Body

The body is knitted in one piece up to the armholes. Using the smaller 80 cm circular needle, cast on 84(92)100(108)116(124) sts. Place a marker at the beginning of round. Work ribbing in the round: *k1, p1*, keep repeating *–*. Work ribbing for 8 rounds.

Switch to the larger circular needle and begin working the textured pattern on row 1 of the chart:

Row 1: knit all sts.

Row 2: *knit 1, purl 1*, keep repeating *–* to end of round.

Keep repeating rows 1–2.

When the piece measures approx. 30(31)32(33)34(35) cm and you have last worked row 2 of the chart, place another marker at the midpoint of the round. 42(46)50(54)58(62) sts in the front and back.

With the remaining 21(21)21(21)21(21) sts, work textured pattern for 4 more rows, then bind off as established.

Left sleeve

Work like right sleeve except for the increases. Increase at the beginning of round with m1L (= with the left-hand needle, pick up the strand of yarn between the sts from the front and knit it through the back loop).

Finishing

Sew the shoulder seams.

Neckline: Using the short 7 mm circular needle, evenly pick up approx. 44(44)46(46)48(50) sts from the neckline. Make sure the number of sts is divisible by 2. Work ribbing in the round for 14 rounds, then bind off loosely. Fold the ribbing and sew the edge to the inside.
