Pattern for DROPS 232-16

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

EXPLANATION FOR THE PATTERN:

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

PATTERN:
See diagrams A.1 and A.2.

STRIPES:
* Work 7-7-7-8-8-8 cm with colour light beige, work 3 cm with colour powder pink *, work from *-*.

RAGLAN:
Increase 1 stitch in each side of 7 stitches (= A.1) in every transition between body and sleeves (= 8
stitches increased on round). Increase 1 stitch by making 1 yarn over. On next round work yarn overs
twisted to avoid holes. Then work the new stitches in pattern A.2.

DECREASE TIP (applies to sleeves):

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

JUMPER - SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE:

Neck edge and yoke are worked in the round on circular needle, top down. Now divide yoke for body and
sleeves. Work the body in the round on circular needle. Work sleeves in the round on double pointed

The beginning of round is in transition between back piece and right sleeve. Switch to circular needle size 3
mm, and work as follows:
A.1, A.2 over the next 9 stitches, A.1, A.2 over the next 37-37-41-41-45-45 stitches, A.1, A.2 over the
next 9 stitches, A.1, A.2 over the next 37-37-41-41-45-45 stitches. Continue this pattern, on next round
begin increase for RAGLAN – read explanation above (8 stitches increased). Increase like this every other
round 26-32-34-40-44-50 times in total = 328-376-400-448-488-536 stitches. REMEMBER THE KNITTING
TENSION!

Work without increase until piece measures 21-23-25-27-29-31 cm from marker thread. Now divide yoke
for body and sleeves:
Work the first 4 stitches (back piece), slip the next 67-79-83-95-103-115 stitches on a thread for sleeve
and cast on 9-9-11-11-13-13 new stitches on needle (in the side under sleeve), work the next 97-109-
117-129-141-153 stitches (front piece), slip the next 67-79-83-95-103-115 stitches on a thread for sleeve
and cast on 9-9-11-11-13-13 new stitches on needle (in the side under sleeve), work the next 93-105-
113-125-137-149 stitches (back piece).

BODY:
= 212-236-256-280-308-332 stitches. Work A.2 in the round. Continue with stripes when 4 stripes have
been worked in total with colour powder pink, finish the piece with colour light beige. Work until piece
measures 24 cm from division. 4 cm remain until finished measurements. Knit 1 round while increasing 46-
50-54-58-64-70 stitches evenly = 258-286-310-338-372-402 stitches. Switch to circular needle size 2.5
mm. Work rib (= knit 1/purl 1). Continue rib like this for 4 cm. Cast off. Jumper measures approx. 52-54-
56-58-60-62 cm from shoulder and down.

SLEEVE:
Slip the 67-79-83-95-103-115 stitches from thread in one side of piece back on a short circular
needle/double pointed needles size 3 mm, and pick in addition up 1 stitch in each of the 9-9-11-11-13-13
stitches cast on under sleeve = 76-88-94-106-116-128 stitches. Insert a marker thread in the middle of
the new stitches. Work pattern as before and continue with stripes. When 5 stripes have been worked in
total with colour powder pink, finish the piece with colour light beige. AT THE SAME TIME when piece
measures 3-3-3-2-2-3 cm, decrease 2 stitches under sleeve - READ DECREASE TIP. Decrease like this
approx. every 6-3-2½-2-1½-1 cm 6-10-10-14-18-22 times in total = 64-68-74-78-80-84 stitches.
Continue until piece measures 35-34-31-31-29-28 cm from division. Switch to double pointed needles size
2.5 mm. Work rib (knit 1/purl 1) for 4 cm. Cast off. Sleeve measures approx. 39-38-35-35-33-32 cm from
division. Work the other sleeve the same way.
