Knitting tip: If your knitting tension doesn’t fit vertically (i.e. too tight) the raglan will be too short and the armhole too small. You may compensate for this by working random rows without dec in between rows with dec.

Decreasing tip (applies to raglan):
Make all dec from RS!
Beg 2 sts before MT: K2 tog, MT, slip 1 st as if to K, K1, psso.

Back and front piece: Knitted back and forth on circular needle from mid front. Cast on 225-250-275-300-325-350 sts (incl 8 front band sts each side) on circular needle size 4 mm and work 4 rows garter st. Work next row as follows from RS: 8 garter sts (front band), 9 stocking sts, *M.1 (=16 sts), 9 stocking sts*, repeat from *-* a total of 8-9-10-11-12-13 times and finish with 8 garter sts (front band). Remember the knitting tension! When piece measures 8 cm dec 1 st in each stocking st section on every 6.5-7-7-7.5-8-8 cm a total of 4 times = 189-210-231-252-273-294 sts (dec at the beg and the end of section alternately by K tog the 2 first/last sts) When piece measures 36-37-38-39-40-41 cm change to circular needle 3 mm and work garter st on all sts until finished measurements. Remember buttonholes on right front band! Insert 2 MT in piece 51-57-62-67-72-78 sts in from each side (back piece = 87-96-107-118-129-138 sts). When piece measures 37-38-39-40-41-42 and 40-41-42-43-44-45 cm inc 1 st on each side of both MT = 197-218-239-260-281-302 sts. When piece measures 42-43-44-45-46-47 cm cast off 8 sts each side for armhole (4 sts on each side of MT) = 181-202-223-244-265-286 sts. Put piece aside and knit the sleeves.

Sleeve: Worked in the round on double pointed needles. Cast on 53-57-62-66-70-76 sts on double pointed needles size 3 mm and work garter st. When piece measures 4 cm inc 10 sts evenly on round = 63-67-72-76-80-86 sts. On next round cast off 8 sts mid under sleeve = 55-59-64-68-72-78 sts. Knit the other sleeve.

Yoke: See Knitting tip! Put sleeves in on circular needle where cast off for armholes = 291-320-351-380-409-442 sts. Insert a MT in all transitions between body piece and sleeves = 4 MT. Continue in garter st, at the same time dec for raglan – see Decreasing tip.
Dec on every other row 11-13-15-17-19-23 times and then on every 4th row 11-11-11-11-11-10 times = 115-128-143-156-169-178 sts. Work 1 row garter st, at the same time dec 9-15-26-35-42-49 sts evenly = 106-113-117-121-127-129 sts. Cast off.
