AFTER MARKER:
The new stitch will be twisted, leaning towards the left.
Use left needle to pick up strand between 2 stitches from the row below, pick up strand from behind and
purl stitch in front loop.
BUTTONHOLES:
Work buttonholes on the right band (when the garment is worn). Work from the right side when there are
3 stitches left on the row as follows: Make 1 yarn over, knit 2 together and knit 1. On the next row (wrong
side), knit the yarn over to leave a hole.
The first buttonhole is worked when the rib on the neck measures 3 cm = 1 1/8". Then work the other
5-5-6-6-6-6 buttonholes with approx. 9½-10-8½-9-8-8 cm = 3 5/8"-4"-3 2/8"-3 1/2"-3 1/8"-3 1/8"
between each one.
BINDING-OFF TIP:
To avoid the bind-off edge being tight you can bind off with a larger size needle. If the edge is still tight,
make 1 yarn over after approx. each 4th stitch at the same time as binding off; the yarn overs are bind off
as normal stitches.

-------------------------------------------------------
NECK:
Cast on 83-87-91-95-101-105 stitches (including 5 band stitches on each side) with circular needle size 4.5
mm = US 7 and Air. Purl 1 row (= wrong side).
The next row is worked as follows from the right side:
Work 1 stitch in GARTER STITCH – read description above, * knit 1, purl 1 *, work from *-* until there are
2 stitches left on the row, knit 1 and finish with 1 stitch in garter stitch.
Continue this rib for 8 cm = 3 1/8".
When the rib is finished, knit 1 row from the right side where you increase 20-20-28-32-36-38 stitches
evenly spaced – read INCREASE/DECREASE TIP = 103-107-119-127-137-143 stitches.
Purl 1 row from the wrong side with 5 band stitches in garter stitch on each side.
Change to circular needle size 5.5 mm = US 9 and insert 1 marker after the band at the beginning of the

YOKE:
Now insert 4 markers in the piece, without working the stitches, as follows:
Insert marker 1 after 20-21-22-24-26-27 stitches (= front piece), skip the next 16-16-20-20-22-22
stitches, insert marker 2 here (= shoulder stitches), skip the next 31-33-35-39-41-45 stitches, insert
marker 3 here (= back piece), skip the next 16-16-20-20-22-22 stitches, insert marker 4 here (= shoulder
stitches), there are 20-21-22-24-26-27 stitches left after the last marker (= front piece). Allow the
markers to follow your work onwards; they will be used when increasing.
SHOULDER INCREASE:
Continue working stockinette stitch with 5 band stitches in garter stitch on each side. On the next row from
the right side increase for saddle shoulders as follows:
Increase 1 stitch BEFORE markers 1 and 3 and AFTER markers 2 and 4 – read INCREASE TIP (= 4 stitches
increased); I.e. there are increases on back piece and front piece, number of shoulder stitches remain the
same.
On the next row from the wrong side increase for saddle shoulder as follows:
Increase 1 stitch BEFORE markers 4 and 2 and increase 1 stitch AFTER markers 3 and 1. I.e. the increases
are different from right side and wrong side. REMEMBER THE KNITTING GAUGE!
Increase like this every row a total of 14-16-16-18-20-22 times = 159-171-183-199-217-231 stitches.
The piece measures approx. 7-8-8-9-10-11 cm = 2 3/4"-3 1/8"-3 1/8"-3 1/2"-4"-4 3/8" from the marker
on the neck.
SLEEVE INCREASE:
Continue working stockinette stitch with 5 band stitches in garter stitch on each side.
On the next row from the right side increase for the sleeves as follows:
Increase 1 stitch AFTER markers 1 and 3 and BEFORE markers 2 and 4 (= 4 stitches increased) i.e.
increase in shoulder stitches, number of stitches in back piece and front pieces remains the same.
Increase like this on every row from the right side a total of 9-10-9-12-12-13 times =
195-211-219-247-265-283 stitches.
The piece measures approx. 16-18-17-21-22-24 cm = 6 1/4"-7"-6 3/4"-8 1/4"-8 3/4"-9 1/2".
Continue working stockinette stitch with 5 band stitches in garter stitch on each side until the piece
measures 16-18-18-21-22-24 cm = 6 1/4"-7"-7"-8 1/4"-8 3/4"-9 1/2".
YOKE INCREASE:
On the next row from the right side increase 1 stitch on each side of all markers as follows:
Work until there is 1 stitch left before markers 1 and 3, increase 1 stitch BEFORE markers, work 1 stitch,
move the marker onto the right needle and increase 1 stitch AFTER markers.
Work to markers 2 and 4, increase 1 stitch BEFORE markers, move the marker onto the right needle, work
1 stitch and increase 1 stitch AFTER markers (= a total of 8 stitches increased).
Increase like this on every row from the right side a total of 4-4-5-5-6-6 times =
227-243-259-287-313-331 stitches.
When the increases are finished, the piece measures approx. 20-22-23-26-28-30 cm = 8"-8 3/4"-9"-10
1/4"-11"-11 3/4" from the marker on the neck.
Now divide the piece for body and sleeves on the next row as follows:
Work the first 38-41-43-47-53-55 stitches as before (= front piece), place the next 42-44-48-54-56-60
stitches on a thread for the sleeve, cast on 10-10-12-12-12-12 new stitches on the needle (= in side under

