Instructions

Back

Make 77 (85) sts and work with the main pattern. In 31 cm = 50 rows from the set-up row, bind off 5 sts from both sides for arm-holes, then, 3 x 1 st in every 2^nd row = 61 (69) sts. In 17 cm = 26 rows from the beginning of arm-holes, bind off the central 23 sts for the neck-hole and finish both sides separately. For smooth rounding, bind off 2 x 3 sts in every 2^nd row from inwards. In 3 cm = 6 sts from the beginning of neck-hole, bind off the rest 13 (17) sts of shoulder.

Front

Make in the same way, as back, but with deeper neck-hole. For this, in 11 cm = 16 rows from the beginning of arm-holes, bind off the central 15 sts and finish both sides separately. Bind off 1 x 4 sts and 6 x 1 st in every 2^nd row from inwards for smooth rounding. Bind off the sts of shoulders at the same height, as back.

Sleeves

Make 41 sts and work with the main pattern. For chamfers, increase 1 st in every 8^th row from both sides and 7 x 1 st in every 8^th row = 57 sts, include the increased sts in the main pattern. In 46 cm = 74 rows from the set-up row, bind off 5 sts from both sides for sleeve caps, 8 x 1 st and 2 x 4 sts in every 2^nd row. Bind off the rest 15 sts in the next row.

Assembly

Make all the seams. Fasten neck-hole with 1 row of single crochets. Make festoon fastening along the edges of sleeves and bottom part of work. Sew the sleeves.
