Continue with stocking stitch, A.1 and 3 band stitches in garter stitch on each side and continue to increase to raglan every 2nd row (each row from the right side) – REMEMBER THE KNITTING TENSION and the BUTTONHOLES – read description above.
Increase like this every 2nd row (each row from the right side).
The increased stitches are worked in stocking stitch. NOTE! In sizes 0/1 and 1/3 months first work the new stitches into A.1 then in stocking stitch.
AT THE SAME TIME when the piece measures 6 cm join the piece on the next row from the right side as follows:
Cast off the first 3 stitches and work to the end of the row. When the row is finished, continue in the round. You now are working stocking stitch on the back piece, stocking stitch and A.1 on the front piece.
Move the beginning of the round to mid-back.
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: Work the first 24-27-29-31 (33-35-38) stitches, 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), work 47-53-57-61 (65-69-75) stitches (front piece), 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), work 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.
When the piece measures 3 cm from the division, increase 1 stitch on each side of both markers - read INCREASE TIP.
Increase like this every 2 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.2 over all stitches. When A.2 has been completed in height, loosely cast off.
The jumper measures approx. 25-28-30-33 (36-40-44) cm from the shoulder down.

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 (4-5-3½) 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.
