Work the body of sweater in single piece and top-down technique, beginning from yoke and ending to lower rib band. Across the pattern of yoke work 10 increases (2 for neckline and 8 for raglans) every knit r., 6 times.Work the sleeves into the openings you have left across the pattern of body.

POINTS USED
Stocking stitch
1st r. (RS): knit.
2nd r. (WS): purl.
Always rep. 1st and 2nd r.
Stocking stitch in round: knit every round.
Rib 1/1
1st r.: (k1, p1) across the entire r.
2nd r. and next r.: work the stitches as they appear.
Rib 1/1 in round: (k1, p1) across the entire r. and every row.
Outer increase (RS): work the yarn between right and left needle. Using right needle lift the yarn then, using left needle, pick-up and twist it
Inner increase (RS): work same st. twice, first time as usual, second time through back loop, at last drop.
Left decrease (RS): skp (slip 1, knit next st., pass slipped st. over knitted st.)
Right decrease (RS): k2tog.
Invisible closing in round: slip 1st st. of left needle onto right needle. Pass 2nd st. of right needle over 1st st. and drop it. Now pull decisively 2 yarns tog. (yarn of ball and end of cast-on yarn); the dropped st. tighten itself shaping one knot and fixing the ring; this is the invisible closing. At last, move 1st st. of right point onto left needle, place the SM onto right point.
INSTRUCTIONS
BODY
Use circular needles with size 12 mm points, but don’t close in round.
Using triple yarn cast-on 30 sts.
1st r. (RS): k3, place 1 SM, k6, place 1 SM, k12, place 1 M SM k6, place 1 SM, k3 [3-6-12-6-3 sts.]
2nd r. (WS): purl.
3rd r. (RS): pass 1st st., 1 outer incr., k1, 1 inner incr., move 1st SM, 1 inner incr., * knit until 1 st. before the SM, 1 inner incr., move 2nd SM 1 inner incr. *, rep. from * to * for rem. 2 SM, end with k1, 1 outer incr. and k1 [5-8-14-8-5 sts.]
4th r. (WS): purl
5th r. (RS): pass 1st st., 1 outer incr., * knit until 1 st. before SM, 1 inner incr., move SM, 1 inner incr. *, rep. from * to * for rem. 3 SM, knit until second to last st. included, 1 outer incr. and k1 [7-10-16-10-7 sts.]
6th r. (WS): purl
7th r. (RS): rep. 5th r. [9-12-18-12-9 sts.]
8th r. (WS): purl
9th r. (RS): rep. 5th r. [11-14-20-14-11 sts.]

20th r. (WS): purl
21st r. (RS): rep. 5th r. [23-26-32-26-23 sts.]
22nd r. (WS): purl
Across next r. leave the sts. for sleeves.
23rd r. (RS): slip 1st st., 1 outer incr., knit until 1 st. before SM, 1 inner incr., remove SM and leave (on cable needle or on waste-yarn) all sts. until next SM, cast-on 4 sts. for armhole, knit until next SM, remove SM and leave all sts. until next SM, remove SM and cast-on 4 sts. for armhole, knit the rem. sts.
NB: the measure of descending raglan diagonal of collar is 23/24 cm approx.
Across these rows, you have shaped V-neckline, then close in round and cont. working in round.
Begin the invisible closing in round; so there is one stitch less on front side (you have lost it for closing). Place 1 SMb.
From 24th to 53rd round: knit until SMb.
Rib 1/1 lower band
From 54 to 59th r.: (k1, p1) across the entire round until SM.
At last, bind off all sts as they appear. Hide the ends on WS.
SLEEVES (x 2)
Leave the stitches you have left for one of 2 sleeves on circular needles with 12 mm points and shorter cable, then work in round.
1st round: using triple yarn and circular needles with 12 mm points, pick-up 5 sts. around undersleeve (you have cast-on across 23rd r. of the body), place 1 SMb and knit until end of round.
From 2nd to 29th round: knit until SM.
Use 10 mm points.
From 30th to 39th round: knit until SM.
Across next round, for cuff shrinking, start the decreases.
From 40th to 43rd round: 1 right decrease, knit until 2 sts. before SM, 1 left decrease.
From 44th to 50th round: knit until SM.
Bind off all sts. Hide the ends on WS.
Work second sleeve like first one.
