Instructions

Back

Cast on 75 sts and make 10 rows of garter stitch. Then, continue work in the following way: 1 selvage st, sts of relief pattern before pattern repeat, 8 pattern repeats due to the scheme, the last sts due to the scheme after pattern repeat, 1 selvage st. At 50 cm height from the beginning of work, bind off 8 sts from both sides for arm-holes and knit straight for 20 cm. Then, bind off the central 9 sts for neck-hole and finish each side separately. For smooth rounding, bind off 1 x 5 sts, 1 x 3 sts from inwards in every 2nd row. Make 2 more rows on the rest 17 sts of shoulder and bind off sts. Make the second side in symmetry.

Front

Make in the same way, as back, but with deeper neck-hole. For this, bind off the central 7 sts in 13 cm from arm-hole and finish both sides separately. For smooth rounding, bind off 1 x 3 sts, 1 x 2 sts, 4 x 1 st from inwards in every 2nd row, finish the rest 17 sts of shoulder at the height of back. Make the second side in symmetry.

Sleeves

Make shoulder seams. Cast on 75 sts along arm-holes and work with relief pattern. For chamfers, decrease 1 st from both sides in every 8th and 16th rows. Knit straight for 52 cm. Then, decrease 7 sts = 36 sts. After that work with rib for 3 cm, bind off sts.

Assembly

Cast on 100 sts along RS of neck-hole and make 2 rows of rib. Make 1 row of purls, decrease 10 sts. After that continue work with rib for 1,5 cm, increase 10 sts in the next row = 100 sts. Bind off sts. Fold placket along line and sew from WS. Make side and sleeve seams.
