Hereby casting on 3 st. respectively at the end of the last-but-one and the last row (= 62 (70) st.). Continue in the following manner: 1 edge stitch, 5 M garter stitch (= left panel with button holes, see below), 50 (58) st. in stocking stitch, 5 st. in garter stitch (= right panel), 1 edge stitch. After 2 rows (1. row) between edge stitches for the raglan lines mark the stitches 14. + 15. (16. + 17.) st., the 20. + 21. (22. + 23.) st., the 40. + 41. (46. + 47.) st. as well as the 46. + 47.

Repeat these additions in each 2.row another 17 (20) x (= 206 (238) st.). Now work one more return row in purls and then divide the stitches for fronts, sleeves and back as follows: 1 edge stitch, 5 st. garter stitch, 27 (32) st. stocking stitch (= left front), immobilise the following 42 (48) st. (= left sleeve) and cast on 6 new st. (sleeve saddle). Knit the next 56 (66) st. for the back in stocking stitch, immobilise the following 42 (48) st. (= right sleeve) and once again cast on 6 new st. Now knit another 27 (32) st. stocking stitch and the last 5 st. in garter stitch (= right front), 1 edge stitch (= 134 (154) st. on the needle). Jointly finish the fronts and the back in this apportionment. After 13 (15) cm (= 43 (51) row from this apportionment knit another 9 rows in garter stitch and then cast off the stitches straight, hereby knitting plain stitches.

For the sleeve angle, in the 3. row at the beginning of the row after the edge stitch, knit the 2. and 3. st. together in plain slip st. (= slip over 1 st. in plain, knit 1 M plain, then slip the slipped st. over the knitted st.), knit until 4 st. before the end of the row, knit next 2 st. together in plain st., 1 st. plain, 1 edge stitch. Repeat these decreases in each 6. row for another 6 (7) x (= 36 (40) st.).

Repeat this cast off in every 2. row until only 12 st. remain. Pull these 12 stitches together with the working yarn.
