KNITTING TIPS: This design is written with button holes on right front edge, if you wish standard button holes for men, you can make the button holes on left front edge.
GARTER ST (back and forth on needle):
K all rows. NOTE: All edge sts are worked in garter st.
PATTERN
See diagram A.1 to A.4, diagrams show all rows in 1 pattern repetition from RS.
RIGHT FRONT PIECE
Work 1 short row on row 3 of every pattern repetition vertically until finished measurements as follows:
On 3rd row in pattern (= RS), work 26-26-26-26-30-30 band sts, turn and K back. Then work over all sts on row as before.
LEFT FRONT PIECE
Work 1 short row on row 2 of every pattern repetition vertically until finished measurements as follows:
On 2nd row in pattern (= WS), work 26-26-26-26-30-30 band sts, turn and K back. Then work over all sts on row as before.
BUTTON HOLES
Cast off for 5 button holes from RS on right band. 1 BUTTON HOLE = cast off 7th and 8th st from mid front and cast on 2 new sts on next row over these sts. Cast off for button holes when piece measures:
SIZE S: 14, 22, 30, 38 and 46 cm
SIZE M: 15, 23, 31, 39 and 47 cm
SIZE L: 16, 24, 32, 40 and 48 cm
SIZE XL: 17, 25, 33, 41 and 49 cm
SIZE XXL: 18, 26, 34, 42 and 50 cm
SIZE XXXL: 19, 27, 35, 43 and 51 cm
INCREASE TIP
Inc 1 st by making 1 YO, on next row work YO twisted (i.e. work in back loop of st instead front) to avoid holes.
BACK PIECE
Worked back and forth on needle. Cast on 136-156-168-180-196-204 sts (incl 1 edge st in each side) on circular needle size 3.5 mm with Lima. Work rib as follows (1st row = RS): 1 edge st in GARTER ST - see explanation above, * K 2, P 2 , repeat from -*, finish with K 2 and 1 edge st in garter st. Continue to work like this until rib measures 5-5-5-6-6-6 cm. On last row from WS, P while AT THE SAME TIME dec 20-22-24-26-26-26 sts evenly = 116-134-144-154-170-178 sts.
Then switch to needle size 4 mm and work next row from RS as follows: 1 edge st in garter st, 8-16-20-24-20-24 sts in A.4, work A.1 one time in size S - XL, work A.2 one time in size XXL and XXXL, 26-28-30-32-34-34 sts in A.4, then work A.1 one time in size S - XL, work A.3 one time in size XXL and XXXL, finish with 8-16-20-24-20-24 sts in A.4 and 1 edge st in garter st. REMEMBER THE KNITTING TENSION!
Continue to work like this until piece measures 47-48-49-50-51-52 cm. Then cast off for armholes at the beg of every row in each side as follows: Cast off 3 sts 0-1-1-2-2-2 times, 2 sts 1-1-1-2-2-2 times, 1 st 4-7-9-8-4-8 times = 104-110-116-118-142-142 sts. Continue with pattern as before until piece measures 66-68-70-72-74-76 cm. Now cast off the middle 20-22-24-26-28-28 sts for neck and finish each part separately. Cast off 2 sts on next row from neck = 40-42-44-44-55-55 sts remain on shoulder. Continue with pattern as before. When piece measures 68-70-72-74-76-78 cm, loosely cast off sts with K over K and P over P.
RIGHT FRONT PIECE
Worked back and forth on needle. Cast on 83-91-95-99-111-115 sts (incl 1 edge st in the side) on circular needle size 3.5 mm with Lima. Work rib as follows (1st row = RS): 26-26-26-26-30-30 sts in garter st (= band sts), * K 2, P 2 , repeat from -*, finish with 1 edge st in garter st. Continue with rib and band sts in garter st until rib measures 5-5-5-6-6-6 cm. On last row from WS, P over all sts in rib while AT THE SAME TIME dec 12-12-12-12-13-13 sts evenly (do not dec over band sts) = 71-79-83-87-98-102 sts.
Then switch to needle size 4 mm and work next row from RS as follows: 26-26-26-26-30-30 band sts, work A.1 one time in size S - XL, work A.3 one time in size XXL and XXXL, 8-16-20-24-20-24 sts in A.4 and 1 edge in garter st. On next row from RS (= 3rd row in pattern) work SHORT ROWS - read explanation above. Continue with pattern and band sts at the front - while AT THE SAME TIME work 1 short row on 3rd row in every pattern repetition vertically until finished measurement.
