In rounds:
Round 1: *k1, p1*.
Round 2: *k1, inserting the needle into the st below (k1b), p1*.
In rows:
Row 1: selvedge st, *k1, inserting the needle into the st below, p1*, selvedge st.
Row 2: selvedge st, *k1, p1*, selvedge st. Repeat from * to *. Repeat rounds/rows 1 and 2 for pattern.
Raglan increase:
The marked st is a knit-below st; in every other rnd, work a yo on each side of this st. In the following rnd, work the yarnovers in the pattern (alternating k and p st).
Garter st in rnds:
Knit 1 rnd, purl 1 rnd in alternation.
Using the 3½ mm circular needle, cast on 92 st and join to work in the round. Work 8 rnds in the border pattern. Change to the 4 mm circular needle and work in garter st for 6 rnds. Then continue working in the basic pattern. After 1 rnd, mark the raglan st as follows: k1 = raglan st, work 13 sts for the left sleeve, k1 = raglan st, work 31 sts for the back, k1 = raglan st, work 13 sts for the right sleeve, k1 = raglan st, work 31 sts for the front. In the following rnd, work the first raglan inc as described above; then work raglan increases every other following rnd 25x (29x) 33x more = 300 (332) 364 sts. After working the last inc, work 1 more rnd without increasing. Then divide your work as follows: 66 (74) 82 sts for the left sleeve, 84 (92) 100 sts for the back, 66 (74) 82 sts for the right sleeve, 84 (92) 100 sts for the front. First continue working the sleeves in rows.
Work for 20 cm in the main pattern. Then change to the 3½ mm needles and continue working in the border pattern. When you have worked the border pattern for 5 cm, bind off all sts loosely in pattern. Work the 2nd sleeve in the same way.
Now continue working the front and back sts in rounds in the main pattern = 168 (184) 200 sts total. When you have worked for 30 (29) 28,5 cm, change to the 3½ mm circular needle and continue working in the border pattern. When you have worked the border pattern for 5 cm, bind off all st loosely in pattern.