sleeve), work 67-73-77-85-95-101 stitches in stockinette stitch (= back piece), place the next
42-44-48-54-56-60 stitches on a thread for the sleeve, cast on 10-10-12-12-12-12 new stitches on the
needle (= in side under sleeve) and work the last 38-41-43-47-53-55 stitches as before (= front piece).
Body and sleeves are finished separately. THE PIECE IS NOW MEASURED FROM HERE.
BODY:
= 163-175-187-203-225-235 stitches.
Continue 5 band stitches in garter stitch on each side and stockinette stitch over the other stitches.
When the piece measures 26-26-26-25-24-24 cm = 10 1/4"-10 1/4"-10 1/4"-9 3/4"-9 1/2"-9 1/2" from
the division, increase 20 stitches evenly spaced on the next row from the right side (do not increase on the
bands) = 183-195-207-223-245-255 stitches.
Change to circular needle size 4.5 mm = US 7.
The next row is worked as follows from the wrong side:
5 band stitches in garter stitch, * purl 1, knit 1 *, work from *-* until there are 6 stitches left on the row,
purl 1 and finish with 5 band stitches in garter stitch.
When the rib measures 5 cm = 2", bind off with knit over knit and purl over purl, and bind off with knit
over the garter stitches - read BINDING-OFF TIP.
The jacket measures approx. 56-58-60-62-64-66 cm = 22"-22 3/4"-23 5/8"-24 3/8"-25 1/4"-26" from the
shoulder down.
SLEEVE:
Place the 42-44-48-54-56-60 stitches from the thread on the one side of the piece on double pointed
needles/short circular needle size 5.5 mm = US 9 and knit up 1 stitch in each of the 10-10-12-12-12-12
stitches cast on under the sleeve = 52-54-60-66-68-72 stitches. Insert a marker thread in the middle of
the 10-10-12-12-12-12 stitches under the sleeve. Work stockinette stitch in the round.
When the piece measures 3 cm = 1 1/8" from the division, decrease 0-0-1-1-1-1 stitch on each side of the
marker thread - read DECREASE TIP.
Decrease like this every 0-0-10-7-6-4 cm = 0”-0”-4"-2 3/4"-2 3/8"1 1/2" a total of 0-0-2-4-4-5 times =
52-54-56-58-60-62 stitches.
Continue working until the sleeve measures 34-33-32-30-28-27 cm = 13 3/8"-13"-12 1/2"-11 3/4"-11"-10
5/8" from the division.
Knit 1 round where you decrease 18 stitches evenly spaced = 34-36-38-40-42-44 stitches. Change to
double pointed needles size 4.5 mm = US 7 and work rib (= knit 1, purl 1) for 5 cm = 2".
Bind off with knit over knit and purl over purl – remember BINDING-OFF TIP.
Work the other sleeve in the same way.
