Back:
Cast on 141 (153) S and 2 ES in Cl. 70, start with 1 BR ri S Then continue working in the pattern and colour sequence and following stitching arrangement (= 2 R): ES, knt. tog. 1 S ri, pull over 2 S ri (= lft. 1 S ri, knt. 1 S ri., pull over the lifted S) 31 (33) S ri, pck. 1 S. (= knt. 1 S interlaced from the cross stitch), 1 S ri, pck. 1 S, 34 (38) S ri, knt. tog. 3 S po. (= lft. 2 S ri, knt. 1 S ri, pull over the 2 lifted S), 34 (38) S ri, pck. 1 S, 1 S ri, pck. 1 S, 31 (33) S ri, knt. tog. 2 S ri, 1 S ri, ES. Always rpt. this RSR, knt. in the BR according to the pattern.
In 9 R total height in the following RSR, for the side slant at the row start and row end, lft 1 S as follows: ES, knt. tog. 1 S ri, pull over 3 S ri (= lft. 1 S ri, knt. tog. 2 S ri., pull over the lifted S) 30 (32) S ri, pck. 1 S. (= knt. 1 S interlaced from the cross stitch), 1 S ri, pck. 1 S, 34 (38) S ri, knt. tog. 3 S po. (= lft. 2 S ri, knt. 1 S ri, pull over the 2 lifted S), 34 (38) S ri, pck. 1 S, 1 S ri, pck. 1 S, 30 (32) S ri, knt. tog. 3 S ri, 1 S ri, ES. rpt. these drops again 12 x in each 8th R (= 117 (129) S). Knt. the R between the drops according to the pattern. (= Knt. drops and pickups as in the 2nd R)
At a total height of 39 cm (= 119 R), for the armhole, drp. in the following RSR as follows: co. 13 (14) S, 1 S ri, knt. tog. 2 ri S po., 5 (6) S ri, pck. 1 S, 1 S ri, pck. 1 S, 34 (38) S ri, knt. tog. 3 S po., 34 (38) S ri, pck 1 S, 1 S ri, pck. 1 S, 5 (6) S ri, knt. tog. 2 S ri, 1 S ri, ES. In the following BR, co. 13 (14) S, knt. le S and end the R according to the pattern (= 91 (101) S). Now continue kn. straight up.
At a total height of 56 cm (= 167 R), co. all S straight in the following RSR, knt. ri S.
Front
As with the back part.
Finishing:
Close the shoulder seam (= 3.5 (4) cm) (see knitting chart). Pick up approx. every 74th S from the armhole edges and knt. 3 R ri S. Then knt. all 16 S, knt. ri S. Close the side seams flat.
