KNITTING TIPS: This design is written with button holes on right front edge, if you wish standard button holes for men, you can make the button holes on left front edge. GARTER ST (back and forth on needle): K all rows. NOTE: All edge sts are worked in garter st. PATTERN: See diagram A.1 to A.4, diagrams show all rows in 1 pattern repetition from RS. SHORT ROWS: RIGHT FRONT PIECE: Work 1 short row on row 3 of every pattern repetition vertically until finished measurements as follows: On 3rd row in pattern (= RS), work 26-26-26-26-30-30 band sts, turn and K back. Then work over all sts on row as before. LEFT FRONT PIECE: Work 1 short row on row 2 of every pattern repetition vertically until finished measurements as follows: On 2nd row in pattern (= WS), work 26-26-26-26-30-30 band sts, turn and K back. Then work over all sts on row as before. BUTTON HOLES: Bind off for 5 button holes from RS on right band. 1 BUTTON HOLE = bind off 7th and 8th st from mid front and cast on 2 new sts on next row over these sts. Bind off for button holes when piece measures: SIZE S: 14, 22, 30, 38 and 46 cm / 5½",8¾",11¾",15" and 18" SIZE M: 15, 23, 31, 39 and 47 cm / 6",9",12¼",15¼" and 18½" SIZE L: 16, 24, 32, 40 and 48 cm / 6¼",9½",12½",15¾" and 19" SIZE XL: 17, 25, 33, 41 and 49 cm / 6¾",9¾",13",16⅛" and 19¼" SIZE XXL: 18, 26, 34, 42 and 50 cm / 7",10¼",13⅜",16½" and 19¾" SIZE XXXL: 19, 27, 35, 43 and 51 cm / 7½",10⅝",13¾",17" and 20" INCREASE TIP: Inc 1 st by making 1 YO, on next row work YO twisted (i.e. work in back loop of st instead front) to avoid holes. ---------------------------------------------------------- BACK PIECE: Worked back and forth on needle. Cast on 136-156-168-180-196-204 sts (includes 1 edge st in each side) on circular needle size 3.5 mm / US 4 with Lima. Work rib as follows (1st row = RS): 1 edge st in GARTER ST - see explanation above, * K 2, P 2 *, repeat from *-*, finish with K 2 and 1 edge st in garter st. Continue to work like this until rib measures 5-5-5-6-6-6 cm / 2"-2"-2"-2⅜"-2⅜"-2⅜". On last row from WS, P while AT THE SAME TIME dec 20-22-24-26-26-26 sts evenly = 116-134-144-154-170-178 sts. Then switch to needle size 4 mm / US 6 and work next row from RS as follows: 1 edge st in garter st, 8-16-20-24-20-24 sts in A.4, work A.1 one time in size S - XL, work A.2 one time in size XXL and XXXL, 26-28-30-32-34-34 sts in A.4, then work A.1 one time in size S - XL, work A.3 one time in size XXL and XXXL, finish with 8-16-20-24-20-24 sts in A.4 and 1 edge st in garter st. REMEMBER THE GAUGE! Continue to work like this until piece measures 47-48-49-50-51-52 cm / 18½"-19"-19¼"-19¾"-20"-20½". Then bind off for armholes at the beg of every row in each side as follows: bind off 3 sts 0-1-1-2-2-2 times, 2 sts 1-1-1-2-2-2 times, 1 st 4-7-9-8-4-8 times = 104-110-116-118-142-142 sts. Continue with pattern as before until piece measures 66-68-70-72-74-76 cm / 26"-26¾"-27½"-28⅜"-29⅛"-30". Now bind off the middle 20-22-24-26-28-28 sts for neck and finish each part separately. Bind off 2 sts on next row from neck = 40-42-44-44-55-55 sts remain on shoulder. Continue with pattern as before.

Then bind off for armhole on every row from WS as follows: 3 sts 0-1-1-2-2-2 times, 2 sts 1-1-1-2-2-2 times, 1 st 4-7-9-8-4-8 times = 40-42-44-44-55-55 sts remain on shoulder. Continue with pattern as before. When piece measures 68-70-72-74-76-78 cm / 26¾"-27½"-28⅜"-29⅛"-30"-30¾", loosely bind off sts with K over K and P over P. LEFT FRONT PIECE: Cast on and work rib as on right front piece but reversed (i.e. * P 2, K 2 *, repeat from *-*) with 26-26-26-26-30-30 band sts in garter st. Continue to work until rib measures 5-5-5-6-6-6 cm / 2"-2"-2"-2⅜"-2⅜"-2⅜".

