Instructions
Make 120 chain sts + 3 chain sts increase and work with double crochets for the central stripe. Start every row with 3 chain sts increase of the 1st double crochet. In 11 cm = 12 rows from the set-up row, make upper part with relief pattern. In 8,5 cm = 8 rows from the stripe, divide your work into 3 parts: back – the central 5 pattern repeats, left front – the last 2 pattern repeats and sts after pattern repeat, right front – sts before pattern repeat and the first 2 pattern repeats. At first, make right front. Make decreases due to the pattern design from the right sides for neck-hole chamfer. In 26,5 cm = 25 rows from the stripe, finish your work. Make left front in symmetry to the right. Then, make back on 5 pattern repeats, finish at the same height as front. For lower part, work with relief pattern along the opposite side. In 21 cm = 20 rows from the stripe, finish your work. Make shoulder seams. Work with straight and reversed rows along front and neck-hole, make 186 half crochets in the 1st row. In 5 cm = 6 rows from the beginning of placket, finish your work.
Work with circle rows of pattern for plackets, make 55 half crochets in the 1st row. Make 2 rows of double crochets after the 1st row, then, make 5th and 6th rows. In 4 cm = 5 rows from the beginning of placket, finish your work.
