GETTING STARTED:
Front Piece:
Cast on 120 stitches. Work row 1: k, row 2: purl Work these two rows until you have 50 cm ( 20 in) Bind off 8 stitches on every side of The Front.
Back Piece:
Work in same way like The Front Piece. When you have 50 cm (20 in) of both The Front Piece and The Back Piece begin with Sleeves.
Sleeve 1:
Cast on 74 stitches. Work row1: k, row 2: purl Work these two rows until you have 49 cm ( 19 in). Increase sleeves with 30 stitches - so that you have 104 stitches on 49 cm (19 in). Bind off 8 stitches on every side of sleeve.
Sleeve 2:
Work in same way like The Sleeve 1.
Body:
Place everything on the same needles and join for working in the round in way like: Front: knit until 3 sts left, PM, knit 3, place Sleve 1: knit until 3 sts left, PM, knit 3, place Back Piece: knit until 3 sts left, PM, knit 3, place Sleve 2: knit until 3 sts left, PM, knit 3, Knit 9rows. (If you need a larger size and you have more stitches on needles) knit 13 rows instead for 9 for size L, 17 rows for size XL, 7 rows for size S)
From row 10: After every M knit a cable: (twist every 8 rows) Twist row: \*k, M, 3/3 LC, k, M, 3/3 RC\* -repeat 2 times in row. You make cable twist in every 7th row. So you knit this row like row 10 and 6 rows k, and again cable row, and 5 rows k. Notice than on the left side of the body you have a left twist cable and on the right side - a right twist cable. Decrease before: (ssk) and after: (k2tog) cable. First: 6 time every 4 row - begin with row 10. And later every 2 rows - until you have 16 cm with cable pattern. Knit in the round 4 cm without cable and bind off. If you need larger size work with cable pattern 18, 20 cm (7, 8) in . And 14 cm (6 in) for size S.
Have a happy knitting!