AT THE SAME TIME when piece measures 6 cm / 2⅜", inc 1 st inside 1 edge st in each side - Read INCREASE TIP above. NOTE: Work the inc sts in A.4. Repeat inc every 3½-3-2½-2½-2½-2½ cm / 1¼"-1⅛"-⅞"-⅞"-⅞"-⅞" a total of 14-15-16-17-16-17 times = 90-94-98-102-104-106 sts. Continue until piece measures 54-53-51-50-48-48 cm / 21¼"-21"-20"-19¾"-19"-19" (shorter measurements in the larger sizes because of longer sleeve cap and broader shoulder width), bind off at beg of every row in each side: 3 sts 1-1-1-2-2-2 times, 2 sts 1-1-2-2-2-2 times and 1 st 2-2-3-3-4-4 times. Then bind off 2 sts in each side until piece measures 61-61-60-60-59-59 cm / 24"-24"-23⅝"-23⅝"-23¼"-23¼", then bind off 3 sts 1 time in each side. When piece measures approx. 62-62-61-61-60-60 cm / 24⅜"-24⅜"-24"-24"-23⅝"-23⅝", loosely bind off sts with K over K and P over P. ASSEMBLY: Sew shoulder seams and sew in sleeves inside 1 edge st. Sew sleeve and side seams in one inside 1 edge st. Sew buttons on to left front piece, approx. 2½ cm / ⅞" from last K st in pattern. SHAWL COLLAR: Pick up sts from RS inside 1 edge st on circular needle size 3.5 mm / US 4. Start mid front at marker on right front piece as follows: Pick up approx. 60-70 sts up to shoulder, then 30-40 sts along the neck and 60-70 sts down along left front piece until marker = 150-180 sts. K 1 row from WS while AT THE SAME TIME adjusting no of sts to 144-148-156-164-172-180. Then work rib on next row from RS as follows: 1 sts in garter st, * K 2, P 2 *, repeat from *-* and finish with K 2 and 1 st in garter st. Continue like this until collar measures approx. 5-5-5-6-6-6 cm / 2"-2"-2"-2⅜"-2⅜"-2⅜". Now inc 1 st in each of the middle 14-14-14-16-16-16 P-sections seen from RS (= back of neck) = 158-162-170-180-188-196 sts. Continue until collar measures approx. 12-12-12-12-14-14 cm / 4¾"-4¾"-4¾"-4¾"-5½"-5½", then loosely bind off with K over K and P over P. Fasten collar with fine stitches at the bottom in each side towards band from WS (so that the seam is not visible from RS) – sew edge to edge to avoid a chunky seam. |

Jeg synes ribkanten i xl på ærmet bliver meget stor i omkreds. Er det meningen ? Bedste hilsner Marie
04.05.2024 - 00:38DROPS Design answered:
Hei Marie. Maskeantallet er riktig, men du kan fint justere maskeantallet om du ønsker en smalere vrangbord. Bare husk å ha riktig maskeantall når du skal fortsette etter vrangborden. mvh DROPS Design

Working on the Shawl Collar, the directions say to inc 1 st in each of the middle 14 P-sections seen from RS. What does this mean? What is the P-section? Thanks for your help!
03.05.2024 - 22:27DROPS Design answered:
Dear Gail, a P section is those sections you knit with purl stitches. In a K2, P2 ribbing the 2 purl stitches are the purl sections. From these the middle 14 should be increased. Happy Knitting!

Bonjour, J'aimerais connaître le diamètre des boutons nécessaires pour le modèle Rambling Man. Ceux indiqués, les numéros 542, n'apparaissent pas sur le site et je ne peux ainsi pas connaître le diamètre des boutons qui pourront être choisis à la place ! Merci pour votre aide :) Yveline Baudouin

Bonjour Mme Baudoin, les boutons réf. 542 faisaient 20 mm de diamètre. Bon tricot!

I want to knit this in size XXL, but I can not find diagram A4. What is the difference? How shal I do?

Hi Nina, Diagram A.4 is a small diagram, to the right of the size chart at the bottom of the pattern. Happy knitting!

I'm ready to start knitting Rambling Man and want to do a size XL. The pattern shows the finished back, side to side, as about 23 1/2 inches. However the knitting instructions has 154 stitches. Following the gauge, that should be about 29 inches? I'm confused!
21.02.2024 - 23:10DROPS Design answered:
Dear Mrs Guenther, you need more stitches to work cables than to work stocking stitch, this means if your tension 21 sts in stockinette = 4" and if you keep the correct tension, your 154 stitches with cables and pattern will measure 23 1/2 niches in width. Happy knitting!

I would like to make Rambling Man in a heavier yarn, maybe a C group. Can you recommend a wool yarn that is very soft, that comes in a sage green type color?
05.02.2024 - 16:28DROPS Design answered:
Dear Mrs Guenther, you would have another tension and should adjust the whole pattern to your own tension. You'll find our jackets in yarn group C here. Happy knitting!

Rambling Man has a number of short rows for the front. Is this necessary for a man's sweater? It seems like it would be more important for a woman's sweater.
05.02.2024 - 16:25DROPS Design answered:
Dear Mrs Guenther, the short rows are worked over the front band stitches, as you need more rows garter stitch than stocking stitch/pattern for the same height, you can compensate working short rows every time you will work the row 3 of the diagram (not every 3rd row) in height. Happy knitting!

I am knitting size XL, so I am using diagram A.1 for the back. For some reason I am getting stocking stitch instead of moss stitch within my centre cable - the two outer designs look right. What am I doing wrong?
16.01.2024 - 12:37DROPS Design answered:
Dear Wendy, make sure you will knit the purl stitches and purl the knit stitches just as shown in diagram when working the middle stitches in the center cable, so that you will be sure to get moss stitch. Happy knitting!

For the increase on the Shawl collar the instructions say - Continue like this until collar measures approx. 5-5-5-6-6-6 cm / 2''-2''-2''-2 3/8''-2 3/8''-2 3/8''. Now inc 1 st in each of the middle 14-14-14-16-16-16 P-sections seen from RS (= back of neck) = 158-162-170-180-188-196 sts. I have 9 Purl sections on the back of the neck, each is 2 stitches (18 purl stitches). I'm not sure I understand where I should start the increases for 14 stitches.
05.01.2024 - 07:13DROPS Design answered:
Dear Bernadette, if you get an odd number of P-sections you can choose you increase in the middle 13 or in the middle 15 P-sections, and work the remaining P-sections on each side of these just as before. Happy knitting!
