Used Patterns

Main pattern: the quantity of sts is multiple 6 + 1. Work due to the scheme. Start with sts before pattern repeat, pattern repeat, finish with sts after pattern repeat. Make 1^st-12^th rows x once, then, repeat 5^th-12^th rows.

Note: pattern repeat changes in the 4^th and 12^th rows.

Stripes order, main pattern: * 2 white rows, 2 yellow rows, 2 white rows, 2 blue rows, *** white, orange,** **white, blue. Repeat from *.

Stitches control: 22 sts x 10,5 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

Note: make front and back across.

Instructions

Back

Make 37 (43) 49 chain sts + 3 chain sts increase with white yarn for placket and make stripes order, for size M, start stripes order from ** and for size L – from ***. In 4 cm = 4 rows from the set-up row, make 102 chain sts for side seam from the left side and make all the sts with main pattern = 151 sts. At the same time, increase 9 x 1 st in every 2^nd row (9 x 1 st in every 2^nd and 3^rd row by turn) 9 x 1 st in every 2^nd and 3^rd row by turn from the right side for shoulder chamfer and include them in the pattern = 160 sts. In 22 cm = 23 rows (26 cm = 27 rows) 29,5 cm = 31 rows from side seam, mark the center of back and work in symmetry, making decreases instead of decreases.
