Runo is worked in separate parts, which are sewn together at the end. The back is decorated with a slit and buttons, that underline the style of the delicate sweater.

When armhole measures 14(15)16(17)18(19) cm / 5.5(5.9)6.3(6.7)7.1(7.5)”, place the 25(27)29(31)31(33) center sts on hold, for the neckline and work each shoulder separately. BO for neckline in every 2nd row 3 sts once, 2 sts once and 1 st 2 times.
When armhole measures 19(20)21(22)23(24) cm / 7.5(7.9)8.3(8.7)9.1(9.5)”, BO the rem 27(28)30(33)35(42) shoulder-sts.
Work the second shoulder in the same way.
Sleeves
CO 69(69)75(77)77(83) sts using the smaller size ndls and continue working lace pattern acc to chart II, row 1, as follows: work the first 2(2)1(2)2(1) sts in st st, work patt rep of 8 sts 8(8)9(9)9(10) times and work the last 3(3)2(3)3(2) sts in st st. Work row 2 of lace pattern acc to chart, then rep rows 1-2.
Only for sizes M, XL, XXL and 3XL: when work measures 5(7,5)5(5) cm / 2(3)2(2)”, inc 1 st at the beg and end of the row. Rep these inc’s every 5(7,5)5(5) cm / 2(3)2(2)” , 1(0)1(1) more time = 69(73)75(79)81(87) sts. Work the increased sts in st st.
When work measures 15 cm / 5.9”, continue working rows 3-4 of lace pattern, acc to chart II. After these 2 rows,16(16)18(18)18(20) sts are increased and 85(89)93(97)99(107) sts are on the ndl.
Change to the larger size ndls and continue working lace pattern acc to chart II, starting with row 5, as follows: work the first 2(4)1(3)4(3) sts in st st, work patt rep of 10 sts 8(8)9(9)9(10) times and work the last 3(5)2(4)5(4) sts in st st.
When sleeve, from cuff, measures 17(9)7,5(7,5)6,5(6,5) cm / 6.7(3.5)3(3)2.6(2.6)”, inc 1 st at the beg and end of the row. Rep these inc’s every 0(9)7,5(7,5)6,5(6,5) cm / 0(3.5)3(3)2.6(2.6)” another 0(2)3(3)4(4) times = 87(95)101(105)109(117) sts. Work the increased sts in lace pattern.
When sleeve, from cuff, measures 35(36)37(38)38(39) cm / 13.8(14.2)14.6(15)15(15.4)”, BO for sleeve cap shaping, as follows: at the beg of every row, BO 4(5)5(6)6(8) sts 2 times, 3 sts 0(2)2(2)2(2) times, 2 sts 6(4)4(4)4(4) times, 1 st 35(40)44(50)50(52) times, 2 sts 8(6)6(4)4(6)times and 3 sts 2 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 of front part back onto the ndl, PUK additional sts along neckline, up to a total of 107(107)115(115)115(115) sts. The total stitch count should be divisible by 8 + 11 sts.
Continue working lace pattern acc to chart III, first row is a RS row, as follows: k2, work patt rep of 8 sts 12(12)13(13)13(13) times, k9. Work row 2 of chart and then rep rows 1-2, until collar measures 7 cm / 2,8”, ending with a RS row. In the next WS row, knit all sts, then loosely BO all sts.
Close side- and sleeve seams. Sew sleeves in armholes.
Secure the buttons to the left side of the slit. The eyelets in the lace pattern serve as buttonholes.
