Used Patterns
Relief pattern: the quantity of sts is multiple 3 + 2 selvage sts. Work due to the scheme, on which only RS rows are stated, make WS row sts and yarn overs as purls, 1st double yarn over – 1 purl, 2nd double yarn over – knit st. Start with 1 selvage st and sts before pattern repeat, then, pattern repeat, finish with sts after pattern repeat and 1 selvage st. Repeat 1st-8th rows.
Stockinette stitch: in RS row – knit sts, in WS row – purls, circle rows – knit sts.
Special decreases from the right side: 1 selvage st, 1 knit st, broaching; from the left side: knit2tog, 1 knit st, 1 selvage st.
Stitches control: relief pattern: 14 sts x 20 rows = 10 x 10 cm;
Stockinette stitch: 14,5 sts x 19 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

Back
Cast on 71 (77) 86 sts and make 1 WS row of knit sts. Then, make 18 cm = 36 rows of relief pattern for border. Then, work with stockinette stitch and at the same time, bind off 4 x 1 st from both sides and 1 x 1 st in every 6th row and in the next 4th row with special decreases = 61 (67) 76 sts.

In 45,5 cm = 86 rows (47,5 cm = 90 rows) 49,5 cm = 94 rows from border, bind off the central 11 (11) 12 sts for neck-hole and finish both sides separately. For smooth rounding, bind off 1 x 3 sts and 1 x 2 sts in every 2nd row from inwards for neck-hole. In 48,5 cm = 92 rows (50,5 cm = 96 rows) 52,5 cm = 100 rows from border, bind off the rest 13 (16) 20 sts of shoulder.

For short sides, bind off 2 x st in every 4th row, make special decreases = 46 (52) 58 sts. In 24 cm = 46 rows (24 cm = 46 rows) 22 cm = 42 rows from border, bind off 3 sts from both sides for sleeve caps, then, bind off 10 x 1 st and 2 x 2 sts in every 2nd row.
