EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN
GARTER STITCH (worked back and forth):
Knit all rows, from both the right and wrong side.
1 ridge in height = knit 2 rows.
PATTERN
See diagrams A.1 to A.3.
The diagrams show all rows in the pattern from the right side.
INCREASE TIP-1:
INCREASE ONE STITCH TOWARDS THE LEFT from RIGHT SIDE:
Use the left needle to pick up the front strand between 2 stitches from the previous row and knit through the stitch loop that is on the back of the needle.
INCREASE ONE STITCH TOWARDS THE RIGHT from RIGHT SIDE:
Use the left needle to pick up the back strand between 2 stitches from the previous row and knit through the stitch loop that is on the front of the needle.
INCREASE TIP-2:
INCREASE ONE STITCH TOWARDS THE LEFT, from WRONG SIDE:
Use the left needle to pick up the back strand between 2 stitches from the previous row and purl through the stitch loop that is on the front of the needle.
INCREASE ONE STITCH TOWARDS THE RIGHT, from WRONG SIDE:
Use the left needle to pick up the front strand between 2 stitches from the previous row and purl through the stitch loop that is on the back of the needle.
DECREASE TIP
Decrease 1 stitch on each side of the marker-thread as follows:
Work until there are 3 stitches left before A.1/A.2, knit 2 together, knit 1, work A.1/A.2 (marker-thread sits in the middle of A.1/A.2), knit 1, slip 1 stitch knit-wise, knit 1 and pass the slipped stitch over the knitted stitch (2 decreased stitches).
SLEEVE TIP
When knitting up stitches under the sleeve, you can get a small hole in the transition between stitches on the body and sleeve. This hole can be closed by picking up the strand between 2 stitches and working this strand twisted together with the first stitch between body and sleeve.
BUTTONHOLES
Work the buttonholes on the right band from the right side as follows:
ROW 1 (right side): Knit 2 together, make 1 yarn over,
ROW 2 (wrong side): Work the band as before, knit the yarn over to leave a hole.
Work 5 buttonholes evenly when the band measures 1½ cm, with the first buttonhole 7-7-7-7½-7½-7½-8 cm from the neck and the bottom buttonhole 5-4-5-5½-6½-5½-6 cm from the bottom edge. The other 3 buttonholes with 7½-8-8-8-8-8½-8½ cm between each one. The 6th buttonhole is worked on the neck.
START THE PIECE HERE
JACKET – SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE.
The pattern uses both long and short needles; start with the length which fits the number of stitches and change when necessary.
If there is a «0» in your chosen size, skip the information and go straight to the next instruction.
Work according to points 1 – 5.
- BACK PIECE:
Cast on stitches for the back of the neck. Work the back piece back and forth, increasing stitches on each side until the shoulder stitch count has been achieved. The back piece has slightly diagonal shoulder. - FRONT PIECES:
Start by knitting up stitches along one back shoulder, working downwards and increasing for the neckline. Repeat on the other shoulder.
3.YOKE:
Join the front and back pieces, working first 1 front piece, knitting up stitches for the sleeve along the side of the front piece, working the back piece, knitting up stitches for the sleeve along the side of the second front piece, then working this front piece. The yoke is continued back and forth from mid-front. - INCREASE FOR NECK, BODY AND SLEEVES: While working the yoke, you increase stitches first for the neck and sleeves, then for the sleeves and body.
- BODY AND SLEEVES: When all the increases are finished and the yoke is the correct length, it is divided for the body and sleeves. The body is continued back and forth while the sleeves wait, with cables on the sides of the body and mid-under the sleeves, stocking stitch across the other stitches. Stitches are knitted up for the bands along each front piece and worked back and forth.
The sleeves are worked in the round, top down. Stitches are knitted up along the neckline and the neck is worked back and forth to finish.
BACK PIECE
The piece is worked back and forth. Cast on 34-34-34-36-36-38-38 stitches with circular needle size 3.5 mm, 1 strand DROPS Baby Merino and 1 strand DROPS Kid-Silk (2 strands).

The sleeves measure approx. 16-17-17-18-19-19-19 cm. When the jacket is folded double at the shoulder it measures approx. 21-22-23-24-26-26-27 cm from outermost on the shoulder and down the armhole. If the piece is shorter than this, continue working without further increases to the correct length.
Now divide for the body and sleeves – adjust so that the division row is worked from the wrong side.
DIVIDE FOR BODY AND SLEEVES
Work 44-47-51-54-59-64-69 stitches as before (= front piece), place the next 58-64-68-74-78-80-82 stitches on a stitch holder for the sleeve, cast on 6-8-8-10-10-12-14 stitches (mid-under the sleeve), work the next 86-92-100-106-116-126-136 stitches (= back piece), place the next 58-64-68-74-78-80-82 stitches on a stitch holder for the sleeve, cast on 6-8-8-10-10-12-14 stitches (mid-under the sleeve), work the last 44-47-51-54-59-64-69 stitches as before (= front piece).
