------------------------------------------------------- EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN: ------------------------------------------------------- RIDGE/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. DECREASE TIP (evenly spaced): To work out how to decrease evenly, count the total number of stitches on needle (e.g. 113 stitches) minus the edge stitches (e.g. 6 stitches) and divide the remaining stitches by the number of decreases to be made (e.g. 33) = 3.2. In this example decrease by knitting together approx. each 2nd and 3rd stitch. V-NECK: All decreases are worked from the right side! RIGHT FRONT PIECE: Work 1 edge stitch in garter stitch, knit 3, slip 1 stitch as if to knit, knit 1 and pass the slipped stitch over the knitted stitch (= 1 stitch decreased), work to end of row. LEFT FRONT PIECE: Work until there are 6 stitches left, knit 2 together (= 1 stitch decreased), work to end of row. INCREASE TIP (for sleeves): Work until there are 2 stitches left before the marker, 1 yarn over, knit 4 (marker sits between these 4 stitches), 1 yarn over. On the next round knit the yarn overs twisted to avoid holes. Then work the new stitches in stocking stitch. PICOT: Cast off as follows with 1 strand of each quality (= 2 strands): Knit 1, * insert right needle between the next 2 stitches (not through the stitches), make 1 yarn over, pull the yarn over through the stitches and place on left needle *, work from *-* a total of 3 times (= 3 yarn overs on left needle), knit and cast off 7 stitches (= 1 stitch + 3 yarn overs + 3 stitches). Work from *-* and cast off 7 stitches in the same way along the whole edge. When there are not enough stitches to work another picot, cast off the remaining stitches as usual. Cut the strands and pull them through the last stitch. ------------------------------------------------------- START THE PIECE HERE: ------------------------------------------------------- JACKET – SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE: The back and front pieces are worked separately, back and forth. The back piece is 5 cm longer than the front. The sleeves are worked in the round as far as the armholes, then finished back and forth. The piece is sewn together to finish.

Cast off the remaining stitches. The sleeve measures approx. 51 cm in all sizes. Work the other sleeve in the same way. ASSEMBLY: Sew the shoulder seams inside the cast-off edge. Sew the sleeves to the body inside the 1 edge stitch on the body and the cast-off edge on the sleeve. Sew the side seams, leaving 5 cm split on the front piece and 10 cm on the back piece. Insert a marker mid-back of neck. RIGHT BAND: With circular needle size 4.5 mm and 1 strand of each quality, start at the bottom of the right front piece and knit up 144 to 168 stitches inside the 1 edge stitch as far as the marker mid-back. The number of stitches should be divisible by 4. Work rib from the wrong side as follows: 1 edge stitch in garter stitch, (purl 2, knit 2) until there are 3 stitches left, purl 2 and 1 edge stitch in garter stitch. Continue this rib back and forth for 3 cm. Work 2 buttonholes: 1 buttonhole = cast off 2 stitches. On the next row cast on 2 stitches over the cast-off stitches – NOTE: It is neatest to work the buttonholes in a purled section (seen from the right side). The bottom buttonhole is 6 cm below the bottom of the V-neck and the top buttonhole where the V-neck starts. Continue the rib for 3 cm (6 cm in total) – adjust so the next row is from the right side. Now cast off with PICOT – read description above. LEFT BAND: With circular needle size 4.5 mm and 1 strand of each quality, start at the marker mid-back and knit up 144 to 168 stitches inside the 1 edge stitch down to the bottom of the front piece. The number of stitches should be divisible by 4. Work rib from the wrong side as follows: 1 edge stitch in garter stitch, (purl 2, knit 2) until there are 3 stitches left, purl 2 and 1 edge stitch in garter stitch. Continue this rib back and forth for 6 cm – adjust so the next row is from the right side. Now cast off with picot. |

Hi, can I get help with these instructions?: Decrease like this every 4th row 1 time, every 2nd row 15-14-13-15-14-13 times and every 4th row 1-2-3-2-3-4 times. I am confused by the wording of these instructions. How are the 2nd and 4th row different? and I am confused by the 4th row having instructions twice. Please help!

Dear Lin, After the first decrease, work 3 rows without decreasing, then decrease on every 2nd row as follows: *work 1 row decreasing, 1 row without decreasing*, repeat from *-* the number of times stated for your size. Then decrease on every 4th row, work as follows: *work 1 row decreasing, 3 rows without decreasing*, and repeat from *-* the number of times for your size. Happy knitting!

How do zip adjust the back to make it the same length as the front please?
21.05.2022 - 22:56DROPS Design answered:
Dear Marylin, the back piece is 5 cm longer than the front, so you should work the same amount of rib cm in the front as in the back. Happy knitting!

Hello! What about this part? A.1 over the next 2 stitches, A.2 over the next 104-112-120-132-144-160 stitches (= 26-28-30-33-36-40 repeats of 4 stitches) and 3 edge stitches in garter stitch. is this a yarn over?
15.05.2022 - 05:58DROPS Design answered:
Dear Grace, when you knit A.1 over 2 stitches, you work K1, 1 yarn over, K1. A.2 is worked as: P1, K2tog, yarn over and K1; this is repeated over the 104.... stitches. Next row, you will work knit over knit and purl over purl, and yarn overs are purled as well. Happy knitting!
