Divide the work into two parts 120 (132 - 132 - 144) sts for the front and 120 (132 - 132 - 144) sts for the back and begin working flat in back-and-forth rows.

Slip the front sts on hold on waste yarn and begin working the back.

BACK:

Work in stockinette stitch

Row 1 (WS): p1, M1Lp, purl until 1 st before end of row, M1Rp, p1.

Row 2 (RS): knit.

Work 13,5 (14.5 - 15 – 16.5) cm in stockinette flat

Back neck and shoulders shaping, using size 3 mm tips and short row technique wrap and turn

Row 1 (WS): 2x2 rib until 4 stitches before the end of the row, wrap and turn.

Row 2 (RS): 2x2 rib until 4 sts before the end of the row, wrap and turn.

Row 3 (WS): 2x2 rib until 4 sts before the wrapped st, wrap and turn.

Row 4 (RS): 2x2 rib until before the wrapped st, wrap and turn.

Repeat rows 3 and 4, 7 (7 -8-8) more times.

After working the repetitions, continue as follows:

Row 1 (WS): purl the wrapped stitches of the left shoulder, 2x2 rib for the neck section, purl the wrapped stitches of the right shoulder

Row 2 (RS): knit the wrapped stitches of the left shoulder, 2x2 rib for the neck section, knit the wrapped stitches of the right shoulder

Row 3 (WS): purl the wrapped stitches of the left shoulder, 2x2 rib for the neck section, purl the wrapped stitches of the right shoulder.

Slip the stitches on waste yarn.

FRONT:

Work as given for the back.

Join both shoulders using the three-needle bind-off technique: distribute the sts of back and front shoulder over two different knitting needles, put them beside and using a third knitting needle bind off the sts picking up 1 st from each knitting needle.

Continue in the same way with the next stitch: each new worked stitch will be passed over the previous one on the third needle; you obtain a soft and smooth chain edge. Continue to bind off all stitches loosely.

After working the last stitch, cut the yarn leaving a few centimeters of tail and pass it through the last loop to secure the bind-off firmly.

COLLAR:

Pick up the neckline stitches and using size 3 mm tips and 60 cm cable work in 2x2 rib

When dividing the work into 2x2 ribs, there are 4 purl sts on both the right shoulder and the left shoulder. Purl them (8 rounds). Across round 9, once reached that point, work p2tog and again p2tog to have a uniform 2x2 rib and a better shaping of the neck.

Continue working 32 rounds in 2x2 rib.

After working 32 rounds in rib 2x2, at the position of the 2 purl sts of the shoulders, increase 2 stitches in purl (2 sts each side).

Work the stitches as they appear for 8 rounds.

Bind off all stitches loosely.

SLEEVES:

Using size 3.5 tips, 80 cm cable and color 18, starting from the armhole, pick up 52 stitches as follows: 2 sts from the undersleeve, 48 (54 - 60 - 60) sts from the armhole, 2 sts from the undersleeve, insert the SM of beginning an end round.
