---------------------------------------------------------- EXPLANATION FOR THE PATTERN: ---------------------------------------------------------- GARTER STITCH (worked in the round): 1 ridge vertically = 2 rounds, i.e. knit 1 round and purl 1 round. GARTER STITCH (back and forth): Knit all rows. 1 ridge vertically = knit 2 rows. PATTERN: See diagrams A.1 to A.3. Diagrams show all rows in pattern seen from the right side. DECREASE TIP-1 (evenly): To calculate how to decrease evenly, use the total number of stitches on row (e.g. 119 stitches), minus edge stitches (e.g. 12 stitches) , and divide the remaining 107 stitches by number of increases/decreases to be done (e.g. 20) = 5.3. If decreasing knit in this example approx. every 4th and 5th stitch and every 5th and 6th stitch together. DECREASE TIP-2 (applies to sides of body): Decrease 1 stitch on each side of stitches in garter stitch as follows: Work until 2 stitches remain before stitches in garter stitch, knit 2 together, work 12 stitches in garter stitch, slip 1 stitch knitwise, knit 1, pass slipped stitch over stitch worked. DECREASE TIP-3: All decreases are done from the right side! Decrease at beginning of row as follows: Decrease 1 stitch after 1 edge stitch in garter stitch and 3 knit stitches as follows: Slip 1 stitch knitwise, knit 1, pass slipped stitch over stitch worked (= 1 stitch decreased). Decrease at end of row as follows: Decrease 1 stitch before 3 knit stitches and 1 edge stitch in garter stitch as follows: Work until 6 stitches remain on needle, knit 2 together, knit 3, work 1 edge stitch in garter stitch (= 1 stitch decreased). BIND-OFF TIP: To avoid a tight bind-off edge when binding off, you may use a larger needle. If this still is too tight make 1 yarn over after approx. every 4th stitch while binding off (bind off yarn overs as stitches). ---------------------------------------------------------- START THE PIECE HERE: ---------------------------------------------------------- VEST – SHORT SUMMARY OF PIECE: Work back piece and front piece back and forth on circular needle upwards until vent is done, then slip the 2 part on to same circular needle and work in the round on circular needle up to armhole. Divide piece for front piece and back piece, and finish each part separately back and forth. Work sleeve edges and neck edge in the round on circular needle. BACK PIECE: Cast on 119-129-139-151-165-179 stitches on circular needle size 3.5 MM = US 4 with DROPS Karisma. Work rib as follows: 6 stitches in GARTER STITCH – read explanation above, A.1 until 7 stitches remain, work first stitch in A.1, 6 stitches in garter stitch. Continue back and forth like this until piece measures 9 cm = 3½". Work next row as follows from right side: Work garter stitch as before over the first 6 stitches, knit the next 107-117-127-139-153-167 stitches and decrease at the same time 20-22-24-26-28-30 stitches evenly – read DECREASE TIP-1, work in garter stitch as before over the last 6 stitches = 99-107-115-125-137-149 stitches. Switch to circular needle size 4.5 MM = US 7. Now work in stockinette stitch with 6 stitches in garter stitch in each side. REMEMBER THE KNITTING GAUGE! When piece measures 18 cm = 7" – adjust so that next row is worked from right side, put piece aside. Work front piece. FRONT PIECE: Work as on back piece. BODY: Slip stitches on front piece and back front piece on to same circular needle size = 198-214-230-250-274-298 stitches. Begin round before 12 stitches in garter stitch in one side. Continue in stockinette stitch and 12 stitches in GARTER STITCH in each side - read explanation above. When piece measures 20 cm = 8", decrease 1 stitch on each side of the 12 stitches in garter stitch - read DECREASE TIP-2. Repeat decrease when piece measures 28-29-30-31-32-33 cm = 11"-11⅜"-11¾"-12¼"-12½"-13" = 190-206-222-242-266-290 stitches. When piece measures 33-34-35-36-37-38 cm = 13"-13⅜"-13¾"-14¼"-14½"-15", bind off 12-12-14-16-18-20 stitches in each side for armholes (i.e. bind off the 12 stitches in garter stitch and 0-0-1-2-3-4 stitches on each side of garter stitches). Then finish front and back piece separately. BACK PIECE: = 83-91-97-105-115-125 stitches. Continue back and forth in stockinette stitch with 1 edge stitch in garter stitch in