---------------------------------------------------------- EXPLANATION FOR THE PATTERN: ---------------------------------------------------------- GARTER STITCH (back and forth): Knit all rows. 1 ridge vertically = knit 2 rows. DECREASE TIP (evenly): To calculate how to increase/decrease evenly, use the total number of stitches on needle (e.g. 82 stitches) and divide stitches by number of decreases to be done (e.g. 13) = 6,3. In this example decrease by working approx. every 5th and 6th stitch together. PATTERN: See diagram A.1. Diagrams show all rows in pattern seen from the right side. BUTTONHOLES: Decrease for buttonholes on right band. 1 BUTTONHOLE = knit third and fourth stitch from edge together and make 1 yarn over. On next row knit yarn over to make hole. Decrease for buttonholes when piece measures: S: 17, 25, 33, 41 and 49 cm = 6¾", 9¾", 13", 16⅛" and 19¼" M: 17, 25, 33, 42 and 51 cm = 6¾", 9¾", 13", 16½" and 20" L: 17, 26, 34, 44 and 53 cm = 6¾", 10¼", 13⅜", 17¼" and 21" XL: 18, 27, 35, 45 and 55 cm = 7", 10⅝", 13¾", 17¾" and 21⅝" XXL: 18, 27, 34, 47 and 57 cm = 7", 10⅝", 13⅜", 18½" and 22½" XXXL: 19, 29, 39, 49 and 59 cm = 7½", 11⅜", 15¼", 19¼" and 23¼" BIND-OFF TIP: To avoid a tight bind-off edge when binding off, you may use a larger needle. If this still is too tight make 1 yarn over after approx. every 4th stitch while binding off (bind off yarn overs as stitches). ---------------------------------------------------------- START THE PIECE HERE: ---------------------------------------------------------- VEST – SHORT SUMMARY OF PIECE: Worked back and forth on circular needle in parts, and sewn together as explained in pattern. Then pick up a neck edge, and work edges around the armholes. BACK PIECE: Cast on 82-90-94-98-102-106 stitches on circular needle size 6 MM = US 10 with 2 strands DROPS Brushed Alpaca Silk or 1 strand DROPS Wish. Purl 1 row from wrong side, then work rib as follows from right side: 2 edge stitches in GARTER STITCH - read explanation above - * knit 2, purl 2 *, work from *-* until 4 stitches remain, knit 2 and finish with 2 edge stitches in garter stitch. Continue rib like this for 10 cm = 4". Switch to circular needle size 8 MM = US 11, purl 1 row from wrong side while decreasing 13-17-17-17-17-17 stitches evenly - read DECREASE TIP = 69-73-77-81-85-89 stitches. Then work as follows from right side: 1 edge stitch in garter stitch, purl 5-7-9-11-13-15, A.1 (= 15 stitches), purl 6, A.1, purl 6, A.1, purl 5-7-9-11-13-15, 1 edge stitch in garter stitch. Continue this pattern upwards (the purl stitches from right side, are knitted on the wrong side). REMEMBER THE KNITTING GAUGE! When piece measures 34-35-36-37-38-39 cm = 13⅜"-13¾"-14¼"-14½"-15"-15¼", bind off 2 stitches for armholes at beginning of the 2 next rows = 65-69-73-77-81-85 stitches. When piece measures 53-55-57-59-61-63 cm = 21"-21⅝"-22½"-23¼"-24"-24¾", decrease 5 stitches evenly over middle repetition of A.1, on next row bind off the middle 14-16-18-20-22-24 stitches for neck, and finish each shoulder separately. Then bind off 1 stitch on next row from neck = 22-23-24-25-26-27 stitches. Work the stitches in A.1 in stockinette stitch, decrease at the same time 5 stitches evenly over these stitches = 17-18-19-20-21-22 stitches. Bind off when piece measures 56-58-60-62-64-66 cm = 22"-22¾"-23⅝"-24⅜"-25¼"-26" (= 22-23-24-25-26-27 cm = 8¾"-9"-9½"-9¾"-10¼"-10⅝" from where armholes were bind off). Work the other shoulder the same way. LEFT FRONT PIECE: Cast on 45-45-49-49-53-53 stitches (including 5 band stitches towards mid front) on circular needle size 6 MM = US 10 with 2 strands DROPS Brushed Alpaca Silk or 1 strand DROPS Wish.

