This long sleeved, drop shoulder crewneck uses travelling stitches to mimic the ripples of water on a lake. The design works equally well for a man or a woman, and gives the visual interest of cables without the weight. Sleeves are in a simpler but coordinating pattern of raised lines to keep the focus on the body and to speed the knitting!

Pattern Notes
Four pieces are worked flat then seamed together.
The stitch pattern for the sleeves is the same for all sizes. The stitch pattern for the body begins and ends differently, depending on which size you are making. Be sure to refer to the chart and/or written directions for the size you are making.
Pattern
Back
With smaller needles, CO 96 (104, 112, 120, 128, 136, 144, 152) sts.
Work 16 rows in K1, P1 Rib.
Change to larger needles and begin Body Pattern according to the written directions or chart for your size.
Work until piece meas 14.5 (15, 15.5, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16)” from CO edge, mark both ends for sleeves (using removeable markers or scraps of yarn).
Cont in patt until piece meas 23.5 (24.5, 26, 27, 28, 28.5, 29.5, 30) from CO edge.
BO all sts.
Front
Work as for Back until piece meas 20.5 (21.5, 23, 23.5, 24.5, 25, 26, 26)”.
Shape Neck
Work 40 (44, 47, 50, 54, 57, 61, 65) sts, place center 16 (16, 18, 20, 20, 22, 22, 22) sts on holder. Attach another ball of yarn. (40 (44, 47, 50, 54, 57, 61, 65) sts each side)
Working both sides at once and continuing in pattern, dec 1 st at each neck edge every other row 8 (8, 9, 9, 10, 10, 10, 10) times. (32 (36, 38, 41, 44, 47, 51, 55) sts)
Work even until Front is same length as back.
BO 32 (36, 38, 41, 44, 47, 51, 55) sts across each shoulder.
Sleeves (make 2)
Note: You will not have a complete final pattern repeat. As you increase sts, work increases into pattern as you go.
With smaller needles, CO 42 (46, 48, 54, 60, 62, 68, 68) sts.
Work K1, P1 Rib for 16 rows.
Change to larger needles.
Begin Sleeve Pattern, inc 1 st each side of every 2 rows 0 (0, 3, 0, 2, 8, 12, 18) times, every 3 rows 14 (18, 26, 28, 28, 24, 22,18) times, then every 4 rows 10 (7, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0) times. (90 (96, 106, 110, 120, 126, 136, 140) sts)
Cont in patt until piece meas 17 (17, 17.5, 17.5, 18, 18, 18.5, 18.5)” from CO edge.
BO 90 (96, 106, 110, 120, 126, 136, 140) sts.
Finishing
Collar
Seam one shoulder.
With smaller needles pick up 82 (82, 92, 100, 102, 106, 106, 114) sts around neck edge, including sts on front holder.
Work 1” in K1, P1 Rib.
BO all sts loosely.
Seam other shoulder and collar edge.
Sew in Sleeves. Seam Sleeves. Seam sides.
