FINAL RESULT

PATTERN:

For a size M

Front

Cast on 130 stitches, work 8 rows in elastic stitch, then switch to stockinette stitch, working 4 rows of each color. At 42 cm, shape the armhole. Decrease 3 stitches on each side, then 3 stitches again, and finally 1 stitch. Continue until 23 cm from the armhole. Begin shaping the shoulders and neckline simultaneously. The shoulder shaping will be 7-7-7-7 and the neckline shaping will be 12 central stitches, then 8 stitches, 6 stitches, and 2 stitches on both sides.

Back

Cast on 142 stitches and work the rest the same as the front, except for the armhole which will have 3 fewer stitches decreased on each side.

Sleeve

Cast on 54 stitches, work 8 rows in elastic stitch and start with the stripes. The sleeve to the armhole measures 50 cm and 18 stitches should be increased evenly along its length on each side.

For the armhole and sleeve cap, first bind off 4 stitches on each side, then 1 stitch 14 times; 2 stitches 6 times; 4 stitches 2 times.

Then, bind off all remaining stitches at once.

Assembly and finishing

Make the neckband separately. Pick up the stitches from one side and then the other, sewing it on at the same time as the shoulders.

Sew the sides and attach the sleeves once they are sewn.
