Make back, front and sleeves as one-piece cloth: cast on 63 sts and make 4 rows (1 cm) of double rib. Then, knit in the following way, decrease 1 x 3 sts in the 1st row: 8 sts of pattern with cable, 1 st of wrong-side pattern, 16 sts of stockinette stitch, 1 st of wrong-side pattern, 8 sts of pattern with cable, 1 st of wrong-side pattern, 16 sts of stockinette stitch, 1 st of wrong-side pattern, 8 sts of pattern with cable, 1 st of wrong-side pattern, 16 sts of stockinette stitch, 1 st of wrong-side pattern, 8 sts of pattern with cable. Increase 12 x 1 st in every 2nd row from both sides of each group of 16 sts of stockinette stitch (= 108 sts). In 29 cm from the beginning of rib, leave all the sts. Make arm-hole chamfers, sleeves and neck-hole in the following way: cast on 37 sts for each sleeve, make 4 rows (1 cm) of double rib and leave all the sts; cast on all the previously left sts for arm-hole chamfers and knit the first 25 sts, transfer the next 8 sts (right arm-hole) to the pin, cast on the central 25 sts of sleeve (transfer 6 edging sts to the pins), knit 42 sts of back, transfer the next 8 sts (left arm-hole) to the pin, cast on the central 25 sts of the second sleeve (transfer 6 edging sts to the pins) and finish the row. Then, work due to the ornament, make sleeves with stockinette stitch and decrease 1 x 1 st in the next row of each sleeve. For neck-hole, decrease 12 x 1 st in every 2nd row from both sides after the first 9 sts and before the last 9 sts; at the same time, decrease 11 x 1 st in every 2nd row from both sides for arm-hole chamfers. In 17 cm from the beginning of arm-hole chamfers and neck-hole, knit on all the sts of 6 rows (1,5 cm) with double rib and bind off the sts with kitchener’s stitch. Sew up the sleeves in the arm-holes.