When piece measures 14-15-16-17-18-19 cm, cast off for BUTTON HOLES on right band - see explanation above! Continue to work until piece measures 47-48-49-50-51-52 cm.
Then cast off at beg of next row from RS as follows: Cast off the first 25-25-25-25-29-29 sts, insert a marker (this marks where to beg the knit up for collar), work the rest of row. Then cast off for armhole on every row from WS as follows: 3 sts 0-1-1-2-2-2 times, 2 sts 1-1-1-2-2-2 times, 1 st 4-7-9-8-4-8 times = 40-42-44-44-55-55 sts remain on shoulder. Continue with pattern as before. When piece measures 68-70-72-74-76-78 cm, loosely cast off sts with K over K and P over P.
LEFT FRONT PIECE
Cast on and work rib as on right front piece but reversed (i.e. * P 2, K 2 , repeat from -*) with 26-26-26-26-30-30 band sts in garter st. Continue to work until rib measures 5-5-5-6-6-6 cm. On last row from WS, P over all sts in rib while AT THE SAME TIME dec 12-12-12-12-13-13 sts evenly (do not dec over band sts) = 71-79-83-87-98-102 sts.
Then switch to needle size 4 mm and work next row from RS as follows: 1 edge st in garter st, 8-16-20-24-20-24 sts in A.4, work A.1 one time in size S - XL, work A.2 one time in size XXL and XXXL, 26-26-26-26-30-30 band sts in garter st. On next row from WS (= 2nd row in pattern) work SHORT ROWS - read explanation above. Continue to work the same way as on right front piece but without button holes.
SLEEVE
Worked back and forth on needle. Cast on 74-78-82-86-90-90 sts (incl 1 edge st in each side) on circular needle size 3.5 mm with Lima. Work rib as follows (1st row = RS): 1 edge st in garter st, * K 2, P 2 , repeat from -* and finish with 1 edge st in garter st.
Continue to work like this until rib measures 5-5-5-6-6-6 cm. On last row from WS, P while AT THE SAME TIME dec 12-14-16-18-18-18 sts evenly = 62-64-66-68-72-72 sts.
Then switch to needle size 4 mm and work next row from RS as follows: 1 edge st in garter st, 12-13-14-15-17-17 sts in A.4, work A.1 one time, 12-13-14-15-17-17 sts in A.4, finish with 1 edge st in garter st. AT THE SAME TIME when piece measures 6 cm, inc 1 st inside 1 edge st in each side - Read INCREASE TIP above. NOTE: Work the inc sts in A.4. Repeat inc every 3½-3-2½-2½-2½-2½ cm a total of 14-15-16-17-16-17 times = 90-94-98-102-104-106 sts. Continue until piece measures 54-53-51-50-48-48 cm (shorter measurements in the larger sizes because of longer sleeve cap and broader shoulder width), cast off at beg of every row in each side: 3 sts 1-1-1-2-2-2 times, 2 sts 1-1-2-2-2-2 times and 1 st 2-2-3-3-4-4 times. Then cast off 2 sts in each side until piece measures 61-61-60-60-59-59 cm, then cast off 3 sts 2 times in each side. When piece measures approx. 62-62-61-61-60-60 cm, loosely cast off sts with K over K and P over P.
ASSEMBLY
Sew shoulder seams and sew in sleeves inside 1 edge st. Sew sleeve and side seams in one inside 1 edge st. Sew buttons on to left front piece, approx. 2½ cm from last K st in pattern.
SHAWL COLLAR
Knit up sts from RS inside 1 edge st on circular needle size 3.5 mm. Start mid front at marker on right front piece as follows: Knit up approx. 60-70 sts up to shoulder, then 30-40 sts along the neck and 60-70 sts down along left front piece until marker = 150-180 sts. K 1 row from WS while AT THE SAME TIME adjusting no of sts to 144-148-156-164-172-180. Then work rib on next row from RS as follows: 1 sts in garter st, * K 2, P 2 , repeat from -* and finish with K 2 and 1 st in garter st. Continue like this until collar measures approx. 5-5-5-6-6-6 cm. Now inc 1 st in each of the middle 14-14-14-16-16-16 P-sections seen from RS (= back of neck) = 158-162-170-180-188-196 sts. Continue until collar measures approx. 12-12-12-12-14-14 cm, then loosely cast off with K over K and P over P. Fasten collar with stitches at the bottom in each side towards band from WS (so that the seam is not visible from RS) – sew edge to edge to avoid a chunky seam.
