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.
