CO 94(112)130(148) sts using the smaller size ndls and in the first WS row, start working 2/2 ribbing acc to chart I, row 1, as follows: k2, work patt rep of 18 sts 5(6)7(8) times, k2. Work rows 2-5 of chart.
Change to the larger size ndls and work lace pattern starting from row 6 of chart I, as follows: k2, work patt rep of 18 sts 5(6)7(8) times, k2. Work rows 7-25 of chart, then rep rows 6-25.
When work measures 39(40)42(44) cm/ 15.4(15.8)16.5(17.3)”, start armhole shaping, as follows: at the beg of the next 6 rows, BO 5 sts 2 times, 3 sts 2 times and 2 sts 2 times. Please note that in each pattern repeat of the lace pattern, for every pair of sts that are knitted together, a yarn over is also worked, so the number of sts remains the same. When 1 of the 2 sts to be worked tog has been bound off, do not make the decrease and work the rem st as k1. After decreasing there are 74(92)110(128) sts on the ndl.
When armhole measures 18(19)21(22) cm / 7.1(7.5)8.3(8.7)”, place stitch markers on each side of the 34(38)38(38) center sts, for neckline shaping. At the beg of the next RS row, BO 6(7)10(10) sts for shoulder shaping, work in pattern to neckline-M, BO the next 34(38)38(38) sts for the neckline, and k to end of row.

Work the second shoulder in the same way.
Front
Work in the same way as described for back, until armholes measure 13(14)16(17) cm / 5.1(5.5)6.3(6.7)”. Place the 18(22)22(22) center sts on hold for neckline shaping and work each shoulder separately. At the beg of every 2nd row, at the neckline edge, BO 4 sts once, 3 sts once, 2 sts once and 1 st once.
When armhole measures 18(19)21(22) cm / 7.1(7.5)8.3(8.7)”, BO 6(7)10(10) sts once and 4(6)8(11) sts 3 times in every 2nd row, for shoulder shaping.
Work the second shoulder in the same way.
Sleeves
CO 54(56)58(60) sts, using the smaller size ndls and in the next WS row, start working 2/2 ribbing acc to chart II, row 1: k0(1)2(3) sts, work patt rep of 18 sts 3 times , k0(1)2(3) sts. Work rows 2-9 of chart.
Change to the larger size ndls and continue working lace pattern acc to chart II, starting at row 10, as follows: k0(1)2(3) sts, work patt rep of 18 sts 3 times , k0(1)2(3) sts. Work rows 11-29, then rep rows 10-29.
When work measures 8(11)11(9) cm / 3.2(4.3)4.33.5)”, inc 1 st at the beg and end of the row. Rep these inc’s every 3,5(3)2,5(2,5) cm / 1.4(1.2)1(1)” another 10(11)14(15) times = 76(80)88(92) sts. Work the increased sts in pattern.
When work measures 46(47)48(49) cm / 18.1(18.5)18.9(19.3)”, at the beg of every row, BO 5(5)7(7) sts 2 times, 3 sts 4 times and 2 sts 4 times. BO the rem sts.
Work the second sleeve in the same way.
Finishing
Place work inside out onto a flat surface, dampen and let dry. Close shoulder seams.
Collar: place held sts back onto a circ. ndl and PUK more sts along neckline, so that there are 32(34)34(34) back-sts and 48(50)50(50) front-sts = 80(84)84(84) sts. Work 2/2 ribbing in the round, until collar measures 15 cm / 5.9” , then BO all sts in pattern.
