The first increase to RAGLAN – read description above, is now finished and there are 89-93-97-101 (105-109-113) stitches on the row.
Continue with stocking stitch and 3 band stitches in garter stitch on each side and continue increasing to raglan every 2nd row (each row from the right side) – REMEMBER THE KNITTING TENSION and the BUTTONHOLES – read description above.
AT THE SAME TIME when the piece measures 6 cm from the cast-on edge, join the piece as follows on the next row from the right side: Cast off the first 3 stitches and work to the end of the row. When the row is finished, continue in the round with stocking stitch over all stitches. Move the beginning of the round to mid-front.
Increase to raglan a total of 10-12-13-14 (15-16-18) times = 158-178-190-202 (214-226-246) stitches. Continue without further increases until the piece measures 9-10-11-12 (13-14-15) cm.
Work the next round as follows: Knit 24-27-29-31 (33-35-38), place the next 32-36-38-40 (42-44-48) stitches on a thread for the sleeve, cast on 6-6-6-8 (8-8-8) stitches (in side under sleeve), knit 47-53-57-61 (65-69-75) place the next 32-36-38-40 (42-44-48) stitches on a thread for the sleeve, cast on 6-6-6-8 (8-8-8) stitches (in side under sleeve), knit the last 23-26-28-30 (32-34-37) stitches.
The body and sleeves are finished separately.

BODY

= 106-118-126-138 (146-154-166) stitches. Insert 1 marker in each side, in the middle of the new stitches cast on under each sleeve. Move the beginning of the round to one marker.
When the piece measures 2 cm from the division, increase 1 stitch on each side of both markers - read INCREASE TIP.
Increase like this every 3 cm a total of 3-3-3-4 (4-4-4) times = 118-130-138-154 (162-170-182) stitches.
When the piece measures 8-10-11-13 (15-18-21) cm from the division, work 2 ridges over all stitches. Knit 1 round where you increase 18-23-32-33 (42-34-39) stitches evenly spaced = 136-153-170-187 (204-204-221) stitches. Knit 1 round; the yarn overs are knitted twisted to avoid holes.
Now work A.1 over all stitches. When A.1 has been completed in height, loosely cast off.

SLEEVES

Place the 32-36-38-40 (42-44-48) stitches from the thread on the one side of the piece on double pointed needles size 3 mm and knit up 1 stitch in each of the 6-6-6-8 (8-8-8) stitches cast on under the sleeve = 38-42-44-48 (50-52-56) stitches. Insert a marker in the middle of the new stitches under the sleeve. Work stocking stitch in the round.
When the sleeve measures 3 cm from the division, decrease 1 stitch on each side of the marker - read DECREASE TIP!
Decrease like this every 5-4-3-3 (4-5-3 ½) cm a total of 2-3-4-5 (5-5-7) times = 34-36-36-38 (40-42-42) stitches.
When the sleeve measures 11-14-15-18 (21-26-29) cm, change to double pointed needles size 2.5 mm. Work 2 ridges over all stitches. Cast off with knit. Work the other sleeve in the same way.
