------------------------------------------------------- EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN: ------------------------------------------------------- RIDGE/GARTER STITCH (worked back and forth): Knit all rows. 1 ridge in height = Knit 2 rows. INCREASE TIP (for V-neck): Make 1 yarn over between 2 stitches. On the next row, work the yarn over twisted to avoid a hole. DECREASE TIP (for sides of body): Decrease 1 stitch on each side of the stitch with the marker thread as follows: Work until there are 3 stitches left before the stitch with the marker thread, knit 2 together, knit 2, slip 1 stitch as if to knit, knit 1 and pass the slipped stitch over the knitted stitch. BUTTONHOLES: Work buttonholes from the right side and on the right band. The bottom buttonhole is worked approx. 2 cm = ¾" from the bottom edge, the top buttonhole approx.1 cm = ⅜" from the beginning of the v-neck (approx. 32-33-34-35-36-37 cm = 12½"-13"-13⅜"-13¾"-14¼"-14½" measured from the bottom of the vest). Work a total of 6 buttonholes with approx. 6-6-6½-6½-7-7 cm = 2⅜"-2⅜"-2½"-2½"-2¾"-2¾" between each one. Position them in the purled sections (seen from the right side). 1 buttonhole = purl 2 together, 1 yarn over. On the next row (wrong side) knit the yarn to leave a hole. BINDING-OFF TIP: To avoid the bind-off edge being tight you can bind off with a larger size needle. If the edge is still tight, make 1 yarn over after approx. each 4th stitch at the same time as binding off; the yarn overs are bind off as normal stitches. ------------------------------------------------------- START THE PIECE HERE: ------------------------------------------------------- VEST – SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE: The vest is worked top down. Each shoulder is worked separately, back and forth, and stitches are increased/cast on for the V-neck and armholes. Then all pieces are joined together and the body finished working back and forth. Stiches are picked up for the neck, sleeve edges and bands, which are worked in rib to finish. FRONT PIECES: Right front piece: Cast on 20-21-21-22-22-23 stitches (including 1 edge stitch on each side) using circular needle size 4 mm = US 6 and Karisma. Work 1 edge stitch in GARTER STITCH – read description above, work stockinette stitch until there is 1 stitch left on the row and then 1 edge stitch in garter stitch. Continue like this back and forth. When the piece measures 4-5-5-6-6-7 cm = 1½"-2"-2"-2⅜"-2⅜"-2¾", start to increase for the V-neck and when the piece measures 18-18-18-17-17-16 cm = 7"-7"-7"-6¾"-6¾"-6¼", increase for the armholes, read description below: V-neck: Increase 1 stitch inside the last 2 stitches on the next row from the right side – read INCREASE TIP. Increase like this alternately every 2nd and 4th row a total of 19-19-20-20-21-21 times (increases for the V-neck are not finished when the armhole is finished, but are continued on the body). REMEMBER THE KNITTING GAUGE! Armhole: Increase 1 stitch inside the first 2 stitches on every row from the right side 2-1-1-3-4-4 times, then cast on new stitches at the end of every row from the wrong side as follows: Cast on 2 stitches 0-2-2-3-3-4 times and 3 stitches 0-0-1-1-2-3 times (= a total of 2-5-8-12-16-21 stitches increased). Lay the piece to one side and work the left front piece. Left front piece: Cast on 20-21-21-22-22-23 stitches (including 1 edge stitch on each side) using circular needle size 4 mm = US 6 and Karisma. Work 1 edge stitch in garter stitch, stockinette stitch until there is 1 stitch left on the row and then 1 edge stitch in garter stitch. Continue like this back and forth. When the piece measures 4-5-5-6-6-7 cm = 1½"-2"-2"-2⅜"-2⅜"-2¾", start to increase for the V-neck and when the piece measures 18-18-18-17-17-16 cm = 7"-7"-7"-6¾"-6¾"-6¼", increase for the armholes, read description below: V-neck: Increase 1 stitch inside the first 2 