Work according to the chart.
Begin with 1 edge stitch and 1 stitch before the pattern repeat, repeat the pattern repeat throughout, finish with 1 stitch after the pattern repeat and 1 edge stitch.
In height work rows 1 to 30 once, then repeat rows 7 to 30 throughout.


Gauge:
36 stitches and 48 rows = 2 x 2 pattern repeats = 12.5 x 13 cm (5 x 5.1 in).

Back:
Cast on 134 (150) stitches.
For the hem work 24 rows in reverse stockinette stitch; in row 24 increase 1 stitch after the 8th stitch and 13 (15) times 1 stitch after every 9 stitches = 148 (166) stitches.
Work in the main pattern = 8 (9) pattern repeats.
After row 18 (6) of the 9th (10th) pattern repeat = 216 (228) rows = 58.5 (62) cm / 23 (24.5) in from the hem, bind off all stitches.

Front:
Work as for the back, but for the neckline after row 6 (18) of the 8th pattern repeat = 180 (192) rows = 48.5 (52) cm / 19 (20.5) in from the hem, bind off the middle 42 stitches.
Then finish each side separately, working the second side as a mirror of the first.

Sleeves:
With needles size 2.5 mm cast on 84 stitches for the cuff and work 48 rows in stockinette stitch.
In row 48 = 12 cm / 4.7 in from the beginning, increase 1 stitch after the 6th stitch and 9 times 1 stitch after every 8 stitches = 94 stitches.
Work in the main pattern = 5 pattern repeats.
For sleeve shaping, in row 3 and 13 times alternately in every 4th and every 2nd row increase 1 stitch on both sides.
After row 6 of the 4th pattern repeat = 84 rows = 23 cm / 9 in from the cuff, bind off all 148 stitches.
Work the second sleeve in the same way.

Sew the seams, leaving openings of 25.5 cm / 10 in for the armholes.
Fold the hem to the inside, fold the sleeve cuffs in half to the outside and sew using mattress stitch.
For the neckline band pick up 132 stitches along the neckline; after 36 rows bind off stitches knitwise loosely.
