Using the grey yarn, loosely cast on 136(142) sts and knit 1 row.
Begin the garter stitch from row 1 of chart I: using the grey yarn, k11 from the beginning of the row, change to the sand-coloured yarn and knit the stitches between A and B (= 41 sts) from the chart, knit B-C (= 1(7) sts), knit C-D (= 5 sts) and D-E (= 78 sts). Turn work and begin the shorter rows from row 2 of chart I. K78. Turn work and k77 from the 3rd row. Turn work and k73 from the 4th row. Continue working the short rows from rows 5-35 of the chart. Work row 36.
Using the grey yarn, continue from row 37 (on row 1 you've worked 11 sts with the grey yarn and now you'll continue from there). Work rows 38-106 of chart I using the grey yarn.
Repeat rows 1-106 for 8(9) more times and then work rows 1-36 of chart I.
Using the grey yarn, begin working the sleeve from row 1 of chart II: you already have 11 sts on the right-hand needle (= the 11 sts knitted with the grey yarn on row 1 of chart I), continue from there to row 1 of chart II and knit the remaining 34(40) sts. 45(51) sts on this row. Turn work and leave the remaining side sts on hold. Knit rows 2-44 of chart II with these sleeve sts. Repeat rows 1-44 2 more times, work rows 1-28 and then work 11 sts from the beginning of the next row using the grey yarn (= the first 11 sts knitted on row 1 of chart I). Break the yarn and leave the sleeve sts on hold on e.g. a piece of scrap yarn.
Continue with the side sts that were left on hold earlier and work 8(12) rows in garter st using the grey yarn (knit the 1st row on the right side of the work from the armpit to the hem).
Break the yarn. Place all of the sts on the same needle and using the grey yarn continue working from row 37 of chart I (you already have the 11 sts knitted on row 1 on the needle, continue to row 37). Work rows 38-106 and then repeat rows 1-106 9(10) times.
Work rows 1-36 of chart I.
Using the grey yarn, begin the other sleeve from row 1 of chart II: you already have the first 11 sts on the right-hand needle (= the 11 sts knitted with the grey yarn on row 1 of chart I), continue from there to row 1 of chart II and knit the remaining 34(40) sts. 45(51) sts on this row. Turn work and leave the remaining side sts on hold. Knit rows 2-44 of chart II with these sleeve sts. Repeat rows 1-44 for 2 more times, work rows 1-28 and then work 11 sts from the beginning of the next row using the grey yarn ( = the first 11 sts knitted on row 1 of chart I). Break the yarn and leave the sleeve sts on hold on e.g. a piece of scrap yarn.