stitches on the next row from the right side – remember INCREASE TIP. Increase like this alternately every 2nd and 4th row a total of 19-19-20-20-21-21 times. Armhole: Increase 1 stitch inside the last 2 stitches on each row from the right side 2-1-1-3-4-4 times, then cast on new stitches at the end of every row from the right side as follows: Cast on 2 stitches 0-2-2-3-3-4 times and 3 stitches 0-0-1-1-2-3 times (= a total of 2-5-8-12-16-21 stitches increased). Lay the piece to one side and work the back piece. BACK PIECE: Each shoulder is worked separately before being joined together. Right shoulder: Cast on 20-21-21-22-22-23 stitches (including 1 edge stitch on each side) using circular needle size 4 mm = US 6 and Karisma. Work 1 edge stitch in garter stitch, stockinette stitch until there is 1 stitch left on the row and then 1 edge stitch in garter stitch. Continue like this back and forth. When the piece measures 4 cm = 1½" increase 1 stitch inside the first 2 stitches on the next row from the right side = 21-22-22-23-23-24 stitches. Work 1 row back from the wrong side. Lay the piece to one side and work the left shoulder. Left shoulder: Cast on 20-21-21-22-22-23 stitches (including 1 edge stitch on each side) using circular needle size 4 mm = US 6 and Karisma. Work 1 edge stitch in garter stitch, stockinette stitch until there is 1 stitch left on the row and then 1 edge stitch in garter stitch. Continue like this back and forth. When the piece measures 4 cm = 1½" increase 1 stitch inside the last 2 stitches on the next row from the right side = 21-22-22-23-23-24 stitches. Work 1 row back from the wrong side. Now work the 2 shoulders together as follows: Work the 21-22-22-23-23-24 stitches from the left shoulder as before, cast on 36-36-38-38-40-40 stitches (= neck) work the 21-22-22-23-23-24 stitches from the right shoulder as before = 78-80-82-84-86-88 stitches. Work stockinette stitch back and forth with 1 stitch in garter stitch on each side. When the piece measures 18-18-18-17-17-16 cm = 7"-7"-7"-6¾"-6¾"-6¼", increase/cast on stitches on each side of the piece for the armholes, in the same way as on the front pieces (= a total of 2-5-8-12-16-21 stitches increased for each armhole) = 82-90-98-108-118-130 stitches. When all the increases are finished, work the body. THE PIECE IS NOW MEASURED FROM HERE! BODY: Now join all the pieces together from the right side as follows: Starting with the left front piece, work 1 edge stitch in garter stitch and stockinette stitch as before, then cast on 11-11-13-13-15-15 new stitches (= in side under sleeve), stockinette stitch over the 82-90-98-108-118-130 stitches on the back piece, cast on 11-11-13-13-15-15 new stitches (= in side under sleeve), stockinette stitch over the right front piece until there is 1 stitch left and finish with 1 edge stitch in garter stitch. The number of stitches on the needle is dependent on how many increases still remain for the V-neck. Insert 1 marker in the middle stitch of the 11-11-13-13-15-15 new stitches in each side. Allow the markers to follow your work onwards; stitches will later be decreased on each side of both markers. When all the increases for the V-neck are finished there are = 186-202-222-242-266-290 stitches on the needle. When the piece measures 5 cm = 2", decrease on both sides of each marker – read DECREASE TIP (= 4 stitches decreased). Decrease like this every 9-9-10-10-10-11 cm = 3½"-3½"-4"-4"-4"-4⅜" a total of 4 times = 170-186-206-226-250-274 stitches. When the piece measures 34-35-36-37-38-39 cm = 13⅜"-13¾"-14¼"-14½"-15"-15¼" increase 26-26-30-34-38-42 stitches evenly spaced = 196-212-236-260-288-316 stitches. Change to circular needle size 3 mm = US 2,5 and work rib, starting from the right side (= knit 2 / purl 2) with 1 edge stitch in garter stitch on each side until the rib measures 4 cm = 1½". Bind off with knit over knit and purl over purl – read