Gauge: 15 sts x 22 rows on larger needles in stockinette st = 10 x 10 cm [4" x 4"].

Rib-1: * K 3, P 1 *, repeat from * - *.
Rib-2: * K 6, P 1 *, repeat from * - *.

Right side: Cast on 63-70-77 sts on double pointed needles with 1 strand Paris + 1 strand Cotton Viscose (= 2 strands); join and place a marker at the join. Knit Rib-2. When the work measures 5 cm [2"], dec 9-10-11 sts evenly distributed on the row as follows: * K 4, K 2 tog, P 1 * , repeat from * - * for the rest of the row = 54-60-66 sts.
When the work measures 10 cm [4"], dec 9-10-11 sts evenly distributed on the row as follows: * slip 1, K 1, pass the slipped st over (psso), K 3, P 1 * , repeat from * - * for the rest of the row = 45-50-55 sts.
When the work measures 15 cm [5-7/8"], dec 9-10-11 sts evenly distributed on the row as follows: * K 2, K 2 tog, P 1 * , repeat from * - * for the rest of the row = 36-40-44 sts. Knit Rib-1.
When the work measures 18-18-18 cm [7"], inc 1 st each side of marker (inside of 1 purl st) 10-10-10 times every 3.5-3.5-3.5 cm [1-3/8"] = 56-60-64 sts. Knit the increased sts into Rib-1 as you go along. When the work measures 54-53-54 cm [21.25" - 20-7/8" - 21.25"], divide it in the center and knit the rest back and forth -- measure the work from here.
After dividing, bind off on the right side of the work (= the front); and at the same time, inc on the left side of the work (= the back). Bind off every other row on the right side: 2 sts 5-6-6 times, then dec 1 st 14-14-16 times, and inc 1 st every other row on the left side 10-12-12 times - the increased sts are knit into Rib-1 as you go along.
After all decs at the front and incs at the back are complete, 42-46-48 sts remain on the needles. When the work measures 18-20-20 cm [7" - 7-7/8" - 7-7/8"], put 8 sts on a st holder from the lower edge of the back up toward the back of the neck every other row 4 times = 10-14-16 sts remain on the needles.
The shrug has now been knit to the center of the back (halfway); now knit the other half with opposite decreasing and increasing as follows: after the last 8 sts have been put on the st holder, work 1 row before putting 8 sts on the st holder back on the needles every row 4 times = 42-46-48 sts on the needles. When the work measures 29-30-31 cm [11-3/8" - 11.75" - 12.25"], from the dividing underneath the sleeve and up to the back of the neck (where sts have not been put on a st holder) inc 1 st every other row on the right side/front 14-14-16 times, then 2 sts 5-6-6 times. At the same time, after 9-8-10 incs on the right side/front, dec 1 st every other row on the left side/back 10-12-12 times.
After all incs at the front and decs at the back are complete, 56-60-64 sts remain on the needles. Change to double pointed needles; join and place a marker at the join. Measure the work from here. At the same time, when the work measures 3.5 cm [1-3/8"] (from the marker), dec 1 st each side of marker at each side of 1 purl st 10-10-10 times every 3.5-3.5-3.5 cm [1-3/8"] = 36-40-44 sts.
When the work measures 39-38-39 cm [15.25" - 14-7/8" - 15.25"], inc 9-10-11 sts evenly distributed on the row as follows: * K 2, K 2 sts into the next st, P 1 *, repeat from * - * for the rest of the row = 45-50-55 sts. When the work measures 45 cm [17.75"], inc 9-10-11 sts evenly distributed on the row as follows: * K 2 sts into the next st, K 3, P 1 *, repeat from * - * for the rest of the row = 54-60-66 sts.
When the work measures 50 cm [19.75"], inc 9-10-11 sts evenly distributed on the row as follows: K 4, K 2 sts into the next st, P 1 *, repeat from * - * for the rest of the row = 63-70-77 sts. Continue by knitting Rib-2 until the work measures 54-53-54 cm [21.25" - 20-7/8" - 21.25"], bind off.

Assembly: Pick up approx. 140-156 sts (divisible by 4) around neck/sleeve-opening on larger circular needles with 1 strand Paris and 1 strand Cotton Viscose. Purl 1 row; continue with K 2, P 2. When the edge measures 4 cm [1.5"], inc on the next row as follows: * K 1, K 2 sts into the next st, P 2 *, repeat from * - *. Bind off when the edge measures 8 cm [3-1/8"].
