Instructions

Back

Cast on 69 (73) sts and make 4,5 cm of 1 x 1 rib between selvage sts for lower placket, start with 1 WS row. Make all the sts as purls in the last WS row, increase 6 (8) sts = 75 (81) sts. Then, continue work in the following way: 1 selvage st, 3 (6) sts of wrong-side pattern, 67 sts of relief pattern, 3 (6) sts of wrong-side pattern, 1 selvage st. In 48,5 cm = 102 rows (46,5 cm = 98 rows) from placket, bind off 1 x 4 sts from both sides for arm-holes = 67 (73) sts. In 66,5 cm = 140 rows from placket, bind off all the sts, central 31 (33) sts form neck-hole, outer 18 (20) sts from both sides – shoulders.

Front

Make in the same way, as back, but for deeper neck-hole, bind off the central 21 (23) sts in 59 cm = 124 rows from placket and finish both sides separately. For smooth rounding, bind off 1 x 3 sts and 2 x 1 st in every 2^nd row. Bind off the rest 18 (20) sts of each shoulder at the height of back.

Sleeves

Cast on 35 (39) sts for each sleeve and make 4,5 cm of 1 x 1 rib between selvage sts for lower placket, start with 1 WS row. Make all the sts as purls in the last WS row, increase 12 sts = 47 (51) sts. Then, continue work in the following way: 1 selvage st, 0 (2) sts of wrong-side pattern, 45 sts of relief pattern, 0 (2) sts of wrong-side pattern, 1 selvage st. At the same time, for sleeve chamfers, increase 4 x 1 st in every 16^th row from both sides of placket (3 x 1 st in every 14^th row and 2 x 1 st in every 12^th row) of wrong-side pattern = 55 (61) sts. In 40 cm = 84 rows from placket, bind off all the sts.

Assembly

Make shoulder seams. Cast on 68 (72) sts along neck-hole with circular knitting needles for placket and work with 1 x 1 rib with circle rows. In 4 cm, bind off all the sts due to the pattern. Sew up the sleeves, make side and sleeve seams.