BINDING-OFF TIP. The vest measures approx.57-59-61-63-65-67 cm = 22½"-23¼"-24"-24¾"-25½"-26⅜" from the shoulder down. ASSEMBLY: Sew the shoulder seams with grafting stitches. ARMHOLE EDGE: Knit up 88-132 stitches inside the 1 edge stitch around the armhole with short circular needle size 3 mm = US 2,5 and Karisma; adjust so the number of stitches is divisible by 4. Work rib in the round (= knit 2 / purl 2) for 2 cm = ¾". Bind off with knit over knit and purl over purl – remember BINDING-OFF TIP! Work the other sleeve edge in the same way. RIGHT BAND AND NECK: Starting from the right side at the bottom of the right front piece, knit up 144-172 stitches with short circular needle size 3 mm = US 2,5 and Karisma, inside the 1 edge stitch, and as far as mid-back of the neck. Adjust so the number of stitches is divisible by 4. Purl 1 row from the wrong side and increase using yarn overs just where the V-neck finishes (i.e. the point, approx. 33-34-35-36-37-38 cm = 13"-13⅜"-13¾"-14¼"-14½"-15" from the bind-off edge upwards), * purl 1, 1 yarn over *, work from *-* a total of 4 times (= 4 stitches increased). On the next row from the right side work as follows: 2 edge stitches in garter stitch, then rib (= knit 2 / purl 2) to end of row (yarn overs worked twisted to avoid holes). Make sure the band is neither too tight nor too loose for the length of the front piece; knit up more/less stitches if necessary. When the band measures 1 cm = ⅜" work the BUTTONHOLES – read description above. When the band/neck measures 2½ cm = ⅞", Bind off with knit over knit and purl over purl – remember BINDING-OFF TIP. LEFT BAND AND NECK: Starting mid-back of neck with circular needle size 3 mm = US 2,5 and Karisma and working from the right side, knit up the same number of stitches as on the right band and neck inside the 1 edge stitch down the left front piece. Purl 1 row from the wrong side and increase with yarn overs just where the V-neck finishes (i.e. the point, approx. 33-34-35-36-37-38 cm = 13"-13⅜"-13¾"-14¼"-14½"-15" from the bind-off edge upwards), * purl 1, 1 yarn over *, work from *-* a total of 4 times (= 4 stitches increased). On the next row from the right side work as follows: Work rib (= knit 2 / purl 2) until there are 2 stitches left and finish with 2 stitches in garter stitch (yarn overs worked twisted to avoid holes). When the band/neck measures 2½ cm = ⅞", Bind off with knit over knit and purl over purl – remember BINDING-OFF TIP. ASSEMBLY: Sew buttons onto the left band. |

Kan jeg strikke denne vest i Alpaca Bouclé? Og i så fald, hvordan omregner jeg garnforbrug?
24.03.2024 - 15:10DROPS Design answered:
Hej Mathilde, den vil blive lidt kompakt hvis du strikker den i Alpaca Boucle, men det gør måske ikke noget. Prøv at strikke en strikkeprøve og se om du synes om det :)

Spørgsmål til højre og Venstre forstykke: Der står at man skal tage ud på h.h.v. Hver 2. Og 4. Pind. Udtagningen skal ske fra retsiden ved at man slår en maske op. Det er forståeligt. Men jeg kan komme frem til mindst to måder at tage ud på h.h.v. Hver 2. Og hver 4. Pind så hvad er rigtigt ? Den ene måde hiver 7 pinde den anden giver 9 pinde. Hvad er korrekt? Tusind tak. Bh Anna

Hej Anna, når du tager ud fra retsiden på skiftevis hver 2. og hver 4 pind, så er det på pind 2-6-8-12-14-18 osv :)

Bij de top voor het minderen staat niet wat je met de gemarkeerde steek moet doen? Is het : breien tot 3 steken voor de gemarkeerde steek, 2rs, 1r; dan de gemarkeerde steek r; dan 1r, 1recht afhalen, 1r en dan de afgehaalde steek overhalen? Zo zit de mindering telkens op 1 steek van de gemarkeerde steek?
30.11.2022 - 09:50DROPS Design answered:
Dag Feas,
Het lijkt inderdaad niet helemaal te kloppen. Waarschijnlijk is het als volgt: Brei tot er 2 steken over zijn voor de steek met de markeerdraad, 2 recht samen, 1 recht, 1 steek recht afhalen, 1 recht en haal de afgehaalde steek over de gebreide steek.
