Cauge_ 18 sts x 28 rows in rib (k3, p2) on 45 mm = 10x10 cm after washing and blocking. Abbreviations_ k= knit P= purl tbl = through the back loop st(s) = stitch(es) tnd{s) = rouna{s) RS = right side WS = wrong side BOR = beginning of the round sllpw wyif = slip 1 stitch purl-wise with yarn held in front of, the work slipw wyib = slip 1 stitch purl-wise with yarn held behind the work edge st = edge stitch (worked knit-wise on the right side and purl-wise on the wrong side) Cables_ When the pattern says eable, you will need to place 3 sts from the left needle onto a cable needle in front of the work, knit 3 sts from the left needle, knit the 3 sts from the cable needle, place 3 sts from the left needle onto a cable needie behind the work, knit 3 sts from the left needle, and knit the 3 sts from the cable needle. Short rows_ Short rows are worked according to the German Short Rows technique. ‘When the pattern says turn, you will need to turn the ‘work and slip the first stitch, Pull the yarn up over the needle and pull on the yarn end, so that you create a double stitch/stitch with 2 “legs”. Hold the yarn tight and continue with working the row as described. When you later come across the double stitch, you will work both “legs” together as one stitch. Increases_ MIL_ knit left-leaning increase - insert the left needle from the front under the strand between the stitches and knit it (through the back loop), MIR_ knit right-leaning increase — insert the left needle from the back under the strand between the stitches and knit it (through the front loop). MIL-P _ purl left-leaning increase — insert the left needle from the front under the strand between the stitches and purl it (through the back loop). MIR-P_ purl right-leaning increase — insert the left needle from the back under the strand between the stitches and purlit (through the front loop) Decreases_ K2tog_ knit right-leaning decrease - knit 2 stitches together. SSK_krit left-leaning decrease - SSK improved - slip the first stitch knit-wise, slip the next stitch purl-wise, insert the left needle through the stitches from left to right and knit them together through the back loops P2tog_purl right-leaning decrease - purl 2 stitches together. P2togtbl_purl left-leaning decrease ~ purl 2 stitches together through the back loops. Back_ The back piece is worked back and forth. Short rows are worked across the upper part to shape the back piece. At the same time, the rib and cable sections are established. Cast 91 (91) 101 (101) TH (IM) sts onto 4.5 mm needles. Now establish the rib and cable sections. Work 1 row from the WS as follows: edge st, "p3, k2", repeat from *-" 2 (2) 3 (3) 4 (4) more times, pI2, k2, 051, k2, pl2, *k2, p3*, repeat from ** 2 (2) 3 (3) 4 (4) more times, edge st.

The edge st and the new sts are worked into the rib pattern (k3, p2).. Work 1 rnd with cables across the cable sections. Continue in the rnd and work cables on every 16th rnd. Work until you have 6 (6) 6 (7) 7 (7) cables mid-front, then work 8 nds, The piece should measure now approx. 45 (45) 46 (51) 52 (52) cm, measured mid-back. Change to 4 mm needles and work 7 cm in twisted rib (kitbl, pl). On the first rnd, the first 2 sts are worked as k2togtbl, to get an even number of sts for the rnd. Work 2 rnds in double knitting as follows: Rnd 1 Work * kitbl, slIpw wyif * repeat from * to * the whole md. Rnd 2_ Work * siipw wyib, p1*, repeat from *to* the whole id. Bind off with Italian bind off. Neckline_ The neckline is worked in the rnd on 4 mm (40 cm) circu- lar needles. Pick 98 (98) 104 (104) 112 (112) sts up along the neckline. Start picking up sts on the left side of the neck on the RS. Sts are picked up in all sts around the neck. Work 9 rnds in twisted rib (kItbl, pl). Work 2 rnds in double knitting as follows: ———_——Rnd 1_ Work * ki, siIpw wyif * repeat from * to* the whole ind. Rnd 2_ Work * siipw wyib, pl *, repeat from * to * the whole rnd. Work 8 rnds in twisted rib (kitbl, p). Now the ribbing edge is falded