GARTER ST (worked in the round): 1 ridge = 2 rounds. * K 1 round and P 1 round *, repeat from *-*. PATTERN: See diagrams A.1 to A.5. INCREASE FOR SLEEVES: Increase 1 st in each side on each sleeve by increasing after A.2 and before A.3 (= 2 st inc on each sleeve and 4 sts in total on round). Inc 1 st by making 1 yarn over, on next round knit yarn over to make holes. INCREASE MID FRONT AND MID BACK: Increase 2 sts on each side of st with marker thread on mid front and mid back as follows: Knit until 1 st before st with marker thread, make 1 yarn over, knit 1, make 1 yarn over, knit st with marker thread, make 1 yarn over, knit 1, make 1 yarn over (= 4 sts inc mid front/mid back and 8 sts in total on round). On next round knit the 2 yarn overs closest to the st with mid-st to make holes, the outermost 2 sts should be knit twisted to avoid holes. Increase 1 st on each side of st with marker thread on mid front and mid back as follows: Work until st with maker thread, make 1 yarn over, knit st with maker thread (mid-st), make 1 yarn over (= 2 sts inc mid front/mid back and 4 sts in total on round).On next round knit yarn overs to make holes. KNITTING TIP-1: To avoid the eye let row being interrupted while increasing for sleeves on every 4th row and not on every 2nd row as before, work as follows on the rows that previously had increases: After A.2: Make 1 yarn over, slip 1 st knitvise, knit 1 and pass slipped st over the knit st. Before A.3: Knit until 2 sts before A.3, knit 2 st tog and make 1 yarn over. KNITTING TIP-2: If you want a little less volume on body, it is possible to make some adjustments after dividing for sleeves. Decrease 2 sts mid front and mid back on i.e every 8th round as follows (decrease on a round with increases): Knit until 2 sts before st with marker (= mid-st), knit 2 tog, make 1 yarn over, knit 1 (= mid-st), make 1 yarn over, slip 1 st knitvise, knit 1 and pass slipped st over the knit st (this decrease will give approx 8 cm / 3⅛" less width in total at the end of body). DECREASE TIP (applies to sleeves): Beg 3 sts before marker and dec as follows: K 2 tog, K 2 (marker is in the middle of these 2 sts), slip 1 st as if to K, K 1, psso. ---------------------------------------------------------- TUNIC: Worked in the round on circular needle, top down. YOKE: Cast on 66-66-70-70-74-74 sts on a short circular needle size 4 mm / US 6 with 2 strands Air. Remove 1 strand and continue with 1 strand Air as follows: Work 2 ridges in GARTER ST - see explanation above. Switch to a short circular needle size 5 mm / US 8, work next round as follows: Work A.1 (= 12 sts inc to 18 sts), 2 sts in stockinette st (= sleeve), A.1 (= 12 sts inc to 18 sts), 7-7-9-9-11-11 sts in stockinette st (insert 1 marker in the middle of these sts = mid front), A.1 (= 12 sts inc to 18 sts), 2 sts in stockinette st (= sleeve), A.1 (= 12 sts inc to 18 sts) and 7-7-9-9-11-11 sts in stockinette st (insert 1 marker in the middle of these sts = mid back) = 90-90-94-94-98-98 sts on needle. Next round work as follows: Work A.2 (= 18 sts), inc 1 st – READ INCREASE FOR SLEEVES, knit 2, inc 1 st for sleeve, work A.3 (= 20 sts), knit 0-0-1-1-2-2 s, inc 2 sts on each side of st with marker thread – READ INCREASE MID FRONT AND MID BACK, knit 0-0-1-1-2-2 sts, work A.2B (= 2 sts), work A.2A (=18 sts), inc 1 st for sleeve, knit 2 sts, inc 1 st for sleeve, work A.3 (= 20 sts), knit 0-0-1-1-2-2 sts, inc 2 sts on each side of st with marker thread (= mid back) and knit 0-0-1-1-2-2 sts and work A.2B (= 2 sts) = 102-102-106-106-110-110 sts on needle. Then work stockinette st in the round with A.2 and A.3 in every transition between body and sleeves. AT THE SAME TIME continue increase for sleeves and increase mid front and mid back as follows: SLEEVES: