@aisteb1973 Notes 1. The first and the last sts along all details are selvage sts, even if it’s not mentioned further in the pattern. 2. While casting on for bottom rib and binding off, do not forget to leave long enough yarn tails for seaming and joining pieces later on. 3. For short rows back neckline shaping, technique of Aistė Butkevičienė (aisteb1973) is used.

The instructions are given for size XS-S, the numbers in brackets are for sizes M-L and XL-XXL respectively. If there is only one number, it belongs to all sizes. 5. The height of armholes is larger than the width of sleeves. Extra length of armholes is eased while setting in sleeves, it improves armhole and shoulder fitting and reduces the possibility of unwanted wrinkles appearance, that is common for drop shoulder sleeves. 6. In order to maintain the main lace cable pattern on top of the pieces and near the neckline, continue to work in pattern every time when it’s possible, even in short and alignment rows as well as while shaping the neckline. Make cables near the neckline even if there are not enough sts for the whole cable. If you miss some attributes of the pattern you will have solid blocks of stockinette sts, that will interrupt the pattern. 7. Symmetrical button arrangement and distance calculations between them strictly depend on the length of the garment. The length of the garment can be changed only by the interval that is equal the distance between 2 button holes. Stitch patterns and techniques Lace cable pattern: see the chart. Rib 1 x 1: *k1, p1, rep from *. Selvage stitch (braid): slip the first stitch to the right needle in the beginning of each row, the last stitch of each row knit or purl depending on the side, transfer working thread avoiding wrapping the first stitch. Alignment row: used for flattering steps which were created while working on short rows. Pick up the wrap with the left needle, releasing the stitch which was wrapped and knit (or purl) them together. The wrap always should stay on the WS.
