Pattern for DROPS 212-1


----------------------------------------------------------

EXPLANATION FOR THE PATTERN:

----------------------------------------------------------

INCREASE/DECREASE TIP (evenly):


To calculate how to increase/decrease evenly, use the total number of stitches on row (e.g. 92
stitches) and divide stitches by number of increases/decreases to be done (e.g. 4) = 23.
In this example increase by making 1 yarn over after every 23rd stitch. On next round work yarn
overs twisted to avoid holes.
To decrease in this example knit every 22nd and 23rd stitch together.

PATTERN:
See diagram A.1 (raglan line) and A.2 (pattern on sleeves).

RAGLAN:
Increase 1 stitch for raglan in each side of the 10 stitches in A.1 in every transition between
front/back piece and sleeves (= 8 stitches increased in total on increase round).
Increase 1 stitch by making 1 yarn over. On next round knit yarn overs twisted to avoid holes. Then
work the new stitches in stocking stitch on front and back piece and in A.2 on sleeves.

DECREASE TIP-1 (applies to sides of body):


Decrease 1 stitch on each side of marker thread as follows: Work until 3 stitches remain before
marker thread, knit 2 together, knit 2 stitches (marker thread is between these 2 stitches), slip 1
stitch knitwise, knit 1, pass slipped stitch over stitch worked (= 2 stitches decreased).

DECREASE TIP-2 (applies to mid under sleeves):


Decrease 1 stitch on each side of marker thread as follows: Work until 3 stitches remain before
marker thread, purl 2 together, purl 2 (marker thread is in the middle of these 2 stitches), purl 2
twisted together (= 2 stitches decreased).

INCREASE TIP (applies to sides of body):


Work until 1 stitch remains before marker thread, make 1 yarn over, knit 2 (marker thread is
between these 2 stitches), make 1 yarn over (= 2 stitches increased). On next round knit yarn
overs twisted to avoid holes. Then work the new stitches in stocking stitch.

CAST-OFF TIP:

7/18/23, 11:54 AM Evening Glow - Knitted jumper in DROPS Sky. Piece is knitted top down with raglan and short sleeves with lace pattern. Size: S - XXXL…

To avoid a tight cast-off edge you may use a larger needle size. If this also is too tight, work a 1
yarn over after approx. every 8th stitch while casting off (cast off yarn overs as regular stitches).

----------------------------------------------------------

START THE PIECE HERE:

----------------------------------------------------------

JUMPER - SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE:


Work neck edge and yoke in the round on circular needle from mid back, top down. Now divide yoke
for body and sleeves. Body is worked in the round from the side, top down. Work sleeves in the
round on double pointed needles/short circular needle, top down.

NECK EDGE:
Cast on 92-96-100-106-110-114 stitches on circular needle size 3 mm with Sky. Knit 1 round. Then
work rib in the round (= knit 1/purl 1) for 3 cm.
When rib is done, knit 1 round while increasing 4-8-8-6-2-6 stitches evenly - read
DECREASE/INCREASE TIP = 96-104-108-112-112-120 stitches. Insert 1 marker in the middle of
row (= mid front). Measure yoke from this marker.
Switch to circular needle size 4 mm and knit 1 round (knit all yarn overs twisted).
Then work yoke as explained below. REMEMBER THE KNITTING TENSION!

YOKE:
Insert 4 marker threads in piece as explained below (insert marker threads without working the
stitches):
Count 14-16-17-18-18-20 stitches (= ½ back piece), insert 1 marker thread before next stitch,
count 20 stitches (= sleeve), insert 1 marker thread before next stitch, count 28-32-34-36-36-40
stitches (= front piece), insert 1 marker thread before next stitch, count 20 stitches (= sleeve),
insert 1 marker thread before next stitch. 14-16-17-18-18-20 stitches remain on back piece after
last marker thread.

On next round begin pattern as explained below, AT THE SAME TIME increase for RAGLAN - read
explanation above. I.e. work next round as follows:
Work 9-11-12-13-13-15 stitches in stocking stitch (= ½ back piece), increase 1 stitch for raglan,
work A.1 (= 10 stitches – marker thread is in the middle of A.1), increase 1 stitch for raglan,
work A.2 (= 10 stitches), increase 1 stitch for raglan,
work A.1 (= 10 stitches – marker thread is in the middle of A.1), increase 1 stitch for raglan,
work 18-22-24-26-26-30 stitches in stocking stitch (= front piece), increase 1 stitch for raglan,
work A.1 (= 10 stitches – marker thread is in the middle of A.1), increase 1 stitch for raglan,
work A.2 (= 10 stitches), increase 1 stitch for raglan,
work A.1 (= 10 stitches – marker thread is in the middle of A.1), increase 1 stitch for raglan,
work 9-11-12-13-13-15 stitches in stocking stitch (= ½ back piece).

