EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN
INCREASE TIP (for sides of body):
Work until there are 2 stitches left before the marker thread, 1 yarn over, knit 4 (marker thread sits between these 4 stitches), 1 yarn over. On the next round knit the yarn overs twisted to avoid holes. Then work the new stitches in stocking stitch.
DECREASE TIP (for armholes and neckline):
All decreases are worked from the right side!
DECREASE 1 STITCH AT THE BEGINNING OF THE ROW:
1 edge stitch in garter stitch, knit 2, slip 1 stitch knit-wise, knit 1, pass the slipped stitch over the knitted stitch (= 1 stitch decreased).
DECREASE 1 STITCH AT THE END OF THE ROW:
Work until there are 5 stitches left on the row, knit 2 together (= 1 stitch decreased), knit 2 and 1 edge stitch in garter stitch.
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 for the front and back pieces which are finished separately, back and forth. The neck and sleeve-edges are worked in the round with circular needle to finish.
BODY
Cast on 188-196-214-242-268-282 stitches with circular needle size 4 mm and DROPS Nepal. Work rib in the round (knit 1, purl 1) for 6 cm. Knit 1 round and decrease 20-20-22-26-28-30 stitches evenly spaced = 168-176-192-216-240-252 stitches. Insert a marker-thread at the beginning of the round and 1 marker-thread after 84-88-96-108-120-126 stitches. Allow the threads to follow your work onwards – they are used when increasing in the sides. Change to circular needle size 5 mm.
Work stocking stitch. REMEMBER THE KNITTING TENSION!
When the piece measures 10 cm, increase 2 stitches on each side - read INCREASE TIP. Increase like this every 14-6-6-16-16-17 cm a total of 2-4-4-2-2-2 times = 176-192-208-224-248-260 stitches.
Work until the piece measures 32-33-34-35-36-37 cm. On the next round cast off for the armholes as follows: Start 5-6-7-8-9-10 stitches before the first marker-thread, cast off 10-12-14-16-18-20 stitches, work as far as 5-6-7-8-9-10 stitches before the second marker-thread, cast off 10-12-14-16-18-20 stitches. Finish the front and back pieces separately. Place the first 78-84-90-96-106-110 stitches on a thread for the front piece.
BACK PIECE
= 78-84-90-96-106-110 stitches. On the next row from the right side decrease 1 stitch on each side for the armholes - read DECREASE TIP. Continue with stocking stitch back and forth (with 1 edge stitch in garter stitch on each side) and decrease like this every 2nd row (each row from the right side) a total of 5-7-9-10-15-14 times, then every 4th row (every 2nd row from the right side) 3-3-2-2-1-2 times = 62-64-68-72-74-78 stitches. Work the shoulders and neckline simultaneously as described below. Read the next section before continuing.
DIAGONAL SHOULDERS and NECKLINE:
When the piece measures 57-59-61-63-65-67 cm, place stitches on a thread on each side for the shoulders (to avoid cutting the strand, work the stitches first):
Place stitches on the threads on each side as follows: 5-6-6-7-7-7 stitches 2 times and then the last 7-6-7-7-7-9 stitches. When all the stitches are on the threads, place them back on circular needle size 5 mm. Work 1 row stocking stitch (to avoid holes in the transitions between stitches, 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.
AT THE SAME TIME when the piece measures 58-60-62-64-66-68 cm, cast off the middle 26-26-28-28-30-30 stitches for the neck (18-19-20-22-22-24 stitches on each shoulder) and finish each shoulder separately. On the next row decrease 1 stitch from the neck. When all the stitches are cast off, the piece measures approx. 60-62-64-66-68-70 cm from the top of the shoulder. Repeat on the other shoulder.
FRONT PIECE
= 78-84-90-96-106-110 stitches. On the next row from the right side, decrease 1 stitch on each side for the armholes - remember DECREASE TIP. Continue with stocking stitch back and forth (with 1 edge stitch in garter stitch on each side) and decrease like this every 2nd row (each row from the right side) a total of 5-7-9-10-15-14 times, then every 4th row (every 2nd row from the right side) 3-3-2-2-1-2 times = 62-64-68-72-74-78 stitches.
When the piece measures 52-54-55-57-58-60 cm, place the middle 18-18-18-18-20-20 stitches on a thread for the neckline (22-23-25-27-27-29 shoulder stitches left) and finish each shoulder separately. Continue working and decreasing 1 stitch for the neck every 2nd row (each row from the right side) a total of 5-5-6-6-6-6 times – remember DECREASE TIP = 17-18-19-21-21-23 shoulder stitches. Now work the diagonal shoulders as described below.
DIAGONAL SHOULDERS
When the piece measures 57-59-61-63-65-67 cm, place stitches on a thread on each side for the shoulders in the same way as on the back piece, i.e., 5-6-6-7-7-7 stitches 2 times and then the last 7-6-7-7-7-9 stitches. When all the stitches are on the threads, place them back on circular needle size 5 mm. Work 1 row stocking stitch in the same way as on the back piece. Cast off on the next row.
The piece measures approx. 60-62-64-66-68-70 cm from the top of the shoulder.
Repeat on the other shoulder.
ASSEMBLY
Sew the shoulder seams.
NECK
Start from the right side on one shoulder, with short circular needle size 4 mm, and knit up 76 to 92 stitches around the neck (including the stitches from the thread) inside the 1 edge stitch (stitch count must be divisible by 2). Work rib in the round (knit 1, purl 1) for 3 cm. Cast off with knit over knit and purl over purl.
SLEEVE-EDGES
Start from the right side at the bottom of the armhole, with short circular needle size 4 mm, and knit up 96-98-102-106-110-114 stitches around the armhole, inside the 1 edge stitch (stitch count must be divisible by 2). Work rib in the round (knit 1, purl 1) for 3 cm. Cast off with knit over knit and purl over purl. Work the other sleeve-edge in the same way.
