NEEDLES:
DROPS CIRCULAR NEEDLE SIZE 4 MM = US 6: Length 40 and 80 cm = 16” and 32”.

each size.

= 4” switch to larger needles. If you have too few stitches on 10 cm = 4” switch to smaller
needles.

EXPLANATION FOR THE PATTERN:

----------------------------------------------------------

PATTERN:
See diagram A.1.

RAGLAN:
Increase 1 stitch before/after 1 stitch in stockinette stitch in every transition between front
piece/back piece and sleeves.
AFTER MARKER:
Work stitch with marker, pick up yarn between stitch with marker and next stitch - pick up from
the front with left needle and knit stitch in back loop of stitch - stitch is twisted towards the left.
On next round work stitch in pattern A.1.
BEFORE MARKER:
Work until stitch with marker, pick up yarn between previous stitch and stitch with marker - pick
up from the back with left needle and knit stitch in front loop of stitch - stitch is twisted towards
the right. On next round work stitch in pattern A.1.

DECREASE TIP (applies to mid under sleeves):


Decrease 1 stitch on each side of stitch with marker as follows: Work until 2 stitches remain
before stitch with marker, knit 2 together, work 1 stitch (marker is in this stitch) slip 1 stitch
knitwise, knit 1, pass slipped stitch over stitch worked.

START THE PIECE HERE:

----------------------------------------------------------

SWEATER - SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE:


Double neck edge, yoke and body are worked in the round on circular needle, top down. Work
sleeves in the round on double pointed needles/a short circular needle.

DOUBLE NECK EDGE:


Cast on 100-104-108-112-116-120 stitches on circular needle size 4 MM = US 6 with DROPS
Sky. Switch to circular needle size 3 MM = US 2.5. Work in the round in rib (knit 2/purl 2) for 13
cm = 5 1/8" (rib is later folded double and measures approx. 6 cm = 2 3/8").

YOKE:
Switch to circular needle size 4 MM = US 6. Knit 1 round while increasing and insert markers as
follows: Knit 1 and insert 1st marker in this stitch, knit 21 (sleeve), knit 1 and insert 2nd marker
in this stitch, knit and increase 0-2-2-6-8-14 stitches evenly over the next 27-29-31-33-35-37
stitches (27-31-33-39-43-51 stitches for front piece), knit 1 and insert 3rd marker in this stitch,
knit 21 (sleeve), knit 1 and insert 4th marker in this stitch, knit and increase 0-2-2-6-8-14
stitches evenly over the next 27-29-31-33-35-37 stitches (27-31-33-39-43-51 stitches for back
piece). There are 100-108-112-124-132-148 stitches on round. Insert a marker thread mid back
(between 1st and 4th marker), measure yoke from here later.
Now work pattern according to diagram A.1 (work stitches with markers in stockinette stitch), AT
THE SAME TIME increase for RAGLAN - read explanation above!

Increase for raglan every other round at each marker 6-8-12-19-19-21 times in at every marker
total = 148-172-208-276-284-314 stitches. REMEMBER THE KNITTING GAUGE!
Read all of the following section before continuing!
Now change the increase and increase differently on body and sleeve:
BODY: Increase after 2nd and 4th marker and before 3rd and 1st marker. Continue increase like
this every other round until increase has been done 24-24-22-19-21-21 more times, 30-32-34-
38-40-42 times in total on body.
SLEEVE: Increase after 1st and 3rd marker and before 2nd and 4th marker. Continue increase
like this every 4th round until increase has been done 11-11-10-9-9-9 times, 17-19-22-28-28-
30 times in total on sleeve.

When all increases for raglan are done, there are 288-312-336-388-404-436 stitches on round.
Work pattern without increase until piece measures 22-24-25-27-29-31 cm = 8 3/4"-9 1/2"-9
3/4"-10 5/8"-11 3/8"-12 1/4" from marker mid back.
On next round divide piece for sleeves and body as follows: Knit 1 (stitch with 1st marker
belongs to back piece), slip the next 55-59-65-77-77-81 stitches on a thread for sleeve without
working them, cast on 11-11-13-13-15-17 new stitches in the side under sleeve, work 89-97-
103-117-125-137 stitches in pattern A.1, slip the next 55-59-65-77-77-81 stitches on a thread
for sleeve without working them, cast on 11-11-13-13-15-17 new stitches in the side under
sleeve, work pattern A.1 over the last 88-96-102-116-124-136 stitches on round (back piece).
Now finish body and sleeves separately.

BODY:
= 200-216-232-260-280-308 stitches. Work pattern A.1 as before. Work until piece measures
approx. 22-22-23-23-23-23 cm = 8 3/4"-8 3/4"-9"-9"-9"-9" from division – or desired length (5
cm = 2" remain until finished measurements). Knit 1 round and increase 20-24-24-24-28-32
stitches evenly on round = 220-240-256-284-308-340 stitches. Switch to circular needle size 3
MM = US 2.5, work rib = knit 2/purl 2 for 5 cm = 2". Sweater measures approx. 54-56-58-60-
62-64 cm = 21 1/4"-22"-22 3/4"-23 5/8"-24 3/8"-25 1/4" from shoulder.
Bind off stitches with knit over knit and purl over purl.

SLEEVES:
Slip stitches from one thread on a short circular needle/double pointed needle size 4 MM = US 6.
Pick in addition up 1 stitch in each of the 11-11-13-13-15-17 stitches cast on in each side under
sleeve = 66-70-78-90-92-98 stitches. Insert a marker in the middle of the new stitches cast on
and move marker upwards when working. Work pattern A.1 as before. When piece measures 4
cm = 1 1/2", decrease 2 stitches on underside of sleeve - read DECREASE TIP in explanation
above. Repeat decrease approx. every 6-5-3½-2-2-1½ cm = 2 3/8"-2"-1 1/4"-3/4"-3/4"-1/2" 6-
7-10-14-15-16 times in total = 54-56-58-62-62-66 stitches. Work until piece measures approx.
39-38-37-36-34-33 cm = 15 1/4"-15"-14 1/2"-14 1/4"-13 3/8"-13". Knit 1 round and increase
6-4-6-6-6-6 stitches evenly = 60-60-64-68-72-72 stitches. Switch to double pointed needles
size 3 MM = US 2.5, and work rib = knit 2/purl 2 for 5 cm = 2". Bind off stitches with knit over
knit and purl over purl.
Work the other sleeve the same way.
