Used Patterns
Relief pattern (32 sts wide): work due to the scheme 1. Make 1st-9th rows x once, then, 2nd-9th rows x 10 (11) 12 times, finish with 2nd and 3rd rows. 1 double crochet + 1 chain st + 1 double crochet in 1 base st = V-double crochet.
Main pattern: the quantity of sts is multiple 3 + 2 + 3 chain sts increase. Work due to the scheme 2. Start with sts before pattern repeat, pattern repeat, finish with sts after pattern repeat. Make 1st-3rd rows x once, then, repeat 2nd and 3rd rows.
Stitches control: relief pattern: 32 sts x 9 rows = 10 x 10 cm;
Main pattern: 18 sts x 7,5 rows = 10 x 10 cm.
Instructions
Placket
Make 32 chain sts + 3 chain sts increase and work with relief pattern. In 101 cm = 91 rows (110 cm = 99 rows) 119 cm = 107 rows from the set-up row, finish your work. Fasten long left side of placket with 1 row of single crochets from WS, at first, make 44 (49) 53 single crochets on the first 22 (24) 26 rows, place marker, make 89 (98) 107 single crochets on the next 46 (50) 5 4 rows, place marker, make 44 (49) 53 single crochets on the last 23 (25) 27 rows, add 1 (0) 1 chain st for center and circle your work with 1 slip st = 178 (196) 214 sts. Cut is the middle of front.
Back
Work with the main pattern upon 89 (98) 107 single crochets = 29 (32) 35 V-double crochets + 2 double crochets. In 13,5 cm = 10 rows (17 cm = 13 rows) 20 cm = 15 rows from placket, decrease 9 sts from both side for arm-holes = 71 (80) 89 sts. In 36 cm = 27 rows (41 cm = 31 rows) 46,5 cm = 35 rows from placket, finish your work.
Front
Work on the rest 89 (98) 107 sts in the same way, as for back, but with neck-hole. For this, in 29,5 cm = 22 rows (34,5 cm = 26 rows) 40 cm = 30 rows from placket, leave the central 21 (24) 27 sts and finish both sides separately. For smooth rounding, decrease 3 x 3 sts in every row from inwards = 16 (19) 22 sts.
Sleeves
Make shoulder seams; make 80 (86) 95 single crochets along every arm-hole. Then, work with the main pattern = 26 (28) 31 V-double crochets + 2 selvage sts. In 6 cm = 5 rows from the beginning of sleeve, decrease 3 sts from both sides for sleeve chamfers, then, decrease 3 x 1 st in every row and 12 x 1 st in every 2nd row = 44 (50) 59 sts. In 42 cm = 32 rows from the beginning of sleeves, divide your work in half for cut and finish both sides separately. In 55 cm = 42 rows from the beginning of sleeve, finish your work.
Collar
Make 26 chain sts + 3 chain sts increase for the right part of collar and work with relief pattern to arrow A. In 55,5 cm = 50 rows from the set-up row, finish your work. For left part of collar, make 20 chain sts + 3 chain sts increase and work with the main pattern. In 24 cm = 18 rows (26,5 cm = 20 rows) 29 cm = 22 rows from the set-up row, finish your work.
Assembly
Make side and sleeve seams. Sew left part of collar with left long side from WS to the neck-hole from WS in order to the center of long side matches with left shoulder seam. Sew right part of collar with right long side to the neck-hole in the same way. Turn the collar. Sew buttons.
I'm new to using this type of pattern so I can't figure out what I am doing in row line 4&5.
