Used Pattern

Garter stitch: in RS and WS rows – knit sts, in circle rows – 1 circle row of knit sts, 1 circle row of purls by turn;

Relief pattern: the quantity of sts is multiple 15 + 6 + 2 selvage sts. Work due to the scheme, on which only RS rows are stated, make WS rows and yarn overs as purls. Start with 1 selvage st, pattern repeat, finish with sts after pattern repeat and 1 selvage st. Make 1^st-10^th rows x once, then, repeat 3^rd-10^th rows.

Stitches control: 17 sts x 22,5 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

Instructions

Back

Cast on 83 (98) sts with knitting needles 4,5 and make 2 cm = 5 rows of garter stitch for placket, start with 1 WS row. Then, turn to knitting needles 5 and work with relief pattern. In 36,5 cm = 82 rows from placket, bind off 3 sts from both sides for arm-holes and 3 x 2 sts and 1 x 1 st in every 2^nd row = 63 (78) sts. In 55 cm = 124 rows (58,5 cm = 132 rows) from the placket, bind off the central 27 (34) sts for the neck-hole and finish both sides separately. For smooth rounding, bind off 1 x 2 sts and 1 x 1 st in every 2^nd row from inwards. In 58 cm = 130 rows (61,5 cm = 138 rows) from placket, bind off the rest 15 (19) sts of shoulder from each side.

Front

Make in the same way, as back, but with deeper neck-hole. For this, in 47 cm = 106 rows (50,5 cm = 114 rows) from placket, bind off the central 13 (20) sts and 1 x 3 sts, 3 x 2 sts and 1 x 1 st in every 2^nd row.

Sleeves

Cast on 41 (56) sts with knitting needles 4,5 and make placket in the same way, as for back. Then, change to knitting needles 5 and work with relief pattern in the following way: start with 1 selvage st and sts before pattern repeat, make 2 (3) pattern repeats, 1 selvage st. At the same time, increase 10 x 1 st in every 8^th row from both sides = 61 (76) sts, include the increased sts in the pattern. In 40 cm = 90 rows from placket, bind off 3 (5) sts from both sides for sleeve caps and 11 x 2 sts in every 2^nd row. In 50,5 cm = 114 rows from placket, bind off the rest 11 (22) sts.

Assembly

Make shoulder seams. Cast on 82 (96) sts along the neck-hole with circular knitting needles and make placket with garter stitch. At 2 cm height of the placket, bind off all the sts as knit sts. Sew up the sleeves, make side and sleeve seams.
