Then, work with the main pattern and increase 5 x 1 st in every 10th row, 6 x 1 st in every 8th row, 1 x 1 st in every 6th row, 1 x 1 st in every 4th row for sleeve shape. Then, increase 1 x 1 st, 1 x 2 sts, 2 x 3 sts, and 4 x 4 sts in every 2nd row (6 x 1 st in every 10th row, 1 x 1 st in every 8th row, 1 x 1 st in every 6th row, 4 x 1 st in every 4th row, then, 3 x 1 st, 1 x 2 sts, 2 x 3 sts, and 4 x 4 sts in every 2nd row) = 121 (129) sts. For smooth rounding, bind off 1 x 1 st along the left side in 52 cm = 136 rows from rib, then, 2 x 1 st in every 8th row, 2 x 1 st in every 6th row, 1 x 1 st in the next 4th row and 2 x 2 sts in every 2nd row, 1 x 3 (4) sts and 1 x 26 (29) sts.

In 135 cm = 352 rows from rib, make rib of the right sleeve, decrease 7 sts in the 1st row = 38 (42) sts. Make 8 cm of rib and bind off the sts.
Assembly