Increase on every 2nd round 10-13-15-21-23-27 times in total (including the increase explained on firste round), then increase on every 4th round 11-11-11-9-9-8 times in total - READ KNITTING TIP-1. MID FRONT AND MID BACK : Inc 2 sts on every side of st with marker in it on every 2nd round 11-14-15-18-21-25 times in total (including the increases explained on first round). Then increase 1 st on each side of st with marker in it on every 2nd round 21-20-21-21-20-18 times in total. REMEMBER THE GAUGE! After last increase on body and sleeves each side of st with marker thread there are 346-378-402-442-474-510 sts on needle. Work next round as follows: Work as before over the first111 sts (= until middle of 2 P sts in A.2), slip the next 62-68-72-80-84-90 sts on a stitch holder (= sleeve), cast on 6-6-8-8-10-12 new sts under sleeve, work as before over the next 111-121-129-141-153-165 sts on front piece(i.e 11 st in A.3, 89-99-107-119-131-143 knit sts, 11 sts in A.2)slip the next 62-68-72-80-84-90 sts on a stitch holder (= sleeve), cast on 6-6-8-8-10-12 new sts under sleeve and work the remaining 100-110-118-130-142-154 sts on back piece as before (i.e 11 sts in A.3 and 89-99-107-119-131-143 knit sts). Finish body and sleeves separately. BODY: = 234-254-274-298-326-354 sts. Insert 1 marker in the piece. Work next round as follows: Work A.4 (12 sts), knit 4-4-6-6-8-10 sts, A.5 (=11 sts), knit until mid-st, make 1 yarn over, knit 1 (= mid-st), make 1 yarn over, knit until A.2, work A.4 (= 12 sts), knit 4-4-6-6-8-10 sts, A.5 (= 12 sts), knit until mid-st, make 1 yarn over, knit 1 (= mid-st), make 1 yarn over and knit the rest of round (= 4 sts increased). Continue pattern like this while AT THE SAME TIME continuing to increase mid front and mid back on every 2nd round until inc has been done 20 times on each side of mid front/mid back from marker - READ KNITTING TIP-2 = 314-334-354-378-406-434 sts on needle (or work until desired length). On next round work sts in each cable K tog 2 by 2 (= 12 sts dec) = 302-322-342-366-394-422 sts. Switch to circular needle size 4 mm / US 6 and work 2 ridges in garter st in the round over all sts. Switch back to circular needle size 5 mm / US 8 and bind off (this is done to avoid a tight bind-off edge). SLEEVE: Worked in the round on a short circular needle, switch to double pointed needles when needed. Slip the sts from stitch holder in one side of piece on a short circular needle size 5 mm / US 8 and pick up 1 st in each of the 6-6-8-8-10-12 sts cast on under sleeve on body = 68-74-80-88-94-102 sts on needle. Insert 1 marker at beg of round (= mid under sleeve) - NOW MEASURE PIECE FROM HERE. Work in stockinette st in the round over all sts AT THE SAME TIME on first round dec over the two cables by working sts in each cable K tog 2 by 2 (= 6 sts dec) = 62-68-74-82-88-96 sts. When piece measures 2 cm / ¾", dec 2 sts mid under sleeve - READ DECREASE TIP. Dec a total of 12-14-17-20-22-25 times in Size S: On every 4th round, in size M: On every 3rd round, in size L: Alternately on every 2nd and 3rd round, in size XL: On every other round, in size XXL: Alternately on every and every other round and size XXXL. On every round = 38-40-40-42-44-46 sts on needle. Continue to work until piece measures 22-21-20-19-17-16 cm / 8¾"-8¼"-8"-7½"-6¾"-6¼" (NOTE: Shorter measurements in the larger sizes because of wider shoulders). K 1 round while AT THE SAME TIME inc 7-10-10-8-11-9 sts evenly = 45-50-50-50-55-55 sts. Switch to double pointed needles size 4 mm / US 6 and work rib in the round = K 2/P 3. When rib measures 15 cm / 6", switch back to double pointed needles size 5 mm / US 8 before binding off with K over K and P over P (this is done to avoid a tight bind-off edge). Work the other sleeve the same way. |

