Ribbing in the round: *k1, p1*

Body

The body is knitted in the round up to the armholes. Using the smaller circular needle, cast on 150(158)170(178)186 sts and place marker for beginning of round. Work ribbing in the round for 3 cm.

Switch to the larger circular needle. Work stockinette st and begin the lace pattern in the front on row 1 of the chart: k19(21)24(26)28, work 37 st lace pattern, k19(21)24(26)28, place marker (side), knit to end of round. Work stockinette st and rows 2–28 of the chart, then keep repeating rows 1–28.

When the piece measures approx. 25(26)28(31)32 cm, finish with an odd-numbered row of the chart and separate the front and back.

Top front

Work next row to side marker. Leave next 75(79)85(89)93 sts (the back) on hold. With the 75(79)85(89)93 front sts, work back and forth.

When the armhole measures 8(9)10(10)11 cm, leave the middle 25(25)25(27)27 on hold for the neckline. Work one side at a time. On every other row, bind off 2x2 sts and 2x1 st at the neckline edge.

When the armhole measures approx. 13(14)15(15)16 cm, break yarn and leave the remaining 19(21)24(25)27 sts on hold.

Knit the other side in the same manner.

Top back

Place the 75(79)85(89)93 back sts back on the needles and work stockinette st back and forth.

When the armhole measures 11(12)13(13)14 cm, bind off the middle 33(33)33(35)35 for the neckline. Work one side at a time. On every other row, decrease 2x1st at the neckline edge.

When the armhole measures approx. 13(14)15(15)16 cm, break yarn and leave the remaining 19(21)24(25)27 sts on hold.

Knit the other side in the same manner.

Shoulder seams: Turn the work inside out. Place the right shoulder sts back onto the needles and align the shoulders. Work the sts together as follows: Purl together the first sts of both needles, then drop them off the needles. Work the second pair of sts in the same manner. Now pass the first st on the right-hand needle over the second one. Keep binding off as established. Alternatively, you can bind off all sts and sew the shoulder seam. Work the left shoulder in the same manner.

Sleeves

Using the larger double-pointed needles, pick up 56(60)64(64)68 sts from around the armhole [= 28(30)32(32)34 sts from both sides] and work stockinette st in the round for 2(2)3(3)4 cm.

Switch to the smaller double-pointed needles and work ribbing in the round until the sleeve measures 5(5)6(6)7 cm. Loosely bind off in pattern.

Knit the other sleeve in the same manner.

Finishing

Pin to measurements wrong side up, mist and allow to dry.

Neckline: Place the neckline sts onto the smaller double-pointed needles and with RS facing pick up additional sts from the neckline edge for a total of 90(90)92(92)94 sts. Work ribbing in the round for 2 cm. Bind off in pattern.
