JACKET – SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE

The piece is worked bottom up, back and forth on circular needle as far as the armholes, then divided and the front and back pieces finished separately back and forth on circular needle. The sleeves are worked in the round on double pointed needles/short circular needle from bottom up as far as the sleeve cap, which is finished back and forth. Stitches are knitted up along the front pieces and the bands worked to finish.

Allow the markers to follow your work onwards; they are used when casting off for the armholes. Continue with stocking stitch and 1 edge stitch in garter stitch on each side. REMEMBER THE KNITTING TENSION!

OVERVIEW OF THE NEXT SECTION

When the piece measures 38-38-38-39-40-41 cm, start to decrease for the V-neck. AT THE SAME TIME as you work these decreases, you cast off/decrease for the armholes and finish each shoulder separately. Read V-NECK and ARMHOLES before continuing.

V-NECK

When the piece measures 38-38-38-39-40-41 cm, on the next row from the right side, decrease for the V-neck on each side– read DECREASE TIP. Decrease 2 stitches on each side every 4th row 4 times in all sizes.
Then decrease 1 stitch on each side every 4th row 3-3-4-4-5-5 times.

ARMHOLES

AT THE SAME TIME, when the piece measures 43-44-45-46-47-48 cm and the next row is from the right side, cast off for the armholes: Work as before until there are 2-3-4-4-4-5 stitches left before the first marker, cast off 4-6-8-8-8-10 stitches, work until there are 2-3-4-4-4-5 stitches left before the second marker, cast off 4-6-8-8-8-10 stitches and work to the end of the row.

Change to double pointed needles size 5 mm and work stocking stitch in the round.

ASSEMBLY

Sew the shoulder seams inside the cast-off edge. Sew in the sleeves inside the 1 edge stitch along the armholes.

RIGHT BAND

The band is worked bottom up. Using a strand end of 1½ to 2 metres, knit up stitches along the front piece (this allows you to continue working without cutting the strand) as follows:
Start at the bottom and pick up 1 stitch in each row, inside the 1 edge stitch, using circular needle size 4.5 mm and 1 strand of each quality.
Continue working from the end with the ball = bottom of the front piece.
Cast on 16 stitches as an extension of the picked up stitch at the bottom of the front piece (cast on from the wrong side). Work the band over these 16 stitches at the same time as it is worked together with the knitted-up stitches along the front piece:
ROW 1 (right side): Slip the first stitch onto the right needle as if to purl with the strand in front, * knit 1, slip 1 stitch onto the right needle as if to purl with the strand in front , work from - until there is 1 band stitch left, slip 1 stitch onto the right needle as if to knit with the strand behind, knit 1 and pass the slipped stitch over the knitted stitch, turn.
ROW 2 (wrong side): * Slip the first/next stitch onto the right needle as if to purl with the strand in front, knit 1 , work from - over all 16 band stitches, turn.
Repeat rows 1 and 2. NB! If the band becomes too long for the front piece, the band stitches can be worked together with 1 extra stitch from the front piece. Then work every 10th row as follows from the right side: Work until 1 stitch remains of the 16 band stitches, slip the last stitch onto the right needle as if to knit, with the yarn behind the work, knit the next 2 stitches together, pass the slipped stitch over the stitches knitted together, turn.
Work the BUTTONHOLES – read description above.

On the last row from the right side knit all stitches together 2 and 2, then cast off.

LEFT BAND

Cast on 16 stitches as an extension of the picked up stitch at the bottom of the front piece. Work the band over these 16 stitches at the same time as the band is worked together with the knitted-up stitches along the front piece:
ROW 1(wrong side): Knit 1, slip the first stitch onto the right needle as if to purl with the strand in front, knit 1 , work from - until there is 1 band stitch left, slip the next 2 stitches onto the right needle as if to purl them together with the strand in front, turn.

If the band becomes too long for the front piece, the band stitches can be worked together with 1 extra stitch from the front piece on every 9th and 10th row as follows: slip 3 stitches onto the right needle at the end of the row from the wrong side and knit 3 together from the right side.
When all the stitches from the front piece are knitted together with the band, work the back of the neck.
