You’ll need:

Crochet hook 3,5.

Used Patterns

Main pattern: the quantity of sts is multiple 5 + 1 chain st increase. Work due to the scheme 1. Start every row with 1 or 3 chain sts increase instead of the 1^st single or double crochet. Start with sts before pattern repeat, pattern repeat, finish with sts after pattern repeat. Make 1^st-5^th rows x once, then, repeat 2^nd-5^th rows. Make single crochets of pattern in the 4^th row in chain sts above the arches of chain sts.

Pattern for sleeve: the quantity of sts is multiple 9 + 7 + 3 chain sts increase. Work due to the scheme 2. Start every row with chain st increase instead of the 1^st st, sts before pattern repeat and finish with sts after pattern repeat. Make 1^st-8^th rows x once, then, repeat 3^rd-8^th rows.

Plackets: the quantity of sts is multiple 14 + 1 + 3 chain sts increase. Make in the same way, as the main pattern, but due to the scheme 3. Make 1^st-5^th rows x once.

Stitches control: main pattern: 19,5 sts x 13,5 rows = 10 x 10 cm;

1 pattern repeat = 2,5 cm;

Pattern for sleeve: 25 sts x 6 rows = 10 x 10 cm;

Plackets: 26,5 sts x 5 rows = 10 x 6 cm.

Instructions

Back

Make 100 (110) chain sts + 1 chain st increase and work with the main pattern. In 2 cm from the set-up row, decrease 1 pattern repeat in the next 14 rows from both sides for better fitting. In 19 cm from the beginning of set-up row, increase 1 pattern repeat in the next 30 (38) rows. In 44 (42) cm from the set-up row, leave 1 pattern repeat without knitting for arm-holes from both sides and decrease 1 pattern repeat from both sides in the next 3 rows for smooth rounding. In 64 cm from the set-up row, leave 4 (5,5) cm for shoulder seams from both sides and 2 x 4 cm in every next row without knitting. At 67 cm height, bind off the central 11 cm without knitting for neck-hole and finish both sides separately.

Left Front

Make 80 (85) chain sts and work with the main pattern, make increases and decreases, arm-hole and shoulder chamfer from the right side in the same way, as for back. In 22 cm from the set-up row, leave 2 cm from the right side without knitting for chamfer. Finish your work at the height of back.

Right Front

Make in symmetry to the left front.

Sleeves

Make 79 (88) chain sts and work with pattern for sleeve. Decrease 1 pattern repeat in the next 6 rows. In 15 cm from the set-up row, increase 2 pattern repeats from both sides in the next 16 rows for sleeve chamfers. In 43 cm from the set-up row, start making decreases for sleeve caps. For this, leave 1 pattern repeat without knitting from both sides and decrease 1,5 pattern repeats in the next 8 rows. At 57 cm height, finish your work.

Assembly

Make all the seams, sew up the sleeves. Fasten all the edges with plackets, make 3 double crochets of the 1^st row in 1 base st. Make 2 straps of 6 threads 80 cm each and sew to the beginning of right front neck-hole and left side seam.
