14-10-20-10-14
i have knitted increases rows every second row by adding 1 st just before marker and 1st st after marker, all in total 14 times so i have knitted 28 rows; then i have separated fronts, slevees (place them on the waste yarn) and back!
I have knitted 2 fronts and back together (begin in ROW5!) without increases for 32 rows and still I was following the cable pattern until the end. Last 3 rounds (so rows: 30, 31, 32) only purled and then BO.Then go back to devided sleeves, you just knit them with your prefered method without any decreases. Remember to begin in R5 of the cable pattern, I have done 38 rounds and all the time with the cable pattern through, last 3 rounds only purled (so rows: 36, 37, 38) and BO.