7/18/23, 11:54 AM Evening Glow - Knitted jumper in DROPS Sky. Piece is knitted top down with raglan and short sleeves with lace pattern. Size: S - XXXL…

Continue pattern like this, and increase for raglan every other round 23-25-29-33-37-40 times in
total (including increases explained on first round. NOTE! Work the increased stitches on sleeves in
pattern until there are 5-5-7-7-7-7 repetitions in width over sleeve (see star in diagram that marks
1 repetition), then purl the next increased stitches until finished measurements (A.2 shows sleeve
with all increases in size S).
After last increase for raglan there are 280-304-340-376-408-440 stitches on needle.
Work without increases until piece measures 19-21-23-25-27-29 cm from marker by the neck.
Now divide yoke for body and sleeves, i.e. work last round as follows: Work 40-44-49-54-60-66
stitches in stocking stitch (= ½ back piece), slip the next 60-64-72-80-84-88 stitches on 1 stitch
holder, cast on 8 new stitches on needle (= in the side under sleeve), work 80-88-98-108-120-132
stitches in stocking stitch (= front piece), slip the next 60-64-72-80-84-88 stitches on 1 stitch
holder, cast on 8 new stitches on needle (= in the side under sleeve) and work the remaining 40-44-
49-54-60-66 stitches in stocking stitch (= ½ back piece). Cut the yarn. Finish body and sleeves
separately.

BODY:
= 176-192-212-232-256-280 stitches. Insert 1 marker thread in each side on body, in the middle of
the 8 stitches cast on under each sleeve= 88-96-106-116-128-140 stitches between marker
threads. Move the marker threads upwards when working; they should be used for increase and
decrease later in the sides on body.
Work in stocking stitch in the round. When piece measures 3 cm from division, decrease 1 stitch on
each side of both marker threads - read DECREASE TIP-1 (= 4 stitches decreased). Decrease like
this every 3 cm 4 times in total in each side = 160-176-196-216-240-264 stitches.
Work until piece measures 16 cm from division. On next round increase 1 stitch on each side of both
marker threads – read INCREASE TIP (= 4 stitches increased). Increase like this every 2½ cm 6
times in total in each side = 184-200-220-240-264-288 stitches.
Work until piece measures 33 cm from division (approx. 3 cm remain until finished measurements,
try the jumper on and work to desired length).
Switch to circular needle size 3 mm. Knit 1 round while increasing 36-40-44-48-52-58 stitches
evenly - read INCREASE/DECREASE TIP = 220-240-264-288-316-346 stitches.
Work rib in the round = knit 1/purl 1 for 3 cm. Cast off with knit over knit and purl over purl - read
CAST-OFF TIP. Jumper measures approx. 58-60-62-64-66-68 cm from shoulder and down.

SLEEVES:
Slip the 60-64-72-80-84-88 stitches from stitch holder in one side of piece on double pointed
needles or a short circular needle size 4 mm, and pick in addition up 1 stitch in each of the 8
stitches cast on under sleeve = 68-72-80-88-92-96 stitches.
Insert 1 marker thread in the middle of the 8 stitches cast on under sleeve. Move the marker thread
upwards when working; it should be used for decrease mid under sleeve.
Begin round at the marker thread and continue pattern in the round with A.2 over the middle 46-
46-64-64-64-64 stitches, and purl the remaining 22-26-16-24-28-32 stitches mid under sleeve.
When sleeve measures 2 cm from division in all sizes, decrease 2 stitches mid under sleeve - read
DECREASE TIP-2. Decrease like this every 3-2-1½-1-½-½ cm 5-6-8-10-12-13 times in total = 58-
60-64-68-68-70 stitches.

Work until sleeve measures 17-15-14-12-11-9 cm from division (approx. 3 cm remain until finished
measurements, try the jumper on and work to desired length). NOTE! Shorter measurements in the
larger sizes because of wider neck and longer yoke.
Knit 1 round while decreasing 6-6-8-10-8-8 stitches evenly - remember INCREASE/DECREASE TIP =
52-54-56-58-60-62 stitches.
Switch to double pointed needles size 3 mm. Work rib in the round = knit 1/purl 1 for 3 cm. Cast off
with knit over knit and purl over purl - read CAST-OFF TIP. Work the other sleeve the same way.
