DECREASE TIP (V-neck and armholes): All decreases are worked from the right side! DECREASE 2 STITCHES AT THE BEGINNING OF THE ROW: Work 1 edge stitch in garter stitch, knit 1, work A.1 over the next 3 stitches.

BUTTONHOLES: Work buttonholes starting from the right side as follows: Work the first 8 stitches as before, turn and work back, turn and work these stitches 1 more time (right side). Cut the strand. Work 4 rows as before over the other 8 band stitches (first row from the right side) and work together the last stitch from the right side with the first stitch along the edge of the jacket. On the next row from the wrong side work all the band stitches as before. Work buttonholes when the band measures: S: 6, 13, 21, 29 and 37 cm. M: 6, 13, 21, 29 and 37 cm. L: 6, 13, 21, 29 and 37 cm.

The sleeves are worked in the round on double pointed needles/short circular needle from bottom up as far as the sleeve cap, which is finished back and forth. Stitches are knitted up along the front pieces and the bands worked to finish. BODY: Cast on 192-208-224-240-264-280 stitches with circular needle size 4 mm and 1 strand DROPS Soft Tweed and 1 strand DROPS Kid-Silk. Purl 1 row from the wrong side. On the next row (right side) work rib as follows: 1 edge stitch in GARTER STITCH – read description above, * purl 2, knit 2 *, work from *-* until there are 3 stitches left, purl 2 and 1 edge stitch in garter stitch. When the rib measures 4 cm, knit 1 row from the right side and decrease 30-34-38-38-46-46 stitches evenly spaced = 162-174-186-202-218-234 stitches. Change to circular needle size 5 mm. Insert a marker 41-44-47-51-55-59 stitches in from each side (= 80-86-92-100-108-116 stitches on the back piece between the markers). Allow the markers to follow your work onwards; they are used when casting off for the armholes. Continue with stocking stitch and 1 edge stitch in garter stitch on each side. REMEMBER THE KNITTING TENSION! OVERVIEW OF THE NEXT SECTION: When the piece measures 38-38-38-39-40-41 cm, start to decrease for the V-neck. AT THE SAME TIME as you work these decreases, you cast off/decrease for the armholes and finish each shoulder separately. Read V-NECK and ARMHOLES before continuing. V-NECK: When the piece measures 38-38-38-39-40-41 cm, on the next row from the right side, decrease for the V-neck on each side– read DECREASE TIP. Decrease 2 stitches on each side every 4th row 4 times in all sizes. Then decrease 1 stitch on each side every 4th row 3-3-4-4-5-5 times. ARMHOLES: AT THE SAME TIME, when the piece measures 43-44-45-46-47-48 cm and the next row is from the right side, cast off for the armholes: Work as before until there are 2-3-4-4-4-5 stitches left before the first marker, cast off 4-6-8-8-8-10 stitches, work until there are 2-3-4-4-4-5 stitches left before the second marker, cast off 4-6-8-8-8-10 stitches and work to the end of the row. The front and back pieces are finished separately. LEFT FRONT PIECE (when the garment is worn): Start from the wrong side, work stocking stitch with 1 edge stitch in garter stitch on each side and continue to decrease for the V-neck. In addition, decrease for the armhole as follows: ARMHOLE: At the beginning of the next row from the right side decrease 1-1-1-2-2-2 stitches, then decrease 1 stitch on every 4th row 0-0-0-1-3-3 times – remember DECREASE TIP. After all the decreases for the V-neck and armhole there are 27-29-30-32-33-36 stitches on the shoulder. Continue with stocking stitch and 1 edge stitch in garter stitch on each side. Cast off when the piece measures 62-64-66-68-70-72 cm. RIGHT FRONT PIECE: Start from the wrong side, work stocking stitch with 1 edge stitch in garter stitch on each side and continue to decrease for the V-neck. In addition, decrease for the armhole as follows: ARMHOLE: At the end of the next row from the right side decrease 1-1-1-2-2-2 stitches, then decrease 1 stitch on every 4th row 0-0-0-1-3-3 times. After all the decreases for the V-neck and armhole there are 27-29-30-32-33-36 stitches on the shoulder. Continue with stocking stitch and 1 edge stitch in garter stitch on each side. Cast off when the piece measures 62-64-66-68-70-72 cm. BACK PIECE: = 76-80-84-92-100-106 stitches. Start from the wrong side and work stocking stitch with 1 edge stitch in garter stitch on each side. In addition decrease for the armholes as follows: On the next row from the right side decrease 1-1-1-2-2-2 stitches on each side, then decrease 1 stitch on each side every 4th row 0-0-0-1-3-3 times = 74-78-82-86-90-96 stitches. When the piece measures 59-61-63-65-67-69 cm cast off