Jacket: Worked back and forth on circular needle, top down.

Yoke:

Cast on 101-105-109-113-117-121 sts on circular needle size 4.5 mm / US 7 with Paris. Work 2 ridges in GARTER ST - see explanation above. Switch to circular needle size 5 mm / US 8 and work like this inside 4 band sts in garter st in each side (continue until finished measurements): A.1, AT THE SAME TIME on first row in diagram inc 12-16-18-18-20-20 sts evenly - READ INCREASE TIP 1 = 113-121-127-131-137-141 sts (on 3rd row in A.1 K last st before band sts). When A.1 has been worked vertically, switch back to circular needle size 4.5 mm / US 7. Work in garter st AT THE SAME TIME inc 10 sts evenly on 2nd ridge and 6-7-13-15-21-26 sts on 5th ridge (NOTE: Inc on a row from RS. Do not inc over band sts) = 129-138-150-156-168-177 sts. REMEMBER THE KNITTING GAUGE When 7-7-8-8-8-10 ridges have been worked in total, piece measures 7-7-8-8-8-9 cm / 2 3/4"-2 3/4"-3"-3"-3"-3½", switch to circular needle size 5 mm / US 8. 

Work 2 rows in stockinette st. Now work rib as follows: * K 1, P 2 *, repeat from *-* (K last st before band sts). When rib measures 2 cm / 3/4'', inc by making 1 YO before K st in every section P on row (= 40-43-47-49-53-56 sts inc) = 169-181-197-205-221-233 sts. On next round K YO twisted (i.e. work in the back loop of st instead of front) to avoid holes. Continue with K 1/P 3. 

Repeat inc before every st with K when rib measures 4-4-4-5-6-6 cm / 1½"-1½"-1½"-2"-2½"-2½" = 209-224-244-254-274-289 sts. Continue with K 1/P 4 until rib measures 6-6-6-7-8-8 cm / 2½"-2½"-2½"-2 3/4"-3"-3" in total. Work 2 rows in stockinette st. Now switch to circular needle size 4.5 mm / US 7. Work 2 ridges while AT THE SAME TIME on first row inc 8-11-11-15-21-28 sts evenly = 217-235-255-269-295-317 sts. Switch to circular needle size 5 mm / US 8, and continue with A.1 (on 3rd row in A.1 work last st before band sts in stockinette st). When A.1 has been worked vertically, switch to circular needle size 4.5 mm / US 7. Work 2 ridges while AT THE SAME TIME on first round inc 8-10-10-16-22-28 sts evenly = 225-245-265-285-317-345 sts. Now continue on circular needle size 5 mm / US 8 as follows: Work the first 34-38-41-45-51-56 sts (= front piece), slip the next 48-50-54-56-60-64 sts on a stitch holder (= sleeve), cast on 8 new sts under sleeve, work the next 61-69-75-83-95-105 sts (= back piece), slip the next 48-50-54-56-60-64 sts on a stitch holder (= sleeve), cast on 8 new sts under sleeve, work the remaining 34-38-41-45-51-56 sts (= front piece).

Body:

There are now 145-161-173-189-213-233 sts for body. Insert a marker in each side of body where new sts were cast on under sleeve (= 4 new sts on each side of marker). MEASURE PIECE FROM HERE. Continue in stockinette st. When piece measures 4 cm / 1½'', dec 1 st on each side of each markers (= 4 sts dec) - READ DECREASE TIP! Repeat dec when piece measures 11-10-9-8-7-6 cm / 4½"-4"-3½"-3"-2 3/4"-2½" = 137-153-165-181-205-225 sts. When piece measures 18-17-16-15-14-13 cm / 7"-6 3/4"-6 1/4"-6"-5½"-5", inc 1 st on each side of each marker - READ INCREASE TIP 2! (= 4 sts inc). Repeat inc every 2-2½-3-3-3½-4 cm / 3/4"-7/8"-1 1/8"-1 1/8"-1 1/4"-1½" 4 more times = 157-173-185-201-225-245 sts. When piece measures 32-33-34-35-36-37 cm / 12½''-13½''-13 3/8''-13¾''-14¼''-14½'', inc 10-8-11-10-14-8 sts evenly = 167-181-196-211-239-253 sts. Switch to circular needle size 4.5 mm / US 7 and work 3 ridges. Bind off.

Sleeve:

Work sleeve in stockinette st in the round on circular needle/double pointed needles. There are 48-50-54-56-60-64 sts for each sleeve. Slip sts from stitch holder back on circular needle/double pointed needles size 5 mm / US 8 and cast on 8 new sts under sleeve = 56-58-62-64-68-72 sts. First work 2 ridges and continue hereafter in stockinette st, AT THE SAME TIME insert a marker in the middle of the new sts under sleeve. NOW MEASURE THE PIECE FROM HERE.
When piece measures 4 cm / 1½'', dec 1 st on each side of marke - READ DECREASE TIP! Repeat dec every 4-3½-3-2½-2½-2 cm / 1½"-1 1/4"-1 1/8"-7/8"-7/8"-3/4" 7-8-9-9-11-12 more times = 40-40-42-44-44-46 sts. When sleeve measures 35-35-35-34-34-34 cm = 13 3/4"-13 3/4"-13 3/4"-13 3/8"-13 3/8"-13 3/8", work 1 ridge over all sts and then work A.1. When A.1 has been worked vertically, switch to double pointed needles size 4.5 mm / US 7 and inc 1-1-3-3-3-3 sts evenly = 41-41-45-47-47-49 sts. Work 2 ridges and bind off, sleeve measures approx. 39-39-39-38-38-38 cm / 15 1/4"-15 1/4"-15 1/4"-15"-15"-15".
Make another sleeve the same way.

Assembly:

Sew the openings under the sleeves. Sew the buttons on to left band.
