Pattern for DROPS 199-1
-------------------------------------------------------
EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN:
-------------------------------------------------------
DECREASE/INCREASE TIP (evenly spaced):
To work out how to decrease/increase evenly, count the total number of stitches to be decreased/increased
over (e.g. 96 stitches), and divide by the number of decreases/increases to be made (e.g. 8) = 12.
In this example, decrease by knitting each 11th and 12th stitch together.
When increasing make 1 yarn over after each 12th stitch. On the next round, knit the yarn overs twisted to
avoid holes.
RAGLAN:
Increase 4 stitches in each transition between body and sleeves as follows:
Work until there are 4 stitches left before the marker thread, 1 yarn over, knit 1, 1 yarn over, knit 6 (the
marker thread sits in the middle of these 6 stitches), 1 yarn over, knit 1, 1 yarn over. On the next round
knit the yarn overs to leave holes. Then work the new stitches in stripes and pattern.
INCREASE TIP (for sides of body):
Work until there are 2 stitches left before the marker thread, 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. Then
work the new stitches in stripes and pattern.
DECREASE TIP (for sleeves):
Decrease 1 stitch on each side of the marker thread as follows: Work until there are 3 stitches left before
the marker thread, knit 2 together, knit 2 (marker thread sits between these 2 stitches), slip 1 stitch as if
to knit, knit 1 and pass the slipped stitch over the knitted stitch.
STRIPES AND PATTERN:
* Work 5 cm in white (including neck) and then 3 cm jeans blue * – repeat these stripes at the same time
as the whole piece is worked in pattern – see diagram A.1; when increasing to raglan work the new
stitches into the pattern as you go.

NECK:
Cast on 96-100-104-112-120-124 stitches with circular needle size 3.5 mm and white. Knit 1 round. Then
work rib (= knit 2 / purl 2) for 3 cm. Knit 1 round where you decrease 8-8-8-12-12-12 stitches evenly
spaced – read DECREASE/INCREASE TIP = 88-92-96-100-108-112 stitches. Change to circular needle size
4.5 mm. Now continue with STRIPES AND PATTERN - see description above.
YOKE:
Insert 1 marker - THE PIECE IS NOW MEASURED FROM HERE!
Insert 4 marker threads in the piece at the same time as you work stripes and pattern in the round as
follows: Knit 3 stitches (= 3 stitches on back piece), insert 1 marker thread, work the next 12-12-14-14-
16-16 stitches (= sleeve), insert 1 marker thread, work the next 32-34-34-36-38-40 stitches (= front
piece), insert 1 marker thread, work 12-12-14-14-16-16 stitches (= sleeve), insert 1 marker thread, work
the last 29-31-31-33-35-37 stitches (= back piece) after the last marker thread (there are 3 stitches left to
the first marker thread).
The next round is worked as follows: 6 stitches in pattern (marker thread sits in the middle of these 6
stitches), make 1 yarn over, knit 1, make 1 yarn over, 4-4-6-6-8-8 stitches in pattern (= sleeve), 1 yarn
over, knit 1, make 1 yarn over, 6 stitches in pattern (marker thread sits in the middle of these 6 stitches), 1
yarn over, knit 1, make 1 yarn over, 24-26-26-28-30-32 stitches in pattern (= front piece), 1 yarn over,
knit 1, make 1 yarn over, 6 stitches in pattern (marker thread sits in the middle of these 6 stitches), 1 yarn
over, knit 1, make 1 yarn over, 4-4-6-6-8-8 stitches in pattern (= sleeve), 1 yarn over, knit 1, make 1 yarn
over, 6 stitches pattern (marker thread sits in the middle of these 6 stitches), 1 yarn over, knit 1, make 1
yarn over, work 24-26-26-28-30-32 stitches in pattern (= back piece), 1 yarn over, knit 1, make 1 yarn
over.
The first increase to RAGLAN – read description above, is now finished (= 16 stitches increased on the
round). Continue to increase to raglan every 4th round a total of 11-13-14-16-17-19 times (including the
first increase described above) = 264-300-320-356-380-416 stitches on needle
Size XL and XXL: The increase for raglan is complete.
