------------------------------------------------------- EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN: ------------------------------------------------------- GARTER STITCH (worked back and forth): Knit all rows. 1 ridge = knit 2 rows. PATTERN: See diagrams A.1 and A.2. The diagrams show all rows in the pattern from the right side. RAGLAN: Increase before/after A.2 in each transition between the body and sleeves. To start with increase on each side in each transition every 2nd row (8 stitches increased), then continue to increase on the front and back pieces every 2nd row and on the sleeves every 4th row, i.e., every 2nd increase is only on the body and not on the sleeves (4 stitches increased). Increase 1 stitch by making 1 yarn over, which is purled twisted on the next row to avoid holes. Work the new stitches in stockinette stitch. DECREASE TIP (for sleeves): Decrease 1 stitch on either side of the marker-thread 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 knit-wise, knit 1 and pass the slipped stitch over the knitted stitch. BUTTONHOLES: Work buttonholes on the right band (when the garment is worn). Work from the right side when there are 4 stitches left on the row as follows: Make 1 yarn over, knit 2 together and knit 2. On the next row (wrong side), knit the yarn over to leave a hole. The first buttonhole is worked when the garter stitch on the front band stitches measures approx. 2 cm = ¾". Then work the other 5-5-5-6-6-6 buttonholes with approx. 8½-9-9½-8-8½-9 cm = 3¼"-3½"-3⅝"-3⅛"-3¼"-3½" between each one. ------------------------------------------------------- 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. The yoke is divided for body and sleeves and the body continued back and forth with circular needle. The sleeves are worked in the round with double pointed needles/short circular needle. DOUBLE NECK: Cast on 126-126-138-138-150-154 stitches with circular needle size 2.5 MM = US 1.5 and DROPS Alpaca. Purl 1 row from the wrong side, then work rib as follows from the right side: * Knit 2, purl 2 *, work from *-* until there are 2 stitches left, knit 2. Continue this rib for 5 cm = 2". On the next 2 rows, cast on 7 stitches at the end of each row (band stitches) = 140-140-152-152-164-168 stitches. Continue the rib with 7 band stitches in GARTER STITCH -see description above, on each side until the neck measures 10 cm = 4" and with the last row from the wrong side (rib will be later folded towards the wrong side, so that the neck edge is approx. 5 cm = 2"). Remember the BUTTONHOLES – read description above. Insert a marker inside one of the bands; the yoke is measured from here. YOKE: Change to circular needle size 3.5 MM = US 4 and work as follows from the right side: 7 band stitches in garter stitch, 9-9-13-13-17-17 stitches in stockinette stitch, A.1, 20 stitches in stockinette stitch (sleeve), A.1, 20-20-24-24-28-32 stitches in stockinette stitch (back piece), A.1, 20 stitches in stockinette stitch (sleeve), A.1, 9-9-13-13-17-17 stitches in stockinette stitch, 7 band stitches in garter stitch. 1 stitch has been increased in each repeat of A.1= 144-144-156-156-168-172 stitches. Work next row from the wrong side as follows: 7 band stitches in garter stitch, 9-9-13-13-17-17 stitches in stockinette stitch, A.1, 20 stitches in stockinette stitch (sleeve), A.1, 20-20-24-24-28-32 stitches in stockinette stitch (back piece), A.1, 20 stitches in stockinette stitch (sleeve), A.1, 9-9-13-13-17-17 stitches in stockinette stitch, 7 band stitches in garter stitch. Read the next section before continuing! Read RAGLAN in the explanations above. Start to increase on the next row from the right side. Continue with stockinette stitch, bands in garter stitch and work according to diagram A.2 over diagram A.1. REMEMBER THE KNITTING GAUGE! Increase for raglan every 2nd row 22-22-26-30-30-31 times in each transition between the body and sleeves = 320-320-364-396-408-420 stitches. Continue to increase for raglan on the front and back pieces every 2nd row and every 4th row on the sleeves. Increase 8-12-10-12-16-20 