EXPLANATION FOR THE PATTERN: ---------------------------------------------------------- PATTERN: See diagram A.1. INCREASE TIP (evenly): To calculate how to increase evenly, use the total number of stitches on row (e.g. 42 stitches) and divide stitches by number of increases to be done (e.g. 6) = 7. In this example increase by making 1 yarn over after every 7th stitch. On next round work yarn overs twisted to avoid holes. STRIPES YOKE AND BODY: Measure first stripe from marker, i.e. after rib in neck. Work 14-15-16-16-17-17 cm = 5 1/2”-6”-6 1/4”-6 1/4”-6 3/4”-6 3/4” with 1 strand off white and pink sand (= 2 strands) Work 18-19-20-21-22-23 cm = 7”-7 1/2”-8”-8 1/4”-8 3/4”-9” with 1 strand pink sand and 1 strand light rust (= 2 strands). Then work with 1 strand pale rust and 1 strand rust (= 2 strands) until finished measurements. STRIPES SLEEVE: Continue with 2nd stripe, i.e. 1 strand pink sand + light rust (= 2 strands) until stripe measures 18-19-20-21-22-23 cm = 7”-7 1/2”-8”-8 1/4”-8 3/4”-9” including that worked on yoke. Then work with 1 strand pale rust and 1 strand rust (= 2 strands) until finished measurements. RAGLAN: Increase 1 stitch on each side of marker thread as follows: Work until 1 stitch remains before marker thread, 1 yarn over, knit 2 (marker thread is in the middle of these stitches), 1 yarn over. Repeat at each of the remaining marker threads (= 8 stitches increased on round). On next round knit the yarn overs to make holes. Then work the new stitches in moss stitch (A.1). KNITTING TIP: To make a more even transition between round decrease 1 stitch on round to make number of stitches uneven (divisible by 2 + 1). Then work moss stitch (A.1) in the round in a spiral. When increasing stitches before rib, increase 1 stitch more than stated in pattern to make number of stitches even (divisible by 2). DECREASE TIP (applies to sleeves): Decrease 2 stitches on each side of marker thread under sleeve as follows: Work until 3 stitches remain before marker thread, knit 3 together (= 2 stitches decreased), marker thread is here, work next stitch in A.1 as before, knit 3 together. BIND-OFF TIP: To avoid a tight bind-off edge you may use a larger needle. If this also is too tight, make 1 yarn over after approx. every 4th stitch and bind off these as regular stitches. ---------------------------------------------------------- START THE PIECE HERE: ---------------------------------------------------------- SWEATER - SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE: Neck edge and yoke are worked in the round on circular needle, top down. Now divide yoke for body and sleeves. Work body in the round on circular needle. Work sleeves in the round on double pointed needles/a short circular needle. NECK EDGE: Cast on 42-44-44-48-50-52 stitches on circular needle size 8 mm = US 11 with 1 strand off white and 1 strand pink sand (= 2 strands). Knit 1 round. Now work rib (= knit 1/purl 1) for 4 cm = 1 1/2”. When rib is done, knit 1 round while at the same time increasing 6-4-8-4-6-4 stitches evenly - read INCREASE TIP (evenly)= 48-48-52-52-56-56 stitches. Knit 1 round (knit yarn overs twisted). Switch to circular needle size 10 mm = US 15. Insert 1 marker after rib, measure yoke from this marker! YOKE: Now work STRIPES YOKE AND BODY – read explanation above, and pattern as follows: Insert a marker thread here (= in transition between left sleeve and back piece), knit 1, 1 yarn over, A.1 over the next 13-13-15-15-17-17 stitches, 1 yarn over, knit 1, insert a marker thread here (= in transition between back piece and right sleeve), knit 1, 1 yarn over, A.1 over the next 7 stitches in all sizes, 1 yarn over, knit 1 insert a marker thread here (= in transition between right sleeve and front piece), knit 1, 1 yarn over, A.1 over the next 13-13-15-15-17-17 stitches, 1 yarn over, knit 1, insert a marker thread here (= in transition between front piece and left sleeve), knit 1, 1 yarn over, A.1 over the next 7 stitches in all sizes, 1 yarn over, knit 1. 