BODY
Cast on (128) 136 (146) 162 (172) 188 (202) st(s) on round needles 4 mm.
Place a SM at the start of the round, and after (64) 68 (73) 81 (86) 94 (101) st(s).

Work ribbed (K1, P1) until the bodice measures 12 cm.

The increase for a fitted bodice starts at the next round.
Work ribbed until there is 1 st(s) left until the SM, increase 1, K1, move SM, K1,
increase 1. Do the same for the next SM.
Increase like this every 3 cm in total 5 times = 20 st(s) increased.
The increased new stitches are always knit (not purled), so the ribbing will not be
true in the sides.
Continue with the ribbing for the rest of the jumper, so knit over knit-stitches and
purl over purl-stitches.

You now have (148) 156 (166) 182 (192) 208 (222) st(s).

Continue until the bodice measures (24) 25 (26) 27 (28) 30 (32) cm or to your
wanted length, and cast off 8 st(s) on each sides for sleeves. (4 st(s) on each side of
the SM).

You now have (132) 140 (150) 166 (176) 192 (206) st(s) in total, (66) 70 (75) 83 (88)
96 (103) st(s) on each side.

SLEEVES
Cast on (34) 36 (36) 40 (42) 44 (48) st(s) on circular needles 3,5mm.
Work ribbed (K1, P1) for 11cm. Place a stitchmarker at the start of the round - this
marks the underarm and start.
The ribbing is now done. Change to circular needles 4mm, and knit stockinette
whilst increasing (10) 10 (10) (10) 12 (12) 14 stitches evenly throughout the first
round.

Continue in stockinette, and when the sleeve measures 30cm, increase like this;
K1, increase 1, knit until there is 1 stitch left before the SM, increase 1, K1. This is
done every (2) 2 (2) 2 (1,5) 1 (1) cm a total of (6) 6 (7) 8 (10) 12 (14) times.

You now have (58) 58 (62) 66 (74) 80 (90) st(s) on the sleeve.
Knit until the sleeve measures (46) 46 (48) 49 (50) 50 (52) cm or until wished sleeve
length. Cast off 8 stitches for the underarm (4 on each side of the SM).

You now have (50) 50 (54) 58 (66) 72 (82) st(s) on the sleeve.

Knit another sleeve the same way.

RAGLAN
The sleeves will now be knit onto the same needles as the bodice.
Work ribbed until the first cast-off armhole st(s), and knit the first sleeve onto your
needles in stockinette. Repeat for the next cast-off armhole st(s).
Place SMs at each divide between sleeve and bodice = 4 in total.

Continue knitting the increased st(s) in the sides with knit-stitches, as these will
later be «eaten up» by the raglan.
Work in the round for 4 rounds - the body ribbed and the sleeves in stockinette.

At the next round the raglan decrease starts;

Work ribbed until there are 2 st(s) left before the first SM. Slip 1 st(s), K1, put the
slipped stitch over the knit one, move the SM, K2 together.
Knit stockinette out the sleeve until there are 2 st(s) left before the second SM
repeat the raglan decrease. Work ribbed until the second sleeve and repeat.
The st(s) on the outside of each SM are always knit (not purled) regardless of the
ribbing of the bodice.
The next round is knit without any decreases. Remember to knit the st(s) on the
outside of each SM in knit-stitches.

PUFF-SLEEVES & NECKLINE

(6) 6 (6) 6 (7) 7 (7) 7 (7) times (6/7 rounds
with raglan decrease, 6/7 rounds without = 12/14 rounds in total), the shaping for
puff-shoulders start. While doing this, continue doing the raglan decrease.

The increase for puff-shoulders is done by placing 3 SMs inside each sleeve.
Place 1 SM in the middle of the sleeve, then one SM 3st(s) on the left of the middle
SM, and one SM 3st(s) on the right of the middle SM.
Knit until there is 1 st(s) left before the first puff-SM, increase 1, K1, move SM,
increase 1. Repeat for the other two puff-SM, then for the next sleeve.
Remember to continue with the raglan.

The next round is worked with no puff-shoulder increases.

The puff-sleeve increases are knit a total of total of (6) 6 (6) 6 (7) 8 (8) times, whilst
continuing with the raglan decrease. (6 round with puff-sleeve increase, 6 rounds
without = 12 rounds in total. 7 = 14. 8 = 16).
Once the puff-sleeve increase is done the puff-sleeve SMs can be removed.
Work as before with the bodice ribbed and the sleeves in stockinette, with raglan,
until there are (32) 34 (37) 41 (44) 46 (49) st(s) on the front of the bodice between
the sleeves.
On the next round with raglan-decrease the sleeves are to be ruched by knitting 2
and 2 st(s) together (k2tog) like this;
Work ribbed until there are 2st(s) left before the first SM, slip 1 st(s), K1, put the
slipped stitch over the knit one, move the SM, *k2tog, k2tog* until there are 2st(s)
left, slip 1 st(s), K1, put the slipped stitch over the knit one, move the SM, K2
together.
Repeat for the other sleeve.

Work the next round without any ruching or raglan-decreases.

Work the next round with the same ruching technique as before. Remember raglan.
The ruching is now done.
From the now on the raglan changes slightly, and is only to be done on the INSIDE
of the sleeves, not on the bodice. Work ribbed until the first SM, move it, K2
together. Knit until 2 st(s) before the second SM, slip 1 st(s), K1, put the slipped
stitch over the knit one, move the SM. Repeat at the next sleeve.

The next round is worked with no decreases, same as before.

Do this new raglan-decrease 3 times (3 round with decrease, 3 rounds without = 6

rounds in total).

From now on the jumper is worked back and forth to create the keyhole opening at
the back of the neck.
All stitches are now worked ribbed including the sleeves.
Find the middle of the backpiece, and work ribbed until you reach this point.
Turn your work around and work ribbed the other way.

make it so a stitch to or from

Work 10cm from the start of the keyhole

opening.
This creates a half-high neckline, but if you want a higher neckline continue for as
many cm as desired.
The brown jumper is knit with this neck-length, and the cream is knit with 7cm
extra length for the neckline.
A buttonhole is now made; Work ribbed until 4 st(s) remain, yarn over needle, K2
together (Knit or purl depending on the ribbing), and rib the last 2 st(s).
Work 2 rounds ribbed, and cast off all st(s) on the 3rd round.

ALMOST DONE!
Fasten all loose threads, sew the underarms together and sew on a button at the
back of the neck.
