RS and WS rows: alt k1, p1 between selvedge sts.

Tension:
32 sts and 36 rows to 10 cm meas over cable-striped patt after blocking using size 4mm needles or size needed to achieve given tension.
28 sts and 36 rows to 10 cm meas over ribbing after blocking (meas stretched, can be stretched a bit more so the sleeves fit closely) using size 3mm needles or size needed to achieve given tension.

Instructions: (changes for larger size are given in brackets. If only one number is given, this applies to both sizes.)
Back:
Using the smaller needles, cast on 154 [168] sts (incl. selvedge sts) and beg with a WS row, work 3 cm (= 11 rows) in ribbing. Change to larger needles and cont in cable stripes. For the side shaping inc 1 st both sides every 20 rows 6 times. To make the incs M1 tbl (or M1 p-wise tbl) in patt next to the selvedge st at the beg or end of row (= 166 [180] sts). When work meas 42 [44] cm (= 151 [159] rows) from beg of cable stripes work the sleeve opening as foll: in every foll row cast off first 4 sts once and 2 sts once, then work full-fashioned decs along the right and left working edges in every alt row 10 times (= 134 [148] sts). When work meas 19 [21] cm from beg of sleeve opening work the shoulder shaping: at the beg of every next row cast off 9 [10] sts twitch and 10 [11] sts twice. Then cast off the rem 58 [64] sts in the next row.
Front:
Work as for back, but with a deeper neck opening beg at 57 [60] cm (= 204 [216] rows) from start of cable stripe patt. cast off the middle 22 [28] sts and divide work. Then along the neckline edge, in every alt row cast off 5 sts once, 4 sts once, 3 sts once, 2 sts once and then 1 st 4 times. Work the shoulder shaping AT THE SAME TIME as for back. Work other side of neck opening the same mirroring the shaping.
Sleeves:
With the smaller needles, cast on 64 [72] sts (incl. selvedge sts) and beg with a WS row, work ribbing according to chart 2. Beg work with the sts in front of the patt rep, then patt rep over 14 sts 4 times and end with the sts after the patt rep and selvedge st. [for size 40/42: 1 selvedge st, 6 st in stockinette st (k sts in RS rows and p sts in WS rows), 2 sts rev stockinette st (p sts in RS rows and k sts in WS rows), patt rep of 14 sts 4 times, then end row with 6 sts in stockinette and 1 selvedge st.] For the side shaping inc 1 st every 8th row 21 [23] times (= 106 [118] sts). Work the incs in ribbing. When work meas total of 51 [53] cm (= 183 [191] sts) work the sleeve cap: at the beg of every foll row cast off 5 sts once, 3 sts once and 2 sts 12 times. In the next row cast off the rem 42 [54] sts in patt.
Work 2nd sleeve the same.
