---------------------------------------------------------- EXPLANATION FOR THE PATTERN: ---------------------------------------------------------- GARTER STITCH (back and forth): 1 ridge = knit 2 rows. STRIPES AND PATTERN: Work piece in pattern A.1, A.2 and A.3 – AT THE SAME TIME work stripes as follows: * Work 3 cm = 1⅛" light jeans blue (including neck edge), and then 2 cm = ¾" white * – repeat these color stripes until 5-5-6-7-8-9 stripes with white have been worked on yoke/body and 6-7-8-9-10-10 stripes white on yoke/sleeve. Then work with light jeans blue until finished measurements. INCREASE TIP (evenly spaced): To calculate how to increase evenly, use the total number of stitches on row (e.g. 141 stitches), minus bands (= 131 stitches) and divide the stitches by number of increases to be done (e.g. 27) = 4.8. In this example increase after approx. every 5th stitch by making 1 yarn over and do not increase over bands. On next row work yarn overs twisted to avoid holes. RAGLAN: Increase on each side of the 4 stitches with markers on every row from right side as follows: Make 1 yarn over, work 1 stitch in stockinette stitch (= stitch with marker), make 1 yarn over. On next row purl yarn over twisted to avoid holes. Work the increased stitches in pattern when increasing. DECREASE TIP (applies to sleeves): Decrease 1 stitch on each side of stitch with marker as follows: Work until 2 stitches remain before stitch with marker, slip 1 stitch knitwise, knit 1, pass slipped stitch over stitch worked, knit 1 (marker is in the stitch), knit the next 2 stitches together. BUTTONHOLES: Decrease for buttonholes on right band (when garment is worn). Decrease from right side when 3 stitches remain on row as follows: Make 1 yarn over, knit the next 2 stitches together, knit last stitch. On next row knit yarn over to make holes. Decrease first buttonhole when piece measures approx. 1 cm = ⅜". Then decrease the next 4-4-5-5-6-6 buttonholes approx. every 6-7-6½-7-7-7½ cm = 2⅜"-2¾"-2½"-2¾"-2¾"-3". ---------------------------------------------------------- START THE PIECE HERE: ---------------------------------------------------------- JACKET - SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE: Yoke and body are worked back and forth, top down. Work sleeves in the round on double pointed needles. YOKE: Cast on 88-92-96-100-104-108 stitches (including 5 band stitches in each side of piece) on circular needle size 3 mm = US 2,5 with light jeans blue. Work 5 band stitches in GARTER STITCH – read explanation above, work rib (= knit 2 / purl 2) until 7 stitches remain, knit 2 and 5 band stitches in garter stitch. When piece measures approx. 1 cm = ⅜", switch to circular needle size 4 mm = US 6 and decrease for BUTTONHOLES – read explanation above. Knit 1 row from right side while increasing evenly 7-5-7-5-7-5 stitches = 95-97-103-105-111-113 stitches. Knit 1 row from wrong side. Now insert 4 markers for RAGLAN in the piece without working as follows: Insert 1st marker in the 18th-18th-20th-20th-22nd-22nd stitch, insert 2nd marker in the 32nd-32nd-34th-34th-36th-36th stitch, insert 3rd marker in the 64th-66th-70th-72nd-76th-78th stitch, insert 4th marker in the 78th-80th-84th-86th-90th-92nd stitch. then work STRIPES AND PATTERN with 5 band stitches in garter stitch in each side - read explanation above, and read the entire section before continuing. Work as follows from right side: Work 5 band stitches in garter stitch, work A.1 over 1 stitch, work A.2 over the next 10-10-12-12-14-14 stitches, work A.3 over 1 stitch, make 1 yarn over, 1 stitch in stockinette stitch, make 1 yarn over (= increase for raglan). Work A.2 over the next 12 stitches, work A.3 over 1 stitch, make 1 yarn over, 1 stitch in stockinette stitch, make 1 yarn over (= increase for