Instructions

Back

Cast on 101 sts and make 2 cm of 1 x 1 rib, increase 1 st in the last row. Continue work according to the scheme 4.1 for 10 pattern repeats.

Front

Make in the same way as back, but for the neck-hole, slip the central 24 sts at 39.5 cm height from the beginning of work and finish both sides separately. For smooth rounding, work with short rows from inwards, bind off 3 x 4 sts and 4 x 3 sts in every 2^nd row, and make yarn over when you turn. At 45 cm from the beginning of work, leave the remaining 72 sts.

Sleeves

Cast on 51 sts and make 2 cm of rib, increase 1 st in the last WS row. Continue work according to scheme 4.1 (= 5 pattern repeats). For sleeve chamfers, increase 1 st from both sides, 10 x 1 st in every 8^th row, and 5 x 1 st in every 6^th row = 82 sts, including the increased sts in the pattern. At 39 cm height from the beginning of work, make raglan chamfers in the same way as for back. At 47 cm height from the beginning of work, leave the remaining 52 sts.

Yoke

Transfer the previously left sts of sleeve, front, another sleeve, and back, and make 1 row of purls. Decrease 6 sts at back and front in the same row (= 65 sts). Knit around on the remaining 234 sts with pattern according to scheme 4.2, divide the sts in the following way: 4 pattern repeats on each sleeve, 5 pattern repeats on back and front (each). At 10 cm height, leave the central 19 sts and bind off 2 x 4 sts, 2 x 2 sts, and 2 x 1 st in every 2^nd row for smooth rounding, making yarn over at every turn. At 15 cm height of back, decrease every 6^th st and work with rib on all the sts of placket, making yarn overs together with the next or previous st as purl2tog. At 2 cm height, bind off all the sts according to the pattern.

Assembly

Make side and sleeve seams, and also raglan line seams.
