INFORMATION FOR THE PATTERN:
INCREASE TIP (sleeve):
Work until 1 st remains before marker, 1 YO, knit 2 sts (the marker sits between these 2 sts), 1 YO. On next round knit yarn overs twisted to avoid holes.

SLEEVE:
The sleeves are worked in the round.
Cast on 28-28-30-30-32-32 stitches with double pointed needles size 4.5 mm and medium grey Air or grey Nepal. Insert 1 marker thread at the beginning of the round = mid under sleeve. Work rib (knit 1, purl 1) until piece measures 4 cm, change to circular needle size 5.5 mm and then work stocking stitch. When piece measures 6 cm increase 2 stitches mid under sleeve – read INCREASE TIP. Increase in this way every 4-4-4-4-4-4 cm a total of 5-7-7-9-10-11 times = 38-42-44-48-52-54 stitches. When piece measures 27-32-36-40-44-48 cm loosely cast off. Work another sleeve in the same way.

Adult jumper

Sizes: S - M - L - XL - XXL - XXXL

INFORMATION FOR THE PATTERN:
INCREASE TIP (raglan):
All increases are worked from the right side!
Work 1 edge stitch in garter stitch, knit 1, 1 yarn over, work until there are 2 stitches left, 1 yarn over, knit 1, 1 edge stitch in garter stitch. On the next row, purl the yarn overs - to leave holes.

DECREASE TIP (for sleeves):
All decreases are worked from the right side!
Decrease as follows after the 1 edge stitch: Slip 1 stitch as if to knit, knit 1, pass the slipped stitch over the knitted stitch.
Decrease as follows before the 1 edge stitch: Start 2 stitches before the edge stitch and knit 2 together.

SLEEVE:
Sleeves are worked back and forth separately top down.

Cast on 10-12-12-12-10-8 stitches (including 1 edge stitch in garter stitch in each side) with circular needle size 8 mm and medium grey. Purl 1 row from the wrong side. Then work stocking stitch. On the next row increase 1 stitch in each side - remember INCREASE TIP (raglan)! Increase in this way every 2nd row a total of 13-14-15-16-17-19 times = 36-40-42-44-44-46 stitches. Work 4-4-4-2-2-2 rows without increases. The piece measures approx. 20-21-23-23-24-27 cm. THE PIECE IS NOW MEASURED FROM HERE!

Then cast on 2-2-3-3-4-4 new stitches for armholes at the end of the next 2 rows = 40-44-48-50-52-54 stitches. Continue with stocking stitch with 1 edge stitch in garter stitch in each side. When the piece measures 2 cm decrease 1 stitch in each side - read DECREASE TIP above. Decrease in this way every 7-5-4-3½-3½-3 cm a total of 6-8-9-10-10-11 times = 28-28-30-30-32-32 stitches. Continue until the piece measures 41-40-39-39-39-37 cm (shorter measurements in larger sizes because of wider neck and longer yoke). Change to circular needle size 7 mm and work 1 row stocking stitch where you increase 2-2-0-0-2-2 stitches evenly on row = 30-30-30-30-34-34 stitches. Then work as follows: 1 edge stitch in garter stitch, work A.1 (= 4 stitches) until there is 1 stitch left, work 1 edge stitch in garter stitch. Work in this way for 4 cm. Cast off with knit over knit and purl over purl - make sure the cast-off edge is not tight. Work one more sleeve in the same way.
