---------------------------------------------------------- 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. DECREASE TIP (applies to armholes on singlet): Decrease inside 2 stitches in garter stitch. All decreases are done from the right side! DECREASE AS FOLLOWS AFTER 2 STITCHES IN GARTER STITCH: Slip 1 stitch knitwise, knit 1, pass slipped stitch over stitch worked. DECREASE AS FOLLOWS BEFORE 2 STITCHES IN GARTER STITCH: Work until 2 stitches remain before the 2 stitches in garter stitch, knit 2 together and work 2 stitches in garter stitch. INCREASE TIP (applies to shorts): BEFORE MARKER THREAD: The new stitch is twisted towards the right. Use left needle to pick up yarn between 2 stitches from round below, pick up yarn from the back and knit stitch in front loop of stitch. AFTER MARKER THREAD: The new stitch is twisted towards the left. Use left needle to pick up yarn between 2 stitches from round below, pick up yarn from the front and knit stitch in back loop of stitch. ---------------------------------------------------------- START THE PIECE HERE: ---------------------------------------------------------- SINGLET - SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE: Work body in the round on circular needle, from the bottom and up to armholes. Then finish front piece and back piece back and forth on circular needle separately until finished measurements. BODY: Cast on 144-160-176-192-208-224 stitches on circular needle size 4 MM = US 6 with DROPS Big Merino. Knit 1 round. Then work rib as follows: * Purl 1, knit 1 *, repeat from *-* the entire round. When rib measures 4 cm = 1½", switch to circular needle size 4.5 MM = US 7. Insert 1 marker thread at beginning of round and 1 marker thread after 72-80-88-96-104-112 stitches. Marker threads mark the sides of body – move the marker threads upwards when working. Now work rib as follows: Purl 1, * knit 2, purl 2 *, work from *-* until 3 stitches remain on round, knit 2, and finish with purl 1. Continue rib like this. REMEMBER THE KNITTING GAUGE! When piece measures 16-17-18-19-20-21 cm = 6¼"-6¾"-7"-7½"-8"-8¼", work 2 ridges in GARTER STITCH – read explanation above, over the middle 10-10-10-18-18-18 stitches in each side (marker threads is in the middle of these 10-10-10-18-18-18 stitches – work the other stitches on row in rib as before). On first round after the 2 ridges, bind off for armholes as follows: Bind off 3-3-3-7-7-7 stitches, work 2 stitches in garter stitch, 62-70-78-78-86-94 stitches in rib as before (begin and end with knit 2), 2 stitches in garter stitch, bind off 6-6-6-14-14-14 stitches (marker thread is in the middle of these 6-6-6-14-14-14 stitches), work 2 stitches in garter stitch, 62-70-78-78-86-94 stitches in rib (begin and end with knit 2), 2 stitches in garter stitch, bind off the last 3-3-3-7-7-7 stitches. Cut the yarn. Finish front and back piece separately. BACK PIECE: = 66-74-82-82-90-98 stitches. Begin from wrong side, and continue rib back and forth with 2 stitches in garter stitch in each side. AT THE SAME TIME on next row from right side, decrease 1 stitch in each side for armholes - read DECREASE TIP. Decrease for armholes like this on every other row 0-0-4-0-3-2 times in total, and then on every 4th row 4-4-4-4-5-6 times in total = 58-66-66-74-74-82 stitches. Continue rib with 2 stitches in garter stitch in each side. When piece measures 27-29-30-32-33-35 cm = 10⅝"-11⅜"-11¾"-12½"-13"-13¾", bind off for neck as follows: Work the first 10-10-14-14-18-18 stitches as before, and then slip the stitches on a thread for strap, bind off 38-46-38-46-38-46 stitches for neck, and work as before over the last 10-10-14-14-18-18 stitches. Then work straps as explained below. STRAP: = 10-10-14-14-18-18 stitches. Work rib back and forth as before with 2 stitches in garter stitch in each side until piece measures 34-36-38-40-42-44 cm = 13⅜"-14¼"-15"-15¾"-16½"-17¼" from cast-on edge (strap measures approx. 7-7-8-8-9-9 cm = 2¾"-2¾"-3⅛"-3⅛"-3½"-3½"). Bind off. Slip stitches from thread back on circular needle size 4.5 MM = US 7 , and work strap the same way as first strap. FRONT PIECE: = 66-74-82-82-90-98 stitches. Work the same way as back piece, bind off for neck and work straps the same way as on back piece. ASSEMBLY: Sew straps together inside bind-off edge at the top of each shoulder. ---------------------------------------------------------- SHORTS - SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE: Worked in the round on circular needle from mid back, top down. To make the shorts higher mid back work an elevation. Then continue piece in the round before dividing for legs. Work each leg in the round on circular needle, top down. Twine a string at the end for edge with eyelet holes in the waist. EDGE: Cast on 128-144-152-168-192-208 stitches on