The hem and cuffs are cast on with twice the stitches of the body and sleeves and knitted in knit 3, purl 3 rib that closes up in steps — knit 3, purl 2, then knit 3, purl 1, 18 rounds at a time — before the stocking stitch begins; the tall turtle neck widens the other way, from knit 2, purl 2 to knit 3, purl 3. One set of instructions gives two lengths: a short sweater, 59 to 65 cm to the shoulder, printed in black, and a long one, 84 to 90 cm, in lagoon. Sizes 36 to 42.

Each sleeve is cast on with 90 (90, 96, 102) stitches on the circular needle and knitted in knit 3, purl 3 rib for 18 rounds; then the last stitch of each knit column is knitted together with the first purl stitch beside it, and knit 3, purl 2 goes on for 18 rounds; the same again gives knit 3, purl 1 for 18 rounds, and one more round closes the purl columns, leaving 45 (45, 48, 51) stitches. In stocking stitch the sleeve is increased “1 st every 5 rnds, at the beginning and the end of rnd” to 56 (57, 60, 64) stitches and 45 (46, 46, 47) cm, and 10 (10, 12, 12) stitches are bound off at the underarm. The body is cast on with 354 (360, 366, 372) stitches and given the same rib, leaving 177 (180, 183, 186), then knitted in stocking stitch to 30 (31, 32, 33) cm for the short sweater or 55 (56, 57, 58) cm for the long one, and 10 (10, 12, 12) stitches are bound off at each side. Body and sleeves are joined, 249 (254, 255, 266) stitches, and after 20 (22, 24, 26) plain rounds 12 stitches are decreased every 4th round — knit 2 together after 12 evenly spaced markers — to 84 (84, 88, 92). The turtle neck is knit 2, purl 2 for 18 rounds, knit 2, purl 3 for 8 rounds and knit 3, purl 3 for 18 rounds — a stitch is added to each purl column, then to each knit column — and cast off; it is 18 cm high.
