GARTER ST (back and forth):
K all rows. 1 ridge = K2 rows.
PATTERN:
See diagrams A.1 to A.13. The diagrams show all rows in pattern seen from RS. See diagram for correct size.
SHORT ROWS:
When turning in short rows, slip first st as if to K. Tighten thread and make sure to avoid big holes.
INCREASE TIP:
All inc are done from RS.
Inc 1 st by making 1 YO, on next row P YO twisted to avoid holes.
----------------------------------------------------------
TOP:
Work from the middle of V-neck and out in 3 triangles on front piece and 4 triangles on back piece, then work downwards.
FRONT PIECE:
Work back and forth from neck and down. Cast on 8 sts on circular needle
size 4 mm / US 6 with Belle. K 1 row. On next row inc as follows: * K
1, 1 YO *, repeat from *-* until 1 st remains and finish with K 1 = 15
sts on needle. Work next row as follows (from RS): Work YOs from
previous row twisted, they should not make holes. Work 3 sts in GARTER
ST - see explanation above, A.1, insert 1st marker, A.1, insert 2nd
marker, A.1 (= repeat A.1 3 times in total on row), finish with 3 sts in
garter st. REMEMBER THE KNITTING GAUGE When A.1 has been worked 1 time
vertically, there are 123-123-123-123-129-129 sts on needle. Piece
measures approx. 11-11-11-11-12-12 cm / 4?"-4?"-4?"-4?"-4 3/4"-4 3/4"
from cast-on edge.
Work next row as follows from RS: Work A.2 over the first
42-42-42-42-44-44 sts, A.3 over the next 39-39-39-39-41-41 sts and A.4
over the last 42-42-42-42-44-44 sts, after A.4 cast on 8 sts at the end
of row for shoulder (see diagram). Work A.4 to A.2 on next row, after
A.2 cast on 8 sts at the end of row for shoulder (see diagram).
When A.2 to A.4 have been worked 1 time vertically, there are
165-165-183-183-193-193 sts on needle. Piece measures approx.
15-15-17-17-19-19 cm / 6"-6"-6 3/4"-6 3/4"-7?"-7?" from cast-on edge.
READ ALL OF THE FOLLOWING SECTION BEFORE CONTINUING! WORK PATTERN AS
BEFORE WHILE AT THE SAME TIME WORKING SHORT ROWS IN EACH SIDE OF PIECE.
PATTERN:
Work next row as follows from RS: Work 1 st in garter st,
48-48-52-52-55-55 sts in stockinette st, work A.5 over the next 6 sts,
(marker), A.6 over the next 6 sts, 43-43-53-53-57-57 sts in stockinette
st, A.7 over the next 6 sts, (marker), A.8 over the next 6 sts,
48-48-52-52-55-55 sts in stockinette st, finish with 1 st in garter st.
Repeat A.5 to A.8 over the 6 sts on each side of each marker 2-3-2-3-4-5
times in total, then repeat the first 0-0-6-4-4-4 rows of A.5 to A.8 1
more times.
SHORT ROWS:
AT THE SAME TIME when 2-6-0-2-0-6 rows of A.5 to A.8 have been worked,
work SHORT ROWS - see explanation above - in each side of piece as
follows: Work until 26-26-24-23-18-18 sts remain on row (work A.5 to A.8
as before), turn and work until 26-26-24-23-18-18 sts remain, turn
piece. Then work short rows in the different sizes as follows:
SIZE M:
Work 6 sts less for every turn 2 times in each side of piece.
SIZE L-XL:
Work 6 sts less for every turn 1-2 times in each side of piece, then
work 4 sts less on every turn 3-2 times in each side of piece.
SIZE XXL-XXXL:
Work 6 sts less for every turn 1-1 time in each side of piece, then work
4 sts less for every turn 4-4 times in each side of piece, then work 2
sts less on every turn 4-5 times in each side of piece.
ALL SIZES:
When the short rows have been worked, work last row from WS, so that next row beg from shoulder.
Then work over all sts from RS as follows: Work in garter st over the
first 42-44-46-48-50-52 sts AT THE SAME TIME inc 0-2-4-4-6-6 sts evenly,
work as before (i.e. A.5 to A.8 and stockinette st) until
42-44-46-48-50-52 sts remain, work in garter st over the last sts AT THE
SAME TIME inc 0-2-4-4-6-6 sts evenly (= 42-46-50-52-56-58 sts in garter
st in each side of piece).