times on the front and back pieces (4-6-5-6-8-10 times on the sleeves). A total of 30-34-36-42-46-51 times on the front and back pieces and 26-28-31-36-38-41 times on the sleeves. When the raglan-increases are finished there are 368-392-424-468-504-540 stitches. Continue working as before until the yoke measures 20-22-24-27-29-32 cm = 8"-8¾"-9½"-10⅝"-11⅜"-12½" from the marker. On the next row from the right side, divide for the body and sleeves as follows: Work 7 band stitches in garter stitch, 39-43-49-55-63-68 stitches in stockinette stitch, A.2, place the next 72-76-82-92-96-102 stitches on a thread for the sleeve, cast on 10-10-12-12-14-14 stitches (in side under sleeve), work A.2, 80-88-96-108-120-134 stitches in stockinette stitch, A.2, place the next 72-76-82-92-96-102 stitches on a thread for the sleeve, cast on 10-10-12-12-14-14 stitches (in side under sleeve), work A.2, 39-43-49-55-63-68 stitches in stockinette stitch, 7 band stitches in garter stitch Finish the body and sleeves separately, the piece is now measured from here! BODY: = 244-260-284-308-340-364 stitches. Continue with stockinette stitch, pattern and the bands in garter stitch (the new stitches under each sleeve are worked in stockinette stitch) for a further 20-20-20-19-19-18 cm = 8"-8"-8"-7½"-7½"-7" – adjust so the last row worked is row 4 in diagram A.2. The next row is from the right side and there are 244-260-284-308-340-364 stitches. Insert a marker on each side of the 13 stitches in each A.2 - so it is easier to match the following rib to the pattern. Repeat only row 4 onwards, over the 13 stitches in A.2. Work as follows from the right side: Work 7 band stitches in garter stitch, stockinette stitch over the next 39-43-49-55-63-68 stitches and increase 18-22-20-20-18-25 stitches evenly spaced over these stitches (57-65-69-75-81-93 stockinette stitches), work A.2 over the next 13 stitches, stockinette stitch over the next 10-10-12-12-14-14 stitches and increase 2-2-4-4-6-6 stitches evenly spaced over these stitches (12-12-16-16-20-20), work A.2 over the next 13 stitches, stockinette stitch over the next 80-88-96-108-120-134 stitches and increase 36-44-40-40-36-46 stitches evenly spaced over these stitches (116-132-140-152-164-188 stockinette stitches), work A.2 over the next 13 stitches, stockinette stitch over the next 10-10-12-12-14-14 stitches and increase 2-2-4-4-6-6 stitches evenly spaced over these stitches (12-12-16-16-20-20 stockinette stitches), work A.2 over the next 13 stitches, stockinette stitch over the next 39-43-49-55-63-68 stitches and increase 18-22-20-20-18-25 stitches evenly spaced over these stitches (57-65-69-75-81-93 stockinette stitches), 7 band stitches in garter stitch. There are 320-352-372-396-424-272 stitches. Work as follows from the wrong side: 7 band stitches in garter stitch, 57-65-69-75-81-93 stitches in stockinette stitch, A.2 over 13 stitches, 12-12-16-16-20-20 stitches in stockinette stitch, A.2 over 13 stitches, 116-132-140-152-164-188 stitches in stockinette stitch, A.2 over 13 stitches, 12-12-16-16-20-20 stitches in stockinette stitch, A.2 over 13 stitches, 57-65-69-75-81-93 stitches in stockinette stitch, 7 band stitches in garter stitch.

From the wrong side work garter stitch over garter stitch, knit over knit and purl over purl. Continue this rib for 8 cm = 3⅛". Loosely bind off with knit over knit and purl over purl. The jacket measures approx. 52-54-56-58-60-62 cm = 20½"-21¼"-22"-22¾"-23⅝"-24⅜" from the shoulder down. SLEEVES: Place the 72-76-82-92-96-102 stitches from the thread on the one side of the piece on short circular needle/double pointed needles size 3.5 MM = US 4 and knit up 1 stitch in each of the 10-10-12-12-14-14 stitches cast on under the sleeve = 82-86-94-104-110-116 stitches.

Continue working until the sleeve measures 35-34-32-30-28-25 cm = 13¾"-13⅜"-12½"-11¾"-11"-9¾" from the division. Knit 1 round and increase 20-16-18-20-22-20 stitches evenly spaced = 84-84-88-92-96-96 stitches. Change to double pointed needles size 2.5 MM = US 1.5 and work rib (knit 2, purl 2) for 8 cm = 3⅛".
