Sweater Iceberg Road

Вязаный  свитер с кокеткой и узором «шишечки»

A sweater with a round yoke made from DROPS Wish yarn is knitted in an openwork pattern with cones.

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

You will need:
Yarn DROPS WISH (50% alpaca, 33% cotton, 17% merino wool, 70m/50g)
500-550-600-650-700-750 g, color 03, light gray

Spokes:
Circular knitting needles DROPS size 8 mm, line length 40 cm and 60-60-60-80-80-80 cm.
Circular knitting needles DROPS size 7 mm, line length 40 and 60-60-60-80-80-80 cm.
DROPS stocking needles size 7 and 8 mm.
The MAGIC LOOP technique can be used for knitting; in this case, you will only need circular knitting needles with 80 cm fishing line of each size.

Knitting density:
11 stitches and 15 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:

PATTERN:
See diagram A.1. Choose a pattern for your size.

UNIFORM INCREASES/DECREASES:
To calculate the rhythm of performing uniform increases/decrements, the total number of stitches on the needles (for example, 104 sts) is divided by the number of increases/decrements that need to be made (for example, 20) = 5.2.
To increase in this example, make 1 yarn over approximately after every 5th loop, in the next circular row, knit yarn overs with crossed loops.
To decrease, knit together with a slant to the right approximately every 4th and 5th stitches.

DECREASES ON SLEEVES:
Decrease 1 stitch on each side of the marker like this:
knit until 3 stitches remain before the marker, knit 2 stitches together with a slant to the right, knit 2 (the marker will remain between these loops), knit 2 loops together with a knit stitch slanting to the left (= 2 loops decreased).

TIP FOR CLOSURE LOOPES:
To prevent the closed edge from being pulled, you can use a larger needle size to bind off the stitches. If in this case the edge pulls, during closure you can make 1 yarn over approximately after every 4th loop and close it like a regular loop.

KNITTING DESCRIPTION:

SWEATER, 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 the body and sleeves and continue knitting the body in the round on circular needles. Sleeves are knitted in the round on stocking/short circular needles, from top to bottom.

NECK:
Cast on 54-60-60-66-66-72 sts on 7mm short circular needles using DROPS Wish yarn. Knit 1 round row with knit stitches. Then knit an elastic band (knit 1, purl 1) 12 cm long.

YOKE:
Change the knitting needles to 8mm circular knitting needles. Mark this row with a marker, measure the yoke from this marker!

Work pattern A.1 on all stitches (= 9-10-10-11-11-12 repeats 6 stitches).

When A.1 is completely knitted, the length of the yoke is approx. 21-21-21-25-25-25 cm from the marker on the neckline and on the needles 153-170-170-198-198-216 stitches.

WATCH THE DENSITY OF KNITTING!

Continue knitting in stockinette stitch until the yoke measures 21-23-24-26-28-30 cm.

Knit 1 round row with knit stitches and adjust the number of stitches in it to 152-168-184-192-212-228 stitches.

In the next round, divide the yoke into body and sleeves like this:

knit 23-26-28-30-33-36 stitches (= half back),

slip the next 30-32-36-36-40-42 stitches onto the holder (= sleeve) and cast on 6-6-6-8-8-8 new stitches for cutting,

knit 46-52-56-60-66-72 stitches (= front),

slip the next 30-32-36-36-40-42 stitches onto the holder (= sleeve) and cast on 6-6-6-8-8-8 new stitches for cutting,

Knit the last 23-26-28-30-33-36 stitches (= back half).

Finish knitting the body and sleeves separately. FURTHER MEASUREMENTS SHOULD BE MADE FROM THIS PLACE.

BODY:
= 104-116-124-136-148-160 stitches.

Continue working in stockinette stitch until 25-25-26-26-26-26 cm are worked from the split.

Remains approx. 6 cm to the final length of the sweater, try on the product and continue knitting if necessary.

To prevent the elastic from tightening the bottom of the sweater, knit 1 round row with knit stitches and evenly add 20-22-24-26-30-30 stitches = 124-138-148-162-178-190 stitches.

Change the knitting needles to 7mm circular knitting needles.

Knit an elastic band (knit 1 crossed, purl 1) to a height of 6 cm. Bind off the loops according to the pattern.

Sweater length – approx. 56-58-60-62-64-66 cm from shoulder down.

SLEEVES:
Slip 30-32-36-36-40-42 stitches from the holder on one side onto 8mm stocking/short circular needles and pick up 1 stitch over each of the previously cast on 6-6-6-8-8-8 undercut stitches = 36-38-42-44-48-50 stitches.

Place a marker in the middle of the raised 6-6-8-8-10-12 stitches. Move the marker as you knit, it will be used when making decreases on the sleeve.

Begin a round next to the marker and work in stockinette stitch in the round to a height of 4cm.

In the next row, decrease 1 stitch on each side of the marker, see instructions for knitting.

Make such decreases every 14-12-7-7-5-5 cm, for a total of 3-3-4-4-5-5 times = 30-32-34-36-38-40 stitches.

Continue knitting until the sleeve length is 34-31-31-29-28-26 cm from the split point. Remains approx. 6 cm to the final sleeve length, try on the sweater and continue knitting if necessary.

In the next round, increase 8 stitches evenly = 38-40-42-44-46-48 stitches.

Change the knitting needles to stocking needles size 7 mm and knit an elastic band (knit 1, purl 1) to a height of 6 cm.

Close the loops according to the pattern, see the tip for closing the loops.

Sleeve length – approx. 40-37-37-35-34-32 cm from the separation point.

Knit the second sleeve as well.