raglan). Work A.2 over the next 30-32-34-36-38-40 stitches, work A.3 over 1 stitch, make 1 yarn over, 1 stitch in stockinette stitch, make 1 yarn over (= increase for raglan). Work A.2 over the next 12 stitches, work A.3 over 1 stitch, make 1 yarn over, 1 stitch in stockinette stitch, make 1 yarn over (= increase for raglan). Work A.2 over the next 12-12-14-14-16-16 stitches and 5 band stitches in garter stitch. First increase for raglan is now done (= 8 stitches increased). Work from wrong side as follows: Work 5 band stitches in garter stitch, work pattern according to A.1/A.2/A.3 (purl all rows from wrong side in diagram) until 5 stitches remain, and work 5 band stitches in garter stitch. REMEMBER THE KNITTING GAUGE! Continue with stripes and pattern and increases for raglan until you have increased a total of 15-16-17-18-19-20 times = 215-225-239-249-263-273 stitches. Continue with pattern and stripes until piece measures 13-14-15-16-17-18 cm = 5⅛"-5½"-6"-6¼"-6¾"-7" from cast-on edge. On next row divide piece for body and sleeves as follows: Work 5 band stitches in garter stitch, 28-29-32-33-36-37 stitches in pattern as before (= front piece), slip the next 43-45-47-49-51-53 stitches on a stitch holder for sleeve and cast on 6 stitches in the side under sleeve, work 63-67-71-75-79-83 stitches in pattern as before (= back piece), slip the next 43-45-47-49-51-53 stitches on a stitch holder for sleeve and cast on 6 stitches under sleeve, work 28-29-32-33-36-37 stitches in pattern as before and finish with 5 band stitches in garter stitch (= front piece) = 141-147-157-163-173-179 stitches. BODY: Continue with pattern, stripes and band stitches as before. NOTE: When 5-5-6-7-8-9 stripes with white have been worked in total, work the rest of the piece in light jeans blue. When piece measures 17-19-22-25-28-31 cm = 6¾"-7½"-8¾"-9¾"-11"-12¼" from division, knit 1 row from right side while increasing 27-33-31-37-39-41 stitches evenly - read INCREASE TIP = 168-180-188-200-212-220 stitches. Switch to circular needle size 3 mm = US 2,5. Work next row from wrong side as follows: Work 5 band stitches in garter stitch, work rib (= knit 2 / purl 2) until 7 stitches remain, purl 2 and 5 band stitches in garter stitch. Bind off by knitting from right side when piece measures 19-21-24-27-30-33 cm = 7½"-8¼"-9½"-10⅝"-11¾"-13" from division – use if needed a thicker needle to bind off to avoid a tight edge. Jacket measures approx. 33-36-40-44-48-52 cm = 13"-14¼"-15¾"-17¼"-19"-20½", measured from shoulder and down. SLEEVE: Slip the 43-45-47-49-51-53 stitches from stitch holder in one side of piece on double pointed needles size 4 mm = US 6 and pick up 1 new stitch in each of the 6 stitches cast on under sleeve = 49-51-53-55-57-59 stitches. Work in the round and continue pattern and stripes as before (the stitch with marker is knitted on every round). When sleeve measures 2 cm = ¾" from where sleeve was divided from body, decrease 1 stitch on each side of marker thread (= 2 stitches decreased) - read DECREASE TIP. Decrease like this every 4-4-5-5-7-6 cm = 1½"-1½"-2"-2"-2¾"-2⅜" 5-6-5-6-5-6 times in total = 39-39-43-43-47-47 stitches. NOTE: When 6-7-8-9-10-10 stripes with white have been worked in total, work the rest of the piece in light jeans blue. Work until piece measures 19-23-27-31-35-38 cm = 7½"-9"-10⅝"-12¼"-13¾"-15" from division. Knit 1 round and decrease 3-3-3-3-3-3 stitches evenly = 36-36-40-40-44-44 stitches. Switch to double pointed needles size 3 mm = US 2,5 and work rib with knit 2/purl 2. Bind off by knitting when sleeve measures 23-27-31-35-39-42 cm = 9"-10⅝"-12¼"-13¾"-15¼"-16½" from division – use if needed a thicker needle to bind off to avoid a tight edge. Work the other sleeve the same way. ASSEMBLY: Sew the buttons on to the left band. |

