Iceberg Road Jacket

Knitted jacket with yoke and bump pattern

The jacket is knitted from DROPS Wish yarn from top to bottom in a round yoke with an openwork pattern and bumps.

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

Buttons DROPS, Marble No. 630: 5-5-5-6-6-6 pcs.

Spokes:
Circular knitting needles DROPS size 8 mm, line length 40 and 80 cm.
Circular knitting needles DROPS size 7 mm, line length 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:

shawl knitting (knitting in rotating rows):
Knit all rows with facial stitches.
1 edge of garter stitch in height = 2 rows with knit stitches.

PATTERN:
See diagrams A.1 – A.3. The diagrams show all the rows as they look on the front side of the work. Choose a pattern for your size.

UNIFORM INCREASES/DECREASES:
To calculate the rhythm of performing uniform increases/decrements, divide the total number of stitches on the knitting needles (for example, 112 stitches) and the minus stitches of the planks (8 stitches) by the number of increases/decreases that need to be made (for example, 21) = 4.9.
In this example, to increase, make 1 yarn over approximately after every 5th loop. Do not increase the hinges of the planks. In the next row, knit yarn overs with crossed loops so that there are no holes.
To decrease, knit together with a slant to the right every 4th and 5th stitches.

BUTTON LOOPES:
Knit buttonholes on the right front (when the product is worn).
Knit on the front side when there are 3 loops left to the end of the row, like this: make 1 yarn over, knit 2 loops together with a knit stitch slanting to the right and knit 1. In the next row (on the wrong side of the work), knit the yarn over with a simple knit stitch, leaving a hole.
Knit the first button loop when the yoke is knitted 1 cm. Knit the remaining 4-4-4-5-5-5 loops so that there are approximately 9½-9½-10-10-10-10 cm between them.

DECREASES ON SLEEVES:
Decrease 1 stitch on each side of the marker like this: knit until there are 3 stitches left before the marker, knit 2 stitches together with a slant to the right, knit 2 (the marker will remain between these loops), knit 2 stitches together knit with a slant 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:
JACKET, brief description of work:
Knit the neckline and yoke in turning rows on circular needles from top to bottom. Divide the yoke into the body and sleeves and continue knitting the body in turning rows on circular needles. Sleeves are knitted in the round on stocking/short circular needles.

NECK:
Cast on 63-69-69-75-75-81 sts (including 4 placket stitches on both sides) using 7mm circular needles and DROPS Wish yarn.

Purl 1 row on the wrong side of the work.

Knit the next row on the front side of the work like this: 4 loops of the garter stitch strap (see explanations for knitting), * 1 knitted stitch, 1 purl stitch *, repeat loops between the stars until there are 5 loops left, 1 knitted stitch and 4 loops of the garter stitch strap .

On the wrong side of the work, knit as follows: 4 loops of the garter stitch placket, * 1 purl crossed, 1 knit *, repeat the loops between the stars until there are 5 loops left, 1 purl crossed, 4 loops of the garter stitch placket.

Knit an elastic band to a height of 12 cm.

YOKE:
Change the knitting needles to 8mm circular knitting needles. Place a marker after the placket loops and measure the yoke from this marker.

Remember that you need to knit buttonholes, see the explanation for knitting.

Work on the right side of the work like this: 4 stitches in garter stitch, A.1 (= 7 stitches), A.2 on the next 42-48-48-54-54-60 stitches (= 7-8-8-9-9 -10 reps 6 stitches), A.3 (= 6 stitches) and 4 garter stitches.

When A.1, A.2 and A.3 are fully knitted in height, the yoke will be approx. 21-21-21-25-25-25 cm from the marker on the neckline and on the needles there will be 162-179-179-207-207-225 stitches.

WATCH THE DENSITY OF KNITTING!

Continue knitting in stockinette stitch, knitting the placket stitches in garter stitch until 21-23-24-26-28-30 cm are knitted from the marker.

Knit 1 row with knit stitches and adjust the number of stitches in it to 160-176-192-200-220-236 stitches.

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

knit the first 27-30-32-34-37-40 stitches (= front),

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

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

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

knit the remaining 27-30-32-34-37-40 stitches (= front).

Next, knit the body and sleeves separately. FURTHER MEASUREMENTS SHOULD BE MADE FROM THIS PLACE!

BODY:
= 112-124-132-144-156-168 stitches.

Continue knitting in stockinette stitch, and stitches in garter stitch (4 stitches on each side) until 25-25-26-26-26-26 cm are knitted from the point of division.

There is about 6 cm left until the final length of the jacket, try on the product and continue knitting to the desired length if necessary.

To prevent the elastic from tightening the bottom of the product, knit 1 row with purl stitches on the wrong side of the work (knit the strips with knit stitches) and evenly add 21-23-25-27-31-33 stitches (see explanation for knitting) = 133-147-157 -171-187-201 loops.

Change the knitting needles to 7mm circular knitting needles.

Knit the next row on the front side of the work like this: 4 garter stitch placket stitches, * k1 crossed, p1 *, repeat stitches between stars until 5 loops remain, knit 1 crossed, 4 garter stitch placket loops.

Knit the next row on the wrong side of the work like this: 4 garter stitch placket loops, * 1 purl crossed, knit 1 *, repeat loops between stars until there are 5 loops left, 1 purl crossed, 4 garter stitch placket loops.

Knit an elastic band to a height of 6 cm.

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

Jacket 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 jacket 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.
