Instructions

Back

Cast on 86 (92) 98 sts and make 6 cm of rib, increase 7 (8) 9 sts in the last row = 93 (100) 107 sts. Then, work with relief pattern with cables. At the same time from rib, increase 3 x 1 st of wrong-side pattern in every 18^th row from both sides for side chamfers = 99 (106) 113 sts. In 27,5 cm = 72 rows (26 cm = 68 rows) 24,5 cm = 64 rows form rib, bind off 3 sts from both sides for arm-holes and 4 x 2 sts, 1 x 1 stin every 2^nd row = 75 (82) 89 sts. In 44 cm = 114 rows from rib, bind off the central 31 (32) 33 sts for neck-hole and finish both sides separately. For smooth rounding, bind off 2 x 2 sts in every 2^nd row. In 46 cm = 120 rows from rib, bind off the rest 18 (21) 24 sts of shoulder from each side.

Front

Make in the same way, as for back, but with deeper neck-hole. For this, bind off the central 19 (20) 21 sts in 39 cm = 102 rows from rib and 4 x 2 sts, 2 x 1 st in every 2^nd row from inwards.

Sleeves

Cast on 56 (62) 68 sts and make 6 cm of rib, increase 16 (17) 18 sts in the last WS row = 72 (79) 86 sts. Then, work with relief pattern with cables. At the same time from rib, increase 7 x 1 st in every 4^th row from both sides for sleeve chamfers = 86 (93) 100 sts, include the increased sts in the pattern. In 11,5 cm = 30 rows from rib, bind off 3 sts from both sides for sleeve caps and 14 x 2 sts in every 2^nd row. In 23 cm = 60 rows from rib, bind off the rest 24 (31) 38 sts.

Assembly
