You knit “Cubes” using the lifting stitch technique from bottom to top: after a provisional cast on, you first knit the body in the round, then the back in rows until the end of the “Cubes” pattern, then knit the shoulder yoke, shaping it with shortened rows shoulder area. Then you knit the front piece in rows until the end of the “Cubes” pattern, knit the right and left sides of the neckline in shortened rows, knit another “Cubes” row each and connect these to the back piece with a stitch. The neckline and sleeve openings have a decorative I-cord.
Alternatively, you can knit a ribbed band 2nd, 2nd.

The model has an oversized cut: chest width approx. 110 – 122 cm. All sizes have the same length. The model photographed is size L.
The difference in width for the other sizes comes from omitting, doubling or tripling certain stitches in the pattern that are marked in the chart.

Size L:
Camel DK 7 balls
Merino Baby 3 balls
Manada 3 balls
Manada 1 ball (Deco Icords)

Alternative to avoiding double thread knitting:
Camel DK 7 balls in color 1 and 8 balls in color 2 (extra wool for lower waistband and icords)

Do not use material that is too smooth so that the cubes do not stretch too much. Taking Camel DK/ Merino Baby and Manada or just Camel DK the pattern is for free, with other wool the pattern costs 7 € extra.
