Fresh Lime - Knitted jumper in DROPS Air. The piece is worked with double neck. Sizes 2 – 12 years. - Free pattern by DROPS Design
-------------------------------------------------------
EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN:
-------------------------------------------------------
INCREASE TIP:
Work until there are 2 stitches left before the marker thread, make 1 yarn over, knit 4 (marker thread sits in the
middle of these 4 stitches), 1 yarn over. On the next round knit the yarn overs twisted to avoid holes (= 2 stitches
increased).
CASTING-OFF TIP:
To avoid the cast-off edge being tight you can cast off with a larger size needle. If the edge is still tight, make 1
yarn over after approx. each 4th stitch at the same time as casting off; the yarn overs are cast off as normal
stitches.
-------------------------------------------------------
START THE PIECE HERE:
-------------------------------------------------------
JUMPER – SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE:
The piece is worked in the round, bottom up as far as the armholes, then the front and back pieces are finished
separately. The sleeves are worked in the round with double pointed needles, bottom up as far as the sleeve cap,
then back and forth. The neck is worked to finish.
BODY:
Cast on 112-120-128-132-140-148 stitches with short circular needle size 4 mm and DROPS Air. Knit 1 round.
Then work rib (knit 1, purl 1) for 4 cm. Change to circular needle size 5 mm.
Work stocking stitch.
REMEMBER THE KNITTING TENSION!
When the piece measures 19-21-24-27-30-31 cm, cast off for the armholes on the next round as follows:
Cast off the first 6 stitches, knit 50-54-58-60-64-68 (= front piece), cast off 6 stitches and knit the last 50-54-58-
60-64-68 stitches (= back piece). The front and back pieces are finished separately:
BACK PIECE:
Continue with stocking stitch, AT THE SAME TIME cast off for the armholes at the beginning of each row: 2
stitches 1 time and 1 stitch 1 time on each side = 44-48-52-54-58-62 stitches.
When the piece measures 31-34-38-42-46-48 cm, cast off the middle 18-20-22-24-26-28 stitches for the neck
and finish each shoulder separately (= 13-14-15-15-16-17 stitches on each shoulder).
Cast off 1 stitch on the next row from the neck = 12-13-14-14-15-16 stitches. Continue with stocking stitch until
the piece measures 33-36-40-44-48-50 cm (= 14-15-16-17-18-19 cm from the bottom of the armhole), cast off.
Work the other shoulder in the same way.
FRONT PIECE:
Work in the same way as the back piece until the piece measures 29-31-35-38-42-43 cm = 44-48-52-54-58-62
stitches.
Place the middle 14-16-18-18-20-22 stitches on a thread for the neck and finish each shoulder separately (= 15-

16-17-18-19-20 stitches on each shoulder).
Cast off on each row from the neck as follows: 2 stitches 1 time and 1 stitch 1-1-1-2-2-2 times = 12-13-14-14-
15-16 stitches. Continue working until the piece measures 33-36-40-44-48-50 cm (= 14-15-16-17-18-19 cm from
the bottom of the armhole), cast off. Work the other shoulder in the same way.
SLEEVES:
Cast on 32-34-36-38-40-42 stitches with double pointed needles size 4 mm and DROPS Air. Knit 1 round then
work rib (knit 1, purl 1) for 4 cm. Change to double pointed needles size 5 mm and work stocking stitch. Insert a
marker thread at the beginning of the round = mid-under the sleeve. When the sleeve measures 8 cm, increase 1
stitch on each side of the marker thread – read INCREASE TIP.
Increase like this every 2-3-3½-4-4-4½ cm a total of 7-7-7-7-8-8 times = 46-48-50-52-56-58 stitches.
When the sleeve measures 24-28-32-35-39-42 cm, cast off 3 stitches on each side of the marker thread and work
the sleeve cap back and forth
Cast off at the beginning of each row as follows:
2 stitches 2 times and 1 stitch 1-1-2-2-2-2 times on each side. Then cast off 2 stitches on each side until the
sleeve measures 28-33-37-41-45-49 cm, 3 stitches 1 time on each side, then cast off the remaining stitches. The
sleeve measures approx. 29-34-38-42-46-50 cm. Work the other sleeve in the same way.
ASSEMBLY:
Sew the shoulder seams. Sew in the sleeves.
NECK:
Start at one shoulder seam and knit up 48 to 74 stitches (including the stitches on the thread and stitch-number
divisible by 2) around the neck with circular needle size 4 mm. Work rib in the round (knit 1, purl 1) for 8 cm.
Cast off with knit over knit and purl over purl – read CASTING-OFF TIP.
ASSEMBLY:
Fold the neck double to the inside and sew down. To avoid the neck being tight and rolling outwards, it is
important that the seam is elastic.
