17 sts and 27 rs/rnds in double moss stitch on knitting needle size 4½ mm = 10 x 10 cm.
14 sts and 27 rs/rnds in cable pattern on knitting needle size 4½ mm = 5 x 10 cm.
If only one figure is stated, that figure applies to all sizes.
Rib: k1, p1 to end.
Cable (over 4 sts): Follow the pattern chart. The chart shows only the odd number rows /rounds. In even number rnds/WS rs, work k over k and p over p.
Repeat rs/rnds 1-6.
Double moss stitch: R/rnd 1: k1, p1 to end.
R/rnd 2: p over p and k over k. R/rnd 3: p over k and k over p.
R/rnd 4: p over p and k over k. Rep these 4 rs/rnds.
Decreasing (dec): At right-hand side of the work: 1 edge stitch, 5 stitches in cable pattern, p2tog. At the left-hand side of the work: p2tog, 5 sts in cable pattern, 1 edge stitch.
Front and back worked together on a circular needle up to underarm
Using circular needle size 4½ mm, cast on 112 (120) 128 (136) sts. Work 2.5 cm rib.
Set a stitch marker (sm) at each side seam = 56 (60) 64 (68) sts each on front and back.
Now divide the stitches as follows: 7 sts in cable pattern (start at arrow), * 14 (16) 18 (20) sts in double moss stitch, 14 sts in cable pattern* and repeat from * to * 3 times, 14 (16) 18 (20) sts in double moss stitch, 7 sts in cable pattern (ending at arrow).
When the work measures 15.5 (18.5) 19.5 (20.5) cm, divide the work at the sides (underarm). At the same time, divide the front for the
V-neck = 28 (30) 32 (34) sts for each half of the front. Work the left half of the front first. In alternate rows, dec 1 st at both sides (see decreasing) 7 (8) 9 (10) times = 14 sts. Now, in alternate rows, p2tog at the centre of the 14 sts, twice = 12 sts. When the work measures 27 (29) 31 (33) cm, cast off these 12 sts. Work the right half of the front in the same way.
Back
Armhole shaping: In alternate rows, dec 1 st at both sides for the armhole (see decreases) 7 (8) 9 (10) times = 42 (44) 46 (48) sts.
Neck edge shaping: When the work measures 26 (28) 30 (32) cm, cast off the centre 18 (20) 22 (24) sts for the neckline.
Now work each half separately.
When the work measures 27 (29) 31 (33) cm, cast off the rem 12 sts. Work the other side in reverse.
Finishing
Sew shoulder seams.