When piece measures 50-52-54-56-58-60 cm = 19¾"-20½"-21¼"-22"-22¾"-23⅝", slip the outermost 8-9-10-11-12-13 stitches towards mid front on a stitch holder for neck. Continue to bind off stitches for neck at beginning of every row from neck as follows: Bind off 2 stitches 1 time and 1 stitch 2 times = 22-23-24-25-26-27 stitches remain on shoulder. Work the stitches in A.1 in stockinette stitch, decrease at the same time 5 stitches evenly over these stitches = 17-18-19-20-21-22 stitches. Bind off when piece measures 56-58-60-62-64-66 cm = 22"-22¾"-23⅝"-24⅜"-25¼"-26" (= 22-23-24-25-26-27 cm = 8¾"-9"-9½"-9¾"-10¼"-10⅝" from where armholes were bind off).

When piece measures 34-35-36-37-38-39 cm = 13⅜"-13¾"-14¼"-14½"-15"-15¼", bind off 2 stitches for armhole at beginning of next row from wrong side = 34-36-38-40-42-44 stitches. Work as follows from right side: 5 band stitches in garter stitch, purl 8, A.1, purl 6-8-10-12-14-16. When piece measures 50-52-54-56-58-60 cm = 19¾"-20½"-21¼"-22"-22¾"-23⅝", slip the outermost 8-9-10-11-12-13 stitches towards mid front on a stitch holder for neck. Continue to bind off stitches for neck at beginning of every row from neck as follows: Bind off 2 stitches 1 time and 1 stitch 2 times = 22-23-24-25-26-27 stitches remain on shoulder. Work the stitches in A.1 in stockinette stitch, decrease at the same time 5 stitches evenly over these stitches = 17-18-19-20-21-22 stitches.

ASSEMBLY: Sew the shoulder seams. Sew side seams in outer loops of edge stitch to get a flat seam but stop when approx. 10 cm = 4" remain = vents. Sew buttons on to left front piece. NECK EDGE: Begin mid front and from right side, and pick up approx. 48-68 stitches including stitches from stitch holder (number of stitches should be divisible by 4) around the neck on circular needle size 6 MM = US 10 with 2 strands DROPS Brushed Alpaca Silk or 1 strand DROPS Wish. Work rib as follows – first row is worked from wrong side: 5 band stitches in garter stitch, purl 2, rib (= knit 2, purl 2) until 7 stitches remain, purl 2 and 5 band stitches in garter stitch. Work rib for 12 cm = 4¾". Bind off with knit over knit and purl over purl - read BIND-OFF TIP. Fold rib at the top of neck down on inside of garment. Fasten the rib to get a double neck edge, and sew opening in each side towards mid front. To avoid a tight neck edge that sticks out it is important to keep the seam elastic. EDGE AROUND ARMHOLES: Pick up approx. 52 to 72 stitches (divisible by 4) around the armhole with 2 strands DROPS Brushed Alpaca Silk or 1 strand DROPS Wish on a short circular needle size 6 MM = US 10. Work rib (= knit 2/purl 2) in the round for 4 cm = 1½". Then bind off with knit over knit and purl over purl - remember BIND-OFF TIP. Repeat around the other armhole. |

Hola! Me encanta vuestra lana y los patrones que ponéis, tengo una pregunta respecto a éste en concreto, no tengo agujas circulares, sólo dos agujas, puedo hacerlo siguiendo estas mismas instrucciones o debo hacer algún cambio? Muchas gracias
23.12.2021 - 11:16DROPS Design answered:
Hola Laura, puedes trabajar la labor con agujas rectas, trabajando cada parte por separado y añadiendo puntos de orillo extra para las costuras. Sin embargo, las cenefas de las sisas y el escote se trabajan en redondo, por lo que hay que hacerlas por separado y después coserlas a la labor.

Bonjour, l'échantillon proposé se fait-il bien avec des aiguilles numéro 8 ? Merci
08.11.2021 - 15:05DROPS Design answered:
Bonjour Carine, Oui, avec des aiguilles numéro 8. Ne pas oublier que la taille des aiguilles est uniquement une suggestion. Si vous avez trop de mailles pour 10 cm, essayez avec des aiguilles plus grosses. Si vous n'avez pas assez de mailles pour 10 cm, essayez avec des aiguilles plus fines. Bon tricot!

Hello. Can the garter stitch between the cable patterns be done by knitting every row instead of using the purl stitches? I just find knitting stitches easier.
02.11.2021 - 10:02DROPS Design answered:
Dear Anna, the backround is done with a reverse stockinett so the cable itself would be more prominent. Doing garter stitch would not have the same effect. Happy Stitching!
02.11.2021 - 20:54Anna wrote:
"the purl stitches from right side, are knitted on the wrong sid" - do you mean the purl stitches from the cable pattern or the stitches between the cables? Thank you in advance for your help.
02.11.2021 - 09:49DROPS Design answered:
Dear Anna, we mean that the stitches that are purled from the right side, should be knitted on the wrong side to get the effect on the picture. Happy Knitting!