Size S, M, L and XXXL: The next round is worked as follows: 6 stitches in pattern (marker thread sits in the
middle of these 6 stitches), make 1 yarn over, work pattern until 3 sts remain before the next marker
thread (= sleeve), 1 yarn over, 6 stitches in pattern (marker thread sits in the middle of these 6 stitches),
1 yarn over, work pattern until 3 sts remain before the next marker thread (= front piece), 1 yarn over, 6
stitches in pattern (marker thread sits in the middle of these 6 stitches), 1 yarn over, work pattern until 3
sts remain before the next marker thread (= sleeve), 1 yarn over, 6 stitches in pattern (marker thread sits
in the middle of these 6 stitches), 1 yarn over, work pattern until 3 sts remain before the next marker
thread (= back piece), 1 yarn over = 8 stitches increased.
All sizes: After the last increase to raglan there are 272-308-328-356-380-424 stitches on the needle.
Continue with stripes and pattern without increasing until the piece measures 20-22-23-26-28-31 cm from
the marker at the beginning of the yoke.
The next round is worked as follows: Work 4-3-4-5-7-7 stitches (= on back piece), place the next 56-66-
70-74-76-86 stitches on 1 thread for sleeve, cast on 8-8-10-10-12-12 new stitches on needle (= in side
under sleeve), work the next 80-88-94-104-114-126 stitches (= front piece), place the next 56-66-70-74-
76-86 stitches on 1 thread for sleeve, cast on 8-8-10-10-12-12 new stitches on needle (= in side under
sleeve) and work the last 76-85-90-99-107-119 stitches (= back piece). Body and sleeves are finished
separately. THE PIECE IS NOW MEASURED FROM HERE!
BODY:

= 176-192-208-228-252-276 stitches. Insert 1 marker thread in the middle of the 8-8-10-10-12-12 new
stitches cast on under each sleeve. Start the round by one of these marker threads and allow the marker
threads to follow your work onwards; continue with stripes and pattern. When the piece measures 8 cm
from the division, increase 1 stitch on each side of both marker threads – read INCREASE TIP (= 4 stitches
increased). Repeat this increase when the piece measures 17 cm from the division = 184-200-216-236-
260-284 stitches.
When the piece measures 27-27-28-26-26-25 cm from the division (approx. 50-52-54-56-58-60 cm from
shoulder) knit 1 round where you increase 36-40-44-48-52-56 stitches evenly spaced = 220-240-260-284-
312-340 stitches.
Change to circular needle size 3.5 mm and work rib (= knit 2 / purl 2) for 4 cm. Loosely cast off with knit
over knit and purl over purl - to avoid the cast-off edge being tight you can cast off with needle size 4.5
mm. The jumper measures approx. 54-56-58-60-62-64 cm from the shoulder.
SLEEVE:
Place the 56-66-70-74-76-86 stitches from the thread on the one side of the piece on short circular
needle/double pointed needles size 4.5.mm and knit up 1 stitch in each of the 8-8-10-10-12-12 stitches
cast on under the sleeve = 64-74-80-84-88-98 stitches. Insert 1 marker thread in the middle of the 8-8-
10-10-12-12 stitches. Work stripes and pattern in the round. When the piece measures 2 cm from the
division decrease 2 stitches mid under sleeve – read DECREASE TIP. Decrease like this every 7th-5th-4th-
4th-3rd-3rd round a total of 13-17-19-20-21-25 times = 38-40-42-44-46-48 stitches. Continue working
until the sleeve measures 39-37-37-35-33-31 cm from the division (shorter measurements in larger sizes
due to longer yoke). Knit 1 round where you increase 6-4-6-8-6-8 stitches evenly spaced = 44-44-48-52-
52-56 stitches. Change to double pointed needles size 3.5 mm and work rib (= knit 2 / purl 2) for 5 cm.
The sleeve measures approx. 44-42-42-40-38-36 cm from the division. Loosely cast off with knit over knit
and purl over purl - to avoid the cast-off edge being tight you can cast off with needle size 4.5 mm. Work
the other sleeve in the same way.
