Gauge
pattern without dropped stitches:
*1x k, 1x p* repeat
5 cm = 21 sts
rib


Pattern on chest:
Change form *1x k, 2x p* to
garter stitch (one row k, one
row p in round)
10 cm = 24 sts


pattern with dropped sts:
*1x p, 1x k, 1x p, 1x dropped sts
10cm = 18 sts
The basis for the cast on is the gauge for garter stitch and the
measurement of the Chest.
Here is an example calculation:

For a Chest with 103 cm you need this cast on:
2,4 (sts pro cm) x 103 cm Chest = 247,2
The result is then rounded up to the next divisible by 3.
Here you have to cast on 249 sts.

Take your measurements and calculate based on your gauge your
cast on.

Pattern for the cast-on-sts (3sts):
right row: 1x k, 1x p, 1 yo, 1x p
wrong row: 1x k, 1 yo, 1x k, 1x p

Pattern for the wrong row (for the Diagonal) rib:
take off the first st and draw a double mesh (like you know from short-
row-knitting). und den Rest wie sie erscheinen, d.h. am Ende hat man ein
Bndchenmuster aus 1x k, 1x p im Wechsel..












diagonal :
Closed the cast on to the round. The diagonal is worked flat in rows.
You start with S=4, M=5, L= 6 pattern for the cast-on-sts.
Turn, take off the first st and draw a double mesh (like you know from
short-row-knitting) and knit rib. Knit it in each row a pattern set more of
the cast on..
Do as long until only> 9 sts are left. Knit the all in a right row and go on
knitting in round.

Cast ON: 249
The pattern make with 3 sts + yo = 4 sts
You get an new total number of sts: 249 / 3 x 4 = 332

rib with dropped stitches:

The measurement from the waist to below the arm is needed for the
further knitting division:
example: 30 cm
knitting-part for: 30 cm / 3 = 10 cm pro part

















The rhythm of the dropped stitches goes over 16 sts (Sample Code
see above) . Not always the selected mesh number is also divisible
by 16. (with me not) This can then be laminated at the start and end
of the diagonal. Please put it fixed before you the start dropping.

Pay attention that the mesh is always dropped when in the initial series a
YO was made and there is a small hole. The two meshes next to the drop
stitch are purl.

First part dropped sts: after 10 cm

Second part dropped sts:
after 20 cm











Third part dropped sts:
after 30 cm








Garter sts with dropped sts:

Decide on a variant:
Do you like to carry the diagonal
on side or back .

This shirt gets a side
diagonal.

Neck with horizontal drop stitch

First row: 15 sts bind off, 114 sts k, 15 sts bind of, 115 sts k

The number of started diagonal stitches of the first row are now bound off
for armhole.

Example calculation:
332 sts total
/ 4 (sts at the start-pattern)
x 3 (sts after dropped sts)
you get: 249 sts at the end of part three
Der Diagonalstart bestand aus 4/5/6 Musterstzen a 4 Maschen
(16/20/24 Maschen). Daraus sind jetzt 12/15/18 Maschen geworden, die
fr den Armausschnitt abgekettet werden.

Zweite row:
Measure the outside upper arm circumference at the level of the arm
cutout.
34,5 cm x 2,4 (see gauge for garter sts) = 80 sts

80 sts cast on, 114 sts p, 80 sts cast on, 115 sts p = 389 sts

Here in the 7th row distributed 28x two stitches tog k.

The remaining sts elastic bind off and weave in ends.