the middle 18-18-20-20-22-22 stitches for the neck (28-30-31-33-34-37 stitches on each shoulder). Finish each shoulder separately. On the next row cast off 1 stitch from the neck = 27-29-30-32-33-36 stitches. Cast off when the piece measures 62-64-66-68-70-72 cm. Work the other shoulder in the same way. SLEEVES: Cast on 44-44-48-48-52-52 stitches with double pointed needles size 4 mm and 1 strand of each quality. Knit 1 round, then work rib (knit 2, purl 2) for 5 cm. Knit 1 round and decrease 6-4-6-4-6-6 stitches evenly spaced = 38-40-42-44-46-46 stitches. Insert a marker at the beginning of the round (mid-under sleeve). Allow the marker to follow your work onwards; it is used when increasing under the sleeve. Change to double pointed needles size 5 mm and work stocking stitch in the round. When the sleeve measures 12-12-10-12-10-12 cm, increase 1 stitch on each side of the marker – read INCREASE TIP. Increase like this every 4-3½-3½-3-32½. cm a total of 11-12-13-13-14-15 times = 60-64-68-70-74-76 stitches. When the sleeve measures 54-54-54-51-50-50 cm, work the next round as follows: Start 2-3-4-4-4-5 stitches before the marker, cast off 4-6-8-8-8-10 stitches, work to the end of the round = 56-58-60-62-66-66 stitches. Start from the wrong side and work the sleeve cap in stocking stitch back and forth as follows: Cast off 9-9-10-5-4-4 stitches at the beginning of each row 2-2-2-5-6-6 times = 20-22-20-12-18-18 stitches. Cast off. The sleeve measures approx. 56 cm. Work the other sleeve in the same way. ASSEMBLY: Sew the shoulder seams inside the cast-off edge. Sew in the sleeves inside the 1 edge stitch along the armholes. RIGHT BAND: The band is worked bottom up. Using a strand end of 1½ to 2 metres, knit up stitches along the front piece (this allows you to continue working without cutting the strand) as follows: Start at the bottom and pick up 1 stitch in each row, inside the 1 edge stitch, using circular needle size 4.5 mm and 1 strand of each quality. Continue working from the end with the ball = bottom of the front piece. Cast on 16 stitches as an extension of the picked up stitch at the bottom of the front piece (cast on from the wrong side). Work the band over these 16 stitches at the same time as it is worked together with the knitted-up stitches along the front piece: ROW 1 (right side): Slip the first stitch onto the right needle as if to purl with the strand in front, * knit 1, slip 1 stitch onto the right needle as if to purl with the strand in front *, work from *-* until there is 1 band stitch left, slip 1 stitch onto the right needle as if to knit with the strand behind, knit 1 and pass the slipped stitch over the knitted stitch, turn. ROW 2 (wrong side): * Slip the first/next stitch onto the right needle as if to purl with the strand in front, knit 1 *, work from *-* over all 16 band stitches, turn. Repeat rows 1 and 2. Work the BUTTONHOLES – read description above. When all the stitches from the front piece are knitted together with the band, work the back of the neck. BACK OF NECK: Work the 16 band stitches as follows: ROW 1: * Slip the first/next stitch onto the right needle as if to purl with the strand in front, knit 1 *, work from *-* over all 16 band stitches. Repeat this row for 8-8-9-9-10-10 cm. On the last row from the right side knit all stitches together 2 and 2, then cast off. LEFT BAND: Start at the top of the front piece and knit up 1 stitch in each row, inside the 1 edge stitch, using circular needle size 4.5 mm and 1 strand of each quality. Cast on 16 stitches as an extension of the picked up stitch at the bottom of the front piece. Work the band over these 16 stitches at the same time as the band is worked together with the knitted-up stitches along the front piece: ROW 1(wrong side): Knit 1, *slip the first stitch onto the right needle as if to purl with the strand in front, knit 1 *, work from *-* until there is 1 band stitch left, slip the next 2 stitches onto the right needle as if to purl them together with the strand in front, turn. ROW 2 (right side): Knit 2 together, * slip 1 stitch onto the right needle as if to purl with the strand in front, knit 1 *, work from *-* until there is 1 stitch left, slip 1 stitch onto the right needle as if to purl with the strand in front, turn. Repeat rows 1 and 2. When all the stitches from the front piece are knitted together with the band, work the back of the neck. BACK OF NECK: Work the 16 band stitches as follows: ROW 1: * Knit 1, slip the next stitch onto the right needle as if to purl with the strand in front *, work from *-* over all 16 band stitches.

