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.