1 stitch has been increased on each side of the marker threads for RAGLAN - read explanation above. REMEMBER THE KNITTING GAUGE! Continue in the round like this and increase every other round 12-14-14-16-18-20 times in total = 144-160-164-180-200-216 stitches. Continue with pattern and stripes without increasing until piece measures 19-19-21-23-25-27 cm = 7 1/2”-7 1/2”-8 1/4”-9”-9 3/4”-10 5/8” from marker. Now divide piece for body and sleeves. Work next round as follows: Work pattern as before over the first 39-43-45-49-55-59 stitches (= back piece), slip the next 33-37-37-41-45-49 stitches on a stitch holder (= sleeve), cast on 5 new stitches on needle (= in the side under sleeve), work the next 39-43-45-49-55-59 stitches (= front piece), slip the next 33-37-37-41-45-49 stitches on a stitch holder (= sleeve), cast on 5 new stitches (in the side under sleeve). Then finish body and sleeves separately. NOW MEASURE PIECE FROM HERE! BODY: = 88-96-100-108-120-128 stitches. Insert 1 marker thread in one side, before the middle stitch cast on in the side under sleeve. Move the marker thread upwards when working. It shows beginning of round and where to change colors in stripes. Continue with stripes and work A.1 in the round over all stitches on round - make sure that pattern fits as before over stitches from yoke - read KNITTING TIP. When piece measures 24-26-26-26-26-26 cm = 9 1/2”-10 1/4”-10 1/4”-10 1/4”-10 1/4”-10 1/4” from division, knit 1 round while increasing 18-20-20-22-24-26 stitches evenly = 106-116-120-130-144-154 stitches. Switch to circular needle size 8 mm = US 11. Work rib (knit 1/purl 1) in the round for 4 cm = 1 1/2”. Bind off with knit over knit and purl over purl - read BIND-OFF TIP. Sweater measures approx. 52-54-56-58-60-62 cm = 20 1/2"-21 1/4"-22"-22 3/4"-23 5/8"-24 3/8" from shoulder and down. SLEEVES: Slip the 33-37-37-41-45-49 stitches from stitch holder in one side of piece back on a short circular needle size 10 mm = US 15 and pick in addition up 1 stitch in each of the 5 stitches cast on under sleeves = 38-42-42-46-50-54 stitches. Insert a marker thread before the middle of the 5 new stitches cast on under sleeve. Move marker thread upwards when working. Use marker later when decreasing stitches under sleeve. Work STRIPES SLEEVE - see explanation above, and work moss stitch (A.1) in the round - make sure that moss stitch fits as before over stitches from yoke. When piece measures 4 cm = 1 1/2”, decrease 2 stitch on each side of the middle stitch under sleeve (= stitch after marker thread) - read DECREASE TIP = 34-38-38-42-46-50 stitches. Continue to work in the round in moss stitch (A.1) - remember KNITTING TIP. Continue like this until piece measures 24-24-23-21-20-18 cm = 9 1/2”-9 1/2”-9”-8 1/4”-8”-7” (shorter measurements in the larger sizes because of longer yoke). Knit 1 round while increasing 6-8-8-8-10-10 stitches evenly = 40-46-46-50-56-60 stitches. Switch to circular needle size 8 mm = US 11. Work rib (knit 1/purl 1) in the round for 4 cm = 1 1/2”. Bind off with knit over knit and purl over purl - read BIND-OFF TIP. Sleeve measures approx. 28-28-27-25-24-22 cm = 11”-11”-10 5/8”-9 3/4”-9 1/2”-8 3/4”. Work the other sleeve the same way.