circular needle size 4 MM = US 6 with DROPS Big Merino. Knit 1 round. Then work rib as follows: Knit 1, * purl 2, knit 2 *, work from *-* until 3 stitches remain on round, purl 2, and finish with knit 1. When rib measures 3 cm = 1⅛", work a round with eyelet holes for tie as follows: Knit 1, * make 1 yarn over, purl 2 together, knit 2 *, work from *-* until 3 stitches remain on round, make 1 yarn over, purl 2 together, and finish with knit 1. Continue rib = knit 2/purl 2 until edge measures 6 cm = 2⅜" from cast-on edge. Knit 1 round while increasing 2-2-4-4-6-6 stitches evenly = 130-146-156-172-198-214 stitches. Then work shorts as explained below. SHORTS: Switch to circular needle size 5 MM = US 8. Insert 1 marker at beginning of round = mid back. Work elevation as follows: Begin from right side at the marker, knit 8-9-10-11-12-13, turn piece, tighten yarn, purl 16-18-20-22-24-26, turn piece, tighten yarn, knit 24-27-30-33-36-39, turn piece, tighten yarn, purl 32-36-40-44-48-52. Continue back and forth like this by working 8-9-10-11-12-13 stitches more on every turn until 96-108-120-132-144-156 stitches in total have been worked back and forth (do not work over the middle 34-38-36-40-54-58 stitches mid front). When elevation is done, knit until mid back. Shorts now measures approx. 5 cm = 2" vertically mid back. Insert 6 marker threads in piece as explained below. Use marker threads when increasing and insert every marker thread between 2 stitches. Replace the marker mid back with a marker thread, count 24-27-29-32-38-41 stitches, insert 1 marker thread before next stitch, count 17-19-20-22-23-25 stitches (in the side on shorts), insert 1 marker thread before next stitch, count 24-27-29-32-38-41 stitches, insert 1 marker thread before next stitch (mid front), count 24-27-29-32-38-41 stitches, insert 1 marker thread before next stitch, count 17-19-20-22-23-25 stitches (in the side on shorts), insert 1 marker thread before next stitch, 24-27-29-32-38-41 stitches remain on round after last marker thread. Work in stockinette stitch in the round. When piece measures 2-3-3-3-3-4 cm = ¾"-1⅛"-1⅛"-1⅛"-1⅛"-1½" measured after rib mid front, increase 1 stitch BEFORE every marker thread - read INCREASE TIP (= 6 stitches increased) - NOTE: To avoid moving the marker thread mid back do the increase before this marker thread at the end of round. When piece measures 5-6-6-6-6-7 cm = 2"-2⅜"-2⅜"-2⅜"-2⅜"-2¾" measured after rib mid front, increase 1 stitch AFTER every marker thread- remember INCREASE TIP (= 6 stitches increased). Increase alternately before and after the 6 marker threads every 3 cm = 1⅛" 6 times in total = 166-182-192-208-234-250 stitches (remember that the increase before marker thread mid back is done at the end of round). When piece measures 18-19-20-21-22-23 cm = 7"-7½"-8"-8¼"-8¾"-9" measured after rib mid front, remove the marker threads. Now insert 1 marker in first stitch on round, and 1 marker in the 84th-92nd-97th-105th-118th-126th stitch on round (mid back and mid front). On next round increase both BEFORE and AFTER stitches with markers - remember INCREASE TIP (= 4 stitches increased). Increase like this on EVERY round 6 times in total = 190-206-216-232-258-274 stitches. After last increase piece measures approx. 27-28-29-30-31-32 cm = 10⅝"-11"-11⅜"-11¾"-12¼"-12½" from cast-on edge mid front. Now divide the piece at both markers and finish each leg separately. Slip the first 95-103-108-116-129-137 stitches on short circular needle size 5 MM = US 8 and leave the remaining 95-103-108-116-129-137 stitches on circular needle size 5 MM = US 8. Cut the yarn. LEG: = 95-103-108-116-129-137 stitches. Cast on 3-3-4-4-5-5 stitches at the beginning of row, work in stockinette stitch over the 95-103-108-116-129-137 stitches, and cast on 3-3-4-4-5-5 stitches at the end of row = 101-109-116-124-139-147 stitches. Slip the piece together, and work in stockinette stitch in the round until piece measures 4-5-6-7-8-9 cm = 1½"-2"-2⅜"-2¾"-3⅛"-3½", or desired length. Knit 1 round while increasing 31-35-36-36-41-45 stitches evenly = 132-144-152-160-180-192 stitches. Switch to a short circular needle size 4 MM = US 6. Work rib in the round = knit 2/purl 2 for 4 cm = 1½". Loosely bind off. Leg measures approx. 8-9-10- 11-12- 13 Slip stitches from the other leg on a short circular needle size 5 MM = US 8 and work the same way as first leg. ASSEMBLY: Sew opening between legs, i.e. sew seam along mid front to mid back in the 6-6-8-8-10-10 stitches cast on in each side on each leg. TWINED STRING: Cut 3 strands Big Merino of 3½-3½-4½-4½-5½-5½ metres each, twine the strands together until they resist, fold the string double so that it twines again. Make a knot at each end. Begin mid front on shorts and thread tie up and down through eyelet row on edge. |

