Pattern instructions

Patterns

PATTERN: See diagrams A.1 to A.7.

DECREASE/INCREASE TIP (evenly spaced): To work out how to decrease/increase evenly, count the total number of stitches on needle (e.g. 224 stitches), and divide by number of decreases/increases to be made (e.g. 20) = 11.2. In this example, decrease by knitting together approx. each 10th and 11th stitch. When increasing, make 1 yarn over after approx. each 11th stitch. On the next round work the yarn overs twisted to avoid holes.

RAGLAN: Decrease to raglan on each side of the marker thread in each transition between body and sleeves 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 (8 stitches decreased on each decrease-round). NOTE! When you no longer have room for a complete cable towards the raglan-line, work those stitches in stocking stitch.

INCREASE TIP (for sleeves): Increase 1 stitch on each side of the marker-stitch as follows: Work to the marker-stitch, make 1 yarn over, knit 1 (marker-stitch), 1 yarn over. On the next round knit the yarn overs twisted to avoid holes. Then work the new stitches into A.1.

KNITTING TIP: When casting off for the armholes on the body and sleeves, adjust to do this on the same row in pattern A.x on body and sleeve (single cables). So that all the of these cables can be work on the same round in the diagram as you continue onwards.

START THE PIECE HERE:

JUMPER – SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE: The body is worked in the round, bottom up as far as the armholes. The sleeves are worked in the round with double pointed needles/short circular needle, bottom up. The sleeves are placed on the same circular needle as the body, and the yoke is finished in the round. The double neck is worked to finish.

BODY: Cast on 224-232-250-264-292-314 stitches with circular needle size 4 mm and DROPS Air. Work rib in the round (knit 1, purl 1) for 5 cm. Change to circular needle size 5 mm and knit 1 round where you decrease 20-20-22-24-24-26 stitches evenly spaced – read DECREASE/INCREASE TIP = 204-212-228-240-268-288 stitches. Continue according to the diagrams as follows:

  • Work A.1 over 20-24-32-38-30-40 stitches, A.2 over 11-11-11-11-22-22 stitches (= 1-1-1-1-2-2 repeats of 11 stitches), A.3 (= 9 stitches), A.4 (= 42 stitches), A.5 (= 9 stitches), A.6 over 11-11-11-11-22-22 stitches (= 1-1-1-1-2-2 repeats of 11 stitches) *, work from - a total of 2 times. Insert a marker in the middle of both sections of A.1 (10-12-16-19-15-20 stitches of A.1 on each side). REMEMBER THE KNITTING TENSION! Continue the pattern until the piece measures 35-35-36-36-36-36 cm from the cast-on edge – read KNITTING TIP! On the next round cast off 3-3-4-4-5-5 stitches for the armholes on each side of both markers (6-6-8-8-10-10 stitches for each armhole). There are 96-100-106-112-124-134 stitches on the front piece and back pieces. Lay the piece to one side and work the sleeves.

SLEEVES: Cast on 48-48-50-50-52-54 stitches with double pointed needles size 4 mm and DROPS Air. Work rib in the round (knit 1, purl 1) for 5 cm. Change to double pointed needles size 5 mm and knit 1 round where you increase 6-6-6-8-8-8 stitches evenly spaced - remember DECREASE/INCREASE TIP = 54-54-56-58-60-62 stitches. Insert 1 marker in the first stitch on the round; used when increasing under the sleeve. Continue according to the diagrams as follows: Work A.1 over 9-9-10-11-12-13 stitches, A.3 (= 9 stitches), A.7 (= 18 stitches), A.5 (= 9 stitches) and A.1 over the last 9-9-10-11-12-13 stitches. When the sleeve measures 8 cm from the cast-on edge increase 1 stitch on each side of the marker-stitch – read INCREASE TIP in explanations above. Repeat this increase every 6½-4½-3-3-2½-2 cm a total of 6-8-11-11-13-15 times = 66-70-78-80-86-92 stitches. Continue working until the sleeve measures 44-43-42-41-40-38 cm from the cast-on edge (shorter measurements in larger sizes due to wider neck and longer yoke). There is approx. 25-27-28-30-32-34 cm left before the neck; try the jumper on and work to desired length - remember KNITTING TIP! Cast off 6-6-8-8-10-10 stitches mid-under the sleeve = 60-64-70-72-76-82 stitches. Lay the piece to one side and work the other sleeve in the same way but insert the marker under the sleeve in the last stitch on the round.

YOKE: Place the sleeves on the same needle as the body, where stitches were cast off for the armholes = 312-328-352-368-400-432 stitches. Insert 1 marker thread in each transition between body and sleeves (= 4 marker threads). The 2 stitches on each side of all the marker threads are worked in stocking stitch; the other stitches are worked as before. Continue the pattern for 4-4-2-4-2-1 cm. Now continue the pattern and begin to decrease for RAGLAN – read description above. Decrease like this every 2nd round a total of 22-24-27-28-32-35 times. When all the decreases are finished there are 136-136-136-144-144-152 stitches and the yoke measures approx. 24-26-27-29-31-33 cm from where the body and sleeves were joined. On the next round continue the pattern but knit the cable-stitches and decrease stitches evenly as follows: Decrease a total of 6 stitches over the cables on the front piece and 3 stitches over the first sleeve, 6 stitches over the cables on the back piece and 3 stitches over the cables on the other sleeve = 118-118-118-126-126-134 stitches. Knit 1 round and decrease 36-32-30-38-34-38 stitches evenly on the round = 82-86-88-88-92-96 stitches. The jumper measures approx. 64-66-68-70-72-74 cm from the shoulder.

