PATTERN
See diagrams A.1 to A.4.
Choose diagram for your size (applies to A.2 and A.4).
The diagrams show all rows in the pattern from the right side.
INCREASE TIP-1:
INCREASE 1 STITCH TOWARDS LEFT – from RIGHT SIDE:
Use the left needle to pick up the strand between 2 stitches from the row below, pick up the strand from the front and knit through the stitch loop that lies on the back of the needle.
INCREASE 1 STITCH TOWARDS THE RIGHT- from RIGHT SIDE:
Use the left needle to pick up the strand between 2 stitches from the row below, pick up the strand from the back and knit through the stitch loop that lies on the front of the needle.
INCREASE TIP-2:
INCREASE 1 STITCH TOWARDS THE RIGHT- from WRONG SIDE:
Use the left needle to pick up the strand between 2 stitches from the row below, pick up the strand from the back and purl through the stitch loop that lies on the front of the needle.
INCREASE 1 STITCH TOWARDS LEFT – from WRONG SIDE:
Use the left needle to pick up the strand between 2 stitches from the row below, pick up the strand from the front and purl through the stitch loop that lies on the back of the needle.
GARTER STITCH
Knit all rows, from both the right and wrong side.
1 ridge in height = knit 2 rows.
BEGINNING OF ROW
Work the band as follows (8 stitches): Slip 1 stitch purl-wise with yarn in front, knit 1, work 6 garter stitches.
END OF ROW
Work the band as follows (8 stitches): Work until there are 8 stitches left on the row, work 6 garter stitches, slip 1 stitch purl-wise with yarn in front, knit 1.
Work like this from both the right and wrong side.
BUTTONHOLES
Work the buttonholes on the right band (when the piece is worn) from the right side when there are 6 stitches left:
ROW 1 (right side): Make 1 yarn over, knit 2 together, slip 1 stitch purl-wise with strand in front, knit 1.
ROW 2 (wrong side): Work the band as before, knit the yarn over to leave a hole.
The first buttonhole is worked on the first row from the right side when all stitches have been increased for the neckline. Then work the other 4-4-4-5-5-5-5 buttonholes with 10-10½-11-9-9-9-9 cm between each one. The last buttonhole is worked in the transition between the stocking stitch and rib on the body.
SLEEVE TIP
When knitting up stitches under the sleeve, you can get a small hole in the transition between stitches on the body and sleeve. This hole can be closed by picking up the strand between 2 stitches and working this strand twisted together with the first stitch between body and sleeve.
DECREASE TIP
Decrease 1 stitch on each 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 in the middle of these 2 stitches), slip 1 stitch knit-wise, knit 1 and pass the slipped stitch over the knitted stitch (2 decreased stitches).
START THE PIECE HERE
JACKET – SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE.
The pattern uses both long and short needles; start with the length which fits the number of stitches and change when necessary.
If there is a «0» in your chosen size, skip the information and go straight to the next instruction.
Work according to points 1 – 5.
-
BACK PIECE:
Cast on stitches for the back of the neck. Work the back piece back and forth, increasing stitches on each side until the shoulder stitch count has been achieved. The back piece has slightly diagonal shoulder. -
FRONT PIECES:
Start by knitting up stitches along one back shoulder, working downwards and increasing for the neckline. Repeat on the other shoulder. -
YOKE:
Join the front and back pieces, working first 1 front piece, knitting up stitches for the sleeve along the side of the front piece, working the back piece, knitting up stitches for the sleeve along the side of the second front piece, then working this front piece. The yoke is continued back and forth from mid-front, with lace pattern on the front pieces and stocking stitch on the back piece. -
INCREASE FOR BODY AND SLEEVES:
While working the yoke, you increase stitches first for the sleeves, then for both the sleeves and body. -
BODY AND SLEEVES:
When all the increases are finished and the yoke is the correct length, it is divided for the body and sleeves. The body is continued back and forth while the sleeves wait. Stitches are knitted up for the bands along each front piece and worked back and forth.
