Back

Cast on 100 sts and make 4 cm of 1 x 1 rib. Then, work with brioche stitch for 44 cm straight. Then, bind off 8 sts from both sides for arm-holes. After that, knit 22 cm straight, transfer the sts to the auxiliary needle and leave them.

Then, knit straight for 12 cm, then, divide all the sts to 3 equal parts (24 sts for each part). Leave the central 10 sts on the auxiliary needle and knit each part separately, decrease 6 x 1 st in every RS row from inwards. Then, knit straight to 10 cm height of neck-hole. Bind off the rest sts of shoulder. Make the second half of neck-hole in symmetry.

Sleeves

Cast on 48 sts + 2 selvage sts and make 5 cm of 1 x 1 rib. Then, work with stockinette stitch, increase 1 st in every 3 sts in the 1^st row. For sleeve chamfers, increase 1 st from both sides in every 5^th row. At 39 cm height, bind off the sts.