DOUBLE NECK: Change to short circular needle size 4 mm and work rib (knit 1, purl 1) for 12 cm. On the next round increase stitches to avoid the neck being tight when folded double as follows: Make 1 yarn over after every second purled stitch = 102-107-110-110-115-120 stitches. Purl the yarn overs twisted on the next round to avoid holes. Continue with knit over knit and purl over purl until the neck measures 14 cm. Loosely cast off with knit over knit and purl over purl.

ASSEMBLY: Sew together the openings under the sleeves. Fold the neck double to the inside and sew down. To avoid the neck being tight and rolling outwards, it is important that the seam is elastic

Dobrý den, mám dotaz ohledně pleteni rukávu. Dle vaseho návodu a nakresu by měla být délka rukávu od zápěstí k podpaží v případě velikosti XL 41cm. Chápu to správně? Pokud změřim delku rukávu, nedosahuje mi až k podpaží. Chybí asi 15cm. Nevím, jestli návodu rozumím správně. Děkuji.. 26.08.2024 - 10:17

Wonderful pattern! I used Baby Merino together with Alpaca and it turned out beautifully. It turned out slimmer at first because Baby Merino is quite stretchy but after blocking it had the right size. I still reccomend making sleeves and body 2 cm longer. It's an easy to follow pattern when you have some experience in bottom up knitting. Thank you for this great pattern! 25.03.2024 - 19:07

Die Anleitung ist immer noch total falsch. Sie stellen schicke Pullover kostenlos ins Netz. Ich kaufe die Wolle und die Anleitung ist total falsch. Das geht nicht. Wann können mit einer korrekten Anleitung rechnen? 19.01.2024 - 16:27

Bonjour, dans le modele 224-4 Au niveau apres le raglan c´est indique diminuer a interval regulier 6 mailles dans les torsades du devant +3 mailles dans celle de la premiere manche +6 m celles du dos et 3 mailles dans l´autre manche Comment proceder je ne comprends pas trop Merci beaucoup 16.01.2024 - 15:35

DROPS Design answered:

Bonjour Mme Oudinet, comme il faut plus de mailles pour tricoter une torsade que pour du jersey, on doit diminuer le nombre de mailles des diagrammes: tricotez 6 fois 2 m ens à l'endroit (= 6 diminutions) dans les torsades du devant et du dos, et tricotez 3 fois 2 m ens à l'endroit dans les torsades de chacune des manches. Au tour suivant, répartissez encore le nombre de diminutions indiqué pour votre taille puis tricotez le col. Bon tricot! 17.01.2024 - 08:53

Liebes Team, ihr müsst unbedingt die Diagramme des Modells DROPS Design: Modell ai-372 überarbeiten. Es soll schon eine Korrektur erfolgt sein aber die erschließt sich mir absolut nicht! Liebe Grüße 05.01.2024 - 20:18

Ik kom bij het breien van mijn proeflapje tot de constatatie dat ik naalddikte 6 zal moeten gebruiken voor dit werk (behalve voor de boorden natuurlijk). Drops air is echter niet geschikt voor deze dikte naalden en heeft ook wat teveel "doorkijk" met naalddikte 6. Kan ik dan twee draden Drops air gebruiken voor dit werk? Of gaan de maten dan niet meer kloppen...? 18.12.2023 - 19:30

DROPS Design answered:

Dag Ives,

Dan zou je met 2 draden opnieuw een proeflapje moeten maken om te kijken of je de stekenverhouding haalt (waarschijnlijk met dunnere naalden). DROPS Air is van zichzelf wat dun en heeft iets meer 'doorkijk' dan ander garen, maar ik denk dat dat mee zal vallen in dit patroon met kabels.

Ik lees dat er een correctie doorgevoerd is voor tel patroon A3 en A5 maar kan hierover verder niets vinden. Is het patroon hier afgebeeld dan toch reeds het gecorrigeerde? 16.10.2023 - 11:25

DROPS Design answered:

Dag Marianne,

Ja, het online patroon is de gecorrigeerde versie. Mocht je een afdruk hebben van voor de correctiedatum, dan is de correctie nog niet in de afdruk doorgevoerd.

Takk for svar, men det er akkurat det jeg mener: noen har kort, andre lang rygg. Akkurat som at noen har kort overkropp og lang underkropp, og omvendt. Jeg forstår fortsatt ikke at alle er like lange fra ermehull og ned til f.eks. hoftehøyde? 09.10.2023 - 14:52

Hei! Ang. Stone Cables, Drops 224-4. Kan det være riktig at det skal strikkes like langt før felling til ermehull for størrelsene L-XXXL? Jeg har strikket genseren i str. L, og den ble altfor kort . Jeg hadde dessverre ingen mulighet til å måle den jeg strikket til, men stolte på oppskriften. 30.09.2023 - 11:27

DROPS Design answered:

Hei Tordis. Jo, oppskriften stemmer. Folk er forskjellige, noen har kort rygg, mens andre lang. For at et plagg skal passe best mulig er det en god ide å ta mål av en genser som passer den som skal ha genseren, og sammenlign med målene i målskissen for å finne beste passform. mvh DROPS Design 09.10.2023 - 14:12

Bonjour Y a t'il vraiment un intérêt à tricoter ce pull en un seul morceau Cordialement 20.04.2023 - 11:36

DROPS Design answered:

Bonjour Mme Després, c'est ainsi que la styliste l'a créé; l'intérêt est de limiter les coutures (on a ici une seule couture sous chacune des manches). Dans cette vidéo, nous montrons comment tricoter un pull raglan de bas en haut; et dans cette leçon, nous traitons des aiguilles circulaires. Bon tricot! 20.04.2023 - 13:26
