AT THE SAME TIME when piece measures 3-3-3-4-4-4 cm from marker, inc 1 st in each side, repeat inc every 3-3-3-4-4-4 cm a total of 3-3-3-2-2-2 times = 108-118-126-138-154-168 sts.

Then work in garter st back and forth. When piece measures 3-3-3-4-4-4 cm from marker, inc in the side as on back piece. AT THE SAME TIME when piece measures 10-10-10-10-9-9 cm from marker, beg to dec for neck. Dec 1 st at beg of next row from WS, repeat dec every 6-6-6-6-8-8 rows a total of 12-13-13-14-14-15 times.

ASSEMBLY:
Sew in sleeves. Sew sleeve and side seams in one inside 1 edge st. Sew on buttons.

Jeg er ved at give op allerede fra start. Er det en fejl? Skulle der have stået 2 masker tilbage før mærket? Skal først stykke (ryg) komme til at ligne en rombe?
Kan man strikke trøjen på pind 3½ efter maskeantallet for en størrelse mindre?
Hejsa. Virkelig pæn trøje. Jeg kan se der er mange kommentarer og nogen der ikke forstår opskriften. Er der fejl og er de evt rettet i opskriften nu? Vil gerne strikke denne lækre model 😊 Vh Mette
Bonjour. je suis au tout début du modèle. j'ai tricoté le 1er "carré", j'ai suivi les instructions mais mon carré a plutôt la forme d'une "goutte" d'eau. est-ce que c'est normal? merci pour votre aide. Marion

Hi, the same has happened to me... I have literally spent hours trying to find where to cast on the stitches for the second triangle ,until finally I have decided to knit the second triangle separately and to attach it later.
I am on the back piece & working on the second square I am not understanding how to pick up and knit do you have a chart for the backside?

Por que hay tan poco material en español?
Hoi Corrie - even een toevoeging: De keuze voor ribbelsteek wordt gemaakt voor bijna alle "modulaire" modellen, dus die met stukken eraan en vierkanten erin. Omdat het makkelijk rekenen is met meerderen in ribbelst en omdat het niet omkrult. Het is wel heel belangrijk dat het hier heel erg om de stekenverhouding in de HOOGTE gaat dus om het verschil in aantal naalden voor 10 cm, niet st in de breedte. Je breit bijna 2 keer zo veel nld ribbelsteken in de hoogte dan tricotsteken. Gr. Tine
