450-500-550-600-650-700 g colour 01, off white
KNITTING TENSION:
10 stitches in width and 14 rows vertically in stocking stitch and 2 strands = 10 x 10 cm.
NEEDLES:
DROPS DOUBLE POINTED NEEDLES SIZE 9 mm
DROPS CIRCULAR NEEDLE SIZE 9 mm : Length 40 and 60 or 80 cm for stocking stitch.
DROPS DOUBLE POINTED NEEDLES SIZE 7 mm for rib
DROPS CIRCULAR NEEDLE SIZE 7 mm : Length 80 cm for rib.
Needle size is only a suggestion! If you have too many stitches on 10 cm switch to a larger needle size. If you have too few stitches on 10 cm switch to a smaller needle size.

EXPLANATION FOR THE PATTERN:
——————————————————-
INCREASE/DECREASE TIP (evenly spaced):
To calculate how to increase/decrease evenly , use the total number of round on round (e.g. 60 stitches) , and divide stitches by number of increases/decreases to be done (e.g. 4) = 15. In this example increase by making 1 yarn over after every 15th stitch. On next round work yarn overs twisted to avoid holes.
To decrease in this example knit every 14th and 15th stitch together.
RAGLAN:
Increase 1 stitch on each side of every marker as follows: Work until stitch with marker, make 1 yarn over, work 1 stitch in stocking stitch (marker is in this stitch), make 1 yarn over. On next round knit yarn overs twisted to avoid holes.
DECREASE TIP (applies to sleeve):
Work until 2 stitches before stitch with marker, slip 1 stitch, knit 1 and pass slipped stitch over, knit 1 (stitch with marker), knit 2 together.

START THE PIECE HERE:
——————————————————-
JUMPER – SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE:
Neck edge and yoke are worked in the round, top down. When piece is divided for body and sleeves, work body in the round on circular needle. Work sleeves in the round on a short circular needle, switch to double pointed needles when needed. Work the entire piece in 2 strands.
NECK EDGE:
Cast on 60-60-60-64-64-64 stitches with 2 strands Air on circular needle size 7 mm. Work rib in the round (knit 1/purl 1) until piece measures approx. 10 cm in all sizes.
Switch to circular needle size 9 mm. Knit 1 round while increasing 4 stitches evenly in all sizes – read INCREASE/DECREASE TIP in explanation above = 64-64-64-68-68-68 stitches. Knit 1 round.
YOKE:
Insert 1 marker thread at beginning of this round = mid back. Leave marker thread in piece here, to measure from here. Insert 4 marker in piece without working – insert markers in stitch from beginning of round as follows: Insert 1st marker in the 12th-12th-12th-13th-13th-13th stitch, insert 2nd marker in the 22nd-22nd-22nd-23rd-23rd-23rd stitch, insert 3rd marker in the 44th-44th-44th-47th-47th-47th stitch, and insert 4th marker in the 54th-54th-54th-57th-57th-57th stitch. There are now 9 stitches on each sleeve, and 21-21-21-23-23-23 stitches on front and back piece.
Work stocking stitch in the round and increase for RAGLAN – read explanation above – on each side of every marker every other round 6-8-11-14-19-23 times in total, and then increase on every 4th round 5-5-4-3-1-0 times in total = 152-168-184-204-228-252 stitches.
REMEMBER THE KNITTING TENSION!
Work until piece measures 19-20-21-22-23-24 cm from marker thread.
Now divide the piece for sleeves and body as follows: Work the first 22-24-26-29-32-35 stitches (= half back piece), slip the next 33-37-41-45-51-57 stitches on a stitch holder (= sleeve), cast on 7 new stitches on the under side of sleeve, work the next 43-47-51-57-63-69 stitches (= front piece), slip the next 33-37-41-45-51-57 stitches on a stitch holder (= sleeve), cast on 7 new stitches on under side under sleeve, work the remaining 21-23-25-28-31-34 stitches (= half back piece). Then finish sleeves and body separately.
BODY:
= 100-108-116-128-140-152 stitches. Now measure piece from here!
Work in stocking stitch in the round until piece measures approx. 24-25-26-27-28-29 cm from division. Switch to circular needle size 7 mm. Work rib in the round (knit 1/purl 1) until rib measures approx. 4 cm in all sizes. Jumper measures approx. 52-54-56-58-60-62 cm from shoulder and down. Loosely cast off.
SLEEVES:
Slip the 33-37-41-45-51-57 stitches from stitch holder in one side back on a circular needle size 9 mm. Pick up 1 stitch in each of the 7 stitches cast on on the under side of sleeve = 40-44-48-52-58-64 stitches. Insert 1 marker in the middle of the new stitches under the sleeve. Work in stocking stitch in the round. When sleeve measures 4 cm, begin decrease on the under side of sleeve – read DECREASE TIP in explanation above! Repeat decrease every 6½-6-5-4-4-3 cm 4-4-4-5-7-9 times in total = 32-36-40-42-44-46 stitches. Work until sleeve measures approx. 39 cm in all sizes. Switch to double pointed needles size 7 mm, work 1 round in stocking stitch while decreasing 6-8-12-12-12-14 stitches evenly = 26-28-28-30-32-32 stitches.
Work rib (knit 1/purl 1) in the round until rib measures approx. 6 cm. Loosely cast off stitches with knit over knit and purl over purl. Work the other sleeve the same way.
