Instructions

Back

Cast on 75 sts and make 14 cm of rib A between selvage sts, start and finish with 2 knit sts, then, work with the main pattern. In 47,5 cm from rib, bind off the central 19 sts for the neck-hole and finish both sides separately. For smooth rounding, bind off 1 x 3 sts in the next 2^nd row. In 50 cm from rib, bind off the rest 25 sts of shoulder from each side.

Front

Make in the same way, as back, but with deeper neck-hole. For this, in 45 cm from rib, bind off the central 11 sts and 1 x 3 sts, 1 x 2 sts and 2 x 1 st in every 2^nd row.

Sleeves

Cast on 41 sts and make rib A between selvage sts, start and finish with 3 knit sts. In 15 cm from the set-up row, work in the following way: 1 selvage st, the last 7 sts of pattern repeat, pattern repeat x once, finish with 8 sts of pattern repeat and 1 selvage st. In 8 cm from rib, increase 1 st for sleeve chamfers from both sides, 3 x 1 st in every 4^th row, 11 x 1 st in every 2^nd row = 71 sts, include the increased sts in the pattern. In 28,5 cm from rib, bind off all the sts.

Assembly

Make shoulder seams; cast on 64 sts with circular knitting needles along the neck-hole for the collar, make 1 circle row of purls and then work with rib B. At 19 cm height of collar, bind off the sts loosely. Sew up the sleeves, make side and sleeve seams.
