SLEEVE GUSSET:
Work a piece with dc shaped as a gusset to be sewn under sleeve so it is wider at the top than the at bottom. Replace first dc on every row with 3 ch.

Distribute the remaining 40-40-40-60-60 squares for 2 sleeves, with 20-20-20-30-30 squares on each sleeve.
In the 3 smallest sizes there should be 4 x 5 squares and in the 2 largest sizes there should be 6 x 5 squares - there are 5 squares vertically in all sizes.
Sew the squares tog edge to edge with off white.

Then sew the side seams and shoulder seams the same way – NOTE: In sizes M and XXL there is 1 row with squares in the middle of each side under armhole, in sizes L/XL and XXXL there are 2 rows with squares in each side under armhole.

Work around the entire jacket with off white as follows (beg mid back of neck): 1 sc in 1 ch at the edge of 1 square, ch 3 and 2 dc in same ch, * ch 1, 3 dc in next ch *, repeat from *-*.
