DROPS 8 mm [US 11] needles, or size needed to obtain correct gauge.
Gauge: 11 sts x 15 rows in stockinette st = 10 x 10 cm
Pattern: See charts. The pattern is seen from the right side. «Midt foran/fram» = center front.
Front: Cast on 44-48-52-58-64 sts and P 1 row (wrong side). Knit the next row as follows: K 1-
1-2-2-2 (garter st edge sts), K 2, P 3-3-4-5-6, K 2, P 9-11-11-13-15, Pattern 1 (= 10 sts), P 9-
11-11-13-15, K 2, P 3-3-4-5-6, K 2 and K 1-1-2-2-2 (garter st edge sts). Continue in pattern as
established.
Read the entire next section before knitting:
V-neck: When the piece measures approx. 35-37-38-40-42 cm – adjust so that you have at
least 2 rows after a cable – divide the piece at center front and knit each piece separately. Each
cable now will be along the edge of the V-neck. Put half the sts on a st holder.
1st side: Continue in pattern and shape V-neck as shown in chart on page 25 (1st row of chart =
wrong side).
Armhole: At the same time when the piece measures 36-37-38-39-40 cm knit 2 rows garter st
over the outermost 3-3-4-7-9 sts at each side (the remaining sts are knit the same as before).
On the next row bind off the outermost 2-2-3-6-8 sts at each side for armhole.
Continue in pattern as established, keeping 1 st at armhole in garter st.
After all V-neck and armhole shaping is complete 12-14-15-15-16 sts remain on each shoulder.
Continue in pattern, with 1 st in garter st at each side. When the piece measures 53-55-57-59-
61 cm dec 2 sts over each cable by K 2 tog (from right side) = 10-12-13-13-14 sts remain on
each shoulder. Put sts on a st holder, the piece measures approx. 54-56-58-60-62 cm.
2nd side: Knit the same as the first side, reversing all shaping.
Begin the first row at center front. Start by picking up 1 st in the first st from the other side and
K tog with the first st on needle, in order to reinforce the bottom of the V-neck.
Back: Cast on 40-44-48-54-60 sts and P 1 row (wrong side). Establish pattern as follows on the
next row:
Size XS: K 1 (edge st knit in garter st), * K 2, P 3 *, repeat * - * a total of 3 times, K 2, P 4, * K
2, P 3 *, repeat a total of 3 times and finish with K 2 and K 1 (edge st knit in garter st).
Size S: K 1 (edge st knit in garter st), * K 2, P 3 *, repeat * - * and finish with K 2 and K 1
(edge st knit in garter st).
Size M: K 2 (edge sts knit in garter st), K 2, P 4, * K 2, P 3 *, repeat * - * a total of 6 times and
finish with K 2, P 4, K 2 and K 2 (edge sts knit in garter st).
Size L: K 2 (edge sts knit in garter st), K 2, P 5 * K 2, P 3 *, repeat * - * a total of 3 times, K 2,
P 2, * K 2, P 3 *, repeat * - * a total of 3 times and finish with K 2, P 5, K 2 and K 2 (edge sts
knit in garter st).
Size XL: K 2 (edge sts knit in garter st), K 2, P 2, K 2, P 2, * K 2, P 3 *, repeat * - * a total of 3
times, K 3, P 4, K 3, * P 3, K 2 *, repeat * - * a total of 3 times and finish with P 2, K 2, P 2, K 2
and K 2 (edge sts knit in garter st).
When the piece measures 36-37-38-39-40 cm knit 2 rows in garter st over the outermost 3-3-4-
7-9 sts at each side (knit the remaining sts as before). On the next row bind off the outermost
2-2-3-6-8 sts at each side for armhole = 36-40-42-42-44 sts. Continue in rib with 1 st in garter
st at each side.
When the piece measures 51-53-55-57-59 cm knit 2 rows garter st over the center 18 sts (knit
the remaining sts as before).
