Instructions
Back
Make 99 (111) 123 (135) chain sts, make 1 single crochet in the 2nd chain st from the crochet hook, then, make 1 single crochet in every chain st to the end of row = 98 (110) 122 (134) single crochets. Start with the 1st row due to the scheme I: 3 chain sts (1st double crochet), 1 double crochet, 4 chain sts, skip 4 sts, 2 double crochets, * 4 chain sts, skip 4 sts, 2 double crochets*; repeat from * to *, make pattern 16 (18) 20 (22) times. After that, make the 2nd row due to the shceme, then, repeat 3rd row, 2nd row, 3rd row. When the length of work is about 56 (56) 59 (59) cm = 35 (35) 37 (37) pattern repeats in height, make decreases for arm-holes, leave 2 pattern repeats open from both sides (see the scheme II). Continue work on the rest sts of 12 (14) 16 (18) pattern repeats. When the height of arm-hole is about 17 (18,5) 18,5 (20) cm and there are 10 (11) 11 (12) pattern repeats made in height, bind off the central 6 pattern repeats for neck-hole (see the scheme III). Make 3 more rows at shoulder and cut the yarn. Make the second side in the same way. Make 3 rows of single crochets on sts of back neck-hole. Make 1 decrease in every row in corners by means of making 2 single crochets together.
Left Front
Make 54 (60) 66 (72) chain sts, make 1 single crochet in the 2nd chain st from the crochet hook, then, make 1 single crochet in every chain st in the end of row = 53 (59) 65 (71) single crochets. Start with the 1st row due to the scheme I: 3 chain sts (= 1st double crochet), 1 double crochet, 4 chain sts, skip 4 sts, 2 double crochets, * 4 chain sts, skip 4 sts, 2 double crochets* repeat from * to * x 6 (7) 8 (9) times, 3 double crochets = totally, 8 (9) 10 (11) pattern repeats and 5 double crochets for placket fastener from the left side. Then, make the 2nd row due to the scheme, then, repeat 3rd row, 2nd row, 3rd row. When the length of work is about 46 (46) 49 (49) cm = totally, 30 (30) 32 (32) pattern repeats in height, start making decrease for neck-hole from the left side. Work due to the scheme IV. Decrease 1 pattern repeat in every 12 rows = totally, decrease 3 pattern repeats. When the length of work is about 56 (56) 59 (59) cm and there are 35 (35) 37 (37) pattern repeats made in height, make decreases for arm-holes, leave 2 pattern repeats open from the right side (see the scheme II). Work until the height of arm-hole is the same, as back arm-hole (the last row = 3rd row). Don’tcuttheyarn. Makeshoulderseams. Connect these 2 details, making single crochets in double crochets of details, making 4 chain sts between double crochets. Place markers in the places for buttons. Sew buttons.
Right Front
Make in reflection to left front. Make button-holes opposite buttons. Make shoulder seams.
Sleeves
Work from RS of work along vertical sides of arm-holes: 74 (80) 80 (86) single crochets (2 single crochets around every double crochet, 1 single crochet in every single crochet + 2 single crochets). Then, make the 1st row due to the scheme I = totally, 12 (13) 13 (14) pattern repeats. Make the 3rd row, then, repeat 2nd, 3rd rows. Start working around in 3 pattern repeats. When the length of sleeve is about 15 cm, decrease 6 x 1 st in every 4th circle row (see the scheme V) = totally, 10 (11) 11 (12) pattern repeats after decreases. Continue work on sts of the rest pattern repeats until the length of sleeve is 44 (45) 46 (47) cm. Make 1 circle row of single crochets for fastening. Make the second sleeve in the same way.
