EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN
DECREASE TIP (for neckline):
All decreases are worked from the right side!
DECREASE AT BEGINNING OF ROW
Knit 3, slip 1 stitch knit-wise, knit 1 and pass the slipped stitch over the knitted stitch (= 1 stitch decreased).
DECREASE AT END OF ROW
Work until there are 5 stitches left, knit 2 together (= 1 stitch decreased), knit 3.
VEST – SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE
The piece is worked in the round with circular needle, bottom up, as far as the armholes. The piece is divided and the front and back pieces are finished separately, back and forth. The neck and sleeve edges are worked in the round to finish.
BODY
Cast on 208-220-236-260-280-312 stitches with circular needle size 4 mm and DROPS Soft-Tweed. Work rib in the round (knit 2, purl 2) for 6 cm. Knit 1 round and decrease 22-22-24-24-26-30 stitches evenly spaced = 186-198-212-236-254-282 stitches. Insert 1 marker-thread at the beginning of the round and 1 marker-thread after 93-99-106-118-127-141 stitches; allow the threads to follow your work onwards – they are used when working the armholes. Change to circular needle size 5 mm. Work stocking stitch in the round. REMEMBER THE KNITTING TENSION!
When the piece measures 31-32-33-34-35-36 cm, cast off for the armholes as follows: Start 5-6-6-7-9-11 stitches before the first marker-thread, cast off 9-11-12-14-17-21 stitches, work until there are 5-6-6-7-9-11 stitches left before the second marker-thread and place these 84-88-94-104-110-120 stitches on a stitch holder (front piece), cast off 9-11-12-14-17-21 stitches. The front and back pieces are finished separately.
BACK PIECE
= 84-88-94-104-110-120 stitches. Continue with stocking stitch back and forth and at the same time cast off 1 stitch at the beginning of every row 6-6-7-10-11-14 times on each side = 72-76-80-84-88-92 stitches. When the piece measures 56-58-60-62-64-66 cm cast off the middle 28-28-32-32-34-34 stitches for the neckline and finish each shoulder separately.
OVERVIEW OF THE NEXT SECTION
Cast off for the neckline and work the diagonal shoulder. Read NECKLINE and DIAGONAL SHOULDER before continuing.
NECKLINE
Cast off 1 stitch at the beginning of the next row from the neck.
DIAGONAL SHOULDER
When the piece measures 57-59-61-63-65-67 cm place the outermost stitches on a thread for the shoulder, working them first to avoid cutting the strand. Place 7-8-8-8-9-9 stitches on the thread 2 times, then place the last 7-7-7-9-8-10 stitches on the thread. All stitches are now either cast off or on the thread.
Place the 21-23-23-25-26-28 stitches from the thread back on circular needle size 5 mm. Work 1 row of stocking stitch (to avoid holes in the transitions between the stitches on the thread, pick up the strand between 2 stitches and work it twisted together with the next stitch on the left needle). Cast off on the next row. The piece measures approx. 60-62-64-66-68-70 cm from the cast-on edge to the top of the shoulder.
Work the other shoulder in the same way.
FRONT PIECE
Place the 84-88-94-104-110-120 stitches from the stitch holder back on circular needle 5 mm. Continue with stocking stitch back and forth at the same time as, on the first row from the right side, you cast off as follows for the armholes: 1 stitch 6-6-7-10-11-14 times on both sides = 72-76-80-84-88-92 stitches. When the piece measures 52-54-55-57-58-60 cm place the middle 18-18-22-22-22-22 stitches on a thread for the neckline and finish each shoulder separately.
OVERVIEW OF THE NEXT SECTION
Cast off for the neckline and work the diagonal shoulder. Read NECKLINE and DIAGONAL SHOULDER before continuing.
NECKLINE
On the next row from the right side decrease for the neckline – read DECREASE TIP. Decrease like this on each row from the right side 6-6-6-6-7-7 times.
DIAGONAL SHOULDER
When the piece measures 57-59-61-63-65-67 cm place the outermost stitches on a thread for the shoulder in the same way as on the back piece. When all stitches are either cast off or on the thread, place the 21-23-23-25-26-28 stitches from the thread back on 5 mm circular needle. Work 1 row of stocking stitch in the same way as on the back piece, then cast off. The piece measures approx. 60-62-64-66-68-70 cm from the cast-on edge to the top of the shoulder.
Work the other shoulder in the same way.
ASSEMBLY
Sew the shoulder seams.
NECK
Start on one shoulder with circular needle size 4 mm and knit up 84 to 100 stitches (including the stitches from the thread – stitch count should be divisible by 4). Work rib in the round (knit 2, purl 2) for 5 cm. Cast off with knit over knit and purl over purl. Fold the neck double to the inside and sew down. To avoid the neck being tight and rolling outwards, it is important that the seam is elastic.
SLEEVE EDGES
Start at the bottom of the armhole with short circular needle size 4 mm and knit up 108-112-116-120-128-132 stitches around the armhole (stitch count should be divisible by 4). Work rib in the round (knit 2, purl 2) for 5 cm. Cast off with knit over knit and purl over purl. Fold the rib double to the inside and sew down. Work the other sleeve edge in the same way.