Bonjour J'ai commencé le point fantaisie du Sky Stripes Jacket et j'obtiens tout simplement des côtes 1/ 1 . Est-ce que je n'ai pas compris le diagramme? Merci

Bonjour Mme Macias, les côtes que vous devez avoir doivent être des côtes 1 maille jersey, 1 maille point mousse; A.1 = 1 maille jersey endroit; A.2 = 1 maille point mousse, 1 maille jersey endroit; A.3 = 1 maille point mousse. Notez que le point noir se tricote' à l'envers sur l'endroit et à l'envers sur l'envers, on obtient ainsi un point mousse (un peu plus serré que lorsque l'on tricote toujours à l'endroit). Bon tricot!

Hello! I am knitting the first RS row following division of the sleeves. I’m having a problem around the first underarm section where I have cast on 6 new stitches for the side. Here are what my stitches look like - K (raglan stitch), p, k, p, k, p, k, K (raglan stitch) Is this correct to have 2 K sts side by side? I have checked my stitch count and it is correct (163, size 4) Thank you. Apologies for the repost, wasn’t sure I had posted under the right category!

Dear Hannah, your question has been forwarded to our Design team, but due to summer holiday, it might take time - if you want to continue, I would then recommand pick up one extra stitch under each sleeve to let the pattern working over all stitches on body. Happy knitting!

And where, exactly am I placing the markers? Is that after 19 stitches including the 5 garter stitches? Then 36 stitches after that marker or 36 stitches from the beginning? Similarly with the other 2 markers, where do I place them? Something is lost on the translation here.
12.11.2022 - 00:27DROPS Design answered:
Dear Josephine, you insert the markers inside a stitch, not between them. The first one is in the 18....22nd stitch (depending on the size), 32....36th stitch (counting from the beginning of the row, not the previous one) and the other 2 are inserted similarly. These stitches with markers form the raglan stitches and are always knitted. The increases for the raglan are worked on each side of these stitches with markers. Happy knitting!

What does this mean: work A.1 over 1 stitch, work A.2 over the next 10-10-12-12-14-14 stitches, work A.3 over 1 stitch, make 1 yarn over, 1 stitch in stockinette stitch, make 1 yarn over (= increase for raglan). Work A.2 over the next 12 stitches, work A.3 over 1 stitch, make 1 yarn over, 1 stitch in stockinette stitch, make 1 yarn over (= increase for raglan). Work A.2 over the next 30-32-34-36-38-40 stitches, work A.3 over 1 stitch, make 1 yarn over, 1 stitch in stockinette stitch, make 1 yarn

Dear Josephine, work as follows: 5 sts in garter stitch (knitted), A.1 over 1 stitch ( knit from the RS and purl from the WS), A.2 (= 2 sts which are repeated 5...7 times depending on the size), A,3 (= 1 st, purl from the RS and purl from the WS), 1 yarn over, 1 st in stocking stitch, 1 yarn over, A.2 (worked as before), A.3 (as before), yarn over, 1 st in stocking stitch), yarn over, A.2 (as before), A.3 (as before), yarn over, 1 stitch in stocking stitch, yarn over. You can see the charts A.1, A.2 and A.3 under the sleeve in the measurements schematic. Happy knitting!

Zu meiner vorherigen Frage noch vollgende Anmerkung. In Summe geht es zwar mit dem Muster auf, unter dem ersten Ärmel gibt es für das Rückenteil jedoch eine Verschiebung des Muster, welches sich erst unter dem zweiten Ärmel wieder ausgleicht.

Liebe Christine, die Raglanmasche wird jetzt im Muster gestrickt (und nicht mehr glatt rechts), so wird das Muster wie zuvor passen. Viel Spaß beim stricken!

Hallo, Wie verfahren ich im Muster nach Stillleben der Maschen für Ärmel fort, wenn die Stillgelegten Zahl ungerade ist, für den Ärmel jedoch 6 Maschen (gerade Anzahl) aufgenommen werden müssen. Da geht das Muster nicht auf?
10.06.2022 - 14:05DROPS Design answered:
Liebe Christine, das Muster stricken Sie genau so wie zuvor, die Maschenanzahl ist jezt ungerade und muss zwischen den Blenden-Maschen passen. Viel Spaß beim stricken!

How can a 1x1 rib be worked correctly over an odd number of stitches in the sleeves? And to maintain the same pattern as the body of the sweater, now that I am knitting in the round, shouldn’t every other round be to knit every stitch? That is not mentioned in the pattern.
12.05.2022 - 16:16DROPS Design answered:
Dear Amy, do you mean when working sleeve separately? adjust the beg/end of the round so that all sts in pattern are worked as before; when working A.2 /A.3 in the round repeat on row 1 (P1, K1) and on row 2 knit all stitches. The pattern may just not fit mid under sleeve. Happy knitting!

När jag ökar för raglan och får fler maskor ska jag tex vid andra ökningen börja med en rät maska vid A2 istället för en avig?
03.05.2022 - 14:12DROPS Design answered:
Hej Eva-Marie, hvis du tænker på det mønster som du allerede danner, så skal den nye maske være en fortsættelse til det (og altså IKKE passe som mønster i/mod raglan overgangen) :)

Bonjour, Où puis-je trouver les explications des points fantaisies A1, A2, A3 ? Je ne les trouves pas dans le modèle. Merci d'avance Marianne

Bonjour Marianne, vous trouverez les diagrammes A.1 (= 1 m)=, A.2 (= 2 m) et A.3 (= 1 m) à côté du schéma des mesures, sous la manche; la légende des symboles se trouve juste au-dessus du schéma. Bon tricot!