The body and sleeves are finished separately.
BODY
= 186-202-218-234-254-278-302 stitches. Insert 1 marker-thread in the middle of the 6-8-8-10-10-12-14 cast-on stitches under each sleeve. Allow the threads to follow your work onwards, they are used when working cables on each side of the body.
Work as follows from the right side: 1 garter stitch, knit until there are 2 stitches left before the first marker-thread, work A.1 (marker-thread sits in the middle of A.1), knit until there are 2 stitches left before the next marker-thread, work A.2 (marker-thread sits in the middle of A.2), knit until there is stitch left, work 1 garter stitch. Continue this pattern back and forth until the body measures 22-23-23-24-23-25-26 cm from the division.
On the next row from the right side, begin the rib. AT THE SAME TIME increase 21-21-23-25-27-27-29 stitches evenly on the row (increase 5-5-5-5-6-6-6 stitches evenly on each front piece, 9-9-11-13-13-13-15 stitches evenly on the back piece and 1 across each A.1/A.2), working as follows:
Change to circular needle size 2.5 mm, work 1 garter stitch, rib (knit 1, purl 1 – remember to increase) until there are 3 stitches left before the first marker-thread, knit 1, work A.3 above A.1 (1 increased stitch), work rib (knit 1, purl 1) until there are 3 stitches left before the next marker-thread, knit 1, work A.3 above A.2 (1 increased stitch), rib (knit 1, purl 1) until there are 2 stitches left, knit 1 and 1 garter stitch = 207-223-241-259-281-305-331 stitches.
When the rib measures 5-5-5-5-6-6-6 cm, work Italian cast-off or cast off with rib.
The jacket measures approx. 52-54-56-58-60-62-64 cm from the shoulder.
SLEEVES
Place the 58-64-68-74-78-80-82 sleeve-stitches from one thread on circular needle size 3.5 mm and knit up 1 stitch in each of the 6-8-8-10-10-12-14 stitches cast on under the sleeve – read SLEEVE TIP = 64-72-76-84-88-92-96 stitches. Insert a marker-thread in the middle of the 6-8-8-10-10-12-14 stitches under the sleeve- the round starts by the marker-thread.
Work A.1/A.2 and stocking stitch in the round (continuing the pattern from the yoke, and each marker-thread in the middle of A.1/A.2).
AT THE SAME TIME, when the sleeve measures 1 cm from the division, decrease mid-under the sleeve – read DECREASE TIP as follows: Decrease 2 stitches 1-2-2-2-2-2-2 times every 2nd round, then decrease 2 stitches 0-0-0-2-2-2-2 times every 2 cm = 62-68-72-76-80-84-88 stitches.
Continue working until the sleeve measures 8-8-8-7-5-6-6 cm from the division. Change to double pointed needles size 2.5 mm. Work A.3 above A.1/A.2, rib (knit 1, purl 1) until there is 1 stitch left before A.3, knit 1. When the rib measures 3-3-3-3-4-4-4 cm, work Italian cast-off or cast off slightly loosely with rib. The sleeve measures approx. 11-11-11-10-9-10-10 cm from the division.
LEFT BAND
Use circular needle size 2.5 mm and 1 strand of each quality (2 strands). From the right side, knit up 113-115-119-121-125-127-129 stitches, inside 1 garter stitch along the left front piece (i.e., 1 stitch in each row worked, with the stitch count divisible by 2 + 1).
Work the first row from the wrong side as follows: 1 garter stitch, rib (purl 1, knit 1) until there are 2 stitches left, purl 1 and 1 garter stitch.
Work back and forth until the band measures 2½ to 3 cm. Work Italian cast-off or cast off with rib.
RIGHT BAND
Knit up stitches along the right front piece in the same way as for the left band but when the band measures 1 to 1½ cm, work 5 BUTTONHOLES evenly spaced – read explanation above. After the buttonholes, finish the band and cast off in the same way as for the left band.
NECK
Use circular needle size 3.5 mm and 1 strand of each quality (2 strands). Start from the right side mid-front and knit up 121-123-125-133-135-143-145 stitches along the neckline (make sure you knit up 1 stitch in each row of the bands).
Purl 1 row from the wrong side and adjust the stitch count if necessary, it should be divisible by 2 + 1).
Work the next row from the right side as follows: 1 garter stitch, rib (knit 1 purl 1) until there are 2 stitches left on the row, knit 1 and 1 garter stitch.
Work the rib back and forth for 1-1½ cm then work 1 buttonhole above the other buttonholes on the right band. Continue the rib until the neck measures 3-3-3-3½-3½-4-4 cm. Work Italian cast-off or cast off with rib.
