Size: Women’s EU size 36/38 [40/42]

Usage: approx. 750 [800] g in col. 16 (burgundy red)

Needles:
1 pair of circular needles in size 3,0 - 3,5mm and 3,5 - 4,0mm or size needed to achieve given tension.
1 set of double pointed needles (dpns) in size 3,0 - 3,5mm or size needed to achieve given tension.

Pattern:
Ribbing:
In rows: RS rows: between the selvedge sts alt k2, p2. WS rows: work the sts as they appear (k the knit sts and p the purl sts)
In rnds: alt k2, p2
Double seed st:
Row 1: (= RS): alt k1, p1 between selvedge sts.
Row 2 and all foll WS rows: work the sts as they appear.
Row 3: alt p1, k1 between the selvedge sts.
These 4 rows establish the patt. Rep rows 1 - 4 throughout.
Cable patt:
Work as shown in chart. Only the RS rows are shown. Work the sts in the WS rows as they appear. Work the patt rep over 24 sts as given in instructions and beg with 3 sts before the patt rep and end with the 2 sts after the patt rep. Rep rows 1 - 12 cont. throughout.
Slipped garter st selvedge: (all rows RS and WS): sl first st k-wise, work to last st in patt, k1.

Tension:
26 sts and 35 rows/rnds to 10 cm meas slightly stretched over ribbing using size 3mm needles or size needed to achieve given tension.
24 sts and 32 rows to 10 cm meas over double seed stitch using size 4mm needles or size needed to achieve given tension.
Patt rep in cable patt using size 4mm needles or size needed meas slightly stretched over 24 st rep = 8 cm

Instructions: (Changes for larger size in brackets. If only one number is shown this applies to both sizes)
Back:
Using smaller needles, cast on122 [130] sts (including selvedge sts) and beg with a WS row work in ribbing and divide work as foll: selvedge st, p1, *k2, p2 rep from * to last 4 sts then k2, p1, selvedge st.
Work 18 cm (= 63 rows) in ribbing, then change to larger needles and cont in double seed st.When work meas 38 [36] cm (= row 122 [116]) from beg of double seed st, place a marker on both edges to mark the sleeve placement. Work straight until 53 cm (= row 168) from beg of double seed st change again to smaller needles and finish with ribbing: selvedge st, p1, * k2, p2, rep from * to last 4 sts, then k2, p1, 1 selvedge st. AND in this row inc 8 sts evenly along row (= 130 [138] sts). Work ribbing for 3 cm (= 12 rows) then beg with shoulder shaping: cast off at beg of every foll row 6 sts 4 [12] times and 5 sts 10 [2] times (= 56 sts). Next row: place all sts on holder.
Front:
Using smaller needles, cast on122 [130] sts (including selvedge sts) and beg with a WS row work in ribbing and divide work as foll: selvedge st, p1, *k2, p2 rep from * to last 4 sts then k2, p1, selvedge st.
Work 18 cm (= 63 rows) in ribbing, then change to larger needles and cont in double seed st and cable patt as foll:.
Next row: 1 selvedge st, 10 [14] sts in double seed st patt, 125 sts in cable patt (3 sts before the patt rep (= p1, k2), patt rep 5 times (= 24 sts), 2 sts after the patt rep (= k1, p1), 10 [14] sts in double seed st, 1 selvedge st. In this row you will inc 25 sts ( 5 sts per patt rep) as shown in chart. = 147 [155] sts.
When work meas 38 [36] cm (= row 122 [116]) from beg of double seed st/ cable patt, place a marker on both edges to mark the sleeve placement. Work straight until 53 cm (= row 168) ending with 12th row of patt then change again to smaller needles and finish with ribbing: selvedge st, p1, * k2, p2, rep from * to last 4 sts, then k2, p1, 1 selvedge st. Over the cable patt dec 17 sts ( 17 x k2tog) evenly along row (= 130 [138] sts). Work ribbing for 3 cm (= 12 rows) then beg with shoulder shaping: cast off at beg of every foll row 6 sts 4 [12] times and 5 sts 10 [2] times (= 56 sts). Next row: place all sts on holder.
Sleeves: (work 2 alike)
Using smaller needles cast on 62 [66] sts (including selvedge sts) and beg with a WS row divide sts as foll:
1 selvedge st, * k2, p2, rep from * to last 4 sts then k2, p1, 1 selvedge st.
Work even for 16 cm (= 55 rows) then change to larger needles and cont over double seed st. For the side shaping inc 1 st each side in every alt 6th and 8th row 13 [15 times in every 6th row] = 88 [96] sts. Then work even until piece meas 30 cm (= 96 rows) from beg of double seed st patt.
Next row: cast off all sts in patt.
Finishing:
Close shoulder seams. For the stand-up collar divide the sts evenly from both holders (= 112 sts) onto 4 dpns (4 x 28 sts) and work ribbing in rnds. When collar meas 8 cm (= 28 rnds) cast off all sts in patt.
Sew in sleeves and close side and sleeve seams. Weave in ends.
