At the end back neck is lifted by 6( 6, 6, 6, 8, 8, 10) rows or 2( 2, 2, 2, 2,5, 2,5, 3) cm. 3.

Sleeve( make 2)
With US4( 3,5 mm) needles CO 47( 49, 51, 53, 53, 55, 57) sts using a Long Tail Cast On method. Start to work in Basketweave st pattern following sleeve chart. Start with selvage st and st of respective size.
Then follow instructions for sleeve shaping, at the same time work 12 bottom rows with US4( 3,5 mm) needles, next 12 rows with US5( 3,75 mm) and then switch to main US6( 4,0 mm) needles.
Sleeve shaping
Once you have worked 8( 8, 8, 6, 6, 4, 4) rows, work increase row for sleeve shaping, 2 sts increased.
Rep increase row 13( 7, 15, 8, 18, 5, 8) more times in every 10 th( 8 th, 8 th, 6 th, 6 th, 4 th, 4 th) row and –( 7, –, 8, –, 14, 11) times in every –( 10 th, –, 8 th, –, 6 th, 6 th) row. 28( 30, 32, 34, 38, 40, 40) sts increased, there are 75( 79, 83, 87, 91, 95, 97) sts now on needles.
Continue to work straight until sleeve length is 144( 144, 138, 126, 120, 114, 108) rows or 12( 12, 11,5, 10,5, 10, 9,5, 9) pattern reps. End with WS row.
Triangular sleeve cap
Work the next RS row to last 10( 11, 12, 12, 13, 13, 14) sts, wrap the next st and turn, work WS row to last 10( 11, 12, 12, 13, 13, 14) sts, wrap the next st and turn.
* In the next RS row work to 10( 11, 12, 12, 13, 13, 14) sts before wrapped st, wrap the next st and turn, work WS row to 10( 11, 12, 12, 13, 13, 14) sts before wrapped st, wrap next st and turn. Rep from * once more.
Work RS and WS alignment rows, working over all wrapped sts. While working alignment rows try to follow st pattern which is determined by short rows segments below. Transfer all sts to a spare circular needle. Leave long enough yarn tail for sewing in sleeves.
