Instructions

Back

Cast on 119 (131) 143 sts and make 8 cm with 1 x 1 rib for placket, increase 29 sts in the last WS row = 148 (160) 172 sts. In 31 cm = 68 rows from placket, continue work in the following way: make 69^th-72^nd rows x once = 131 (143) 155 sts, then, make the 73^rd-76^th rows x 8 (9) 10 times. Make decreases, except the 71^st row, in WS rows. Decrease 17 sts in the 69^th-72^nd rows, then, decrease 6 sts in every 2^nd row. In 47 cm = 104 rows (49 cm = 108 rows) 51 cm = 112 rows from placket, make 4 straight rows on the rest 35 sts, make 105^th-108^th rows (109^th-112^th rows) 113^th-115^th rows x once. In 49 cm = 108 rows (51 cm = 112 rows) 53 cm = 116 rows from placket, leave all the sts.

Front

Make in the same way, as back.

Assembly

For collar, cast on the previously left 35 sts of back, 10 new sts, 35 sts of front, 10 new sts and circle them in the ring and work on all the 90 sts with 1 x 1 rib in circle rows.

When the width of your collar is 8 cm, bind off all the sts due to the pattern. For arm-holes, cast on 104 sts from both sides of each arm-hole, including 10 new sts, 104 sts and make 3 circle rows as knit sts.

Bind off all the sts as knit sts. Make side seams.
