Back

Using the Navy yarn and the smaller needles, cast on 102(110)118(126)134(142) sts and work 6 cm of ribbing. Switch to the larger needles and Off White. Work 4 rows in stockinette st and increase 1 st on the first row = 103(111)119(127)135(143) sts.

Begin the colourwork pattern on row 1 of the chart. The starting point for each size is marked with an arrow. Keep repeating the 24 st pattern to end of row. Keep repeating rows 1-18.

When the piece measures approx. 32(33)34(35)37(38) cm and you have last worked 4 rows with Off White, work rows 19-52 of the chart. Then use Navy for the rest of the piece.

Note: When the piece measures 42(43)44(45)47(48) cm, on every other row bind off at both ends 1x3 sts and 7(7)7(9)9(9)x1 st for the armholes = 83(91)99(103)111(119) sts.

When the armhole measures 19(20)21(22)22(23) cm, bind off the middle 29(29)29(31)31(31) sts for the neckline. Work one side at a time. After 2 rows bind off 1x2 sts at the neckline edge.

When the armhole measures 21(22)23(24)24(25) cm, bind off the remaining 25(29)33(34)38(42) shoulder sts.

Work the other side in the same manner.

Front

Work in the same way until the armhole measures 12(13)14(15)15(16) cm. Leave the middle 19(19)19(21)21(21) sts on hold. Work one side of the neckline at a time. On every other row bind off 2x2 sts and 3x1 st at the neckline edge.

When the armhole measures 21(22)23(24)24(25) cm, bind off the remaining 25(29)33(34)38(42) shoulder sts.

Work the other side in the same manner.

Sleeves

Using Navy and the smaller needles, cast on 52(52)54(54)56(58) sts and work 6 cm of ribbing. Switch to the larger needles and Off White. Work 4 rows in stockinette st and increase 1 st on the first row = 53(53)55(55)57(59) sts.

Begin the colourwork pattern on row 1 of the chart. The midpoint of the piece is marked with an arrow. Use that to determine the starting point for the pattern. Keep repeating rows 1-18.

Note: When the piece measures 7(9)9(14)16(17)cm, increase 1 st at both ends. Repeat the increases every 3(2,5)2,5(2)2(2) cm 13(15)16(18)17(18) more times = 81(85)89(93)93(97) sts. Worked the increased sts following the chart.

When the piece measures approx. 39(40)41(42)42(43) cm and you have last worked 4 rows with Off White, work rows 19-52 of the chart. Then use Navy for the rest of the piece.

Knit the other sleeve in the same manner.

Finishing

Pin to measurements, mist on the wrong side and allow to dry.

Sew the shoulder seams.

Neckline edge: Place the sts on hold onto the circular needle. Using Navy, pick up and knit additional sts from the neckline edge for a total of 98(98)102(102)106(106) sts. Work 10 cm of ribbing in the round, then bind off in pattern. Fold the collar once and sew the edge to the WS.