Hvis i skal sætte en sværhed på den her - er den så til at have med at gøre når man ikke er den store strikkeekspert ? er de her snoninger svære ?

Hej Connie, nej egentlig er den ikke svær, bare man følger opskriften sætning efter sætning. Du kan også se en instruktionsvideo på selve snoningerne, så dem kan du let lære - God fornøjelse :)

Kan jeg strikke denne model uden at den kommer til at gå ned i en spids foran og bagpå? Jeg vil gerne strikke den så den bliver lidt lang, men så den går lige over forneden.
10.08.2019 - 18:12DROPS Design answered:
Hej Malene, det er udtagningerne midt foran og bagpå som gør at det formes som en poncho. Men husk at hvis du undlader dem, så vil omkredsen også blive smallere. Vi kan desværre ikke hjælpe dig med at skrive opskriften om :)

Thank you, yes. I tried to delete my question but did not know how. I figured out what to do after I went to bed. Could not sleep and after thinking about it for some time, I figured out how it was to be done. Thank you!

I am making the size large and have the correct number of stitches after the inc. row (94) but can't get the next row to fit. Inc. row has A1's with 18 stitches but next row has A3's with 20 stitches. I have put markers to mark off the A1 groups, the sleeves and the 9 stitches for front and back. Are you able to advise what I am misinterpreting regarding the second row, that is making it not fit the 94 stitches?

Dear Mrs Poirier, see answer below and let us know if you get it. Happy knitting!

But with that row having all A1, groups of 18 stitches, the next row doesn't fit because of A3 groups that have 20 stitches. Am I misinterpreting something in the row following the increase row? I am using markers to mark the stitches for the A1,groups, the sleeves, and the 9 stitches for the front and back. I can't get the A3 group to fit. Any advice or suggestion?
16.05.2019 - 05:56DROPS Design answered:
Dear Mrs Poirier, A.3 will be worked over the 18 sts in A.1 + the next 2 sts (front piece), then work the next 7 sts on front piece as follows: K1, (inc 2= K1, YO, K1, YO), K1 (=marker), (inc 2= YO, K1, YO, K1), K1, work the next 2 sts in A.2B then A.2A over the next 18 sts - repeat on back piece, ending with A.2B (last 2 sts of the 9 sts of the round). Happy knitting!

Zdravím, pročítám postup po několikáté a nerozumím, kde všude mám na sedle přidávat? Rozumím, že přidávám na. čtyřech místech dle rozpisu na rukávech - viz. RAGL.

Dobrý den, Aleno, na uvedených místech přidáváte celkem 39x nad sebou, přesněji v každé 2. kruhové řadě. Příjemné pletení! Hana

I've finished the 13 increases every 2nd round on sleeve and the 14 sets of rows where I increase 2 stitches on each side of the marked center stitch. Now I am to increase only one stitch on each side of the center marked stitch on both the front and back. The trouble is that when I do this, combined with the reduced stitches at the beginning of A2 and end of A3, I'm no long increasing at all on the front and back for the next 40 rows. Is this right? It doesn't seem right.
27.01.2019 - 03:35DROPS Design answered:
Dear Mrs Kerr, the number of sts in A.2/A.3 should be always the same, the decreases there are compensated by a yarn over - see previous answer. Happy knitting!

Sorry that I keep starting a new thread. I can't figure out how to reply to a conversation.

This is what I read: "Work A.2A (= 18 sts), inc 1 st, knit 2, inc 1 st for sleeve, work A.3 (*= 20 sts*), inc 2 sts on each side, work A.2B (*= 2 sts*), work A.2A (=18 sts), inc 1 st for sleeve, knit 2 sts, inc 1 st for sleeve, work A.3 (*= 20 sts*), inc 2 sts on each side, work A.2B (*= 2 sts*) = 102 sts on needle." But where I've put the **, that's not the number of stitches that end up on the needle because you reduce 1 in that pattern. So 18+1+2+1+19+7+1+18+1+2+1+19+7+1=98. NOT 102.
25.01.2019 - 18:44DROPS Design answered:
Dear Mrs Kerr, you are not supposed to decrease any stitches in these diagrams, ie in A.2B ends with K2 tog, YO (= 2 sts). A.3 ends (after last 2 P sts) with YO, slip 1 as if to K, K1, psso = A.3 should still have 20 sts. Happy knitting!
