EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN
INCREASE/DECREASE TIP (evenly spaced):
To work out how to increase/decrease evenly, count the total number of stitches on needle (e.g. 78 stitches), and divide by the number of increases/decreases to be made (e.g. 22) = 3.5.
In this example, increase by making 1 yarn over after alternately each 3rd and 4th stitch. On the next round work the yarn overs twisted to avoid holes. When decreasing, knit together alternately each 2nd and 3rd stitch and each 3rd and 4th stitch.
BEFORE MARKER
The new stitch twists to the right.
Use the left needle to pick up the strand between 2 stitches from the previous round; pick up the back strand and knit in the front loop.
AFTER MARKER
The new stitch twists to the left.
Use the left needle to pick up the strand between 2 stitches from the previous round; pick up the front strand and knit in the back loop.
DECREASE TIP (for sleeves):
Decrease 1 stitch on either 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.
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.
JUMPER – SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE
The neck and yoke are worked in the round with circular needle, top down from mid back. The yoke is divided for body and sleeves and the body continued in the round with circular needle. The sleeves are worked in the round with short circular needle/double pointed needles, top down.
NECK
Cast on 78-82-88-92-98-102 stitches with circular needle size 4 mm and Alaska. Knit 1 round, then work rib (knit 1, purl 1) in the round for 14½ cm. Knit 1 round where you increase 22-22-32-32-34-38 stitches evenly spaced – read INCREASE/DECREASE TIP = 100-104-120-124-132-140 stitches. Change to circular needle size 5 mm.
YOKE
Insert a marker at the beginning of the round (= mid-back) – THE PIECE IS MEASURED FROM HERE!
In addition, insert 4 new markers as described below – without working the stitches and inserting the markers between 2 stitches.
Marker 1: Start mid-back, count 17-18-20-21-21-23 stitches (= ½ back piece), insert marker before the next stitch.
Marker 2: Count 16-16-20-20-24-24 stitches from marker 1 (= shoulder), insert marker before the next stitch.
Marker 3: Count 34-36-40-42-42-46 stitches from marker 2 (= front piece), insert marker before the next stitch.
Marker 4: Count 16-16-20-20-24-24 stitches from marker 3 (= shoulder), insert marker before the next stitch.
There are 17-18-20-21-21-23 stitches left on the back piece after marker 4. Allow the markers to follow your work onwards; they are used when increasing for the shoulders.
INCREASES FOR SADDLE SHOULDERS
Work stocking stitch in the round.
AT THE SAME TIME, on the first round, increase 4 stitches for the shoulders as follows:
Increase BEFORE markers 1 and 3 and increase AFTER markers 2 and 4 – read INCREASE TIP. Here you are only increasing on the front and back pieces and the number of shoulder stitches remains the same.
Increase like this every round a total of 14-16-16-18-20-22 times = 156-168-184-196-212-228 stitches. REMEMBER THE KNITTING TENSION!
After the last increase the piece measures approx. 6-7-7-8-9-10 cm from the marker on the neck. Now increase for the sleeves as follows.
INCREASES FOR SLEEVES
Work stocking stitch in the round.
AT THE SAME TIME, on the next round, increase 4 stitches for the sleeves as follows:
Increase AFTER markers 1 and 3 and increase BEFORE markers 2 and 4 – remember INCREASE TIP.
Here you are only increasing on the shoulders and the number of stitches on the front and back pieces remains the same. Increase like this every 2nd round a total of 11-13-13-15-12-12 times = 200-220-236-256-260-276 stitches.
The piece should now measure 16-19-19-22-20-21 cm from the marker on the neck. In size S continue working until the piece measures 17 cm. If the length is shorter than the above in sizes M, L, XL, XXL and XXXL, continue to the correct length without further increases. Now increase for the yoke as described below.
INCREASES FOR YOKE
Move the 4 markers so each marker sits in the outermost sleeve stitches on each side. There are 36-40-44-48-46-46 stitches between the marker-stitches on each sleeve.
On the next round, increase 8 stitches for the yoke by increasing on both sides of all 4 marker-stitches – remember INCREASE TIP.
Here you increase on the front and back pieces and on the sleeves; the increased stitches are worked in stocking stitch.
Increase like this every 2nd round a total of 4-4-6-6-8-10 times = 232-252-284-304-324-356 stitches.
When all the increases are finished, the piece should measure 21-23-24-27-27-30 cm. If the length is shorter than this, continue working to the correct length without further increases.
Now divide the yoke for the body and sleeves on the next round as follows:
Work the first 35-38-42-45-49-55 stitches (= ½ back piece), place the next 46-50-58-62-64-68 stitches on a thread for the sleeve, cast on 12-12-12-14-14-14 new stitches on the needle (= in side under sleeve), work the next 70-76-84-90-98-110 stitches (= front piece), place the next 46-50-58-62-64-68 stitches on a thread for the sleeve, cast on 12-12-12-14-14-14 new stitches on the needle (= in side under sleeve) and work the last 35-38-42-45-49-55 stitches (= ½ back piece). Body and sleeves are finished separately. THE PIECE IS NOW MEASURED FROM HERE.
BODY
= 164-176-192-208-224-248 stitches. Work stocking stitch in the round. When the piece measures 29-29-29-28-29-28 cm from the division, increase 16-18-20-20-22-26 stitches evenly spaced = 180-194-212-228-246-274 stitches. Change to circular needle size 4 mm and work rib (knit 1, purl 1) for 5 cm. Cast off with knit over knit and purl over purl – read CASTING-OFF TIP.
The jumper measures approx. 60-62-64-66-68-70 cm from the shoulder down.
SLEEVE
Place the 46-50-58-62-64-68 stitches from the thread on the one side of the piece on double pointed needles/short circular needle size 5 mm and knit up 1 stitch in each of the 12-12-12-14-14-14 stitches cast on under the sleeve = 58-62-70-76-78-82 stitches. Insert a marker in the middle of the new stitches under the sleeve. Work stocking stitch in the round. When the sleeve measures 4 cm from the division, decrease 1 stitch on each side of the marker – read DECREASE TIP. Decrease like this every 11-6-3½-3-3-2½ cm a total of 4-6-9-11-11-13 times = 50-50-52-54-56-56 stitches. Continue working until the sleeve measures 41-39-39-37-38-36 cm from the division. Knit 1 round where you decrease 10-8-8-8-10-8 stitches evenly spaced = 40-42-44-46-46-48 stitches. Change to double pointed needles size 4 mm and work rib (knit 1, purl 1) for 5 cm. Cast off with knit over knit and purl over purl – remember CASTING-OFF TIP. Work the other sleeve in the same way.
ASSEMBLY
Fold the neck double to the wrong side and sew down. To avoid the neck being tight and rolling outwards, it is important the seam is elastic.
