Instructions

Cast on 45 (59) sts with knitting needles 5 and make 9 cm = 22 rows for the placket in the following way: 1 selvedge st, 9 (15) sts of rib, 6 sts of relief strip, 13 (15) sts of rib, 6 sts of relief strip, 9 (15) sts of rib, 1 selvedge st. Then, turn to knitting needles 5,5 and work in the following way: 1 selvedge st, 9 (15) sts of relief cable, for size S start near arrow A, 6 sts of relief strip, 13 (15) sts of of relief cable, 6 sts of relief strip, 9 (15) sts of relief cable, for size S finish near the arrow B, 1 selvedge st. At the same time, increase 4 x 1 st and 15 x 2 sts in the 2^nd row from both sides for sleeve chamfers = 113 (127) sts, include them in the pattern (in relief cable and in relief strip by turn). In 19 cm = 40 rows from the placket, increase 15 sts from both sides = 143 (157) sts, include these sts in the pattern. In 27,5 cm = 58 rows (30,5 cm = 64 rows) from the placket, divide your work in half for the neck-hole and in 72 (79) sts finish these details separately, leave the rest 71 (78) sts. Make back on the first 72 (79) sts. In 39 cm = 82 rows (45 cm = 94 rows) from the placket, you’ll reach the center of back.
