There are different terms for crocheting in British and American English. If this pattern includes crochet, click for "crochet terms" here. For this pattern in British English, please click here.NEW BALL TIPS:
When switching ball with Polaris, split the old strand in two on the last 15 cm / 6'' – cut off one part, do the same on the new strand. Place the first and last 15 cm / 6'' on top of each other so that the yarn is the normal thickness and continue to work – this is done to make the transition invisible.
PATTERN:
See diagrams M.1 and M.2. The diagrams show all rows in pattern seen from RS.
--------------------------------------------------------
RIGHT FRONT PIECE + SLEEVE:
Worked back and forth on a circular needle to make room for all the sts. READ TIP FOR SWITCHING THREADS!
Cast on 23-24-26-27-29-31 sts on circular needle size 15 mm / US 19 with Polaris. The first 12 sts on needle (seen from RS) are worked according to diagram M.1, K 4 rows over the remaining sts before continuing these in stockinette st. REMEMBER THE GAUGE!
When piece measures 25-26-27-28-29-30 cm / 9¾''-10¼''-10 5/8''-11''-11 3/8''-11¾'', inc 1 st in the side. Repeat inc when piece measures 31-32-33-34-35-36 cm / 12¼''-12½''-13''-13 3/8''-13¾''-14¼'' = 25-26-28-29-31-33 sts.
When piece measures 35-36-37-38-39-40 cm / 13¾''-14¼''-14½''-15''-15¼''-15¾'', cast on 10-10-9-8-7-6 new sts at the end of next row from RS = 35-36-37-37-38-39 sts on needle. Insert a marker - NOW MEASURE PIECE FROM HERE! Work the new sts in stockinette st except the outermost edge st which is K on all rows.
When piece measures approx. 19-20-21-22-23-24 cm / 7½''-8''-8¼''-8¾''-9''-9½'' from marker (adjust so that next row is worked from RS), work the first 12 sts as before according to diagram M.1, then slip these sts on a stitch holder = 23-24-25-25-26-27 sts remain on needle, work the rest of row. Insert another marker (= mid on top of shoulder) – NOW MEASURE PIECE FROM HERE!
Work 2 rows back and forth over sts on needle. Slip sts on a stitch holder and put piece aside.
LEFT FRONT PIECE + SLEEVE:
Work as right front piece but reversed - work diagram M.2 instead of diagram M.1. Work the 12 sts in diagram M.2 at the top by shoulder from WS before slipping them on a stitch holder. Work the rest of row, continue with back piece without slipping sts on a stitch holder.
BACK PIECE:
Work 1st row from RS as follows: Work sts from left front piece + sleeve, cast on 9-9-9-11-11-11 new sts (= back of neck) and work right front piece + sleeve on to circular needle = 55-57-59-61-63-65 sts. Continue back and forth in stockinette st with K1 edge st in each side on all rows, until piece measures 21-22-23-24-25-26 cm / 8¼''-8¾''-9''-9½''-9¾''-10¼'' from marker mid on top of shoulder.
On next row bind off the first and last 10-10-9-8-7-6 sts, cut the yarn. Work in stockinette st over the remaining 35-37-41-45-49-53 sts until piece measures 28-29-30-31-32-33 cm / 11''-11 3/8''-11¾''-12¼''-12½''-13''. Now dec 1 st in each side. Repeat dec when piece measures 34-35-36-37-38-39 cm / 13 3/8''-13¾''-14¼''-14½''-15''-15¼'' = 31-33-37-41-45-49 sts.
Continue to work until piece measures approx. 53-55-57-59-61-63 cm / 21''-21 5/8''-22½''-23¼''-24''-24¾'' (adjust so that next row is worked from WS). K 3 rows over all sts, then loosely bind off.
COLLAR:
Slip the 12 sts from stitch holder on right front piece back on circular needle. Cast on 1 new st towards the shoulder = 13 sts. Work diagram M.1 with K1 edge st in the side on all rows. When collar measures approx. 7-7-7-8-8-8 cm / 2¾''-2¾''-2¾''-3 1/8''- 3 1/8''- 3 1/8'', bind off. Work the same way over sts from stitch holder on left front piece. Sew collar parts tog edge to edge mid back, and sew collar to back of neck inside edge st.
ASSEMBLY:
Sew sleeve and side seam in one, sew tog edge to edge in outermost loops of edge sts to avoid a chunky seam.
