----------------------------------------------------------
EXPLANATION FOR THE PATTERN:
----------------------------------------------------------
PATTERN:
See diagram A.1.
INCREASE TIP-1 (from right side):

INCREASE TOWARDS THE RIGHT BEFORE MARKER:
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.
INCREASE TOWARDS THE LEFT AFTER MARKER:
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.
INCREASE TIP-2 (from wrong side):

INCREASE TOWARDS THE RIGHT BEFORE MARKER:
Use left needle to pick up yarn between 2 stitches from round below, pick up yarn from the front and purl
stitch in back loop of stitch.
INCREASE TOWARDS THE LEFT AFTER MARKER:
Use left needle to pick up yarn between 2 stitches from round below, pick up yarn from the back and purl
stitch in front loop of stitch.
DECREASE TIP (applies to mid under sleeves):

Decrease 1 stitch on each side of marker thread as follows: Work until 3 stitches remain before marker
thread and knit 2 together, knit 2 (marker thread is between these 2 stitches), slip 1 stitch knitwise, knit 1,
pass slipped stitch over stitch worked (2 stitches decreased).
----------------------------------------------------------
START THE PIECE HERE:
----------------------------------------------------------
JUMPER - SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE:

Work double neck edge in the round on circular needle top down. Then work neck line with short rows, this
is worked back and forth on circular needle. Work the rest of the yoke in the round on circular needle. Now
divide yoke for body and sleeves. Work the body in the round on circular needle. Work sleeves in the round
on double pointed needles/a short circular needle.
DOUBLE NECK EDGE:

Cast on 116-120-124-134-140-148 stitches with DROPS Safran over a short circular needle size 2.5 and a
short circular needle size 3.5 mm held together. Pull out short circular needle 3.5 mm and keep stitches on
the short circular needle size 2.5 mm (cast is done like this to get an elastic cast-on edge).
Work rib (knit 1/purl 1) for 7 cm.
Now fold the rib in towards the wrong side to form a double edge - then work next round in rib as before
while at the same time working every approx. 4th stitch together with equivalent approx. every 4th stitch
from cast-on edge. You now have a double neck edge.
Knit 1 round while increasing 26-26-30-32-34-38 stitches evenly = 142-146-154-166-174-186 stitches.
Then work A.1 in the round over all stitches.
When A.1 has been worked, insert 1 marker in the middle of round (mid front). Work yoke as explained
below – measure yoke from this marker.
YOKE WITH SADDLE SHOULDER INCREASE:

Switch to circular needle size 3.5 mm. Insert 4 markers in the piece as explained below - this is done
without working the stitches, and each marker is inserted between 2 stitches. Use these markers when
increasing for saddle shoulder. They should be in a different colour than the marker at the front.
1st marker: Count 28-29-31-32-34-37 stitches (half back piece), insert 1st marker before next stitch.
2nd marker: Count 15-15-15-19-19-19 stitches from 1st marker (shoulder stitches), insert 2nd marker
before next stitch.
3rd marker: Count 56-58-62-64-68-74 stitches (front piece), insert 3rd marker before next stitch.
4th marker: Count 15-15-15-19-19-19 stitches (shoulder stitches), insert 4th marker before next stitch.
28-29-31-32-34-37 stitches remain on round after 4th marker (half back piece).
Move these 4 markers upwards when working, increase at each of these markers later.
Now work a neck line with short rows as explained below to make the garment hight at the back of neck.
This is done while at the same time increasing for saddle shoulders.
Beginning from right side mid back, and work as follows:

