Worked back and forth until after vents in the sides. Cast on 102-108-116-124-132-140 sts on circular needle size 5 mm with 2 threads Alpaca Bouclé, cut one of the threads, then work piece with 1 thread. Work in GARTER ST- read explanation above - until piece measures 5 cm. Then work in stocking st with the outermost 8 sts in garter st (= band sts for vent). REMEMBER THE KNITTING TENSION! When piece measures 20-20-21-21-22-22 cm, put piece aside.

Continue in stocking st in the round until piece measures 39-40-41-42-43-44 cm. Insert a marker at beg of round and a marker after 102-108-116-124-132-140 sts (= middle of the sides). Work next round as follows: Work 41-44-47-51-54-58 sts, cast off the next 20-20-22-22-24-24 sts (= middle sts on front piece for neck opening), work the rest of row. Then the piece is worked back and forth from mid front. Continue in stocking st until neck opening measures 3 cm vertically, then dec 1 st (by working tog the 2 outermost sts from neck) in each side, repeat dec for neckline every 4½-4½-4½-5-5-5 cm 5 more times (= 6 times in total). AT THE SAME TIME when piece measures 50-51-52-53-54-55 cm (last row = WS), divide the piece at the markers and finish each part separately.

BACK PIECE:
= 102-108-116-124-132-140 sts. Cast on new sts in each side for sleeve as follows: At the end of the next 2 rows, cast on 19-18-15-13-10-8 sts = 140-144-146-150-152-156 sts. Then work in stocking st with the outermost 8 sts in garter st (= band sts for sleeve in each side). When piece measures 63-65-67-69-71-73 cm, cast off the middle 24-24-26-26-28-28 sts for neck and finish each shoulder separately. Cast off 2 sts on the next 2 rows from neck = 54-56-56-58-58-60 sts remain on shoulder. When piece measures approx. 67-69-71-73-75-77 cm, work in garter st over all sts, loosely cast off when piece measures 68-70-72-74-76-78 cm. NOTE: Make sure that the cast off edge is not too tight.
