Order of patterns for front/back: due to the scheme 1, replace the 1^st st in every row to chain sts increase, the quantity of which is stated on the scheme. Make 4 rows of pattern 1 = make 1^st-4^th rows x once, 23 rows of pattern 2 = make 5^th-7^th rows x once, then, 6^th-7^th rows x 10 times, finish with pattern 1 = make 8^th-10^th rows x once, then, repeat 9^th-10^th rows.

Pattern for sleeves: due to the scheme 2, replace every 1^st st of the row to chain sts increase, the quantity of which is stated on the scheme. Start with sts before pattern repeat, pattern repeat, finish due to the pattern. Repeat 1^st-3^rd rows x once, then, repeat 2^nd-3^rd rows.

Stitches control: pattern 1: 10 picots x 8 rows = 10 x 10 cm;
