Miss Summerbee jumper

Jumper made from DROPS Flora yarn is knitted from top to bottom with a round yoke, double neckline and a relief pattern on the yoke. 

Dimensions: S – M – L – XL – XXL – XXXL

You will need:
Yarn DROPS Flora (65% alpaca, 35% wool, 210m/50g)
300-300-350-400-400-450 g, color 22, white fog

Spokes:
Circular knitting needles DROPS sizes 2.5 and 3 mm, line length 40 and 80 cm.
DROPS double needles in sizes 2.5 and 3 mm.
Knitting needle DROPS.
To knit in the round, you can use the MAGIC LOOP technique; in this case, you will need circular knitting needles with 80 cm fishing line of all specified sizes.
Knitting density:
26 stitches and 34 rows in stockinette stitch = 10 x 10 cm.
Note! The knitting needle sizes are given as a guideline. If there are too many stitches in a 10cm knitted pattern, use larger needles. If there are too few stitches in the 10 cm sample, take smaller needles.

EXPLANATIONS FOR KNITTING:

shawl knitting (knitting in the round):
1 edge of garter stitch in height = 2 circular rows: 1 circular row with knit stitches and 1 circular row with purl stitches.

ROSTOK (neck recess on the back):
For a better fit of the jumper, you can knit a sprout. If you don't want to knit a sprout, skip this part of the description.
Place 1 marker at the beginning of the round (middle of the back). Start on the right side of the work and knit 14-15-16-16-17-18 stitches after the marker, turn the work around, pull up the thread and knit 28-30-32-32-34-36 purl stitches in the opposite direction.
Unfold the work, pull up the thread and knit 42-45-48-48-51-54 stitches, turn the work around, pull up the thread and knit 56-60-64-64-68-72 purl stitches.
Unfold the work, pull up the thread and knit 70-75-80-80-85-90 stitches, turn the work around, pull up the thread and knit 84-90-96-96-102-108 purl stitches.
Unfold the work, pull up the thread and knit 98-105-112-112-119-126 knit stitches, turn the work around, pull up the thread and knit 112-120-128-128-136-144 purl loops.
Unfold the work, pull up the thread and knit the front loops to the middle of the back. Next, knit the YOKETTE as described in the text.

PATTERN: See diagrams A.1 – A.3.

UNIFORM INCREASES/DECREASES:
To calculate the rhythm of performing uniform increases/decrements, the total number of stitches on the needles (for example, 120 stitches) is divided by the number of increases/decreases that need to be made (for example, 32) = 3.8.
In this example, to increase, make 1 yarn over approximately after every 4th loop. In the next row, knit the yarn over so that there is no hole.
To decrease, knit together with a slant to the right approximately every 3rd and 4th stitches.

DECREASES ON SLEEVES:
Start 3 stitches before the marker, knit 2 stitches together with a slant to the right, knit 2 (the marker will remain between these 2 loops), knit 2 stitches together with a slant to the left.

KNITTING DESCRIPTION:

JUMPER, brief description of work:
Knit the neckline and yoke in the round on circular needles, from the middle of the back, from top to bottom. Divide the yoke into body and sleeves and continue knitting the body in the round. Knit sleeves on short circular / stocking needles.

NECK:
Cast on 120-124-130-136-140-146 stitches in DROPS Flora using 2.5mm and 3mm short circular needles held together. Remove the 3 mm needle (this is done for greater elasticity of the cast-on edge).

Knit ribbing (1 k/1 p) to a height of 9 cm. Fold the neckline in half inward and knit 1 more round with ribbing, knitting every 2nd stitch together with the corresponding cast-on stitch.

Change the knitting needles to 3mm circular knitting needles. Knit 1 round row with knit stitches and evenly add 32-36-38-40-44-46 stitches (see knitting instructions) = 152-160-168-176-184-192 stitches.

Place 1 marker in the middle of the circular row (middle of the back), measure the yoke from this marker.

You can knit a SPROUT (see explanation for knitting). If you do not knit a sprout, go straight to knitting a YOKETTE.

YOKE:
Knit 2-2-6-6-8-10 round rows in stockinette stitch, then 2 garter stitch edges on all stitches (see knitting instructions). WATCH THE DENSITY OF KNITTING!

Knit according to pattern A.1 in the round on all stitches and increase in the rows marked with arrows:

Arrow 1: Increase evenly 40-40-48-56-64-64 sts = 192-200-216-232-248-256 sts.
Arrow 2: Increase 48-52-60-68-64-74 sts evenly = 240-252-276-300-312-330 sts.

