INFORMATION FOR PATTERN:
ELEVATION:
Insert 1 marker thread mid back = beginning of round. Begin from right side and knit 7-8-8-9-9-10 stitches past marker thread, turn, tighten yarn and purl 14-16-16-18-18-20 stitches. Turn, tighten yarn and knit 21-24-24-27-27-30, turn, tighten yarn and purl 28-32-32-36-36-40. Turn, tighten yarn and knit 35-40-40-45-45-50, turn, tighten yarn and purl 42-48-48-54-54-60. Turn and K until mid back.
PATTERN:
See diagram A.1. Choose diagram for your size.
Diagrams show all rows in pattern seen from the right side.
Work all stiches in pattern in stocking stitch.
KNITTING TIP:
To avoid the knitting tension to tighten when working pattern, it is important not to tighten the strands on back side of piece. Switch to a higher needle number when working pattern if the pattern is somewhat tight.
DECREASE/INCREASE TIP (evenly):
To calculate how to decrease/increase evenly, use the total number of stitches on row (e.g. 80 stitches) and divide stitches by number of decreased/increases to be done (e.g. 3) = 26.6.
In this example knit alternately approx. every 25th and 26th stitch and every 26th and 27th stitch together when decreasing.
when increasing make 1 yarn over after alternately 26th and 27th stitch, on next round knit yarn over twisted to avoid holes.
INCREASE TIP (applies to sides of body):
Increase on each side of marker as follows:
Begin 2 stitches before marker thread and make 1 yarn over, knit 4 stitches (marker thread is in the middle of these 4 stitches), make 1 yarn over (= 2 stitches increased). Repeat at the other marker thread. On next round knit yarn overs twisted to avoid holes.
DECREASE TIP (applies to mid under sleeves):
Begin 2 stitches before marker thread, knit 2 together, marker thread is here, slip 1 stitch knitwise, knit 1, pass slipped stitch over stitch worked (= 2 stitches decreased).
----------------------------------------------------------
JUMPER:
Worked top down in the round on circular needle. Beginning of round is mid back. Work sleeves in the round on double pointed needles.
YOKE:
Cast on 80-84-88-92-96-100 stitches on a short circular needle size 5 mm with medium grey. Work rib = knit 2/purl 2 for 4 cm. Knit 1 round while decreasing 3-4-5-4-5-4 stitches evenly - read INCREASE/DECREASE (evenly) = 77-80-83-88-91-96 stitches.
Switch to a short circular needle size 5.5 mm. For better fit work a small ELEVATION - see explanation above, at the back of neck.
When elevation is done, knit 1 round while increasing 7-10-13-14-17-18 stitches evenly = 84-90-96-102-108-114 stitches.
Now work PATTERN – see explanation above, as follows:
Work and increase according to diagram A.1 (= 14-15-16-17-18-19 repetitions of 6 stitches) - read KNITTING TIP!
When entire diagram A.1 has been worked vertically, there are 224-240-256-272-288-304 stitches on round and piece measures approx. 23-23-23-25-25-25 cm from cast-on edge. Then work with medium grey until finished measurements. Work the different sizes as follows:
SIZE S:
Knit 1 round while at the same time decreasing 4 stitches evenly = 220 stitches. Continue until piece measures 25 cm from cast-on edge. Size S is now done, continue from ALL SIZES.
SIZE M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL:
Increase 6-5-8-8-8 stitches evenly every 5th-5th-5th-7th-6th round 1-2-2-2-3 times = 246-266-288-304-328 stitches. Work until piece measures 27-28-30-32-34 cm.
ALL SIZES:
Work next round as follows: Work the first 31-35-38-42-46-50 stitches (= half back piece), slip the next 47-52-56-59-60-64 stitches on a stitch holder (= sleeve), cast on 6-6-8-8-10-10 new stitches on needle (= in the side under sleeve), work the next 63-71-77-85-92-100 stitches (= front piece), slip the next 47-52-56-59-60-64 stitches on a stitch holder (= sleeve), cast on 6-6-8-8-10-10 new stitches on needle (= in the side under sleeve), work the remaining 32-36-39-43-46-50 stitches (= half back piece). NOW MEASURE PIECE FROM HERE!
BODY:
= 138-154-170-186-204-220 stitches. Insert 1 marker thread in the middle of the 6-6-8-8-10-10 new stitches that were cast on under sleeve in each side. Work in stocking stitch in the round. When piece measures 4 cm from division, increase 2 stitches in each side - READ INCREASE TIP (= 4 stitches increased). Repeat increase when piece measures 12 cm and 20 cm = 150-166-182-198-216-232 stitches. Continue to work until piece measures 27-27-28-28-28-28 cm. Knit 1 round while increasing 30-30-30-34-36-40 stitches evenly = 180-196-212-232-252-272 stitches. Switch to circular needle size 5 mm. Work rib (= knit 2/purl 2). When rib measures 6 cm, cast off with knit over knit and purl over purl but to avoid a tight cast-off edge make 1 yarn over after every 4th stitch (cast off yarn overs as regular stitches). Piece measures approx. 58-60-62-64-66-68 cm from shoulder.
SLEEVES:
Slip the 47-52-56-59-60-64 stitches from stitch holder in one side of piece on double pointed needles size 5.5 mm and pick in addition up 1 stitch in each of the 6-6-8-8-10-10 new stitches cast on under sleeve = 53-58-64-67-70-74 stitches. Insert 1 marker thread in the middle of the 6-6-8-8-10-10 stitches. Begin round here and work in stocking stitch in the round. When piece measures 4 cm from division, decrease 2 stitches under sleeve - READ DECREASE TIP. Decrease like this every 7th-5th-4th-4th-3rd-3rd round 9-11-13-13-14-14 times = 35-36-38-41-42-46 stitches. Continue until piece measures 34-32-32-30-28-27 cm from division. Knit 1 round while increasing 1-4-2-3-2-2 stitches evenly = 36-40-40-44-44-48 stitches. Switch to double pointed needles size 5 mm. Work rib (= knit 2/purl 2). When rib measures 6 cm, cast off with knit over knit and purl over purl but to avoid a tight cast-off edge make 1 yarn over after every 4th stitch (cast off yarn overs as regular stitches). Sleeve measures approx. 40-38-38-36-34-33 cm from division. Work the other sleeve the same way. |
