Main pattern: start due to the scheme before pattern repeat, pattern repeat, finish with sts after pattern repeat. Make 3^rd-6^th rows x once, then, repeat 5^th and 6^th rows. Start every row with the stated quantity of chain sts instead of the 1^st st;

Pattern for plackets 2: make in the same way, as the main pattern, repeat 7^th and 8^th rows.

Stitches control: main pattern and pattern for plackets 2: 18 sts x 9 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

Instructions

Front

Make 101 (109) chain sts + 3 chain sts increase and work with the pattern for plackets 1, then, continue work with the main pattern. At 60 cm height = 52 rows of the main pattern, make the placket for neck-hole on the central 43 sts with the pattern for plackets 2. In 2 rows, leave the central 33 sts open and finish both sides separately, continue crocheting the inner 5 sts with the pattern for plackets 2. Finish at 75 cm height.

Back

Make in the same way, as front, but without neck-hole. Instead, make the pattern for placket 2 on all the sts at 73 cm height.

Assembly

Make shoulder seams; make 2 cords 150 cm long. Make side seams in the following way: fold the cord in half, step 26 cm back from the shoulder seam, insert them into front and back at the distance of 25 cm, leave the rest 24 cm open for cuts.
