Cast on 143 sts and knit due to the following description: 1 selvedge st, 12 sts of wrong-side pattern, 23 sts of relief pattern, 24 sts of wrong-side pattern, 23 sts of relief pattern, 24 sts of wrong-side pattern, 23 sts of relief pattern, 12 sts of wrong-side pattern, 1 selvedge st. For waist fitting, decrease sts - purl2tog in the beginning and end of purls part, except side parts. Make 10 times in every 15th row. In 50 cm (165 rows) from the beginning of work increase 1 st in evry 8th row before and after selvedge sts from both sides. In 71 cm (233 row) from the set-up row, bind off 2 sts x 1 and 1 st x 1 from both sides in every even row for making arm-holes.

For making the lowered shoulder, increase 1 st from both sides. Repeat the increase of 1 st in 4 rows. Repeat increases in every 6th row 1 st x 5 and in every 8th row 1 st x 1. In 16 cm (54 rows) from the arm-holes beginning, bind off 5 sts x 2 and 6 sts x 2 from both sides for shoulder chamfer. At the same time, bind off the central 28 sts for the neck-hole and 3 sts x 1 along the neck-hole line in a row.

Front

Make in the same way, as back. The only difference is deeper neck-hole. For this, divide your work in half in 3 cm (7 rows) from the arm-holes beginning and knit each part separately. For neck-hole, bind off 3 sts x 1 in all even rows from the central edge, 2 sts x 5, 1 st x 5 in every 4th row. In 16 cm from arm-hole beginning, bind off 5 sts x 2 and 6 sts x 2 for the shoulder chamfer from both sides. Then, bind off the rest sts.

Assembly

Make all seams. Fasten the neck-hole with 1 row of single crochets and 1 row of "shrimp stitch" with the help of the crochet hook.
