AT THE SAME TIME on 1st round, inc 1 st on each side of the 4 markers for raglan (= 8 inc) - SEE INCREASE TIP! Repeat inc every round a total of 5-5-5-6-5 times and then every other round 10-11-12-13-15 times = 196-208-220-240-252 sts on needle. Then continue in stocking st and diagram M.1 until finished measurements. Now insert 4 new markers (for raglan) as follows: Work 13-14-15-16-17 sts from marker mid back, insert 1st marker here (at the same time remove marker mid back), work 12 sts more (= sleeve), insert 2nd marker, work 26-28-30-32-34 sts (= front piece) and insert 3rd marker, work 12 sts (= sleeve), insert 4th marker and work until 1st marker again (there are 26-28-30-32-34 sts between markers on back piece). Switch to circular needle size 4.5 mm and work 1 round in stocking st while at the same time inc 4 sts evenly = 76-80-84-88-92 sts. Then work an elevation in back of neck as follows (continue in rib): Work 8 sts past marker, turn, tighten thread and work 16 sts back, turn, tighten thread and work 24 sts, turn, continue by working 8 sts more on every turn until a total of 48-48-48-64-64 sts have been worked, turn and work 1 round until marker mid back again.

Switch to off white and work rib = K 2/P 2 for 3 cm. work in back loop of st instead of front).Ĭast on 72-76-80-84-88 sts on a short circular needle size 3.5 mm with red, insert a marker at beg of round (= mid back). Work until 2 sts remain before marker, K 2 tog, marker, K 2 twisted tog (i.e.

See diagram M.1 - all rows in pattern are worked in stocking st.ĭECREASE TIP (applies to body and sleeves): work in back loop of st instead of front) to avoid holes. Work until 2 sts remain before marker: Make 1 YO, K 4 sts (marker is in the middle of these sts), make 1 YO.
