Cast on 143 sts and work due to the following description: 1 selvedge sts, 12 sts of wrong side, 23 sts of relief pattern, 24 sts of wrong side, 23 sts of relief pattern, 12 sts of wrong side, 1 selvedge st. For waist fitting, make decreases – purl2tog in the beginning and end of every part of purls, except side parts. Make these actions 10 times in every 15^th row. In 50 cm (165 rows) from the beginning of work, increase 1 st before and after selvedge sts in every 8^th row from both sides. In 71 cm (233 rows) from the set-up edge, bind off 2 sts x 1 and 1 st x 1 in every even row from both sides for making arm-holes.

For forming loosed shoulder, increase 1 st from both sides. Repeat the increase of 1 st x 4. Repeat the increases in every 6^th row – 1 st x 5, in every 8^th row – 1 st x 1. In 16 cm (54 rows) from the beginning of arm-holes, bind off 5 sts x 2, 6 sts x 2 from both sides for shoulder chamfers. Then, bind off the rest 16 sts. At the same time, bind off the central 28 sts for the neck-hole and bind off 3 sts x 1 along the edge of neck-hole in a row.

For neck-hole, bind off 3 sts x 1 and 2 sts x 5 in every even row from the central edge, 1 st x 5 in every 4^th row. In 16 cm from the beginning of arm-holes, bind off 5 sts x 2 and 6 sts x 2 from both sides for shoulder chamfer. Then, bind off the rest sts.
