Back
Using the Nutria yarn, cast on 106(114)122(130)138(150) sts and begin the ribbing on the WS with k2. Work for 9(9,5)10(10)10,5(11) cm. Purl the last WS row, evenly increasing 0(0)0(2)2(0) sts = 106(114)122(132)140(150) sts.
Now work stockinette st. Work a 9,5(9,5)10(10,5)11(11,5) cm stripe of each of the Nettle, Graphite, Saffron and Pomegranate yarns. Work the rest of the piece using the Denim yarn.
Note: When the piece measures 35(36)37(38)41(43) cm, place markers for the armholes at both ends and increase 1 st at both ends, 1 st from the edge (= knit the strand of yarn between the sts through the back loop). Repeat the increases at both ends every 4,5(4,5)5(5)5(5,5) cm 3 more times = 114(122)130(140)148(158) sts.
When the piece measures 52(54)56(58)61(64) cm, on every other row bind off at both ends 4x6(7)8(9)10(11) sts and 1x8(8)8(8)8(9) sts at the shoulders. Bind off the remaining 50(50)50(52)52(52) neckline sts.

Note: On the first row, begin neckline decreases. Bind off the middle 40(40)40(42)42(42)sts and leave the sts on the left on hold. Work one side of the neckline first. On every other row, decrease 5x1 sts at the neckline edge: work the RS row until 3 sts remain at the neckline edge, k2tog, k1.
Knit the other side of the neckline to match. When decreasing, skp (= slip 1 st knitwise, knit 1, pass the slipped st over).
Sleeves
Using the Nutria yarn, cast on 46(46)50(50)54(54) sts and begin ribbing on the WS with k2. Work ribbing for 9(9,5)10(10)10,5(11) cm and purl the last WS row.
