1 x 1 rib: only RS rows are stated on the scheme, make WS rows due to the pattern. Start 1 selvage st and sts before pattern repeat (only for the scheme 2), pattern repeat, finish with sts after pattern repeat and 1 selvage st.
Pattern with cables A: the quantity of sts is multiple 14 + 3 + 2 selvage sts. Work due to the scheme 1. Repeat 1st-4th rows.
Pattern with cables B: at first, the quantity of sts is multiple 28 + 17 + 2 selvage sts. Work due to the scheme 2. After all the increases in the 1st row, the quantity of sts is multiple 34 + 19 + 2 selvage sts. Repeat 1st-34th rows x once, then, repeat 3rd-24th rows.
Pattern with cables C: at first, the quantity of sts is multiple 14 + 3 + 2 selvage sts. Work due to the scheme 3. After increases in the 1st row, the quantity of sts is multiple 15 + 4 + 2 selvage sts. Repeat 1st-6th rows x once, then, repeat 3rd-6th rows.

Pattern with cables C: 21,5 sts x 24 rows = 10 x 10 cm.
Instructions
Back
Cast on 103 sts and make 9 cm = 24 rows of pattern A for the placket. Then, work with the pattern with cables B, making increases in the 1st row = 123 sts. In 34 cm = 82 rows from the placket, bind off 9 sts for arm-holes from both sides (knit3tog in the cables) = 105 sts. In 53,3 cm = 128 rows from the placket, bind off 8 sts from both sides for sleeve chamfers and 3 x 8 sts in every 2nd row. At the same time with the 1st shoulder decrease, bind off the central 21 sts (knit3tog in the cables) and finish both sides separately. For smooth rounding, bind off 1 x 7 sts and 1 x 3 sts ine very 2nd row from inwards. In 56 cm = 134 rows from the placket, all the sts should be bound off.
