PATTERN:
See diagram M.1, M.2 and M.3 - diagrams show 1 pattern repeat from RS.
GARTER ST (in the round): K 1 round, P 1 round.
INCREASING TIP (applies to after M.1 and M.2):
Inc 1 st by each marker per inc (i.e. inc 10 sts per round) inc alternately to the left and to the right of all
markers by making 1 YO on next round work YO into back of loop to avoid a hole.
-------------------------------------------------------BODY PIECE:
Worked in the round as a circle from mid back.
Cast on 10 sts with Nepal and distribute them on 4 double pointed needles size 5 mm. Insert a marker at
beg of round = mid piece towards the neck. Continue as follows in the round: M.1, M.2, M.2, M.2 and M.1 (=
a total of 5 repeats across the round). Change to circular needle as you inc sts. REMEMBER THE KNITTING
TENSION!
When M.1/M.2 is complete piece measures approx 19 cm from the middle and there are 210 sts on needle.
Now insert a marker in each of the 5 stocking sts in the middle of pattern repeat (the inc were made each
side of this st), and a marker in st mid between the first 5 markers (= a total of 10 markers).
READ ALL OF THE FOLLOWING SECTION BEFORE CONTINUING!
PATTERN: Continue in GARTER ST see above at the same time on first round after M.1/M.2 inc by all
markers - SEE INCREASING TIP - and repeat the inc on every 4th round as you go along.
ARMHOLE: At the same time after 2-6-10-14 rows garter st (= 220-230-240-250 sts on needle) work next
round as follows (this is a round without inc): Work 25-27-29-31 sts, cast off 32-34-37-40 sts (=
armhole), work 106-108-108-108 sts, cast off 32-34-37-40 sts (= armhole) and work 25-27-29-31 sts.
On next round cast on 32-34-37-40 new sts over each armhole.
Continue and inc as before until there is a total of 480-520-560-600 sts on needle piece now measures
approx 50-55-60-65 cm from the middle, finish after a P round and cast off LOOSELY with K sts.
SLEEVE:
Worked back and forth on needle.
Cast on 45-47-49-51 sts (includes 1 edge st each side) on needle size 5 mm with Nepal, K 6 rows (first row
= WS). Continue as follows (first row = WS): 1 edge st, 19-20-21-22 sts in reverse stocking st , M.3, 19-2021-22 sts in reverse stocking st and 1 edge st. Continue in pattern like this. After M.3 continue in reverse
stocking st on all sts. AT THE SAME TIME when piece measures 20 cm inc 1 st each side, repeat the inc on
every 4-3.5-3-2.5 cm a total of 8-9-11-13 times = 61-65-71-77 sts. When piece measures 52 cm for all
sizes cast off for sleeve cap at beg at beg of every row each side: 4 sts 1 time, then 2 sts each side until piece
measures approx 60 cm. Cast off remaining sts.
ASSEMBLY:
Sew sleeve seams inside 1 edge st. Set in sleeves placing the middle of sleeve cap where the distance
between armholes is shortest (i.e. where the first st was cast off on the first armhole and the last st was cast
off on the other sleeve) and with the sleeve seams where the distance between the armholes is longest (i.e.
the opposite side).
