Instructions

Back

Cast on 78 (86) 94 sts in criss-cross way with olive yarn and knitting needles 4,5 and make 4 cm of rib for placket. Continue work with net pattern and knitting needles 5 due to the stripes order. In 48 cm = 118 rows from placket, bind off the central 26 sts and finish both sides separately. In 53 cm = 130 rows from placket, bind off the rest 26 (30) 34 sts for each shoulder.


Front

Make in the same way, as back, but for deeper neck-hole, bind off the central 26 sts loosely in 41 cm = 100 rows from placket.

Sleeves

Cast on 38 (42) 46 sts in criss-cross way with olive yarn and knitting needles 4,5 and make placket in the same way, as for back. Continue work with net pattern and knitting needles 5 due to the stripes order. At the same time, increase 10 x 1 st in every 8^th row (12 x 1 st in every 6^th and 8^th rows by turn) 14 x 1 st in every 6^th row due to the pattern and color of yarn = 58 (66) 74 sts. In 36 cm = 88 rows from placket, bind off the sts loosely.

Assembly

Make shoulder seams. For placket, cast on 112 sts along neck-hole and work with rib in circle rows (= 2 knit sts, 2 purls). At 2 cm width of placket, bind off all the sts due to the pattern. Sew up the sleeves, make side and sleeve seams.
