Crochet half and complete Granny Squares as described above and in the last rnd, join the next half/complete Granny Square to the Granny Square, as shown in picture III. Crochet the Granny Squares acc to color combination A or B, following crochet chart IV(IV)V(V). Note: the Granny Squares can also be sewn together at the end.
When all parts (half and complete Granny Squares) for the sleeves are joined together, work sleeve cuff as follows:
With RS facing, using the smaller size ndls and color Nature, PUK 38(38)38(38) sts along bottom edge of sleeve and work ribbed cuff in 2/2 ribbing back and forth (in RS- and WS rows) for 5(6)5(6) cm / 2(2.4)2(2.4)”. BO all sts in pattern.
Work ribbed cuff for second sleeve in the same way.
Finishing
Place work inside out onto a flat surface acc to measurements, dampen and leave to dry.
Join sleeves to cable pattern of front- and back, using backstitches (pay attention to the red arrows in chart). The sleeve is sewn to front and back part at a distance of 1 st from the armhole edge, so 1 whole knit st remains visible on the cable pattern. Close sleeve seams.
Neckline border: place the 58(58)62(62) held sts of back part onto the short circ. ndl, PUK 12(12)12(12) sts along sleeve edge, place the 58(58)62(62) held sts of front part back onto ndl and PUK 12(12)12(12) sts along edge of second sleeve = 140(140)148(148) sts.
Work in 2/2 ribbing and at the same time, continue working cable pattern, as follows: k1, work cable pattern over 13 sts, k2, *p2, k2, rep from * 6(6)7(7) more times and work cable pattern over 13 sts. k2, *p2, k2, rep from * 2 more times, work cable pattern over 13 sts, k2, *p2, k2, rep from * 6(6)7(7) more times, work cable pattern over 13 sts, k2, *p2, k2, rep from * once more, p2 and k1.
Continue working as set, until neckline border measures 10 cm / 4”, then BO all rib pattern sts in pattern and BO the cable pattern sts knitwise.