ROW 1 (= right side): Work in stocking stitch and increase for saddle shoulders BEFORE 1st marker and
AFTER 2nd marker - read INCREASE TIP-1 (2 stitches increased), turn when 2 stitches have been worked
past 2nd marker.
ROW 2 (= wrong side): Work in stocking stitch and increase for saddle shoulders BEFORE 2nd and 4th
marker and AFTER 1st and 3rd marker - read INCREASE TIP-2 (4 stitches increased), turn when 2 stitches
have been worked past 3rd marker.
ROW 3 (= right side): Work in stocking stitch and increase for saddle shoulders BEFORE 3rd and 1st
marker and AFTER 4th and 2nd marker (4 stitches increased), turn when 2 stitches more have been since
last turn.
marker and AFTER 1st and 3rd marker (4 stitches increased), turn when 2 stitches more have been worked
since last turn.
ROW 5 (= right side): Work in stocking stitch and increase for saddle shoulders BEFORE 3rd and 1st
marker and AFTER 4th and 2nd marker (4 stitches increased), turn when 2 stitches more have been since
last turn.
marker and AFTER 1st and 3rd marker (4 stitches increased), turn when 2 stitches more have been worked
since last turn.
ROW 7 (= right side): Work in stocking stitch and increase for saddle shoulder BEFORE 3rd marker and
AFTER 4th marker (2 stitches increased), work in stocking stitch until mid back.
The short rows are now done, and you have increased 6 times in total for saddle shoulders at every marker
= 166-170-178-190-198-210 stitches on row. I.e. it has only been increased on front piece and back piece
and number of shoulder stitches is the same.
Continue working in stocking stitch in the round over all stitches. REMEMBER THE KNITTING TENSION!
AT THE SAME TIME continue increase for saddle shoulder the same way as before on EVERY round until
increase has been done 20-22-26-28-28-28 times in total including the 6 times in neck line = 222-234-
258-278-286-298 stitches.
After last increase piece measures approx. 6-7-8-9-9-9 cm from marker at the front by the neck.
Work next round as follows: Work as before until 1st marker, cast off the 15-15-15-19-19-19 shoulder
stitches, work in stocking stitch until 3rd marker, cast off the 15-15-15-19-19-19 saddle shoulder, work as
before the rest of round = 192-204-228-240-248-260 stitches. Keep the markers in the piece - use the
markers when increasing for sleeves.
Work 48-51-57-60-62-65 stitches in stocking stitch (half back piece), cast on 52-52-52-66-66-66 new
stitches on needle for sleeve, work 96-102-114-120-124-130 stitches in stocking stitch (front piece), cast
on 52-52-52-66-66-66 new stitches on needle for sleeve, work 48-51-57-60-62-65 stitches in stocking
stitch (half back piece) = 296-308-332-372-380-392 stitches. Then increase for sleeves as explained
below.
SLEEVE INCREASE:
Work in stocking stitch in the round. AT THE SAME TIME on next round increase 4 stitches for sleeves as
follows:
Increase AFTER 1st and 3rd marker and increase BEFORE 2nd and 4th marker – remember INCREASE TIP-
1.
Increase now only on sleeves and number of stitches on front pieces and back piece is the same. Work the
increased stitches in stocking stitch.
Increase like this every other round 23-24-25-21-27-25 times in total, then increase on every round 0-0-5-
9-0-0 times in total = 388-404-452-492-488-492 stitches.
Piece measures approx. 20-22-25-25-26-25 cm from marker by the neck. Then increase for yoke as
explained below.
YOKE INCREASE:
Move the 4 marker so that they are in each side on sleeves (markers are now in a stitches and there are
96-98-110-124-118-114 stitches between stitches with marker).
Continue in stocking stitch. AT THE SAME TIME on first round increase 8 stitches for yoke as follows:
Increase BEFORE and AFTER each of the 4 markers - remember INCREASE TIP-1.
Increase stitches on both on front piece, back piece and sleeves. Increase like this EVERY round 6-6-4-7-
11-15 times in total.
After last increase there are 436-452-484-548-576-612 stitches on row and piece measures approx. 22-
24-26-27-29-29 cm from marker mid front.
On next round divide yoke for body and sleeves as follows: Work 54-57-61-67-73-80 stitches (= half back
piece), slip the next 110-112-120-140-142-146 stitches on a thread for sleeve, cast on 8-10-12-12-14-16
new stitches on needle (in the side under sleeve), work 108-114-122-134-146-160 stitches (front piece),
slip the next 110-112-120-140-142-146 stitches on a thread for sleeve, cast on 8-10-12-12-14-16 new
stitches on needle (in the side under sleeve), work the last 54-57-61-67-73-80 stitches (= half back
piece). Finish body and sleeves separately. Now measure piece from here!
BODY:
= 232-248-268-292-320-352 stitches. Work stocking stitch in the round until piece measures 20-20-20-
20-20-22 cm from division. Knit 1 round while increasing 63-73-77-83-93-97 stitches evenly = 296-320-
344-376-412-450 stitches.
Switch to circular needle size 2.5 mm. Work rib (knit 1/purl 1) for 5 cm. Cast off. Jumper measures approx.
50-52-54-56-58-60 cm from shoulder.
SLEEVES:
Slip the 110-112-120-140-142-146 stitches from thread in one side of piece a short circular needle size 3.5
mm – pick in addition up 1 stitch in each of the 8-10-12-12-14-16 new stitches cast on under sleeve =
118-122-132-152-156-162 stitches.
Insert 1 marker thread mid under sleeve – in the middle of the 8-10-12-12-14-16 stitches. Move the
marker thread upwards when working - it should be used for decrease.
Begin round at the marker thread, and work stocking stitch in the round. AT THE SAME TIME on first round
decrease 12-14-16-18-20-22 stitches evenly = 106-108-116-134-136-140 stitches.
When piece measures 1 cm from division, decrease 2 stitches mid under sleeve - read DECREASE TIP.
Decrease like this every cm 9-8-6-6-5-5 times in total = 88-92-104-122-126-130 stitches. After last
decrease knit 1 round while decreasing 10-12-22-36-36-38 stitches evenly = 78-80-82-86-90-92 stitches.
Work A.1 in the round over all stitches. When A.1 has been worked, switch to double pointed needles size
2.5 mm. Work rib (knit 1/purl 1) for 3 cm. Cast off. Sleeve measures approx. 13-12-10-10-9-9 cm from
division. Work the other sleeve the same way.
ASSEMBLY:
