Dec as follows from the wrong side: Start and finish the row with P2 tog. By the 3 other marking threads dec as follows (start 3 sts before marking thread): P2 tog into back of st, P2, P2 tog.
Front and back piece: Cast on 126-138-156 (168-186) sts on circular needle size 2.5mm with camel. Knit 3 cm Rib. Change to needle size 3mm and knit 1 round with camel. Continue in stripes according to M.1 – see explanation above. When piece measures approx 16-17-20 (23-25) cm (adjust so that there is 1 round left of a whole stripe) knit next round as follows: Cast off 8 sts for armhole, knit 55-61-70 (76-85) sts (= front piece), cast off 8 sts for armhole, knit 55-61-70 (76-85) sts (= back piece). Put the piece aside and knit the sleeves.
Sleeve: Knit round on double pointed needles size 2.5mm. Cast on 36-42-42 (48-48) sts with camel. Knit 3 cm Rib (= turn-up). Insert a marking thread and measure piece from here from now on. Knit another 3 cm Rib. Change to needle size 3mm, knit 1 round with camel and continue in stripes according to M.1. At the same time, when sleeve measures 5 cm inc 2 sts mid under arm a total of 6-5-8 (7-9) times on every 2-3-2 (3-2.5) cm = 48-52-58 (62-66) sts. When sleeve measures 17-19-22 (25-29) cast off 8 sts mid under arm (adjust to last row in a stripe) = 40-44-50 (54-58) sts. Put the piece aside and knit the other sleeve.
Yoke: Put sleeves in on the same needle as back and front pieces where you cast off for armholes = 190-210-240 (260-286) sts. Insert a marking thread in all transitions between body pieces and sleeves = 4 marking threads. Knit back and forth on needle, starting by the right raglan seam and start by dec 3 sts on each side of this marking thread. Continue in M.1 following on from the stripe pattern on front and back pieces. At the same time, dec for raglan – see Decreasing tip – on every other row: 14-16-18 (20-22) times.

Repeat along raglan opening on front piece, but after 2 rows make 3 buttonholes evenly distributed (there will be a buttonhole on neckline as well). 1 buttonhole = cast off 2 sts and cast on 2 new sts on next row.
Neck: Put sts from thread on neck back on double pointed needles size 2.5mm and pick up 7-8-7 (8-6) sts on each raglan edge with camel = 86-92-104 (110-116) sts.
