BODY:
Worked back and forth on circular needle from mid front.
Cast on 214-235-256-277-305-333 sts (includes 5 band sts in each side towards mid front) on circular needle size 3 mm / US 2.5 with wine red. P 1 row from WS. Work next row as follows from RS: 5 band sts in GARTER ST – see explanation above, * K 1, P 2, K 1, P 3 *, repeat from *-* until 6 sts remain on row and finish with K 1 and 5 band sts in GARTER ST. Continue like this until rib measures approx. 3 cm / 1'' – remember BUTTONHOLE on right band – see explanation above. On next row from RS, dec all 3 P sts to 2 P sts = 185-203-221-239-263-287 sts on needle. Insert 2 markers in the piece; 49-53-58-62-68-74 sts in from each side (= 87-97-105-115-127-139 sts between markers on back piece). Switch to circular needle size 4 mm / US 6 and P 1 row from WS with wine red (bands in garter st). Work next row as follows from RS: 5 band sts in garter st, work pattern according to diagram A.1 until 6 sts remain on row, work 1st st in A.1 (so that pattern is the same in each side towards mid front) and finish with 5 band sts in garter st. Continue the pattern like this. REMEMBER THE KNITTING GAUGE. When A.1 has been worked, continue in stockinette st and light gray (continue bands in garter st). When piece measures 8 cm / 3'', dec 1 st on each side of both markers - READ DECREASE TIP 1 (= 4 sts dec). Repeat dec when piece measures 15 and 22 cm / 6" and 8 3/4" = 173-191-209-227-251-275 sts. When piece measures 28 cm / 11'', inc 1 st on each side of both markers - READ INCREASE TIP (= 4 sts inc). Repeat inc every 2?-2?-3-3-3?-3? cm / 7/8"-7/8"-1 1/8"-1 1/8"-1 1/4"-1 1/4" 2 more times (= 3 times in total) = 185-203-221-239-263-287 sts. When piece measures approx. 35-36-37-38-39-40 cm / 13?''-14?''-14?''-15''-15?''-15?'' – make sure that next row is from WS, bind off the middle 10-10-10-12-12-12 sts in each side for armholes (i.e. Bind off 5-5-5-6-6-6 sts on each side of both markers) = 77-87-95-103-115-127 sts remain on back piece and 44-48-53-56-62-68 sts remain on each front piece.
Put piece aside and knit the sleeves.
SLEEVE:
Worked in the round on double pointed needles. Cast on 56-56-56-63-63-63 sts on double pointed needles size 3 mm / US 2.5 with wine red. K 1 round. Then work rib as follows: * K 1, P 2, K 1, P 3 *, repeat from *-* the entire round.
When rib measures approx. 3 cm / 1'', dec all 3 P sts to 2 P sts = 48-48-48-54-54-54 sts remain on needle. Insert 1 marker at beg of round (= mid under sleeve).
Switch to double pointed needles size 4 mm / US 6 and K 1 round with wine red. Then continue pattern in the round according to diagram A.1. After A.1 continue in stockinette st with light gray. When piece measures 8-9-6-9-12-10 cm / 4'', inc 1 st on each side of marker – see INCREASE TIP. Repeat inc every 2?-2-2-2-1?-1? cm / 7/8"-3/4"-3/4"-3/4"-?"-?" 12-14-16-14-16-18 more times (= 13-15-17-15-17-19 times in total) = 74-78-82-84-88-92 sts.
When piece measures 41-41-40-40-39-39 cm / 16 1/8''-16 1/8''-15?''-15?''-15?''-15?'' (shorter measurements in the larger sizes because of wider shoulders), bind off 10-10-10-12-12-12 sts mid under sleeve (i.e. bind off 5-5-5-6-6-6 sts on each side of marker) = 64-68-72-72-76-80 sts remain on needle. Put piece aside and make another sleeve.
YOKE:
Slip sleeves on to same circular needle as body where armholes were bound off = 293-319-345-359-391-423 sts.
Insert 1 marker in all transitions between sleeves and body piece = 4 markers. Beg from RS and work in stockinette st with light gray AT THE SAME TIME on first row dec for raglan on each side of the 4 markers – READ DECREASE 2 (= 8 sts dec).
Repeat dec every other row (i.e. on every row from RS), 6-7-9-6-7-9 more times (= 7-8-10-7-8-10 times in total) = 237-255-265-303-327-343 sts.
After last row with dec, P 1 row from WS (bands in garter st) AT THE SAME TIME dec 10-4-14-4-4-20 sts evenly (do not dec over bands) = 227-251-251-299-323-323 sts on needle.
Work next row as follows from RS: 5 band sts as before, work pattern according to diagram A.2 (choose diagram for size) until 6 sts remain on row, work 1st st in A.2 (so that pattern is the same in each side towards mid front) and finish with 5 band sts in garter st. Continue with pattern and dec until A.2 has been worked vertically = 146-161-161-179-193-193 sts remain on needle. K 1 row from RS with light gray while AT THE SAME TIME dec 30-39-39-45-47-47 sts evenly (do not dec over band sts) = 116-122-122-134-146-146 sts. P 1 row from WS.
Work next row as follows from RS: 5 band sts in garter st as before, work pattern according to diagram A.3 until 6 sts remain on row, finish with first st in A.3 and 5 band sts as before. After A.3, P 1 row from WS with wine red.
NECK EDGE:
Switch to circular needle size 3 mm / US 2.5 and continue with wine red as follows (1st row = RS): 5 band sts in garter st, * K 1, P 2 *, repeat from *-* until 6 sts remain on row and finish with K 1 and 5 band sts in garter st. Continue rib like this – remember last buttonhole on right band/neck edge. AT THE SAME TIME after 2 rows rib work an elevation in the neck with short rows as follows: Work rib (and band) as before until 35-35-38-38-41-41 sts remain on needle, turn and work rib back until 35-35-38-38-41-41 sts remain on the other side. Turn and work rib until 41-41-44-44-47-47 sts remain on needle, turn and work rib back until 41-41-44-44-47-47 sts remain on the other side. Turn and work rib until 44-44-47-47-50-50 sts remain on needle, turn and work rib back until 44-44-47-47-50-50 sts remain on the other side. Turn piece and work rib rest of the row. Then continue rib back and forth over all sts as before until rib measures approx. 3 cm / 1'' at the most narrow mid front. On next row from RS, dec every other 2 P sts to 1 P st (beg with the 2 first P sts after band) = 98-103-103-113-123-123 sts remain on needle. Then loosely bind off with K over K and P over P. Yoke measures approx. 25-26-27-28-29-30 cm / 9?''-10?''-10 5/8''-11''-11 3/8''-11?'' including neck edge and the entire jacket measures approx. 60-62-64-66-68-70 cm / 23 5/8''-24 3/8''-25?''-26''-26?''-27?''.
