Lower Body
Using 32-inch circular needle, CO 94[106, 118, 130, 142, 154, 166] sts. Do not join.

Work 20 rows in 2x2 Rib.

Next Row [RS]: K19[20, 23, 24, 27, 28, 31], place marker, k4[6, 6, 8, 8, 10, 10], place marker, k4[6, 6, 8, 8, 10, 10], place marker, k40[42, 48, 50, 56, 58, 64], place marker, k4[6, 6, 8, 8, 10, 10], place marker, k4[6, 6, 8, 8, 10, 10], place marker, k19[20, 23, 24, 27, 28, 31]. 6 markers placed; first, third, fourth, and sixth markers indicate waist shaping points, and second and fifth markers indicate side "seam" placement.

Continue in stockinette st until work measures 6[6, 7, 8, 8, 8, 9] inches, ending with a WS row.

Shape Waist
Waist Decrease Row [RS]: K to 2 sts before first marker, ssk, k to third marker, k2tog, k to 2 sts before fourth marker, ssk, k to sixth marker, k2tog, k to end. 4 sts decreased.

Work 5 rows in stockinette st.

Repeat these 6 rows once, then work Waist Decrease Row once more. 82[94, 106, 118, 130, 142, 154] sts.

Work 3 rows in stockinette st. Work measures approx. 9[9, 10, 11, 11, 11, 12] inches. Place a safety pin in your work at end of last row worked (on right front edge).

NOTE: Read ahead! Neckline, waist and raglan shaping are worked at the same time.

Shape Neckline
Neckline Decrease Row [RS]: K2, k2tog, work in patt to last 4 sts, ssk, k2.
Work 9[7, 5, 5, 5, 3, 3] rows in patt as set.
Repeat these 10[8, 6, 6, 6, 4, 4] rows 4[6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 13]. (This shaping will continue to be worked while raglan shaping is being worked.)

AT THE SAME TIME: When work measures 11[11, 12, 13, 13, 13, 14] inches, ending with a WS row, continue waist shaping as follows:

Waist Increase Row [RS]: K to first marker, m1, slip marker, k to third marker, slip marker, m1, k to fourth marker, m1, slip marker, k to sixth marker, slip marker, m1, k to end. 4 sts increased.
Work 5 rows in stockinette st.
Repeat these 6 rows twice more. When waist shaping is complete, remove first, third, fourth, and sixth markers, leaving second and fifth markers in place. There should be 48[54, 60, 66, 72, 78, 84] sts between markers.

Continue in stockinette st, working neckline decreases as set, until work measures 16[16, 17, 18, 18, 18, 19] inches, ending with a RS row.

Next Row [WS]: [P to 3[3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5] sts after marker, place last 6[6, 8, 8, 8, 10, 10] sts worked on hold on waste yarn, removing marker] twice, p to end. Set work aside and work sleeves. Do not break yarn; begin a new ball of yarn for sleeve.

Make a note of how many neckline decreases have been worked, and how many rows have been worked since the last decrease. When you begin working the raglan yoke, you will continue working the neckline decrease sequence.

Sleeves
Using double-point needles, CO 28[28, 32, 32, 32, 36, 36] sts. Divide between needles and join to begin working in the round, being careful not to twist. After the first few rounds have been worked, place a split ring marker or safety pin in your work to indicate beginning of round.

Work 20 rounds in 2x2 Rib.

K 8 rounds.

Sleeve Increase Round: K2, m1, k to last 2 sts, m1, k2.
K 9[9, 7, 6, 6, 6, 5] rounds.
Repeat these 10[10, 8, 7, 7, 7, 6] rounds 4[5, 6, 7, 8, 8, 9] times more. 38[40, 46, 48, 50, 54, 56] sts.

Continue in stockinette st until work measures 17.5[18, 18, 18.5, 18.5, 19, 19] inches, or desired length to underarm, ending last round 3[3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5] sts before end of round.

Break yarn, leaving an 18-inch tail. Place last 3[3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5] sts of this round and first 3[3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5] sts of next round on hold on waste yarn, and place remaning 32[34, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46] sts on hold on spare circular needle or double-point needles.

Make a second sleeve in the same way, but do not remove remaining 32[34, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46] sts from working needles.

Yoke
(When working the Joining Row which follows, remember to work neckline decreases if this is a decrease row for your size!)

Pick up lower body and resume working using ball of yarn attached to right front edge, working all sts onto circular needle as follows:

Joining Row [RS]: K to last 3 sts of right front, place marker, k3; k first 3 sts of one sleeve, place marker, k to last 3 sts of sleeve, place marker, k3; k first 3 sts of back, place marker, k to last 3 sts of back, place marker, k3; k first 3 sts of second sleeve, place marker, k to last 3 sts of second sleeve, place marker, k3; k first 3 sts of left front, place marker, k to end.

