LEG:

When piece measures 14 cm inc 1 st each side of marker, and repeat the inc on every 2-2-3 (4-

BODY:
Slip both legs on the same circular needle size 5 mm with the inside of legs towards each other
= 88-96-108 (116-128) sts. Now continue back and forth on circular needle from mid front as
follows (first row = RS): Cast on 3 new sts on needle, K all sts on row and cast on 3 new sts at

side (= 44-48-54 (58-64) sts between markers on back piece). Continue in stocking st with 5 sts
each side towards mid front in garter st (= front bands). AT THE SAME TIME when piece

pieces separately.
BACK PIECE:

of every row each side for sleeves: 3 sts 2-1-3 (1-2) times, 5 sts 1-2-1 (2-2) times, 7 sts 1-1-1
(2-2) times and then 9-10-12 (14-16) sts 1 time = 98-108-120 (140-156) sts on needle. When
piece measures 55-64-73 (79-87) cm cast off the middle 16-18-18 (20-20) sts for neck and
complete each shoulder/sleeve separately. Work 2 rows stocking st on the remaining 41-45-51
(60-68) sts and cast off LOOSELY.
