Yoke
Using the smaller 40 cm circular needle and the Aqua yarn, cast on 80(80)84(84) sts and work ribbing in the round for 2,5 cm.
Switch to the larger 40 cm needle. Work stockinette st in the round for 1(2)2(3) rounds, evenly increasing 20(25)26(31) sts on the first round = 100(105)110(115) sts.
Keep working in the round and begin the colourwork pattern on row 1 of the chart. Work the 5 st pattern repeat 20(21)22(23) times. Work rows 2–8 of the chart. On row 4, 1 st increased in each pattern repeat = 120(126)132(138) sts.
Work rows 9–10. On row 9, 1 st increased in each pattern repeat = 140(147)154(161) sts. Note: Switch to the longer circular needle when you need to.
Work rows 11–17. On row 11, 1 st increased in each pattern repeat = 160(168)176(184) sts.
Work rows 18–19. On row 18, 1 st increased in each pattern repeat = 180(189)198(207) sts.
Work rows 20–27. On row 20, 1 st increased in each pattern repeat = 200(210)220(230) sts.
Work row 28. 1 st increased in each pattern repeat = 220(231)242(253) sts.
Now work stockinette st with Aqua. Sizes 104/110(116/122)128/134: evenly increase 3(4)5 sts on the 2nd(3rd)3rd round = 220(234)246(258) sts.
Work until the yoke measures 12(13)14(15) cm from the ribbing.
Body
On the next round work 66(69)72(75) sts (back), leave the next 44(48)51(54) sts on hold (sleeve), cast on 6(7)8(9) sts for the armhole, work 66(69)72(75) sts (front), leave the next 44(48)51(54) sts on hold (sleeve), cast on 6(7)8(9) sts for the other armhole.
Work stockinette st in the round with these 144(152)160(168) sts.
When the piece measures 22(24)26(28) cm from the armhole, switch to the smaller circular needle and work ribbing in the round for 4 cm.
Loosely bind off in pattern.
Sleeves
Move the 44(48)51(54) sts onto double-pointed needles and pick up and knit 6(7)8(9) sts from the armhole cast-on = 50(55)59(63) sts.
The beginning of the round is at the midpoint of the picked-up sts. Work stockinette st in the round.
When the sleeve measures 2(2)1(1) cm from the armhole, on the next round decrease 1 st after the first st and 1 st before the last st. Repeat the decreases every 2,5 cm 7(8)10(11) more times = 34(37)37(39) sts.
When the sleeve measures 27(30)32(35) cm from the armhole, switch to the smaller double-pointed needles. Work ribbing in the round and decrease 0(1)1(1) st(s) on the first round = 34(36)36(38) sts.
When the ribbing measures 4 cm, loosely bind off in pattern.
Knit the other sleeve in the same manner.
