Jacket
Back
Make 22 chain sts for one shoulder and make 1 pattern repeat of the main pattern in height. Leave the sts. Make the second shoulder in the same way. Then, make 22 sts of the first shoulder, make 33 chain sts for neck-hole and make 22 chain sts for the shoulder = 77 sts. Continue work with the main pattern as one-piece cloth. At 18 cm height, make 18 chain sts form both sides for arm-holes = 99 sts. Crochet 34 cm with the main pattern and finish your work.
Left Front
Make 22 chain sts increase and make 2 pattern repeat of the main pattern straight. Then, make increases for neck-hole from the left side due to the pattern design. At 10 cm height, there should be 38 sts in work. Continue crocheting straight. At 18 cm height from the beginning of work, make 11 chain sts from the right side for arm-hole = 49 sts. Crochet 34 cm straight and finish your work.
Right Front
Make in symmetry to the left front.
Sleeves
Make 22 chain sts and work with the main pattern, make increases due to the pattern design for sleeve caps from both sides. At 13 cm height, there should be 55 sts in work. After that, make 11 chain sts from each side and continue work with the main pattern, make decrease due to the pattern design for sleeve chamfers from both sides. At 32 cm height from arm-hole, there should be 55 sts in work. Finish your work.
Assembly
Make shoulder seams, sew up the sleeves, make side and sleeve seams. Fasten the edges of front with 5 rows of double crochets. Make 6 button-loops in the 3rd row of the right front in the following way: 18 double crochets, 3 chain sts, skip 3 sts, * 15 double crochets, 3 chain sts, skip 3 sts*; repeat from * to * x 4 times, 4 double crochets.
For collar, make 100 double crochets along the edge of neck-hole and first two rows of plackets (30 sts on each half of front, 40 sts on back). Work with double crochets for 3 rows, double every 7th crochet in every row. Then, make 5 rows without increases. Finish your work. Fasten lower edges of jacket and sleeves with 1 row of single crochets. Sew buttons.

Then, work with the main pattern, make 6 double crochets instead of 7 double crochets in every row in 1 pattern repeat, as it’s shown on the scheme. Make 4 pattern repeats in height this way. Then, make 7 double crochets in pattern repeat, as it’s stated on the scheme. Make 7 pattern repeats in height this way. After that, make 9 pattern repeats in height, making 8 double crochets in every pattern repeat. Finish your work.
