Notes
1 . First and last sts along all details are selvage sts , even if it ’ s not mentioned further in pattern . 2 . While casting on for bottom rib with thinner yarn B , do not forget to leave long enough yarn tails for seaming and joining pieces later on . 3 . The instructions are given for size S , numbers in brackets are for sizes M , L-XL , XXL and XXXL respectively . If there is only one number , it belongs to all sizes . 4 . Make sure you have a separate skein of yarn for pockets before you start to work on fronts . 5 . For back neckline shaping , a technique of short rows by Aistė Butkevičienė ( aisteb1973 ) is used .