When A.1 is knitted, knit A.2 on all stitches and increase in the rows marked with arrows:

Arrow 3: Increase evenly 102-108-114-126-126-138 stitches = 342-360-390-426-438-468 stitches (these increases are made because the pattern tightens the garment).
Arrow 4: Dec 6-6-6-12-12-12 sts evenly = 336-354-384-414-426-456 sts.
Arrow-5: Evenly increase 24-30-30-30-36-42 stitches = 360-384-414-444-462-498 stitches.
Arrow 6: Increase 16-24-26-28-34-38 sts evenly = 376-408-440-472-496-536 sts. Finished for sizes S, M and L.

When A.2 is knitted, knit A.3 on all stitches.
Make increases in the rows marked with arrows (applies to sizes XL, XXL and XXXL):
Arrow 7 (XL, XXL and XXXL): Increase 16-24-24 stitches evenly = 488-520-560 stitches.

OVERVIEW OF THE FOLLOWING SECTION OF THE DESCRIPTION:
Continue knitting according to pattern A.3, as described below. Divide the yoke into body and sleeves. Please read the PATTERN and BODY AND SLEEVES DIVISION sections before proceeding.

PATTERN:

Sizes S and M:
When A.3 is knitted (3 rows of knots in total), continue knitting in stockinette stitch. Note: Divide the yoke into body and sleeves before A.3 is completed.

Size L:
Once A.3 has been worked, work the first 6 rounds marked with a star (4 rows of knots in total), then continue in stockinette stitch. Note: Divide the yoke into body and sleeves before A.3 is completed.

Sizes XL, XXL and XXXL:
Once A.3 has been knitted, work the rows marked with a star until a total of 5-6 rows of knots have been knitted, then continue knitting in stockinette stitch. Note: Divide the yoke into body and sleeves before A.3 is completed.

SEPARATION ON BODY AND SLEEVES:
When the height of the yoke is 21-23-25-27-29-31 cm from the marker, divide it into the body and sleeves like this:

knit 56-61-65-72-79-86 stitches as before (½ back),

slip the next 76-82-90-100-102-108 stitches onto the holder (sleeve) and cast on 8-8-10-10-12-12 stitches for cutting,

knit 112-122-130-144-158-172 stitches (front),

slip the next 76-82-90-100-102-108 stitches onto the holder (sleeve) and cast on 8-8-10-10-12-12 stitches for cutting,

knit last 56-61-65-72-79-86 stitches (½ back).

Finish knitting the body and sleeves separately. Make further measurements from this place!

BODY:
= 240-260-280-308-340-368 stitches.

Finish knitting pattern A.3 as described. Note: Once separated, the pattern may not match at the bottom of the sleeves; knit the pattern as much as possible, knit the remaining undercut stitches at the bottom of the sleeves in stockinette stitch.

When A.3 is completed (3-3-4-5-6-6 rows of knots in total), continue working in stockinette stitch until the body is 24cm from the split.

Work 1 round in stockinette stitch and evenly add 48-52-56-62-68-74 stitches = 288-312-336-370-408-442 stitches.

Change the knitting needles to circular ones of size 2.5 mm and knit an elastic band (K1 / P1) to a height of 4 cm. Close the loops a little loosely.

Jumper length – approx. 52-54-56-58-60-62 cm from shoulder down.

SLEEVES:
Slip 76-82-90-100-102-108 stitches from the holder on one side onto short 3mm circular/double needles and pick up 1 stitch over each of the previously cast-on undercut stitches = 84-90-100-110-114-120 loops

Place a marker in the middle of the hem stitches.

Finish knitting pattern A.3 as described. Note: Once separated, the pattern may not match at the bottom of the sleeve; knit the pattern as far as possible, knit the remaining undercut stitches in stockinette stitch.

When A.3 is completed, continue working in stockinette stitch to a height of 4-4-4-2-3-2 cm from the split.

Decrease 2 loops at the bottom of the sleeve (see knitting instructions).

Decrease every 4½-3½-2-2-1½-1½ cm, for a total of 8-10-14-17-18-20 times = 68-70-72-76-78-80 stitches.

Continue knitting a sleeve with a total length of 39-38-36-35-33-32 cm from the split point. Remains approx. 4 cm to the final sleeve length, try on the jumper and, if desired, continue knitting to the required length.

Knit 1 round with knit stitches and evenly add 12-14-14-14-14-16 stitches = 80-84-86-90-92-96 stitches.

Change the knitting needles to stocking needles size 2.5 mm and knit an elastic band (K1 / P1) to a height of 4 cm. Close the loops a little loosely.

Sleeve length – approx. 43-42-40-39-37-36 cm from the separation point.

Knit the second sleeve as well.
