DROPS KID-SILK from Garnstudio (belongs to yarn group A)
275-300-325-350-375-425 g colour 37, north sea
NEEDLES:
DROPS CIRCULAR NEEDLE SIZE 5 MM: Length 40 cm and 60-60-60-80-80-80 cm.
DROPS CIRCULAR NEEDLE SIZE 3 MM: Length 40 cm and 60-60-60-80-80-80 cm.

KNITTING TENSION
17 stitches in width and 22 rows in height with stocking stitch and 2 strands = 10 x 10 cm.
NOTE: Needle size is only a guide. If you get too many stitches on 10 cm, change to a larger
needle size. If you get too few stitches on 10 cm, change to a smaller needle size.
EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERI
RIDGE/GARTER STITCH (worked back and forth)
Knit all rows:
1 ridge = Knit 2 rows
PATTERN:
See diagrams A.1 to A.3. The diagrams show all rows in the pattern from the right side
INCREASE/DECREASE TIP (evenly spaced):
To work out how to increase/decrease evenly, count the number of stitches on to be
increased/decreased over (e.g. 120 stitches) and divide by the number of increases/decreases to
be made (e.g. 18 stitches) = 6.6. In this example, increase by making 1 yarn over after
alternately each 6th and 7th stitch (approx.). On the next row work the yarn overs twisted to
avoid holes. When decreasing, knit together alternately each Sth and 6th stitch and each 6th and
7th stitch.
INCREASE TIP-,

All increases are worked from the right side!
Increase 1 stitch by making 1 yarn over. On the next row (wrong side) knit the yarn over twisted
to avoid a hole.
INCREASE TIP-2:
BEFORE MARKER-STITCH:
The new stitch twists to the right.
Use the left needle to pick up the strand between 2 stitches from the previous round, pick up the
back strand and knit in the front loop
AFTER MARKER-STITCH:
The new stitch twists to the left.
Use the left needle to pick up the strand between 2 stitches from the previous round, pick up the
front strand and knit in the back loop
DECREASE TIP (for sleeves):
Decrease 1 stitch on either side of the marker thread as follows: Work until there are 3 stitches left
before the marker thread, knit 2 together, knit 2 (marker thread sits between these 2 stitches),
slip 1 stitch as if to knit, knit 1 and pass the slipped stitch over the knitted stitch (2 stitches
decreased).
CASTING-OFF TIP.
To avoid the cast-off edge being tight you can cast 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 casting off; the yarn
overs are cast off as normal stitches.
START THE PIECE HERE:
JUMPER - SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE:

Cast on 120-120-132-132-150-150 stitches with circular needle size 5 mm and 2 strands DROPS
Kid-Silk. Change to circular needle size 3 mm and work A.1 in the round for 16 cm. Knit 1 round
where you decrease 18-18-20-20-22-22 stitches evenly spaced - read INCREASE/DECREASE TIP
= 102-102-112-112-128-128 stitches.
Now turn the piece so you work in the opposite direction (this means the previous right side will be
on the outside when the neck is turned down later).
Continue in rib as follows:
Work A.3 over the first 18-18-21-21-24-24 stitches, insert a marker here, work A.2 over the next
12-12-14-14-16-16 stitches, work the first stitch in A.2, insert a marker here, work A.1 over the
next 36-36-39-39-45-45 stitches, work the first 2 stitches in A.1, insert a marker here, work A.2
over the next 12-12-14-14-16-16 stitches, work the first stitch in A.2, insert a marker here, work
A.1 over the next 18-18-18-18-21-21 stitches, work the first 2 stitches in A.1. Continue this
pattern for 8 cm (the neck measures 24 cm) - adjust so the next row is an even row in the
diagrams,
Work the next row as follows:
Knit 18-18-21-21-24-24 stitches and decrease 1-0-2-1-3-3 stitches evenly over these stitches (=
half back piece), work pattern as before over the next 13-13-15-15-17-17 stitches (= shoulder),
knit 38-38-41-41-47-47 stitches and decrease 4-2-3-1-5-5 evenly over these stitches (= front
piece), work pattern as before over the next 13-13-15-15-17-17 stitches (= shoulder), knit 20-20-
20-20-23-23 and decrease 3-2-1-0-2-2 stitches evenly over these stitches (= half back piece).
There are 94-98-106-110-118-118 stitches (34-36-38-40-42-42 stitches on the front/back pieces
and 13+13-15-15-17-17 stitches on each shoulder). Cut the strand
Now work the shoulders; leave the other stitches on the needle or place them on a thread.
SADDLE SHOULDERS:
Starting from the right side, work back and forth over the shoulder-stitches with circular needle
size 3 mm and 2 strands DROPS Kid-Silk as follows: Cast on 1 stitch (= edge stitch), work the 13-
13-15-15-17-17 stitches in pattern A.2 as before, at the same time as each purl-1 is increased to
purl-2 - read INCREASE TIP-1 (= 6-6-7-7-8-8 stitches increased), cast on 1 stitch at the end of
the row (= edge stitch) = 21-21-24-24-27-27 stitches.
Work 1 row from the wrong side then work the next row from the right side as follows:
1 edge stitch in garter stitch, A.3 until there are 2 stitches left, work the first stitch in A.3 (so the
pattern is symmetrical), 1 edge stitch in garter stitch. Continue this pattern back and forth until
the piece measures 8-8-9-9-10-10 cm from the purl-increases ~ adjust so the last row is from the
wrong side. Place these stitches on a thread and work the other shoulder in the same way.
Now work the front and back pieces and the shoulders onto the same circular needle size 5 mm, at
the same time as stitches are knitted up along the sides of the shoulders. Start the round from
mid-back:
HALF BACK PIECE: Work stocking stitch over the first 17-18-19-20-21-21 stitches, knit up 14-14-
14-15-15-15 stitches inside the edge stitch along the side of the shoulder.
