EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN
RIDGE/GARTER STITCH (worked back and forth):
Knit all rows.
1 ridge in height = Knit 2 rows.
INCREASE TIP
Increase 1 stitch by making 1 yarn over.
On the next row, work the yarn over twisted to avoid a hole.
DECREASE TIP (for sides of body):
Decrease 1 stitch on each side of the stitch with the marker thread as follows: Work until there are 3 stitches left before the stitch with the marker thread, knit 2 together, knit 1, slip 1 stitch as if to knit, knit 1 and pass the slipped stitch over the knitted stitch (= 2 stitches decreased).
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.
VEST – SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE
The vest is worked top down. Each shoulder is first worked separately, back and forth, at the same time stitches are increased/cast on for the neck. The front and back pieces are worked separately, back and forth, until the increases for the armholes are finished. Then the pieces are joined and the body worked in the round. Stiches are picked up for the neck and sleeve edges and worked in rib in the round.
BACK PIECE
Each shoulder is worked separately.
Right shoulder:
Cast on 18-19-19-20-20-21 stitches (including 1 edge stitch on each side) using circular needle size 4 mm and Karisma. Work 1 edge stitch in GARTER STITCH – read description above, work stocking stitch until there is 1 stitch left on the row and then 1 edge stitch in garter stitch. Continue like this back and forth.
When the piece measures 4 cm increase 1 stitch inside 1 edge stitch on the beginning of next row from the right side – read INCREASE TIP in description above = 19-20-20-21-21-22 stitches. Lay the piece to one side and work the left shoulder.
Left shoulder:
Cast on 18-19-19-20-20-21 stitches (including 1 edge stitch on each side) using circular needle size 4 mm and Karisma. Work 1 edge stitch in GARTER STITCH – read description above, work stocking stitch until there is 1 stitch left on the row and then 1 edge stitch in garter stitch. Continue like this back and forth.
When the piece measures 4 cm, increase 1 stitch inside 1 edge stitch at the end of the next row from the right side = 19-20-20-21-21-22 stitches. Work 1 row back from the wrong side.
REMEMBER THE KNITTING TENSION!
Now join the 2 shoulders together as follows:
Knit the 19-20-20-21-21-22 stitches on the left shoulder, cast on 40-40-42-42-44-44 stitches at the end of the row (= neck), knit the 19-20-20-21-21-22 stitches from the right shoulder onto the same needle = 78-80-82-84-86-88 stitches. Continue back and forth with stocking stitch and 1 edge stitch in garter stitch on each side.
When the piece measures 18-18-18-17-17-16 cm, increase/cast on stitches for the armhole on each side as follows: Increase 1 stitch inside 1 edge stitch on each row from the right side 2-1-1-3-4-4 times, then cast on new stitches for the armholes at the end of each row as follows: Cast on 2 stitches 0-2-2-3-3-4 times and 3 stitches 0-0-1-1-2-3 times (= a total of 2-5-8-12-16-21 stitches increased for each armhole) = 82-90-98-108-118-130 stitches. Lay the piece to one side and work the front piece.
FRONT PIECE
Each shoulder is worked separately.
Left shoulder:
Cast on 18-19-19-20-20-21 stitches (including 1 edge stitch on each side) using circular needle size 4 mm and Karisma. Work 1 edge stitch in garter stitch, work stocking stitch until there is 1 stitch left on the row and then 1 edge stitch in garter stitch. Continue like this back and forth.
When the piece measures 5-5-6-6-7-7 cm, increase/cast on stitches for the neck as follows:
Increase 1 stitch inside 1 edge stitch on the beginning of the next row from the right side = 19-20-20-21-21-22 stitches. Then cast on stitches at the end of each row from the wrong side as follows: Cast on 2 stitches 3 times and 3 stitches 1 time = 28-29-29-30-30-31 stitches. Lay the piece to one side and work the right shoulder.
Right shoulder:
Cast on 18-19-19-20-20-21 stitches (including 1 edge stitch on each side) using circular needle size 4 mm and Karisma. Work 1 edge stitch in garter stitch, work stocking stitch until there is 1 stitch left on the row and then 1 edge stitch in garter stitch. Continue like this back and forth.
When the piece measures 5-5-6-6-7-7 cm, increase/cast on stitches for the neck as follows:
Increase 1 stitch inside 1 edge stitch at the end of the next row from the right side = 19-20-20-21-21-22 stitches. Then cast on stitches at the end of each row from the right side as follows: Cast on 2 stitches 3 times and 3 stitches 1 time = 28-29-29-30-30-31 stitches.
Now join the right and left shoulders together from the right side as follows: Knit the 28-29-29-30-30-31 stitches on the right shoulder, cast on 22-22-24-24-26-26 stitches for the neck, knit the 28-29-29-30-30-31 stitches from the left shoulder = 78-80-82-84-86-88 stitches.
Continue back and forth with stocking stitch and 1 edge stitch in garter stitch on each side.
When the piece measures 18-18-18-17-17-16 cm, increase/cast on stitches for the armholes as follows. Increase 1 stitch inside 1 edge stitch on each row from the right side 2-1-1-3-4-4 times, then cast on new stitches for the armholes at the end of each row as follows: Cast on 2 stitches 0-2-2-3-3-4 times and 3 stitches 0-0-1-1-2-3 times (= a total of 2-5-8-12-16-21 stitches increased for each armhole) = 82-90-98-108-118-130 stitches. THE PIECE IS NOW MEASURED FROM HERE!
BODY
Now join the front and back pieces together from the right side as follows:
Work stocking stitch over the 82-90-98-108-118-130 stitches from the front piece, cast on 11-11-13-13-15-15 new stitches on the needle (= in side under sleeve), stocking stitch over the next 82-90-98-108-118-130 stitches on the back piece and cast on 11-11-13-13-15-15 new stitches on the needle (= in side under sleeve) = 186-202-222-242-266-290 stitches.
Insert 1 marker in the middle stitch of the 11-11-13-13-15-15 new stitches in each side. Allow the markers to follow your work onwards; stitches will later be decreased on each side of both markers.
Work stocking stitch in the round. When the piece measures 5 cm, decrease on both sides of each marker – read DECREASE TIP (= 4 stitches decreased). Decrease like this every 9-9-10-10-10-11 cm a total of 4 times = 170-186-206-226-250-274 stitches. When the piece measures 34-35-36-37-38-39 cm increase 26-26-30-34-38-42 stitches evenly spaced = 196-212-236-260-288-316 stitches. Change to circular needle size 3 mm and work rib (= knit 2 / purl 2) in the round for 4 cm. Cast off with knit over knit and purl over purl – read CASTING-OFF TIP. The vest measures approx. 57-59-61-63-65-67 cm from the shoulder down.
ASSEMBLY
Sew the shoulder seams with grafting stitches.
ARMHOLE EDGE
Knit up approx. 88-132 stitches inside the 1 stitch with short circular needle size 3 mm and Karisma. Adjust so the number of stitches is divisible by 4. Work rib (= knit 2 / purl 2) in the round for 2 cm. Cast off with knit over knit and purl over purl – remember CASTING-OFF TIP! Work the other sleeve edge in the same way.
NECK
Knit up 104-120 stitches inside the 1 stitch with short circular needle size 3 mm and Karisma. Adjust so the number of stitches is divisible by 4. Work rib (= knit 2 / purl 2) in the round for 2 cm. Cast off with knit over knit and purl over purl.