down and knit to the in. side while also binding sts off, Be careful to not twist the ribbing and bind off loosely so that the neckline does not become too tight. ‘Pick 1 st up from the edge where the sts were picked up and place it onto the left needle and knit the new st to- gether with the first st on the needle, ki, pull the other st on the right needle over the just-knitted st *, Repeat fram *to* the whole rnd. Sleeve_ With 45 mm (40 cm) circular needles, pick sts up from the RS along the armhole. Insert 1 marker at the top of the armhole. Start picking sts up at the bottom of the armhole by picking up in the 2 (3) 2 (3) 3 (2) rib sts at the bottom of the armhole, then pick up 41 (43) 41 (43) 48 (46) sts along the edge to the marker at the top of the armhole, and then 41 (43) 41 (43) 48 (46) sts along the oe to the bottom of the armhole = 84 (89) 84 (89) 99 (94) sts Sizes_XS (-) M (-) - (XXL) Insert 1 marker on each side of the 2 purl sts at the bottom of the armhole. The marker to the right is the BOR marker. Work 1 md and establish the rib and cable pattern as follows: *p2, k3* repeat from * to * until 8 sts before the marker at the top of the armhole, p2, kI2 (cable section), work *p2, k3", repeat from * to * until the BOR. Sizes_- (5) -(L) XL (-) Insert ] marker on each side of the 3 knit sts at the bottom of the armhole, The marker to the right is the BOR, Work 1 md and establish the rib and cable sections as follows: *k3, p2*, repeat from * to * until 6 sts before the marker at the top of the armhole, ki2 (cable section) p2, work *k3, 2", repeat from *to* until BOR. All sizes_Break the yarn. Now work short rows back and forth over the upper part of the sleeve to create more height for the sleeve cap. in the following section, work the sts as they show. Slip sts 6 sts before the marker at the top, from the left needle to the right needle, without working them Join newyarn and work as follows: Row 1 (RS) work 12 sts, turn Row 2_ (WS) work to, and including, where new yar was Joined, work 5 sts, turn Row 3_ (RS) work to the last turn, work the double st, work 5sts, turn Row 4_ (WS) work to the last turn, work the double st, work 5 sts, turn, Repeat rows 3_ and 4_ for 3 (3) 3 (3) 4 (4) more times. Work to the BOR, You have now worked short rows across the sleeve, Remove the marker at the top of the sleeve, Now decreases are worked on the inside and cables are worked on the outside of the sleeve. The first decrease of the rnd is worked knit-wiseif the other st after the marker isa knit-st, and purl-wise if the other st after the marker is a purl-st. The second decreasing tnd is worked knit-wise, if the second last st before the BOR marker is a knit-st, and purl-wise if the second last st before the BOR marker is a purl-st. The rnd with knit-wise decreases are worked as follows work to the marker, slip marker, k2tog, work to 2 sts before BOR marker, SSK. The rnd with the purl-wise decreases are worked as follows: work to the marker, slip marker, p2tog, work to 2 sts before BOR marker, p2totgtbl. Work 3 rnds as the sts show. Work 1nd with decreases as described above, as well as work cables in the cable section, Afterwards, work decreases every 4th md 9 (9) 4 (4) 9(9) times, and work cables in the cable section every 16" rnd. You have worked 20 (20) 10 (10) 20 (20) decreases = 64 (69) 74 (79) 79 (74) sts. Continue in the rnd until you have 6 (6) 6 (6) 5 (5) cables for the sleeve, then work 8 rnds, The sleeve now measures approx. 37 (37) 37 (37) 32 (32) cm, measured from the outside of the sleeve. ifyou want extra sleeve length, continue up to, and including, the next cable, followed by 8 nds, Change to 4 mm needles and work 9 cm in twisted rib {kitbl, pl). On the first rmd for size - (S) - (L} XL (XXL) work the first 2 sts together thi, to get an even number of sts, Work 2 rnds in double knitting as follows: Rnd 1_ Work *kitbl, slipw wyif*, repeat from * to * the whole rnd, Rnd 2_ Work”* siipw wyib, p1*, repeat from * to * the whole rnd.