The sleeves are worked in the round, top down. Stitches are knitted up along the neckline and the neck is worked back and forth to finish.
BACK PIECE
The piece is worked back and forth with circular needle. Cast on 28-28-30-30-32-32-32 stitches with circular needle size 4.5 mm and DROPS Air.

On the next row from the right side, cast on 15-15-16-16-16-16-16 stitches for the neckline at the end of the row = 40-42-43-45-46-48-50 stitches.
Some of the neckline-depth will lie on the back piece. Neckline-depth in front = 8-8-8-10-11-11-12 cm. Neckline-depth at back = 1-2-2-2-2-2-3 cm.

Now divide for the body and sleeves.
DIVIDE FOR BODY AND SLEEVES
Work 45-49-52-55-59-64-68 stitches as before (= front piece), place the next 50-54-54-62-68-70-72 stitches on a stitch holder for the sleeve, cast on 8-8-10-10-12-12-14 stitches (mid-under the sleeve), work the next 74-82-88-94-102-112-120 stitches (= back piece), place the next 50-54-54-62-68-70-72 stitches on a stitch holder for the sleeve, cast on 8-8-10-10-12-12-14 stitches (mid-under the sleeve), work the last 45-49-52-55-59-64-68 stitches as before (= front piece).
The body and sleeves are finished separately.
BODY
= 180-196-212-224-244-264-284 stitches.
Continue the bands, lace pattern and stocking stitch back and forth until the piece measures 51-53-55-57-58-60-62 cm from the cast-on edge mid-back.
On the next row from the right side, begin the rib. AT THE SAME TIME increase 29-29-31-35-37-41-43 stitches evenly on the row as follows:
Change to circular needle size 3 mm, work the band as before, rib (knit 1, purl 1 – remember to increase), until there are 9 stitches left, knit 1 and work the band as before = 209-225-243-259-281-305-327 stitches.
When the rib measures 3-3-3-3-4-4-4 cm, cast off with rib or work Italian cast-off.
The jacket measures approx. 54-56-58-60-62-64-66 cm from top of shoulder.
SLEEVES
Place the 50-54-54-62-68-70-72 sleeve-stitches from one stitch holder onto circular needle size 4.5 mm and knit up 1 stitch in each of the 8-8-10-10-12-12-14 stitches cast on under the sleeve – read SLEEVE TIP = 58-62-64-72-80-82-86 stitches. Insert a marker-thread in the middle of the 8-8-10-10-12-12-14 stitches under the sleeve. The round starts by the marker-thread.
Work stocking stitch in the round.
AT THE SAME TIME, when the sleeve measures 1 cm from the division, decrease mid-under the sleeve – read DECREASE TIP as follows: Decrease 2 stitches 2-3-3-3-3-3-4 times every 2nd round, then 2 stitches 0-0-0-3-6-6-6 times every 2 cm = 54-56-58-60-62-64-66 stitches.
Continue working until the sleeve measures 39-39-39-39-37-36-36 cm from the division.
Change to double pointed needles size 3 mm. Work rib (knit 1, purl 1), AT THE SAME TIME increase 8-8-8-8-8-10-10 stitches evenly on the first round = 62-64-66-68-70-74-76 stitches.
When the rib measures 3-3-3-3-4-4-4 cm, cast off with rib or work Italian cast-off. The sleeve measures approx. 42-42-42-42-41-40-40 cm from the division.
NECK
Use circular needle size 3 mm. Start from the right side, mid-front and knit up 93-95-105-109-115-115-119 stitches along the neckline, inside 1 stitch (stitch count should be divisible by 2 + 1).
Work the first row from the wrong side:
The band as before, rib (purl 1, knit 1) until there are 9 stitches left, purl 1 and work the band as before.
From the right side: The band as before, rib (knit 1, purl 1) until there are 9 stitches left, knit 1 and work the band as before.
Continue this rib for 3-3-3-3½-3½-4-4 cm. Cast off with rib or work Italian cast-off.
ASSEMBLY
Sew the buttons onto the left band.
