Tools

INCREASE TIP
Increase 1 stitch by making 1 yarn over, which is worked twisted on the next round to avoid a hole.

PATTERN
See diagram A.1.

RAGLAN

Increase 1 stitch before/after 2 knitted stitches in each transition between body and sleeves; the marker-thread sits between these 2 stitches. Increase 1 stitch by making 1 yarn over, which is worked twisted on the next round to avoid a hole.

DECREASE TIP (for body and sleeves):
Decrease 2 stitches on each side of the marker as follows: Work until there are 6 stitches left before the marker, knit/purl 3 together (follow the pattern), work 6 stitches as before (marker sits between these stitches), knit/purl 3 together (= 4 stitches decreased).

JUMPER – SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE

The neck and yoke are worked in the round with circular needle, from mid back and top down. The yoke is divided for body and sleeves and the body is continued in the round. The sleeves are worked in the round with short circular needle/double pointed needles.

DOUBLE NECK

Cast on 120-120-120-136-136-136 stitches with DROPS Nord, using short circular needles sizes 3.5 and 3 mm held together. Remove the 3.5 mm needle keeping stitches on the 3 mm needle (this gives you an elastic cast-on edge). Knit 1 round. Work rib in the round as follows: Purl 1, * knit 2, purl 2 , work from -* until there are 3 stitches left, knit 2, purl 1. Work this rib for 9 cm.
Insert a marker at the beginning of the round (between 2 purled stitches); this is used when measuring the yoke!

YOKE

Change to circular needle size 3.5 mm. Insert 4 marker-threads, without working the stitches which are used when increasing for raglan, each is inserted between 2 knitted stitches:
Count 22-22-22-26-26-26 stitches (half back piece), insert 1 marker-thread, count 16 stitches (sleeve), insert 1 marker-thread, count 44-44-44-52-52-52 stitches (front piece), insert 1 marker-thread, count 16 stitches (sleeve), insert 1 marker-thread, there are 22-22-22-26-26-26 stitches left after the last marker-thread (half back piece).

Now increase as follows: Knit 22-22-22-26-26-26, knit 16 and increase 1 stitch over these stitches - read INCREASE TIP, knit 44-44-44-52-52-52 and increase 1 stitch over these stitches, knit 16 and increase 1 stitch over these stitches, knit 22-22-22-26-26-26 and increase 1 stitch over these stitches. REMEMBER THE KNITTING TENSION! There are 124-124-124-140-140-140 stitches on the needle.

Work A.1 in the round with 2 knitted stitches in each raglan-line. AT THE SAME TIME on the first round, begin increasing for RAGLAN – read description above.
Increase like this every 2nd round a total of 28-32-36-38-39-39 times = 348-380-412-444-452-452 stitches. Continue with the pattern and increasing for raglan but now increase only on the body, the sleeve increases are finished. Increase every 2nd round 3-2-4-3-7-9 times. You have increased a total of 31-34-40-41-46-48 times on the body and 28-32-36-38-39-39 times on the sleeves.
There are 360-388-428-456-480-488 stitches. Continue the pattern, but without further increases, until the piece measures 23-25-28-28-31-33 cm from the marker.

Now divide for the body and sleeves as follows:
Work 53-56-62-67-72-74 stitches as before (half back piece), place the next 73-81-89-93-95-95 stitches on a thread for the sleeve, cast on 9-11-11-13-15-21 stitches under the sleeve, work 107-113-125-135-145-149 stitches (front piece), place the next 73-81-89-93-95-95 stitches on a thread for the sleeve, cast on 9-11-11-13-15-21 stitches under the sleeve, work the last 54-57-63-68-73-75 stitches (= 107-113-125-135-145-149 stitches on the back piece).

BODY

= 232-248-272-296-320-340 stitches. Insert a marker in the middle of the new stitches cast on under each sleeve. Continue the pattern in the round for a further 2 cm. Now decrease 2 stitches on each side of both markers – read DECREASE TIP (8 stitches decreased on the round). Decrease like every 16-13-13-13-16-0 cm 1-2-2-2-1-0 more times = 216-224-248-272-304-332 stitches. Continue working until the body measures 30-30-29-31-30-30 cm from the division (4 cm left; try the jumper on and work to desired length). Knit 1 round and increase 20-20-20-24-24-28 stitches evenly spaced = 236-244-268-296-328-360 stitches. Change to circular needles size 3 mm. Work rib (knit 2, purl 2) for 4 cm. Cast off with knit over knit and purl over purl. The jumper measures approx. 60-62-64-66-68-70 cm from the shoulder.

SLEEVES

Place the 73-81-89-93-95-95 stitches from the thread on the one side of the piece on short circular needles/double pointed needles size 3.5 mm and knit up 1 stitch in each of the 9-11-11-13-15-21 stitches cast on under the sleeve = 82-92-100-106-110-116 stitches. Insert a marker in the middle of the new stitches under the sleeve.
Continue the pattern in the round.
When the sleeve measures 2 cm, decrease 2 stitches on each side of the marker – remember DECREASE TIP. Decrease like this every 7½-5-4-3½-3-2½ cm a total of 5-7-8-9-10-11 times = 62-64-68-70-70-72 stitches. Continue working until the sleeve measures 40-38-36-36-34-33 cm from the division (or to desired length. There is 4 cm left). Knit 1 round and increase 6-4-4-6-6-8 stitches evenly spaced = 68-68-72-76-76-80 stitches. Change to double pointed needles size 3 mm and work rib (knit 2, purl 2) for 4 cm. Cast off with knit over knit and purl over purl.
Work the other sleeve in the same way.
