Sleeves (2 mirrored pieces)
With US4 (3,5 mm) needles CO 34 (38, 42, 46, 50, 54) sts
using Italian ribbing cast-on method in such a way that
there are 2 knit sts in the beginning and in the end of the
row (including selvage sts) on the RS. Continue to work in
rib 2x2 for 12 rows total. Then work in lace pattern (see the
chart). Use the same US4 (3,5 mm) needles for the first row
then change to the main US6 (4,0 mm) needles. Work in
lace pattern for 2 rows total, finish with WS row. Then work
increase row for the beginning of sleeve shaping.
Increase row: increase sts with yarn over right after and
before the selvage st at both ends of the row. Include yarn
overs in the lace pattern right away when it is possible. Make
13 increases total in every 8th row, there are 60 (64, 68, 72,
76, 80) sts on needles. Work 7 more rows and finish with WS
row. There are 106 rows of the lace pattern total.

BO 6 (6, 7, 8, 9, 10) sts for underarm in the beginning of the
next RS row. Work to the end of the row and turn. BO 6 (6, 7,
8, 9, 10) sts in the beginning of the next WS row. Work to the
end and turn. * Work RS and WS rows. Only for S size: rep

following raglan decreases, you can make decreases