How many yards of yarn are required for the shorts? I want to use a different yarn so the weight will be different.
11.02.2024 - 00:48DROPS Design answered:
Dear Sarah, you can calculate the yards of yarn from the yardage of the yarn used. 50g of Big Merino = 82 yards. From here, you can obtain how many yards of yarn you will need for your size. Happy knitting!

Vorrei fare i pantaloni, ma non ho capito una cosa: le misure del campione si riferiscono al lavoro con i ferri 5mm? Io ho ottenuto il campione con i 4,5 quindi devo fare le coste con quelli del 3,5? grazie mille in anticipo

Buonasera Niccolò, è corretto, se ha raggiunto il campione con i ferri n° 4,5 mm farà le coste con i ferri n° 3,5 mm. Buon lavoro!

Hi, I’m having trouble with the shorts pattern: It says to increase before every marker thread until the piece measures 6cm from the rib edge. I’ve increased every row, for 3 cm and now I have more stitches in the needle than it’s mentioned in the pattern. Am I supposed to only increase every 3cm rather than increase throughout until the piece has the required measurement?
08.11.2023 - 22:24DROPS Design answered:
Dear Djoyce, you first increase 1 stitch before each marker thread (= 6 sts increased), then next time (after 3 cm) you will increase 1 stitch after each marker thread (= 6 sts increased). Repeat these increases a total of 6 times (4 more times) = you will have increased 6 sts a total of 6 times on every 3rd cm = 36 sts. Happy knitting!

Hei! Jeg bare lurte på hvorfor man må ha både rundpinne 4 og 4,5 for toppen? Er det mulig å strikke med bare en av størrelsene?
13.08.2023 - 00:39DROPS Design answered:
Hei Malin, Man legger opp og strikker første delen av vrangbord med pinnestørrelse 4, slik at den sitter tettere til kroppen. Også bytter man til størrelse 4.5 for resten av toppen. God fornøyelse!

I was wondering how much negative ease you recommend for this pattern? Also is the measurements of the garment taken not stretched, stretched, or roughly stretched.

Hi Ella, To get the shape shown in the photograph, use the body measurements given in the measurements chart to work the correct size. Happy knitting!

Dzień dobry. Piszę w sprawie rozmiarów drutów. Bo w opisie potrzebnych drutów są rozmiary 4mm i 5mm. A w opisie wykonania topu jest napisane, że po przerobieniu ściągacza, 1 oczko prawe 1 oczko lewe na drutach 4mm, wziąść druty o rozmiarze 4,5. Bardzo proszę o wyjaśnienie które druty będą odpowiednie. Pozdrawiam.

Hola! No termino de entender: DECREASE AS FOLLOWS AFTER 2 STITCHES IN GARTER STITCH: Slip 1 stitch knitwise, knit 1, pass slipped stitch over stitch worked. Debo hacer 2 garter stich, luego pasar el últmo punto de la vuelta y no se con q lo 'decresco'. O debo :1 en garter stich, paso uno (slip) y el último punto de la vuelta en knit i lo utilizo para 'decrecer' el penúltimo punto? Espero haberlo explicado bien!

Hola Alba, puedes ver aquí la versión en español del patrón: https://www.garnstudio.com/pattern.php?id=10803&cid=23 DISMINUIR DE LA MANERA SIGUIENTE DESPUÉS DE 2 PUNTOS EN PUNTO MUSGO: Deslizar 1 punto como de derecho, tejer 1 derecho, pasar el punto deslizado por encima del punto tejido. Primero trabajas los 2 puntos en punto musgo (se indicará en el patrón), deslizas el siguiente punto, trabajas 1 derecho y pasas el punto deslizado sobre el punto trabajado. Por lo tanto, cómo has deslizado y pasado por encima 1 punto, has disminuido 1 punto.
