EXPLANATION FOR THE PATTERN:
----------------------------------------------------------
GARTER STITCH (back and forth):
Knit all rows.
1 ridge vertically = knit 2 rows.
PATTERN:
See diagrams A.1 to A.4. Choose diagram for your size (applies to A.1 and A.2). Diagrams show all rows in pattern seen from the right side.
INCREASE TIP:
Work until 2 stitches remain before marker thread, make 1 yarn over, work 4 stitches in stockinette stitch (marker thread is in the middle of these 4 stitches), make 1 yarn over. On next round knit yarns over twisted to avoid holes. Then work the new stitches in stockinette stitch.
BIND-OFF EDGE WITH PICOT:
Knit 1 twisted, * insert right needle between the first 2 stitches on left needle (i.e. between stitches on needle, not through stitches), make 1 yarn over on right needle, pull yarn over forward between the stitches and slip yarn over on to left needle *, work from *-* 2 times in total (= 2 new stitches on left needle), knit and bind off at the same time off 5 stitches (= 1st stitch on right needle + 2 yarn overs+ 2 stitches). Continue to work from *-* and bind off 5 stitches the same way along the entire bind-off edge until there are no stitches left to make a new picot. Bind off the remaining stitches, cut the yarn and pull yarn through the remaining stitch.

Put piece together. Insert 1 marker thread where piece was put together (mid under sleeve), move the marker thread upwards when working - use the marker thread for increase mid under sleeve.
Work in stockinette stitch in the round.
When piece measures 3 cm = 1 1/8" from where marker was inserted, increase 2 stitches mid under sleeve - read INCREASE TIP. Increase like this every 4-4-3-3-2½-2½ cm = 1 1/2"-1 1/2"-1 1/8"-1 1/8"-1"-1" 4 times in total.

When piece measures 5-5-6-6-7-7 cm = 2"-2"-2 3/8"-2 3/8"-2 3/4"-2 3/4" from markers, insert 4 marker threads in piece. Move the marker threads upwards when working - marker threads should be used for decrease for waist.
Count 30-34-37-42-48-54 stitches from the side, insert 1 marker thread before next stitch, count 46-48-50-52-56-58 stitches, insert 1 marker thread before next stitch, count 60-68-74-84-96-108 stitches, insert 1 marker thread before next stitch, count 46-48-50-52-56-58 stitches, insert 1 marker thread before next stitch. 30-34-37-42-48-54 stitches remain on round after last marker thread.
Work as follows: 30-34-37-42-48-54 stitches in stockinette stitch, A.3, work in stockinette stitch until 4 stitches remain before next marker thread, work A.4, 60-68-74-84-96-108 stitches in stockinette stitch, A.3, work in stockinette stitch until 4 stitches remain before next marker thread, work A.4, and 30-34-37-42-48-54 stitches in stockinette stitch. Continue pattern like this until A.3 and A.4 have been worked 2½ times vertically (5 decreases have been done vertically and cable has been worked 10 times vertically).
After last decrease there are 192-212-228-252-284-312 stitches on needle.
Work in stockinette stitch over all stitches until piece measures 21-22-23-24-25-26 cm = 8 1/4"-8 3/4"-9"-9 1/2"-9 3/4"-10 1/4" from markers inserted.
Knit 1 round while increasing 58-64-68-76-86-94 stitches evenly = 250-276-296-328-370-406 stitches.
Switch to circular needle size 2.5 MM = US 1.5 and work rib (knit 1 twisted/purl 1) for 6 cm = 2 3/8". Bind off with PICOT - read explanation above.
Piece measures approx. 46-48-50-52-54-56 cm = 18"-19"-19 3/4"-20 1/2"-21 1/4"-22" from shoulder.
SLEEVE:
Cast on 30-32-34-36-38-40 stitches on short circular needle size 3 MM = US 2.5 with DROPS Baby Alpaca Silk. Purl 1 row from wrong side. Work next row as follows from right side: 5 stitches in stockinette stitch, work 1 stitch in front and back loop of the next 20-22-24-26-28-30 stitches (= 20-22-24-26-28-30 stitches increased), 5 stitches in stockinette stitch = 50-54-58-62-66-70 stitches. Work stockinette stitch back and forth and cast on new stitches for sleeve cap at the end of every row in each side as follows: Cast on 3 stitches 1 time, 2 stitches 3-3-3-4-4-4 times, 1 stitch 5-7-9-9-10-14 times, 2 stitches 4-4-4-4-5-4 times and 3 stitches 1 time in each side = 100-108-116-124-134-142 stitches.
Put piece together. Insert 1 marker thread where piece was put together (mid under sleeve), move the marker thread upwards when working - use the marker thread for increase mid under sleeve.
Work in stockinette stitch in the round.
When piece measures 3 cm = 1 1/8" from where marker was inserted, increase 2 stitches mid under sleeve - read INCREASE TIP. Increase like this every 4-4-3-3-2½-2½ cm = 1 1/2"-1 1/2"-1 1/8"-1 1/8"-1"-1" 4 times in total.
AT THE SAME TIME when piece measures 8-8-7-7-6-5 cm = 3 1/8"-3 1/8"-2 3/4"-2 3/4"-2 3/8"-2" from where piece was put together, decrease 20-22-24-26-28-30 stitches evenly on round.
After all increases and decreases, there are 88-94-100-106-114-120 stitches on needle.
Work until piece measures 16-16-15-15-14-12 cm = 6 1/4"-6 1/4"-6"-6"-5 1/2"-4 3/4" from where piece was put together.
On next round decrease 22-24-28-32-36-40 stitches evenly = 66-70-72-74-78-80 stitches. Switch to double pointed needles size 2.5 MM = US 1.5, and work rib (knit 1 twisted/purl 1) for 6 cm = 2 3/8".
Bind off with PICOT - remember explanation above.
Sleeve measures approx. 31-32-32-33-33-33 cm = 12 1/4"-12 1/2"-12 1/2"-13"-13"-13 from cast-on edge.
Work the other sleeve the same way.
ASSEMBLY:
Sew the shoulder seams.
Sew in sleeves inside 1 edge stitch on front piece/back piece - distribute extra fabric nicely at the top of sleeve cap.
NECK EDGE:
Pick up approx. 110 to 126 stitches around the neck on a short circular needle size 2.5 MM = US 1.5 (number of stitch should be divisible by with 2). Work rib in the (knit 1 twisted/purl 1) for 3 cm = 1 1/8". Bind off with picot.
