The Pattern

For the back, i started the rib with 40 stitches. All ribbing is done in the red yarn and top in orange. this was for 8 rows with 0mm needles. thereafter, i knitted 46 rows of orange knits. thereafter, i cast off 4 stitches on the next two rows. after this, i decreased by one knit on either side on every 4th row until i had 16 stitches left on my needle. this was the back completed for now.
for the front, i did the same rib as the back as well as the same knitting until the start of the neckline. hereafter, i decreased either side of the front on the left and right, knitted 15 stitches and cast off 10 stitches in the centre to form the begginning of the neck line. thereafter, i decrease every 4th row. for the neck and sleeve ribbing, i used a 7mm needle.
for the sleeves, the ribbing was 19 stitches and 10 rows. the last row increased by 2 stitches on either end. keeping the ball attached still, i started with the sleeve using the orange yarn. for the sleeve, i changed the needle to 10mm. i knitted the sleeve for 5 rows and increased  on the 5th row with one stitch on either side. for the next 12 rows, i increased on every 4th row on either end by one stitch until i had 29 stitches on my needle. hereafter, continue until 60 rows are completed. now cast off 4 stitches on either side and knit 2 rows. thereafter, decrease on either side. then decrease on every 4th row until 5 stitches are left.
the panel on the sleeve is done with seperate balls for each part. i started with 8 orange stitches, then 5 colour and then 8 orange again. i twisted the colour for every knit done.
for the neck, one armhole was kept open which made it easier to knit straight. for this, i used 7mm needles and picked up each stitch on the neckline that wasnt still on a needle. the back stitches werent cast off and the sleeves so i was able to just pick up those stitches onto my needle and knit on. this rib is 6 rows.
