Worked in the round on circular needle from bottom up. Cast on 252-270-288-306-342-378 sts on circular needle size 4 mm with Karisma.
K 1 round, then work PATTERN according to diagram M.1 over all sts = 28-30-32-34-38-42 repetitions.
When diagram M.1 has been worked 3 times vertically (piece measures approx. 9 cm), insert 4 markers in the piece as follows: Insert 1st marker before the last st on round (= last K st in diagram M.1, this is now the beg of round), insert 2nd marker after 7-7-8-8-9-9 repetitions of diagram M.1, (= 64-64-73-73-82-82 sts between markers = the one side). Insert 3rd marker after another 62-71-71-80-89-107 sts (i.e. before the last K st in the 7th-8th-8th-9th-10th-12th repetition of diagram M.1). Insert 4th marker after 7-7-8-8-9-9 repetitions of diagram M.1 (= 64-64-73-73-82-82 sts between 3rd and 4th marker = the other side).

On next round dec 20-28-24-26-34-42 sts as follows:
10-14-12-13-17-21 sts evenly between 2nd and 3rd marker and 10-14-12-13-17-21 sts evenly between 4th and 1st marker = 232-242-264-280-308-336 sts.

Then continue with 7-7-8-8-9-9 repetitions of diagram M.1 in each side and 54-59-61-69-74-88 sts in stocking st mid front and back. When piece measures 20-21-22-23-24-25 cm, dec 1 st at every marker - Read DECREASE TIP - repeat dec every 2-2-2-1.5-1.5-1.5 cm a total of 10-10-11-14-14-16 times = 192-202-220-224-252-272 sts.
When piece measures 38-40-42-44-46-48 cm (Size S and L: adjust so that last dec at the markers has been done), dec 42-42-48-34-40-40 sts as follows: Between 1st and 2nd marker and between 3rd and 4th marker dec 1 st in every P section in diagram M.1(= 14-14-16-16-18-18 sts in each side), in each of the two sections in stocking st (mid front and mid back) dec 7-7-8-1-2-2 sts evenly = 150-160-172-190-212-232 sts.
