EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN

RIDGE/GARTER STITCH (worked in the round):
1 ridge in height = 2 rounds; Knit 1 round and purl 1 round.

RIDGE/GARTER STITCH (worked back and forth):
Knit all rows.
1 ridge in height = Knit 2 rows.

PATTERN

See diagram A.1. The diagram shows all rows in the pattern seen from the right side.

SHORT ROWS-1 (for right neck-edge):
Start from the right side and work as follows: * 1 ridge back and forth over the first 3 stitches, 1 ridge back and forth over all 4 stitches , work from -* a total of 3 times.

SHORT ROWS-2 (for left neck-edge):
Start from the wrong side and work as follows: * 1 ridge back and forth over the first 3 stitches, 1 ridge back and forth over all 4 stitches , work from -* a total of 3 times, then knit 1 row from the wrong side over all 4 stitches.

RAGLAN

All increases are worked from the right side!
Increase to raglan on each side of the marker thread as follows: Work until there is 1 stitch left before marker thread, 1 yarn over, knit 1 (marker thread sits here), knit 1, 1 yarn over (= 2 stitches increased). Increase like this at all the other marker threads (8 stitches increased on the round). On the next row/round work the yarn overs twisted to avoid holes. Then work the new stitches in stocking stitch.

V-NECK

All increases are worked from the right side!
Increase 1 stitch inside the 4 stitches in garter stitch on each side of the piece by making 1 yarn over. On the next row purl the yarn overs twisted to avoid holes. Then work the new stitches in stocking stitch.

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.

JUMPER – SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE

You first work 2 loose neck-edges. These are then placed on the circular needle and stitches are cast on for the neck as described in the text (the neck-edges are sewn together mid back and sewn onto the neck later).
Then the yoke is worked back and forth from mid front and top down. AT THE SAME TIME, you increase stitches for v-neck and raglan. When the increases to v-neck are finished the piece is continued in the round. The sleeves are worked in the round with double pointed needles/short circular needle, top down.

NECK-EDGES

Cast on 4 stitches with needle size 3.5 mm and Lace + Kid-Silk (= 2 strands) or 1 strand Sky and work GARTER STITCH back and forth – read description above (row 1 = right side).
When the neck edge measures 6-6-6½-6½-7-7½ cm, work SHORT ROWS-1 – read description above. When the short rows are finished, work garter stitch back and forth over all 4 stitches for 6 cm in all sizes; finish with a row from the wrong side (right neck-edge now measures 14-14-14½-14½-15-15½ cm in length on the inside where it is shortest). Cut the strand and lay the piece to one side.
Work left neck-edge in the same way, but when it measures 6-6-6½-6½-7-7½ cm, work SHORT ROWS-2 – read description above. When the short rows are finished, work garter stitch back and forth over all 4 stitches for 6 cm in all sizes; finish with a row from the right side (left neck-edge now measures 14-14-14½-14½-15-15½ cm in length on the inside where it is shortest). Place the stitches on circular needle size 4 mm (do not cut the strand) and cast on 66-66-68-68-70-72 stitches with the same circular needle (straight after the left neck edge) then knit the 4 stitches from the right neck edge = 74-74-76-76-78-80 stitches on the needle. Work the next row from the wrong side as follows: 4 stitches in garter stitch, work 2 stitches in the next stitch (= 1 stitch increased), purl until there are 5 stitches left on row, work 2 stitches in the next stitch (= 1 stitch increased) and work 4 stitches in garter stitch = 76-76-78-78-80-82 stitches. Insert a marker in the middle of the 4 neck-edge stitches on one side. THE PIECE IS NOW MEASURED FROM HERE! Now work the yoke as described below.

YOKE

Insert 1 marker thread in each transition between body and sleeves (= 4 marker threads) as follows: Insert 1 marker thread 5 stitches in from each side, i.e., after 4 stitches in garter stitch + 1 knitted stitch (= transition between front pieces and sleeves), insert the next 2 marker threads after 16 new stitches on each side (= transition between sleeves and back piece). There are 34-34-36-36-38-40 stitches between the last 2 marker threads (= back piece).
Work stocking stitch with 4 stitches in garter stitch on each side towards the v-neck mid front. AT THE SAME TIME increase to raglan and v-neck as follows:
REMEMBER THE KNITTING TENSION!

RAGLAN

On the first row from the right side start to increase to RAGLAN – read description above. Increase to raglan every 2nd row a total of 24-28-31-34-36-38 times.

V-NECK

On row 3 start to increase to V-NECK – read description above. Increase like this every 4th row 4-5-6-7-8-8 times, then every 2nd row 10-9-9-8-8-9 times (= a total of 14-14-15-15-16-17 stitches increased for the v-neck on each side).
When all increases to v-neck are finished, cut the yarn. Insert a marker on mid back. This is now the beginning of the round. Continue working in the round from right side; over the 8 stitches in garter stitch work pattern A.1. When A.1 has been completed in height 4 stitches have been decreased in the diagram. When all the increases to raglan (+ the 4 decreases in A.1) are finished there are 292-324-352-376-396-416 stitches on the round. Now continue with stocking stitch until the piece measures 19-21-23-25-28-30 cm from the marker. Finish the round mid back. The next round is worked as follows:
NOTE: The piece is divided for body and sleeves and 1-1-1-2-4-6 stitches from each side of each sleeve are worked into the body; the transitions between body and sleeves are no longer at the marker threads: Work the first 42-46-50-54-59-64 stitches (= half back piece), place the next 62-70-76-80-80-80 stitches on a thread for sleeve and cast on 8-8-10-10-12-16 new stitches on the needle (= in side under sleeve), work the next 84-92-100-108-118-128 stitches (= front piece), place the next 62-70-76-80-80-80 stitches on a thread for sleeve and cast on 8-8-10-10-12-16 new stitches on the needle (= in side under sleeve), work the remaining 42-46-50-54-59-64 stitches (= half back piece). Body and sleeves are finished separately. THE PIECE IS NOW MEASURED FROM HERE!

BODY

= 184-200-220-236-260-288 stitches. Work stocking stitch in the round with circular needle size 4 mm. When the piece measures 30-30-30-30-29-29 cm change to circular needle size 3.5 mm. Work 2 ridges. Cast off. The jumper measures approx. 54-56-58-60-62-64 cm from the shoulder down.

SLEEVE

Place the 62-70-76-80-80-80 stitches from the thread on the one side of the piece on short circular needle/double pointed needles size 4 mm and knit up 1 stitch in each of the 8-8-10-10-12-16 stitches cast on under the sleeve = 70-78-86-90-92-96 stitches. Insert a marker thread in the middle of the new stitches (= 4-4-5-5-6-8 new stitches on each side). Work stocking stitch in the round. When the sleeve measures 4 cm decrease 2 stitches under the sleeve – read DECREASE TIP. Decrease like this every 3½-2½-2-2-1½-1½ cm a total of 10-13-16-17-17-18 times = 50-52-54-56-58-60 stitches. When the sleeve measures 44-43-42-41-38-37 cm change to double pointed needles size 3.5 mm and work 2 ridges. Cast off. The sleeve measures approx. 45-44-43-42-39-38 cm. Work the other sleeve in the same way.
