KNITTING TENSION
24 stitches in width and 32 rows in height with stocking stitch = 10 x 10 cm.
NOTE: Needle size is only a guide. If you get too many stitches on 10 cm, change to a larger needle size. If you get too few stitches on 10 cm, change to a smaller needle size.

EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN

INCREASE/DECREASE TIP (evenly spaced):
To work out how to increase/decrease evenly, count the total number of stitches on needle (e.g. 136 stitches), and divide by the number of increases/decreases to be made (e.g. 20) = 6.8. In this example, increase by making 1 yarn over after each 7th stitch. On the next round work the yarn overs twisted to avoid holes. When decreasing, alternately knit together each 6th and 7th stitch.

RAGLAN

Increase 1 stitch on each side of the marker threads in the transitions between body and sleeves as follows: Work until there is 1 stitch left before the marker thread, 1 yarn over, knit 2 (marker thread sits between these 2 stitches), 1 yarn over (= 2 stitches increased). On the next round knit the yarn overs twisted to avoid holes. Then work the new stitches in stocking stitch. A total of 8 stitches increased on each increase-round.

DECREASE TIP (for body and sleeves):
Decrease 1 stitch on either side of the marker as follows: Work until there are 3 stitches left before the marker, 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.

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.

JUMPER – SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE

The neck and yoke are worked in the round with circular needle, top down. The yoke is divided for the body and sleeves and the body is continued in the round with circular needle. The sleeves are worked with double pointed needles/short circular needle, top down.

DOUBLE NECK

Cast on 136-136-144-152-152-160 stitches with circular needle size 3 mm and DROPS Alpaca. Change to circular needle size 2.5 mm and work rib in the round (knit 1, purl 1) for 8 to 9 cm. Change to circular needle size 3 mm. Knit 1 round and decrease 20-16-20-20-16-16 stitches evenly spaced - read INCREASE/DECREASE TIP = 116-120-124-132-136-144 stitches. Insert 1 marker at the beginning of the round; the yoke is measured from this marker!

YOKE

Insert 4 marker threads, without working the stitches, as follows (start of round = mid-back):
Count 22-23-24-26-27-29 stitches (= half back piece), insert marker thread-1 here.
Count 14 stitches (= sleeve), insert marker thread-2 here.
Count 44-46-48-52-54-58 stitches (= front piece), insert marker thread-3 here.
Count 14 stitches (= sleeve), insert marker thread-4 here. There are 22-23-24-26-27-29 stitches left (= half back piece).
REMEMBER THE KNITTING TENSION!
Continue with stocking stitch, AT THE SAME TIME, on the first round, start to increase to RAGLAN – read description above. Increase like this every other round a total of 28-33-36-39-43-48 times = 340-384-412-444-480-528 stitches.
Continue with stocking stitch until the yoke measures 23-25-26-28-30-32 cm from the marker on the neck.
Now divide for the body and sleeves on the next round as follows:
Work the first 52-57-61-67-73-82 stitches (= half back piece), place the next 66-78-84-88-94-100 stitches on a thread for the sleeve, cast on 10-10-12-12-12 stitches (= in side under sleeve), work 104-114-122-134-146-164 stitches (= front piece), place the next 66-78-84-88-94-100 stitches on a thread for the sleeve, cast on 10-10-12-12-12 stitches (= in side under sleeve), work the last 52-57-61-67-73-82 stitches (= half back piece). You have now worked 2-1-1-2-3-5 stitches on each side of both sleeves into the front/back pieces.
The body and sleeves are finished separately. Remove the marker threads.
THE PIECE IS NOW MEASURED FROM HERE!

BODY

= 228-248-268-292-316-352 stitches. Insert a marker in the middle of the new stitches under each sleeve. Continue with stocking stitch in the round for 2 cm. Decrease 1 stitch on each side of both markers - read DECREASE TIP. Decrease like this every 8-4-5-5-8-5 cm a total of 3-6-5-5-3-5 times = 216-224-248-272-304-332 stitches. Continue working until the piece measures 32-32-33-33-33-33 cm from the division (approx. 4 cm left to finished length; try the jumper on and work to desired length). Change to circular needle size 2.5 mm and knit 1 round where you increase 18-18-20-22-26-28 stitches evenly spaced - remember INCREASE/DECREASE TIP = 234-242-268-294-330-360 stitches. Work rib (knit 1, purl 1) for 4 cm. Cast off with knit over knit and purl over purl - read CASTING-OFF TIP! The jumper measures approx. 62-64-66-68-70-72 cm from the shoulder down.

SLEEVES

Place the 66-78-84-88-94-100 stitches from the thread on the one side of the piece on double pointed needles/short circular needle size 3 mm and knit up 1 stitch in each of the 10-10-12-12-12-12 stitches cast on under the sleeve = 76-88-96-100-106-112 stitches. Insert a marker thread in the middle of the new stitches under the sleeve.
Work stocking stitch in the round for 2-2-3-2-4-2 cm. Now decrease 1 stitch on each side of the marker – read DECREASE TIP. Decrease like this every 4½-3-2-21½-1½ cm a total of 9-13-17-18-20-21 times = 58-62-62-64-66-70 stitches.
Work until the sleeve measures 42-41-40-38-37-35 cm from the division (approx. 4 cm left to finished length; try the jumper on and work to desired length).
Change to double pointed needles size 2.5 mm and knit 1 round where you increase 4 stitches evenly spaced = 62-66-66-68-70-74 stitches. Work rib (knit 1, purl 1) for 4 cm. Cast off with knit over knit and purl over purl - remember CASTING-OFF TIP! Work the other sleeve in the same way.
