Knitting instructions :
The sweater is knit bottom-up. Start by knitting the body and both sleeves up to the yoke. The underarm
stitches of the body and the sleeves are transferred to pieces of scrap yarn or stitch holders and the remaining
stitches of the body and the sleeves are combined on a circular knitting needle to form the yoke which is shaped
by simple decreases until the neckline stitches are cast off.
The underarm stitches on the body and the sleeves are grafted together by the Kitchener stitch.

Body :
With a 3.0 mm / 2 US circular needle cast on 191 sts. in color 0057 grey heather. Join in a circle and work rib
k1, p1 for 5 cm / 2.0”. In the last round increase by 5 sts, evenly spaced, ( 196 sts.)
Change to a 4.0 mm / 6 US circular needle and knit the body pattern. Continue until the body measures 45 cm
/ 17.7” from the cast on row. Do not knitt the last 6 sts of the last round.
Set aside and knit the sleeves.

Sleeves :
With a 3.0 mm / 2 US cast on 46 sts. in color nr. 0057 grey heather using double pointed knitting needles. Join
in a circle and work 5 cm / 2.0” in rib k1, p1. Change to 4.0 mm / 6 US needles. Knit the sleeves pattern in st.
stand increase 2 sts evenly spaced in the first pattern row (48 sts). In the 8th row increase 1 sts after the first
stitch in the row and 1 stitch before the last stitch in the same row. Repeat increases 15 times in every 8th row.
( increases in total > 78 sts)
Continue without further shaping until the sleeve measure 54 cm / 21.3” from the cast on edge.
Place half of 12 sts on either side of the underarm centre on a piece of scrap yarn or a stitch holder. Set aside
and knit the second sleeve in the same way.

Yoke :
Join body and sleeves as follows: With a 4.0 mm / 6 US circular needle using 0057 grey heather, place the last
6 sts and the first 6 sts of body on a stitch holder for the left underarm opening. Knit across the first (left)
sleeve. Knit 86 sts from the body to form the front of the sweater. Place next 12 sts of the body on a stitch
holder to form the underarm opening for the right hand sleeve. Knit across the second sleeve. Knit the
remaining 86 sts of the body. Knit the yoke pattern and the decreases according to the Yoke knitting chart.
Change to a shorter circular needle when necessary. When chart has been completed => 114 sts, change to 3.0
mm / 2 US needle, using 0057 grey heather. Knit 1 round decreasing 28 sts evenly spaced => 86 sts. Work
k1, p1 rib for 7 cm / 2.8” . Bind off loosely.

Finishing :
Graft the underarm stitches of the body and the sleeves together. Weave in loose ends. Fold the neckband in
half to the inside and slipstitch in place. Rinse the sweater by hand in lukewarm water and lay flat to dry in the
right measurements.
