Instructions:

Back/Front:

Cast on 99 (107) 115 sts in a criss-cross way following the patterns order. In 51 cm = 132 rows from the set-up row, bind off 5 sts from both sides for raglan chamfers and 5 (8) 11 x 1 st in every 2^nd row. In 55.5 cm = 144 rows (57.5 cm = 150 rows) 60 cm = 156 rows from the set-up row, bind off the remaining 79 (81) 83 sts.

Sleeves:

Cast on 65 (69) 73 sts using the criss-cross method and work as follows: 1 selvage st, 18 (19) 20 sts of cable B (the last 18 (19) 20 sts according to scheme 1), 6 (7) 8 sts of wrong-side pattern, 15 sts of central pattern, 6 (7) 8 sts of wrong-side pattern, 18 (19) 20 sts of cable A (= the first 18 (19) 20 sts according to scheme 1), 1 selvage st. In 15.5 cm = 40 rows from the set-up row, increase 1 st from both sides for sleeve chamfers and 2 x 1 st in every 20^th row from both sides = 71 (75) 79 sts, including the increased sts in the pattern. In 39.5 cm = 102 rows from the set-up row, make raglan chamfers similar to those on the back.

Yoke:

Knit across. Cast on 28 sts and make cable for yoke between selvage sts. In 11 cm = 288 rows from the set-up row, bind off all the sts.

Assembly:

Make raglan, side, and sleeve seams, then join the yoke seam. Sew the long left edge of the yoke to the neck-hole. Cast on 186 sts along the loose edge of the yoke with circular knitting needles and create a placket with ribbing. At a height of 5.5 cm for the placket, bind off the sts.
