EXPLANATION FOR THE PATTERN:

----------------------------------------------------------

PATTERN:
See diagram A.1.

RAGLAN:
Increase 1 stitch on each side of marker thread as follows: Work until 2 stitches remain before marker thread, 1 yarn over, knit 4 (marker thread is in the middle of these stitches), 1 yarn over. Increase like this at all marker threads on round (8 stitches increased on round). On next round knit yarn overs twisted to avoid holes.

DECREASE TIP (applies to mid under sleeve):
Begin 3 stitches before marker thread, knit 2 together, knit 2 (marker thread is in the middle of these stitches), slip 1 stitch knitwise, knit 1, pass slipped stitch over stitch worked (2 stitches decreased).

START THE PIECE HERE:

----------------------------------------------------------

JUMPER - SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE:
Work yoke in the round on circular needle, top down. Then divide the piece, and work the body in the round on circular needle. Work sleeves in the round on double pointed needles/a short circular needle.

YOKE:
Cast on 114-120-126-132-138-144 stitches on circular needle size 3.5 mm with DROPS Muskat. Knit 1 round. Then work pattern according to diagram A.1 - round begins mid back. When you have been worked to and with the round marked with arrow in diagram, switch to circular needle size 4 mm. REMEMBER THE KNITTING TENSION! Continue to work until A.1 has been worked vertically = 228-240-252-264-276-288 stitches on round.
Work 2 rounds in stocking stitch and increase 2-8-16-24-20-34 stitches evenly on last round = 230-248-268-288-296-322 stitches.
Insert 4 marker threads in the piece without working as follows: Insert 1st marker thread after 34-36-39-43-46-51 stitches (half back piece), 2nd marker thread after 47-52-56-58-56-59 stitches (sleeve), 3rd marker thread after 68-72-78-86-92-102 stitches (front piece), and 4th marker thread after 47-52-56-58-56-59 stitches (sleeve). There are 34-36-39-43-46-51 stitches until 1st marker thread (half back piece). Continue in stocking stitch and on next round begin increase for RAGLAN - read explanation above.
Increase like this every 4th round 6-8-9-10-12-13 times in total = 278-312-340-368-392-426 stitches. Continue with stocking stitch without increases until piece measures 23-24-25-26-28-30 cm from cast-on edge.
Work as follows from beginning of round: Knit 40-44-48-53-58-64, slip the next 59-68-74-78-80-85 stitches on a thread for sleeve, cast on 8-8-10-10-12-12 stitches on needle, knit 80-88-96-106-116-128, slip the next 59-68-74-78-80-85 stitches on a thread for sleeve, cast on 8-8-10-10-12-12 stitches on needle and knit 40-44-48-53-58-64.
Then work body and sleeves separately and measure the piece from here!

BODY:
= 176-192-212-232-256-280 stitches. Work stocking stitch in the round until piece measures 14-15-16-17-17-17 cm from division. Knit 2 rounds and on first round increase 19-21-22-23-23-23 stitches evenly = 195-213-234-255-279-303 stitches. Switch to circular needle size 3.5 mm. Work rib in the round = knit 1/purl 2 for 4 cm. Loosely cast off. Jumper measures approx. 44-46-48-50-52-54 cm from shoulder and down.

SLEEVE:
Slip the 59-68-74-78-80-85 stitches from thread in one side on double pointed needles/circular needle size 4 mm. Pick in addition up 1 stitch in each of the 8-8-10-10-12-12 stitches cast on under sleeve = 67-76-84-88-92-97 stitches. Insert 1 marker thread in the middle of the new stitches under the sleeve. Work in stocking stitch in the round. When piece measures 1 cm from division, decrease 2 stitches mid under sleeve - read DECREASE TIP. Decrease like this approx. every 1½-1½-1-1-1½-2 cm 4-5-6-5-4-3 times in total = 59-66-72-78-84-91 stitches. Work until sleeve measures approx. 8-8-7-7-7-6 cm from division. Knit 1 round and increase 10-9-12-12-12-14 stitches evenly = 69-75-84-90-96-105 stitches. Switch to double pointed needles size 3.5 mm. Work rib (knit 1/purl 2) for 2 cm. Loosely cast off. Sleeve measures approx. 10-10-9-9-9-8 cm from division.
Work the other sleeve the same way.
