Elegant, mooie pasvorm. Zakelijk en representatief genoeg voor naar het werk, maar het comfort van een zachte, warme gebreide kabeltrui! Ik hoop dat deze in de collectie komt, ik ga er dan meteen aan beginnen!

GARTER ST (back and forth on needle): K all rows. DECREASE TIP: At beg of row: Dec 1 st by working the 2 sts after edge st tog, K tog if next st is P, P tog if next st is K. Continue with pattern as before. At end of row: Dec 1 st by working the 2 sts before edge st tog, K tog if previous st was P, P tog if previous st was K. INCREASE TIP: At beg of row: Inc 1 st after edge st by getting thread between 2 sts from previous row - work this st twisted, i.e. work in back loop of st instead of front to avoid holes. K the new st twisted if next st is P, P the new st twisted if next st is K. Continue with pattern as before. At end of row: Inc 1 st before edge st by getting thread between 2 sts from previous row - work this st twisted, i.e. work in back loop of st instead of front to avoid holes. K the new st twisted if previous st was P, P the new st twisted if previous st was K. EDGE ST IN RIB: To get a nice edge mid front, work 1 edge st in rib as follows: Right front piece: 1st row (= RS): * K 1, P 1 *, repeat from *-*, finish row with 1 edge st in garter st. 2nd row (= WS): K last st on row (= 1 edge st in rib), turn piece. 3rd row (= RS): Slip 1st st as if to P and place thread behind piece, slip slipped st back on left needle and K st twisted (= 1 edge st in rib). Work edge st in rib as on 2nd and 3rd row upwards until finished measurements. Left front piece: 1st row (= RS): 1 edge st in garter st, * K 1, P 1 *, repeat from *-*, K last st on row (= 1 edge st in rib), turn piece. 2nd row (= WS): Slip 1st st as if to P and place thread behind piece, slip slipped st back on left needle and K st twisted. Work edge st in rib as 1st and 2nd row upwards until finished measurements. PATTERN: See diagram M.1, M.2, M.3 and M.4 (the diagrams show the pattern from RS) SHORT ROWS ALONG FRONT BAND: To make rib on front band and cable pattern the same height, work short rows over sts on body every 4 cm (measured on band) as follows: 1st row (= WS on right front piece, RS on left front piece): Work until 23-23-23-25-25-25 band sts remain, turn piece (tighten thread when turning to avoid holes). 2nd row (= RS on right front piece, WS on left front piece): Work back, turn piece. 3rd row: Work all sts. Continue with short rows like this until finished measurements. BUTTON HOLES: Cast off for 5-5-5-5-6-6 button holes on right front band. 1 BUTTON HOLE = cast off 5th and 6th st from edge and cast on 2 new sts on next row over these sts. Cast off for button holes when piece measures approx.: SIZE S: 3, 12½, 22, 31½, 41 cm. SIZE M: 3, 13, 23, 33, 43 cm. SIZE L: 3, 13½, 24, 34½, 45 cm. SIZE XL: 3, 14, 25, 35½, 46 cm. SIZE XXL: 3, 12, 21, 30, 39½, 49 cm. SIZE XXXL: 3, 12½, 22, 32, 42, 52 cm. Approx. 2 cm remain up to neck edge after last button hole. MEASURING TIP: Measure length on cable pattern otherwise the piece will be too short because of difference in knitting tension. -------------------------------------------------------- BACK PIECE: Worked back and forth on needle. Cast on 104-112-120-138-150-162 sts (incl 1 edge st in garter st in each side) on circular needle size 3.5 mm with Merino Extra Fine. On 1st row (= RS) work rib as follows: 1 edge st in garter st - See explanation above, * K 1, P 1 *, repeat from *-*, finish with 1 edge st in garter st. When rib measures 3 cm, switch to circular needle size 4 mm and work next row from RS as follows: 1 edge st, work 12-16-20-20-26-32 sts diagram M.1, work diagram M.2 a total of 4-4-4-5-5-5 times, then diagram M.3 1 time, 12-16-20-20-26-32 sts diagram M.4, finish with 1 edge st. REMEMBER THE KNITTING TENSION! Continue like this until piece measures 6 cm - Read Measuring tip above, then dec from RS 1 st in each side of piece - Read decrease tip above. Repeat dec every 3-3-3-3-3-2½ cm a total of 4-4-4-5-5-6 times = 96-104-112-128-140-150 sts. Continue with pattern until piece measures 19-20-21-22-23-24 cm.

When piece measures 34-35-36-37-39-41 cm, cast off and dec for armholes at the beg of every row in each side as follows: Cast off 3 sts a total of 1-1-2-3-3-4 times, 2 sts a total of 0-1-1-2-3-3 times and 1 st a total of 2-3-3-3-6-8 times = 94-96-98-106-108-110 sts. Continue with pattern as before until piece measures 50-52-54-56-59-62 cm. Now cast off the middle 50-50-52-52-56-56 sts for neck and finish each shoulder separately. Cast off 3 sts on next row from neck = 19-20-20-24-23-24 sts remain on shoulder. When piece measures 52-54-56-58-61-64 cm, loosely cast off all sts while AT THE SAME TIME working in pattern.
