Setting up row
Using the 60cm circular needle, cast on 92 sts and join for working stockinette stitch in the round. The beginning of the round is on one shoulder.
When you have knitted one round, start the increases in the center of both the front and back:
First set of increases: K22, yo, k2 center sts for the front, yo, k44 sts, yo, k2 center sts for the back, yo, k22 sts. 96 sts on the needles. Knit one round.
Second set of increases: K23, yo, k2 center sts for the front, yo, k46, yo, k2 center sts for the back, yo, k23. 100 sts on the needles. Knit one round.
Remember to always knit the 2 center stitches on both front and back and continue making the increases on a similar manner on either side of these stitches every 2nd round throughout the work.
Note: When you have increased three times and have knitted 6 rows in total, start the textured stitch pattern from row 7 of the chart. Repeat the 2 stitch pattern repeat throughout the round except for the 2 center sts for both front and back which you will knit on each round. Continue making the increases on either side of these stitches. Knit according to the chart for rounds 7-90 and change to the longer circular needle when necessary.
When you have finished row 90 of the chart, you will have 272 sts on your needles. Bind off loosely.
Finishing
Lay the piece wrong side up on a surface stretching it to measurements, mist with a spray bottle and leave to dry or steam lightly.
Collar: With the right side facing you and using the smaller circular needle, pick up and knit 88 sts along the neckline. Knit 2x2 ribbing while at the same time continuing to knit the 2 center stitches on both front and back. When the collar measures 20cm, bind off in pattern.
Finish the work by adding a fringe. Cut 5 40cm pieces of yarn for each section. Fold each bundle of yarn in half and using a crochet hook pull the folded yarn from the right side to the wrong side. Pull the ends through this loop and pull tightly to secure it. Continue in this manner leaving 3 sts between each fringe section.
