Gauge:
21 sts and 30 rows = 10 x 10 cm over St st with 3.5 mm needles.
Note:
The 4 rows of pintuck are not considered in the calculations.
23 sts and 35 rows = 10 x 10 cm over Rib Patt with 3 mm needles.

Work 8 rows in Lace Pattern 3, pintuck, 6 rows in St st, pintuck, 30 rows in St st, 28 (30) ((32)) rows in Lace Pattern 4, but for raglan slant, after 10th row of Lace Pattern (= approx. 36 cm of overall length), at each end bind off 3 (5) ((7)) sts once and dec 2 sts once and 1 st 7 (8) ((9)) times on every 2nd row = 81 (87) ((93)) sts.
In addition, knit 2 center sts tog on last WS row = 80 (86) ((92)) sts.
Switch to 3 mm needles and work in Rib Pattern: selv st, skpo, work Rib Patt until last 3 sts, K2tog, selv st = 78 (84) ((90)) sts.
Work the same decs on every 2nd row 16 (18) ((20)) times more.
After last dec of raglan, bind off rem 46 (48) ((50)) sts.

Left sleeve:
Using 3 mm needles, cast on 56 (60) ((64)) sts. Work 3 rows in gst, then work in Rib Patt beg with 1st RS row: selv st, * K2, P2, rep from *, end with K2 and selv st.
On Row 8 of Rib Patt, inc 0 (2) ((4)) sts = 56 (62) ((68)) sts.
After 8 rows of Rib Patt, switch to 3.5-4 mm needles. Beg with Lace Pattern 2 and, at the same time, for sleeve shaping, at each end inc 1 st 10 times on every 8th row (1 st 11 times on every 6th row) ((1 st 12 times on every 6th row)) = 76 (84) ((92)) sts.
Work 12 rows in Lace Pattern 2, pintuck, 2 rows in St st, 8 rows in Lace Pattern 3, pintuck, 6 rows in St st, pintuck, 30 rows in St st and inc 1 st on last row = 77 (85) ((93)) sts.
