BODY:
Worked in the round on circular needle. Cast on 108-116-124-136-152-168 sts on circular
needle size 8 mm / US 11 with Alpaca Bouclé. Work 2 ridges in GARTER ST - see explanation
above. Then work in stockinette st. When piece measures 14-15-16-17-18-19 cm /
5½"-6"-6¼"-6¾"-7"-7½", insert a marker in the piece, AT THE SAME TIME work as follows:
Work 1 st in stockinette st, A.1a (= 8 sts), 36-40-44-50-58-66 sts in stockinette st, A.2a (= 8
sts), 1 st in stockinette st (= back piece), insert 1 marker, 1 st in stockinette st, A.1a (= 8 sts),
36-40-44-50-58-66 sts in stockinette st, A.2a (= 8 sts), 1 st in stockinette st (= front piece).
NOTE: Diagrams A.1a/A.2a are displaced 1 st towards mid front and mid back every other
round. Continue pattern like this. When A.1a and A.2a have been worked 1 time vertically, work
A.1b instead of A.1a and A.2b instead of A.2a. Diagrams A.1b and A.2b are repeated until
finished measurements, AT THE SAME TIME continue eyelet rows already begun. When piece
measures 21-22-23-24-25-26 cm / 8¼"-8¾"-9"-9½"-9¾"-10¼", finish each part separately.
Now divide the piece between each marker.
BACK PIECE:
= 54-58-62-68-76-84 sts. Work A.1/A.2 and in stockinette st as before AT THE SAME TIME cast
on 3 sts in each side of piece at the end of the next 2 rows = 60-64-68-74-82-90 sts on needle.
Work the 3 new sts in each side of piece in GARTER ST - see explanation above, until finished
measurements. When piece measures 27-29-30-32-33-35 cm /
10½"-11½"-11¾"-12½"-13"-13¾" (adjust so that next row is from RS), work 3 ridges over the
middle 24-24-24-26-26-26 sts (= 18-20-22-24-28-32 sts in each side in stockinette st, A.1/A.2
and edge sts as before). On next row from RS bind off the middle 18-18-18-20-20-20 sts for
neck (= 21-23-25-27-31-35 sts remain on each shoulder). Now finish each shoulder separately.
Continue in garter st over the 3 sts towards the neck and edge, stockinette st and A.1/A.2 as
before AT THE SAME TIME on next row from RS dec 1 st after/before the 3 sts in garter st in the
neck – see DECREASE TIP. Repeat dec 1 more time (= 2 times in total) = 19-21-23-25-29-33
sts remain on needle. Work as before until piece measures 38-40-42-44-46-48 cm /
15"-15¾"-16½"-17¼"-18"-19". Bind off.
FRONT PIECE:
Work front piece as back piece until piece measures 23-25-26-28-29-31 cm /
9"-9¾"-10¼"-11"-11½"-12¼" (adjust so that next row is from RS). Work 3 ridges over the
middle 18 sts (= 21-23-25-28-32-36 sts in each side), in stockinette st and A1/A.2 and edge sts
as before. On next row from RS bind off for neck as follows: bind off the middle 12 sts (= 24-26-
28-31-35-39 sts on each shoulder). Now finish each shoulder separately. Continue in garter st
over the 3 sts towards the neck and edge, stockinette st and A.1/A.2 as before AT THE SAME
TIME on next row from RS dec 1 st after the 3 sts in garter st in the neck – see DECREASE TIP.
Repeat dec on every row from RS 4-4-4-5-5-5 more times = 19-21-23-25-29-33 sts remain on
needle. Work as before until piece measures 38-40-42-44-46-48 cm /
15"-15¾"-16½"-17¼"-18"-19". Bind off.