Work 3 rows in garter st over the outermost 42-46-50-52-56-58 sts in
garter st in each side of piece, pattern and stockinette st over the
remaining sts. On next row from WS work as follows: bind off with K over
the first 40-44-48-50-54-56 sts for armhole, work 2 sts in garter st,
work in stockinette st and pattern as before until 42-46-50-52-56-58 sts
remain, 2 sts in garter st, bind off with K over the last
40-44-48-50-54-56 sts for armhole. Cut the yarn. 8-8-8-12-12-12 rows of
A.5 to A.8 remain. Beg next row from RS.
Continue to work in garter st over the first and last 2 sts in each side
of piece. When A.5 to A.8 have been worked, there are 23-25-26-27-32-34
sts before 1st marker, 79-91-99-107-123-135 sts between 1st and 2nd
marker and 23-25-26-27-32-34 sts after 2nd marker =
125-141-151-161-187-203 sts in total on row.
Piece measures approx. 21-24-25-27-32-35 cm / 8 1/4"-9?"-9
3/4"-10?"-12?"-13 3/4" on the widest measured from cast-on edge. Insert 1
marker in piece, NOW MEASURE PIECE FROM HERE. On next row from RS
loosely bind off the first 22-24-25-26-31-33 sts with K, work 1 edge st
in garter st, (marker), work A.9 over the first 6 sts after marker,
stockinette st over the next 67-79-87-95-111-123 sts, A.10 over the last
6 sts before second marker, (marker), 1 edge st in garter st, loosely
bind off the last 22-24-25-26-31-33 sts = 81-93-101-109-125-137 sts
remain on needle. Cut the yarn. Work next row from WS over the remaining
sts as follows: 1 edge st in garter st, A.10 as before, stockinette st
over the next 67-79-87-95-111-123 sts, A.9 as before, 1 edge st in
garter st. When A.9 and A.10 have been worked 1 time vertically,
continue in stockinette st with 1 edge st in garter st in each side of
piece.
When piece measures 3 cm / 1'' from marker, inc 1 st in each side of
piece inside 1 edge st (= 2 sts inc) - READ INCREASE TIP. Repeat inc
every 1?-1?-1?-1-1-1 cm / ?"-?"-?"-3/8"-3/8"-3/8" 12-10-12-14-12-13
times in total = 105-113-125-137-149-163 sts on needle. When piece
measures 23-23-24-24-23-23 cm / 9"-9"-9?"-9?"-9"-9" from marker (piece
measures 53-55-57-59-61-63 cm / 21''-21 5/8''-22?''-23?''-24''-24?'' in
total from shoulder), adjust so that next row is from RS, switch to
circular needle size 3.5 mm / US 4. Work next row from RS as follows:
Work 1 edge st in garter st, work A.11 (= 2 sts) until 2 sts remain,
work first st in A.11, finish with 1 edge st in garter st. On row with
holes (i.e. 7th row) work next to last st K. Bind off when A.11 has been
worked 1 time vertically. Piece measures 56-58-60-62-64-66 cm /
22''-22?''-23 5/8''-24 3/8''-25?''-26'' in total from shoulder.
BACK PIECE:
Piece is first worked in the round, then worked as front piece. Cast on 6
sts on double pointed needles size 4 mm / US 6 with Belle, switch to
circular needle when needed. K 1 row. On next row inc as follows: * K 1,
1 YO *, repeat from *-* = 12 sts on row, K YOs twisted on next row,
they should not make holes. Work A.1 4 times in total, insert 1 marker
between each A.1 (= 4 markers). When A.1 has been worked 1 time
vertically, there are 156-156-156-156-164-164 sts on needle. Continue as
follows: A.12 over the first 39-39-39-39-41-41 sts, work A.3 over the
next 39-39-39-39-41-41 sts and A.13 over the last 39-39-39-39-41-41 sts,
slip the remaining sts on a stitch holder for neck edge (=
39-39-39-39-41-41 sts), after A.13 cast on 11 sts at the end of row for
shoulder (see diagram). Then work back and forth on needle. Work
A.13/A.3/A.12 on next row, after A.12 cast on 11 sts at the end of row
for shoulder (see diagram). When A.12/A.3/A.13 have been worked 1 time
vertically, there are 165-165-183-183-193-193 sts on needle. Piece
measures approx. 15-15-17-17-19-19 cm / 6"-6"-6 3/4"-6 3/4"-7?"-7?" from
cast-on edge. Now continue back piece as front piece.
NECK EDGE:
Worked back and forth on needle. Slip sts from stitch holder for neck
edge on back piece back on circular needle size 3.5 mm / US 4. Work 2
ridges. Fasten ridges where sts were cast on for shoulder. Fasten off.
ASSEMBLY:
Sew the side seams inside 1 edge st in garter st. Sew shoulder seams
inside 1 edge st in garter st. Tighten tog the middle (i.e. cast-on
edge) on both front and back piece.