each side. At the same time on next row from right side begin decrease for armhole - read DECREASE TIP-3. Decrease like this every other row 1-1-3-7-12-18 times, then every 4th row 7-9-8-6-4-1 times (= 8-10-11-13-16-19 stitches decreased for armhole in each side) = 67-71-75-79-83-87 stitches. Continue to work until piece measures 61-63-65-67-69-71 cm = 24"-24¾"-25½"-26⅜"-27⅛"-28". Now bind off the middle 33-33-35-35-37-37 stitches for neck and finish each shoulder separately. Then on next row from the neck, decrease 1 stitch = 16-18-19-21-22-24 stitches remain on shoulder. When piece measures 63-65-67-69-71-73 cm = 24¾"-25½"-26⅜"-27⅛"-28"-28¾", bind off. Work the other shoulder the same way. FRONT PIECE: = 83-91-97-105-115-125 stitches. Continue back and forth in stockinette stitch with 1 edge stitch in garter stitch in each side. At the same time decrease for armholes the same way as on back piece. When piece measures 41-42-43-44-45-46 cm = 16⅛"-16½"-17"-17¼"-17¾"-18", slip the middle stitch on front piece on a stitch holder (= middle stitch), and slip all stitches after this middle stitch on a stitch holder (= right front piece). Stitches before middle stitch are still on the needle (= left front piece). Left front piece: Continue back and forth with stockinette stitch, 1 edge stitch in garter stitch in each side and decrease for armholes as before, at the same time on next row from right side begin decrease for V-neck: Work until 6 stitches remain towards the neck, knit 2 together (= 1 stitch decreased), knit 3, 1 edge stitch in garter stitch. Decrease like this every other row 11-11-11-11-11-11 times, then every 4th row 6-6-7-7-8-8 times (= 17-17-18-18-19-19 stitches decreased for V-neck) = 16-18-19-21-22-24 stitches remain for shoulder. Continue to work until piece measures approx. 63-65-67-69-71-73 cm = 24¾"-25½"-26⅜"-27⅛"-28"-28¾". Bind off. Right front piece: Continue back and forth with stockinette stitch, 1 edge stitch in garter stitch in each side and decrease for armholes as before, at the same time on next row from right side begin decrease for V-neck: Work 1 edge stitch in garter stitch, knit 3, slip 1 stitch knitwise, knit 1, pass slipped stitch over (= 1 stitch decreased), work the rest of row. Decrease like this every other row 11-11-11-11-11-11 times, then every 4th row 6-6-7-7-8-8 times (= 17-17-18-18-19-19 stitches decreased for neck) = 16-18-19-21-22-24 stitches remain for shoulder. Continue to work until piece measures approx. 63-65-67-69-71-73 cm = 24¾"-25½"-26⅜"-27⅛"-28"-28¾". Bind off. ASSEMBLY: Sew shoulder seams with grafting/kitchener stitches inside bind-off edges. SLEEVE EDGES: Begin from right side where piece was divided for armhole. Use circular needle size 3.5 MM = US 4 and pick up approx. 132 to 154 stitches around the entire armhole (number of stitches must be divisible by 2). Work rib according to diagram A.1 in the round for 4½-5 cm = 1⅝"-2". Bind off stitches with knit over knit and purl over purl. Repeat around the other armhole. NECK EDGE: Begin mid on top of one shoulder with circular needle size 3.5 MM = US 4 and DROPS Karisma and pick up 158 to 188 stitches inside 1 edge stitch in garter stitch around the entire neck edge including middle stitch on stitch holder mid front (number of stitches must be divisible by 2). Work rib according to pattern A.2 in the round - adjust so that pattern is worked according to A.3 over the 14 stitches mid front (stitch with star in A.3 should be middle stitch mid front), and so that pattern fits knit 1 twisted / purl 1 in the round on first round worked. Continue in the round and decrease as shown in A.3 until rib measures 4 cm = 1½". Bind off with knit over knit and purl over purl, at the same time decrease as before over the middle 3 stitches mid front. |

Comment faire pour tricoter ce pull avec 2 aiguilles
25.10.2021 - 12:51DROPS Design answered:
Bonjour Mme Hulin. Si vous préférez tricoter en allers et retours au lieu d'en rond, vous pouvez naturellement ajuster les explications pour tricoter les pièces séparément et les assembler ensuite à la fin. Divisez le nombre de mailles par 2, ajoutez 1 maille lisière de chaque côté (pour les coutures) et tricotez le devant et le dos séparément. Regardez aussi la lecon DROPS ICI. Bon tricot!
