Work A.3 over A.2. After first round of A.3, there are 195-225-240-270-285-330 sts on needle. On last round in A.3 (see star in diagram) dec or inc differently in the different sizes:
Size S and XXL:
Inc 4 sts evenly = 199-289 sts.
Size M-L-XL-XXXL:
Dec 2-5-5-5 sts evenly = 223-235-265-325 sts.
REMEMBER THE KNITTING TENSION Then work as follows: A.4 (= 6 sts) 33-37-39-44-48-54 times in total, finish with 1st sts in the diagram. Repeat A.4 3-3-3-3-4-4 times in total vertically. Then work A.5 1 time vertically. On last round in A.5 (see star in diagram), dec 3-3-1-1-3-5 sts evenly = 196-220-234-264-286-320 sts.
After last round in A.5 continue as follows: 4-10-6-6-4-5 sts in stocking st, A.6 6-6-7-8-9-10 times in width, 8-20-12-12-8-10 sts in stocking st, A.6 6-6-7-8-9-10 times in width, 4-10-6-6-4-5 sts in stocking st.

Repeat A.2 5-5-6-5-5-6 times in total vertically. AT THE SAME TIME when piece measures 44-45-46-47-48-49 cm, cast off for armhole as follows: Cast off the first 2-3-1-2-2-2 sts, 2-7-5-4-2-3 sts in stocking st, A.2 6-6-7-8-9-10 times in width as before, 2-7-5-4-2-3 sts in stocking st, cast off the next 4-6-2-4-4-4 sts, 2-7-5-4-2-3 sts in stocking st, A.2 6-6-7-8-9-10 times in width as before, 2-7-5-4-2-3 sts in stocking st, cast off the last 2-3-1-2-2-2 sts = 106-116-129-144-157-176 sts on front piece and 106-116-129-144-157-176 sts on back piece. Now finish each part separately. Fasten off.
BACK PIECE:
= 106-116-127-144-157-176 sts. When A.2 has been worked 5-5-6-5-5-6 times vertically, work A.3 over A.2. When A.3 has been worked 1 time vertically, there are 94-104-115-128-139-156 sts on needle. Then work as follows from RS: 2-1-5-1-2-3 sts in stocking st, A.4 6-7-7-9-9-11 times in total, 18-18-21-18-27-18 sts in stocking st, A.13 6-7-7-9-9-11 times in total, 2-1-5-1-2-3 sts in stocking st.
When the first 4 rows of A.4/A.13 have been worked, slip the middle 12-12-13-14-15-16 sts on a stitch holder for neck and finish each shoulder separately (= 41-46-51-57-62-70 sts). Continue to cast off for neck on every row from neck as follows: Cast off 3 sts 1 time, 2 sts 2 times, 1 st 4-4-5-4-5-4 times = 30-35-39-46-50-59 sts remain for shoulder.
When A.4/A.13 have been worked 1 time vertically, work piece in off white and stocking st until finished measurements. Work 1 ridge over all sts when piece measures 59-61-63-65-67-69 cm. Cast off. Work the other shoulder the same way.

AT THE SAME TIME when piece measures 12-10-10-10-10-10 cm, inc 1 st on each side of marker – see INCREASE TIP. Repeat inc every 3?-3-2?-2?-2-1? cm 10-12-14-13-16-18 more times = 67-71-75-79-85-89 sts. When A.13 has been worked 1 time vertically, work piece in off white and stocking st until finished measurements. Cast off when piece measures 51-49-48-46-44-42 cm (shorter measurements in the larger sizes because of longer sleeve cap and wider shoulders). Knit another sleeve the same way.