Hi, as I am not able to use circular or double pointed needles, can you supply this pattern for knitted flat on double pointed needles please? I have not been able to find any other pattern quite like it. Many thanks

Dear Carmel, please understand, that since we have thousands of patterns on our site, we cannot modify them to each individual request. You are welcome though to modify them to your needs, and HERE is a lesson that might help you do that: Happy Knitting!
17.03.2024 - 09:35Jeg begyndte at strikke forkanten på pind fem, men blev enig med mig selv om, da jeg var ca halvvejs, at jeg ville trevle op og gå en pind størrelse op, for det blev simpelthen for stramt, så hvis man ikke strikker meget løst, og jeg strikker ikke meget fast, så er det ikke en god idé at følge pindestørrelse i opskriften.
29.02.2024 - 21:54Bom dia tenho alguma dificuldade em perceber como se faz as orlas na frente do casaco, tem algum vídeo?
04.02.2024 - 10:51DROPS Design answered:
Bom dia! Neste modelo, levantam-se, primeiro, malhas a toda a volta da abertura do casaco. Essas malhas vao unir o casaco às carcelas que se tricotam em separado e são unidas ao casaco como se pode ver neste vídeo: https://www.garnstudio.com/video.php?id=1728&lang=pt Bons tricôs!
05.02.2024 - 09:48Hej!Jag stickar 233-9 storlek XL men ärmarna kommer bli för långa, behöver nog korta dom ca 3 cm, hur gör jag det bäst? Har aldrig stickat ärmar på detta vis förut.
08.11.2023 - 17:10DROPS Design answered:
Hei Barbro. Du kan bare strikke den 3 cm kortere mellom vrangbord og til arbeidet måler 51 cm, men da må du regne ut hvor ofte du må øke slik at du har riktig maskeantall når ermet måler 51 cm og det skal strikkes ermtopp. Eller du kan begynne med økningene når ermet måler 9 cm (istedenfor 12 cm.) Om du allerede har strikket ferdig ermet med den oppgitte lengden og ikke ønsker å rekke opp, kan du rekke opp vrangborden og 3 cm av ermet og så strikke ny vrangbord (maskene blir da andre vei) Se evnt videoen: Hur man förlänger en stickad ärm/ ett fram- & bakstycke. mvh DROPS Design
13.11.2023 - 11:49Kan jeg få tips på navn i garntype C. Ser av tidligere spørsmål at man kan kutte ut følgetråden og gå fra gruppe B til C.
01.11.2023 - 16:06DROPS Design answered:
Hei Anna, Hvis du velger Garn og Pinner på toppen av oppskriften, deretter Garngrupper (nederst og litt til høyre), finner du alle garn i gruppe C. God fornøyelse!
02.11.2023 - 06:58Hi - I'm a beginner, so I'm sorry if this is an obvious question. I just want to check regarding the A.1, A.2, and A.3 patterns.. The first row is always started from the right side. Should I still purl the 3 stitches together, even if I'm doing stocking stitch? And for A.2 and A.3, when I turn around and knit from the wrong side (2nd line in the pattern), does the yarn over have to be in the precise place indicated in the pattern, relative to the stitches that were purled together?
28.08.2023 - 15:36DROPS Design answered:
Dear Eva, correct, you will decrease by purling 3 sts toegther, then in A.2 and A.3 work the yarn over after the remaining stitch in A.2 and before the remaining stitch in A.3 (reading from the left towards the right from wrong side). Happy knitting!
28.08.2023 - 16:36Hello! What would the difference be if I chose not to use the Kid-Silk quality? Is it possible to make the cardigan without it?
07.08.2023 - 22:23DROPS Design answered:
Dear Mrs Pahladsingh, you then might have to use a yarn group C instead of this combination of yarns, you would then keep correct and desired tension. Happy knitting!
08.08.2023 - 09:17Buongiorno, Vorrei eseguire questo modello taglia s con il filato Nepal che lavoro con i ferri 4,5. Posso utilizzare lo stesso numero di maglie o cambia qualcosa?
15.05.2023 - 11:36DROPS Design answered:
Buonasera Cristina, Nepal è un filato che appartiene al gruppo C, mentre questo modello è lavorato con un filo di un filato del gruppo A e un filo di un filato del gruppo B: può provare a fare un campione con Nepal e vedere se corrisponde a quello indicato. Buon lavoro!

15.05.2023 - 21:42Last line for sleeves: Cast off 9-9-10-5-4-4 stitches at the beginning of each row 2-2-2-5-6-6 times = 20-22-20-12-18-18 stitches. Cast off. The math does not add up here. Do you have to cast off 2 times the number of rows stated instead? Or cast off at the beginning and end of the row?
15.03.2023 - 13:06DROPS Design answered:
Dear Linda, these stitches will be indeed cast off two times since you cast off at the beginning of each row, both from right side and from wrong side, for ex in S cast off 9 stitches at the beginning of next 4 rows (= 9 sts 2 times on each side). Happy knitting!
