Size: S – M/L – XL – XXL/XXXL
Materials: DROPS Kid-Silk from Garnstudio
125-125-150-150 g color no 05, heather
DROPS circular needle size 3.5 mm [US 4] (80 cm [32’’]) – or size needed to obtain
22 sts x 44 rows in garter st = 10 x 10 cm
[4’’ x 4’’].
All yarns are Garnstudio yarns. Color charts and updated retailer lists at www.garnstudio.com
Garter st, back and forth on needle: K all rows.
Pattern: See diagram M.1. The diagram shows 2 vertical pattern repeats. Work M.1 either side of piece – on the left side work diagram and on the right side mirror diagram.
Shortened rows: Work 6 rows on all sts,
- work row until Marking Thread (MT) at one side, turn the piece, tighten thread and work return row, work 1 row on all sts, turn piece, work row until MT at the other side, turn piece, tighten thread and work return row, work 5 rows on all sts *, repeat from -, i.e. 6 rows garter st on the middle 98-102-106-110 sts and 8 rows on sts in each pattern repeat each side.
[COLOR=“Red”]Bolero:
Worked back and forth on needle from side to side. Fold bolero double afterwards and sew sleeve and side seams. Loosely cast on 84-88-92-96 sts with 2 threads Kid-Silk on circular needle size 3.5 mm [US 4]. Remove 1 thread and continue in garter st. At the same time when piece measures 4 cm [1½’’] dec 1 st each side on every 4 cm [1½’’] a total of 4 times = 76-80-84-88 sts. Remember the knitting gauge! When piece measures 18 cm [7’’] (= sleeve) loosely cast on 39 new sts each side = 154-158-162-166 sts.
Insert a Marking Thread (MT) in piece 28 sts in from each side (= 98-102-106-110 sts between MT). Number of sts each side will vary from 28 to 40 depending on row in M.1, so let the MT follow the piece. [/COLOR]
Continue in garter st and work M.1 on the outermost sts each side, at the same time work shortened rows - see above.
When piece measures approx 82-88-98-108 cm [32 ¼"-34 5/8"-38½"-42½"] (incl sleeve), loosely bind off 39 sts each side – Note: Adjust to after a full pattern repeat of M.1.
Continue in garter st on the remaining 76-80-84-88 sts (= sleeve) – at the same time after 2 cm [3/4’’] inc 1 st each side on every 4 cm [1½’’] a total of 4 times = 84-88-92-96 sts. When sleeve measures 18 cm [7’’] bind off loosely with 2 threads.
Assembly: Fold bolero double – see Fig. 1. Sew sleeve and side seams in outer loops of sts – make sure seam is not too tight.
