STITCHES AND TECHNIQUES
M1L (make 1 left): With left needle, pick up the stand between 2 stitches from front to back and knit into back loop.
M1R (make 1 right): With left needle, pick up the stand between 2 stitches from back to front and knit into front loop.
Slip marker (sl m): When you come to a marker, move it from the left needle to the right needle.
Raglan Shaping: *Knit until 4 sts before raglan marker, sl 1, k1, psso (or ssk), k2, sl m, k2, k2tog.* Rep * to * at every raglan marker.
NOTE On the last raglan decrease round, for sizes XL and XXL, work instead as: *Knit until 4 sts rem before raglan marker, sl 1, k1,
psso, k2, sl m, k2, sl 2 sts knitwise from left to right needle as if to k2tog, k1, psso, k2, sl m, k2, k2tog.* Rep * to * once more.
Steek: in this pattern, the steek = last st of the rnd.
Cardigan Length: This cardigan is a waist-length cropped dress sweater. If you want a "normal" length sweater, you can lengthen
the section after the pattern panels by knitting another 4 in / 10 cm or desired extra length. If you make the cardigan 4 in / 10 cm
longer, you'll need 70-100 g extra of color 1.

BODY
With color 2 and circular, CO 240 (264, 288, 312, 336) sts. Join, being careful not to twist cast-on row; pm for beginning of rnd. Work
around in k1, p1 ribbing for 2 in / 5 cm.
Continue in stockinette (knit all rounds): Knit 4 rnds.
Now work in pattern following Chart A (rep sts 1-24 around), working chart rows 1-31.
NOTE Don't forget to move beginning of rnd marker up every rnd so you can insure that the pattern placement stays correct.
With color 1: Work around in stockinette until body measures 10¼ (10¾, 11, 11¾, 12¾) in / 26 (27, 28, 30, 32) cm or desired length to
underarms.
BO 11 (13, 15, 17, 19) sts centered at each side for underarms as follows:
K54 (59, 64, 69, 74), BO 11 (13, 15, 17, 19) sts (after the bind-off, 1 st rem on right needle), k108 (118, 128, 138, 148), BO 11 (13, 15,
17, 19) sts (after the bind-off, 1 st rem on right needle), k54 (59, 64, 69, 74) = 218 (238, 258, 278, 298) sts rem.
Set aside body (place sts on a holder/long length of smooth yarn) while you knit the sleeves.

SLEEVES
With color 2 and dpn, CO 54 (60, 60, 64, 64) sts. Divide sts onto dpn and join; pm for beginning of rnd. Work around in k1, p1 ribbing
for 2 in / 5 cm.
Continue in stockinette (knit all rounds): Knit 4 rnds.
Now work in pattern following Chart B (rep sts 1-6 around), working chart rows 1-13.
NOTE Don't forget to move beginning of rnd marker up every rnd so you can insure that the pattern placement stays correct.
With color 1: Knit 4 rnds.
Increase Rnd: K1, M1L, knit until 1 st rem on rnd, M1R, k1.
Continue around in stockinette, repeating increase rnd every 1 (1, ¾, ¾, ¾) in / 2.5 (2.5, 2, 2, 2) cm until there are 86 (90, 96, 100,
106) sts. Continue in stockinette until sleeve is 19¼ (19¾, 19¾, 19¾, 21) in / 49 (50, 50, 50, 53) cm long or desired length.
Finish sleeve by binding off at underarm as follows: knit until 6 (7, 8, 9, 10) sts rem, BO 11 (13, 15, 17, 19) sts = 75 (77, 81, 83, 87)
sts rem.
Place sleeve sts on a holder and set aside while you knit the second sleeve the same way.

YOKE
Now it's time to join all the pieces.
With circular, color 1, and RS facing you, arrange the pieces on the needle as follows:
Right Front: K54 (59, 64, 69, 74);
Right Sleeve: K75 (77, 81, 83, 87);
Back: K109 (119, 129, 139, 149);
Left Sleeve: K75 (77, 81, 83, 87);
Left Front: K54 (59, 64, 69, 74)
= total of 368 (392, 420, 444, 472) sts.
Knit 1 rnd, at the same time, placing markers (use a different color marker for beginning of rnd) as follows:
Pm for beginning of rnd, pm at intersection of right front and right sleeve, pm at intersection of right sleeve and back; pm at
intersection of back and left sleeve; pm at intersection of left sleeve and left front = 4 raglan decrease line markers + 1 marker at
beginning of rnd.

Raglan Shaping:
Work around in stockinette and decrease on every rnd as described under Stitches and Techniques above) a total of 8 (8, 9, 10, 12)
times and then on every other rnd a total of 21 (23, 24, 25, 23) times.

Neckband:
Knit until 10 (10, 11, 11, 22) sts rem and then BO 19 (19, 21, 21, 23) sts - these sts will form the neckband.
NOTE At the same time as binding off, move marker for beginning of rnd to last ordinary st of rnd to indicate that it is the steek st.
Continue rnd as it began with binding off and raglan shaping as before on this rnd. Now begin working back and forth.
Turn, p2tog, and then purl to end of row.
Continue working back and forth in stockinette (= knit on RS and purl on WS).
Decrease at the beginning of each row as follows:
RS: Sl 1, k1, psso (or ssk).

(8, 9, 10, 12) preliminary raglan decreases are not included in this count.)
