09:33DROPS Design answered:
Bonjour Mme Barathi, tricotez vos 101 mailles ainsi: 1 maille lisière, répétez 16 fois les 6 mailles de A.1, tricotez maintenant les 3 premières mailles de A.1 et terminez par 1 maille lisière soit: 1 + 16x6 + 3 + 1 = 101. Le motif de A.1 est ainsi symétrique. Sur l'envers, tricotez les 3 premières mailles en commençant par la 3ème (on lit sur l'envers de gauche à droite) et répétez A.1 en lisant également le diagramme de gauche à droite. Bon tricot!

When knitting the front panel do I cast on 74 + 5 for band and 1 for edge or work within the original count.?
06.10.2022 - 01:06DROPS Design answered:
Hi Liz, The 74 stitches includes the band and edge stitches (so only cast on 74 stitches). Happy knitting!

Hello I am working the Right Front. SIZE L Do I work the first neck cast off immediately (3st) after I have place band stitches on a thread, and do I work the remaining cast offs on following right side rows ? Assumimg it takes 2 rows to complete a cast for my size L it will require I work 14 rows. Am I correct?
02.07.2022 - 10:45DROPS Design answered:
Dear Michelle, start casting off after placing stitches on thread. Then, cast off for the neck as explained in the pattern. You cast off when working rows that start from the neck, that is, on the right side of the work. So, you will work these decreases for 14 rows in total (decreasing on 7 rows on the right side). Afterwards, work over the shoulder stitches, without decreasing until the work measures 48 cm for size L and work evenly spaced decreases. Happy knitting!

Hi, is there a mistake in the diagram for A1? There are different numbers of rows between the ones with purl st (from the R side) - 4 in one case and 3 in the other. Are they supposed to be the same? Thank you!

Bonjour Comment tricoter les rangs envers sur ce modele avec des aiguilles droites. Est ce que les rangs envers figurent sur le diagramme. Merci de votre réponse.
27.11.2021 - 15:26DROPS Design answered:
Bonjour Mme Hacquard, tout à fait, les diagrammes montrent tous les rangs: ceux sur l'endroit (que l'on lit de droite à gauche) et ceux sur l'envers (que l'on lit de gauche à droite), autrement dit, 1 case blanche = 1 maille jersey endroit, 1 carré noir = 1 maille jersey envers (les 2 alternativement en hauteur = 1 m point mousse) - retrouvez ici d'autres infos sur les diagrammes.
