between first and last stitch(=beginning of the round, between sleeve and back piece). Work rib in the
round with knit 2/purl 2. When piece measures 3 cm, increase 1 stitch in all purl sections = 125-130-135-
145-150-155 stitches. Then work knit 2/purl 3 until piece measures 6 cm. Then switch to circular needle
size 4 mm. Knit 1 round while adjusting number of stitches to 124-128-136-144-148-156.

Now insert 4 markers for RAGLAN in the piece without working, as follows: Insert 1st marker in the 1st
stitch on round, insert 2nd marker in the 41st-43rd-47th-51st-53rd-57th stitch, insert 3rd marker in the
63rd-65th-69th-73rd-75th-79th stitch, insert 4th marker in the 103rd-107th-115th-123rd-127th-135th
stitch. Then work STRIPES AND PATTERN - read explanation above, and read the entire section before
continuing.

Work as follows from beginning of round: Work 1 stitch in stocking stitch, make 1 yarn over, work A.1 over
the next 38-40-44-48-50-54 stitches, work A.2 over 1 stitch, make 1 yarn over and work 1 stitch in
stocking stitch (= back piece). Make 1 yarn over, work A.1 over the next 20 stitches, work A.2 over 1
stitch, make 1 yarn over and work 1 stitch in stocking stitch (= sleeve). Make 1 yarn over. Work A.1 over
the next 38-40-44-48-50-54 stitches, work A.2 over 1 stitch, make 1 yarn over and work 1 stitch in
stocking stitch (= front piece). Make 1 yarn over, work A.1 over the next 20 stitches, work A.2 over 1
stitch, and make 1 yarn over (= sleeve). First increase for raglan is now done (= 8 stitches increased).
REMEMBER THE KNITTING TENSION!
Continue with stripes and pattern and increase for raglan every other round until 22-24-26-30-33-35
increases have been done in total = 300-320-344-384-412-436 stitches. Continue with pattern and stripes
until piece measures 22-24-25-27-29-31 cm from cast-on edge. Finish the last round 1-2-1-0-2-3 stitches
before the beginning of the next round. Insert a new marker (= new beginning of round). On next round
divide piece for body and sleeves as follows:

Work 87-95-101-111-123-133 stitches in pattern as before (= back piece), slip the next 63-65-71-81-83-
85 stitches on a stitch holder for sleeve and cast on 6-6-8-8-10-12 stitches in the side under sleeve, work
87-95-101-111-123-133 stitches in stocking stitch (= front piece), slip the next 63-65-71-81-83-85
stitches on a stitch holder for sleeve and cast on 6-6-8-8-10-12 stitches under sleeve. Now finish body and
sleeves separately. NOW MEASURE PIECE FROM HERE!

BODY:
= 186-202-218-238-266-290 stitches. Then continue with pattern and stripes as before until piece
measures 30-30-31-31-31-31 cm from division, switch to circular needle size 3.5 mm, knit 1 round while
decreasing 2 stitches evenly = 184-200-216-236-264-288 stitches. Work rib knit 2/purl 2 for 4 cm, then
cast off with knit over knit and purl over purl – use a larger needle size to cast off to avoid a tight edge.
Jumper measures approx. 60-62-64-66-68-70 cm, measured from shoulder and down.

SLEEVE:
Slip the 63-65-71-81-83-85 stitches from stitch holder in one side of piece on double pointed needles size
4 mm, and pick up 1 stitch in each of the 6-6-8-8-10-12 stitches cast on under sleeve = 69-71-79-89-93-
97 stitches. Work in the round and continue pattern A.1 and STRIPES SLEEVE. Insert 1 marker thread mid
under sleeve. When sleeve measures 2 cm from where sleeve was divided from body, decrease 1 stitch on
each side of marker thread (= 2 stitches decreased) - read DECREASE TIP. Decrease like this every 3½-3-
2½-1½-1½-1½ cm 10-10-13-17-18-19 times in total = 49-51-53-55-57-59 stitches. Work until piece
measures 39-38-37-35-34-32 cm from division. Knit 1 round and decrease 1-3-1-3-1-3 stitches evenly =

48-48-52-52-56-56 stitches. Switch to double pointed needles size 3.5 mm and work rib with knit 2/purl 2.
Cast off by knitting when sleeve measures 43-42-41-39-38-36 cm from division – use if needed a thicker
needle to cast off to avoid a tight edge. Work the other sleeve the same way.
