Instructions
Make back and front to arm-holes with circle rows: cast on 168 (184) sts in criss-cross way in 2 threads of blue yarn with knitting needles 4. Circle your work in the ring and make the beginning of circle row = left side line. Work with stockinette stitch due to the stripes order. Divide your work in the last 98th circle row: bind off 2 sts, make 80 (88) sts = front, bind off 4 sts, make 80 (88) sts = back, bind off 2 sts. Leave sts of front. Then, work on sts of back.
Back
Work with plaited pattern with purple yarn, increase 34 sts in the 1st row = 114 (122) sts. Decrease 1 st in the 3rd row of plaited pattern from both sides for arm-holes: 1 selvage st, knit2tog, 2 knit sts, 104 (112) sts of plaited pattern = 13 (14) pattern repeats, 2 knit sts, 1 broaching, 1 selvage st. Repeat these decreases in every 2nd row of 3 x 1 st = 106 (114) sts. In 21 (22) cm from the beginning of arm-holes, bind off all sts in the 6th or 12th row of plaited pattern.
Front
Make in the same way, as back. In 15 cm = 49 rows of plaited pattern = after the 9th crossing, bind off the central 24 sts in the 50th row for neck-hole and knit separately, bind off 4 x 2 sts and 1 x 1 st in every 2nd row. In 21 (22) cm from the beginning of arm-holes, bind off the rest 32 (36) sts of each shoulder in the 6th or 12th row of plaited pattern.
Sleeves
Cast on 40 sts in 2 threads of blue yarn in criss-cross way with knitting needles 4 and work with stockinette stitch due to the stripes order for 98 rows. For chamfers, increase 6 x 1 st in every 14th row (8 x 1 st in every 12th row) = 52 (56) st. Then, work with plaited pattern with purple yarn and knitting needles 4,5, increase 22 (26) sts in the 1st row = 74 (82) sts. For further sleeve chamfers, increase 4 x 1 st in every 2nd and 4th rows = 82 (90) sts. In 4 cm from the beginning of plaited pattern, bind off 1 x 4 sts from both sides for sleeve cap, then, decrease 19 x 1 st, 2 x 2 sts, 1 x 4 sts in every 2nd row (1 x 2 sts, 19 x 1 st, 2 x 2 sts, 1 x 4 sts in every 2nd row). In 14 (15) cm from the beginning of cap, bind off the rest 20 (24) sts.
