FRONTSANDBACKJUNCTION

We join the fronts and the back by picking up and knitting a few stitches on the shoulders to create the sleeves. This step is done on a WS row. At the same time, we knit increases on each row (RS and WS) for the front neckline. Attention to the number of stitches you get after the removal of the provisional CO, it must be equal to the number of CO stitches for each front. · Remove yarn from provisional CO of the right front and put released stitches on left needle. · right front: p2, M1L, p to 2 sts before end, p2tog, pm ·right sleeve:pickup and purl 18, [18, 18,22, 22], (22, 22, 22,22)sts forthe shoulder(1stfor each slipped st), pm ·back: p2togtbl, \*k1, pltbl, k1, p2, repeat from \* until 5 sts before end, k1, pltbl, k1, p2tog, pm (chart <Back yoke

In this step, we knit increases for the creation ofthe sleeve caps (on RS rows), and for the front neckline (every rows). The lace pattern of the back is stillgoing on 4 rows (chart < Back yoke afterjunction with fronts >》 - Baj) to the lateral braid.

...I-Cord edge

Bind offstitches loosely. When you reach the last stitch, don't cut the yarn.

Before doing the I-cord edging, defne the place of the buttonholes with waste yarn or markers depending on the number of buttons you want. The ratio of picked up stitches is 3 sts for 4 rows for each front and 1 st for every st for the neckline. Starting from the bottom of the right front, with the uncut yarn, CO 3 sts and do an I-cord (cf § Techniques) on the right front, the neckline and the Ieft front. Cut the yarn. Both sleeves are knitted the same way,in the round with a circular needle or double-pointed needles: With the largest needle, take back stitches on hold for left sleeve.
