Instructions
Back
Make 38 chain sts and work with the pattern due to the scheme 1 with beige yarn, make 4 rows with beige yarn and 8 rows with grey yarn by turn. At 68 cm height, bind off 4 sts from both sides for arm-holes = 30 sts and crochet straight. At 88 cm height, after getting 8 sts for each shoulder and 14 sts for the neck-hole, finish your work.
Right Front
Make 18 chain sts with beige yarn and work due to the scheme 1 in the same order of colors, as in back. At 68 cm height, bind off 4 sts from the side seam for arm-hole = 14 sts and crochet straight. At 80 cm from the beginning of work, bind off 6 sts from the opposite side for the neck-hole = 8 sts for shoulder. At 88 cm height, finish your work.
Left Front
Make in symmetry to the right front.
Sleeves
Make 22 chain sts with grey yarn and work with the pattern due to the scheme 1, make 4 rows with grey yarn and 8 rows with beige yarn by turn. Increase 4 x 1 st in every 4th row from both sides = 30 sts. At 45 cm height, make sleeve caps due to the scheme 2 = 12 sts and cut the yarn. Total height is about 49 cm.
Assembly
Make shoulder, side and sleeve seams, leave the upper 5 cm open before the sleeve cap. Sew up the sleeves in the arm-holes, connect and sew the rest 5 cm of sleeves. Fasten front and neck-hole line with 1 row of grey single crochets and 2 rows with beige single crochets, then, make 1 more beige row and 1 grey row. Sew the buttons to the left front. Use holes in the pattern as button-holes.
