Used Patterns

Rib: straight and reversed rows: the quantity of sts is multiple 8 + 2 selvage sts. RS rows: 1 selvage st, * 2 purls, 4 knit sts, 2 purls*; repeat from * to *, 1 selvage st;

WS rows: as sts face.

Circle rows: the quantity of sts is multiple 8. * 2 purls, 4 knit sts, 2 purls*; repeat from * to *.

Main pattern: the quantity of sts is multiple 8 + 2 selvage sts. Work due to the scheme, on which RS and partially WS rows are stated. Make unstated WS rows as sts face. Repeat the pattern between selvage sts. Make 1^st-14^th rows x once, then, repeat 3^rd-14^th rows.

Stitches control: 19 sts x 22 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

Instructions

Back

Cast on 90 (98) 106 sts and make 2,5 cm of rib. Then, work with the main pattern. In 27 cm = 60 rows from rib, cast on extra 12 sts from both sides for sleeves = 114 (122) 130 sts, include the increased sts in the pattern. In 43 cm = 96 rows (45 cm = 100 rows) 47 cm = 104 rows from rib, bind off the central 28 sts for neck-hole and finish both sides separately. For smooth rounding, bind off 1 x 2 sts and 1 x 1 st in every 2^nd row from inwards. In 47 cm = 104 rows (49 cm = 108 rows) 51 cm = 112 rows from rib, bind off the rest 40 (44) 48 sts of shoulder/sleeve from each side.

Front

Make in the same way, as back, but for deeper neck-hole, bind off the central 24 sts in 41 cm = 92 rows (43 cm = 96 rows) 45 cm = 100 rows form rib, then, bind off 1 x 2 sts and 3 x 1 st in every 2^nd row form inwards.

Assembly

Make shoulder and upper sleeve seams. Cast on 96 sts along neck-hole with circular knitting needles and make placket with rib in circle rows. At 2 cm height of placket, bind off sts as they face. Cast on 38 (46) 54 sts along the edges of sleeves and make plackets with rib, start with 1 selvage st, * 4 purls, 4 knit sts*; repeat from * to *, 4 purls, 1 selvage st. At 2 cm height of placket, bind off sts as they face. Make lower sleeves seams, including short sides of plackets and also side seams.
