Relief pattern: the quantity of sts is multiple 34 + 1 + 2 selvage sts. Work due to the scheme, on which only RS rows are stated, make WS row sts and yarn overs as purls, if 2 yarn overs, make the 1^st yarn over as purl, the 2^nd yarn over as knit st. Start with 1 selvage st, pattern repeat, finish with st after pattern repeat and 1 selvage st. Repeat 1^st-28^th rows.

Stockinette stitch: in RS row – knit sts, in WS row – purls.


Stitches control: 22 sts x 30 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

Instructions

Back

Cast on 100 (134) sts and make 1,5 cm = 6 rows of relief placket, increase 5 sts in the last WS row = 105 (139) sts. Work with relief pattern. In 50,5 cm = 152 rows (57 cm = 172 rows) from placket, bind off 5 (7) sts from both sides of placket for shoulder chamfers and 1 x 5 sts and 2 x 4 sts (3 x 7 sts) in every 2^nd row. In 53,5 cm = 160 rows (60 cm = 180 rows) from placket, bind off the rest 69 (83) sts, the central 61 (69) sts form neck-hole, the outer 4 (7) sts from each side refer to shoulders.

Front

Make in the same way, as back, but bind off the central 21 (29) sts in 46 cm = 138 rows (52,5 cm = 158 rows) from placket and finish both sides separately. For smooth rounding, bid off 1 x 5 sts, 1 x 4 sts, 1 x 3 sts, 1 x 2 sts and 6 x 1 st in every 2^nd row from inwards. In 53,5 cm = 160 rows (60 cm = 180 rows) from placket, bind off the rest 4 (7) sts of shoulder from each side of placket.

After that, work with relief pattern, for size L-XL, start with 1 selvage st and sts before arrow A, 1 pattern repeat, finish with sts before arrow B and 1 selvage st; replace grey sts in the beginning and end of row to knit sts. In 21,5 cm = 64 rows (16 cm = 48 rows) from placket, increase 1 st from both sides for sleeve chamfers and bind off 1 x 1 st in the next 10^th row (5 x 1 st in every 6^th row) = 75 (103) sts, make the increased sts for size S with stockinette stitch, for size L-XL include them in the pattern repeat. In 28 cm = 84 rows from placket, bind off all sts.