There will be 140[154, 166, 182, 198, 204, 220] sts on the needle: 14[16, 16, 19, 22, 21, 24] sts for each front, 26[28, 32, 34, 36, 38, 40] sts for each sleeve, and 36[42, 46, 52, 58, 62, 68] sts for the back, with 6 sts between each pair of markers. If you have 1 st more or less in each front, don't worry; however, be sure you have the right number of sleeve and back sts.

Work 5[5, 5, 1, 3, 5, 3] rows in stockinette st.

Raglan Decrease Row [RS]: [K to 3 sts before marker, k3tog tbl, yo, slip marker, work 6 sts of Cable Chart, slip marker, yo, k3tog] 4 times, k to end.
P 1 row.
Repeat these 2 rows 9[10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16] times more.

After all neckline and raglan decreases have been worked, 56[60, 66, 64, 68, 70, 74] sts remain. Excluding cable sts between markers, each front has 2 sts, each sleeve has 6[6, 8, 6, 6, 6, 6] sts, and the back has 16[20, 22, 24, 28, 30, 34] sts.

Next Row [RS]: K2tog tbl, remove marker, work 6 sts of Cable Chart, slip marker, yo, k3tog, [k to 3 sts before marker, k3tog tbl, yo, slip marker, work 6 sts of Cable Chart, slip marker, yo, k3tog] twice, k to 3 sts before marker, k3tog tbl, yo, slip marker, work 6 sts of Cable Chart, remove marker, k2tog. 48[52, 58, 56, 60, 62, 66] sts.

P 1 row.

Next Row [RS]: K2tog tbl, k5, remove marker, k2tog, k0[0, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0], k2tog tbl, work 6 sts of Cable Chart, slip marker, yo, k3tog, k to 3 sts before marker, k3tog tbl, yo, slip marker, work 6 sts of Cable Chart, k2tog, k0[0, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0], k2tog tbl, k5, k2tog. 40[44, 50, 48, 52, 54, 58] sts.

P 1 row.

When working next row, remove markers as you come to them.

Next Row [RS]: BO 3[3, 4, 3, 4, 4, 5] sts, k2tog, k to marker, k2tog, k4, yo, k3tog, k to 3 sts before marker, k3tog tbl, yo, k4, ssk, k to last 6[6, 7, 6, 7, 7, 8] sts, ssk, k to end. 31[35, 40, 39, 42, 44, 47] sts.

Next Row [WS]: BO 3[3, 4, 3, 4, 4, 5] sts, p to end. Leave remaining 26[32, 36, 36, 38, 40, 42] sts on hold on needle. Break yarn.

Collar and Button Band
Using longer circular needle, with RS facing and beginning at lower corner of right front edge, pick up and k 2 sts for every 3 rows along right front edge, placing a st marker at point indicated by safety pin (beginning of neckline shaping), pick up and k 1 st in each bound off st, k the 26[32, 36, 36, 38, 40, 42] held sts of back neck, pick up and k 1 st in each bound off st, and 2 sts for every 3 rows along left front edge.

Note: It's very important that you pick up the same number of stitches on both front edges, and that stitches are picked up as recommended, rather than that you obtain an exact number of sts. Markers will be used to keep track of your buttonhole placement and short row collar shaping. To obtain a rib that begins and ends with k2 at both front edges, make sure you pick up a total of sts that's divisible by 4 sts, plus 2. For example, for the L size, I picked up 87 sts on each front plus the 36 across the neck, for a total of 210 sts. If you don't obtain a workable number of sts, increase or decrease up to 2 sts when working the next row, as needed.

Work 1 row in 2x2 Rib.

Next Row [RS]: Work to marker, work 9 sts, place marker; count the number of sts you have worked so far in this row, and place a pin in your work at this point on the left front edge; work to this point, place marker, work to end. There are 3 markers in your work: 1 at the point where the neckline shaping began on the right front edge, and one 9 sts (or approx. 14 rows) above that point, on both the right and left front edges.

Work 5[5, 5, 7, 7, 7, 9] more rows in 2x2 Rib.

Buttonhole Row [RS]: Work to first marker, BO 5 sts, work to end.

Next Row [WS]: Work to bound-off sts, CO 5 sts using Backward Loop method, remove marker, work to end. 2 markers remain; these will be referred to as the right and left markers (right marker on right front, etc.).
