Instructions

Make 221 (261) chain sts + 3 chain sts increase, make 3 rows = 2 cm of pattern for plackets 1 and then work with lace pattern. For arm-holes, divide your work in 47 (44) cm from the placket, at first, make back on the central 56 (57) cm. In 67 cm from the placket, leave 18 (23,5) cm for shoulders from both sides. In 71 cm from placket, finish your work on the rest sts (neck-hole placket).

Make left front on the first 28 (33,5) cm and in 67 cm from the placket, leave 18 (23,5) cm from the right side for shoulder. Finish your work at the height of back on the rest sts (= neck-hole placket).

Make right front on the last 28 (33,5) sts in symmetry.

Sleeves

Make 60 (80) chain sts + 3 chain sts increase, make 3 rows = 2 cm of pattern for plackets 2, increase 1 st in the last row = 61 (81) st and then work with lace pattern. In 44 cm from the placket, leave 1 cm from both sides for sleeve caps and bind off 11 x 1 cm in every row. Make decreases due to the pattern design in natural size. Finish your work in 61 cm from placket.

Assembly
