How to work a jumper top down
Several of our jumpers are worked top-down, and this is primarily because it provides more flexibility in terms of adjusting the jumper to personal measurements or preferences. It is easier to adjust the length of sleeves, body and especially the yoke. Working top-down also makes it easier to try the piece on while working.
In this lesson we show you how to work a jumper with a simple raglan increase. Start by picking the pattern you want to knit and use this lesson to guide you. If you want to work on a pattern with a different kind of raglan just follow the instructions for increases in you pattern - you’ll notice that the principle of top-down is the same as in this example. Similarly, this technique can also be used when working a round yoke, just follow the increase instructions for the round yoke instead of the raglan showed here.
Additionally, If you’re working a jacket top-down the technique will be the same, but you’ll work the piece back and forth on needle, starting mid front (a marker at the back will not be necessary).
Let’s get started
1) We have started this example by casting on 48 stitches and working 3 cm rib (knit 2, purl

EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN:
GARTER STITCH (worked in the round):
Alternatelyknit 1 round and purl 1 round.
1 ridge in height = 2 rounds.
RAGLAN:
Only increase on purled rounds!
Increase 1 stitch by making 1 yarn over, which is worked as follows on the next round (knitted round):
BEFORE RAGLAN-STITCHES:
Slip the yarn over off the left needle and replace it twisted (insert the left needle through the back when replacing it). Knit the front loop to avoid a hole. Then work the new stitch in garter stitch.
AFTER RAGLAN-STITCHES:
Knit through the back loop to avoid a hole. Then work the new stitch in garter stitch.
SLEEVE TIP:
When knitting up stitches under the sleeve, you can get a small hole in the transition between stitches on the body and sleeve. This hole can be closed by picking up the strand between 2 stitches and working this strand twisted together with the first stitch between body and sleeve.
DECREASE TIP (for sleeves):
All decreases are worked on a knitted round!
Decrease 1 stitch on each side of the marker-thread as follows:
Knit 1, slip 1 stitch knit-wise, knit 1 and pass the slipped stitch over the knitted s

How to work European Shoulders with inc to armhole, front pieces together and front & back together
In this DROPS video we show how you cast on stitches between the front pieces to a garment with European shoulders, increase for armholes on each side, how to work the front pieces together and how to work the front and back piece together. From the right side, knit the stitches on the right front piece, cast on new stitches (read how many stitches in the pattern) and knit the stitches that are on a thread/stitch holder on the left front piece. The front pieces are now worked together. Knit stockinette stitch back and forth to the given measurement (11 cm in this video), measured along the armhole. Now increase 1 stitch in each side, increase on the inside of 3 stitches in each side, read INCREASE TIP below. Increase on every 2nd row as many times as it says in the pattern. Continue with stockinette stitch to the measurement says in the pattern (15 cm in this video). Now cast on new stitches under the 1st sleeve, knit the stitches from the back piece and cast on new stitches under the 2nd sleeve. Put the work together and follow the description of
Vad kul att du har hittat hit! Och ännu roligare att du är sugen på att börja sticka på något projekt.
Många som vill börja sticka tänker att de ska börja med något lätt (såklart) och då tänker de halsduk. Vi brukar faktiskt INTE rekommendera det. En halsduk är ofta lång och smal och ofta tröttnar stickare när de kommit halvvägs. Ett bra nybörjarprojekt ska vara snabbt, lätt och användbart, tycker vi.

Här kommer tips på 3 superenkla projekt att börja med. De består av bara räta maskor och raka stycken. Dessutom är de stickade med grova stickor så det går relativt snabbt att göra dessa projekt. Perfekt som första stickprojekt!

Många plagg stickas på rundsticka idag. Den största anlerdningen till att rundsticka plagg är att en slipper monteringen. Det kan vara bra att börja med ett mindre projekt med rundstickor innan man ger sig på en stor tröja. Då är passar mössor perfekt att börja med. I slutet av mössorna går går man över till strumpstickor, då rundstickan blir för lång. Tycker du strumpstickor verkar krångligt kan man testa Magic Loop teknik eller de nya strumpstickorma Addi Crasy Trio.
