Used Patterns

Puff stitch: 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-5^th rows x once, then, repeat 2^nd-5^th rows.

Stitches control: 19 sts x 10,5 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

Instructions

Back

Make 91 (97) 103 chain sts + 3 chain sts increase with yellow yarn and work with puff pattern. In 53,5 cm = 56 rows from the set-up row, skip the central 29 sts for neck-hole and finish both sides separately. For smooth rounding, bind off 2 x 3 sts in every following row. Finish your work on the rest 25 (28) 31 sts of shoulders in 58 cm = 61 rows from the set-up row.

Front

Make in the same way, as back, but with deeper neck-hole. For this, bind off the central 17 for neck-hole in 45,5 cm = 48 rows from the set-up row and for smooth rounding, bind off 4 x 3 sts in every following row.

Sleeves

Make 55 (61) 67 chain sts + 3 chain sts increase with yellow yarn and work with puff stitch pattern. Increase 1 x 1 st from both sides for sleeve chamfers in 30 cm = 32 rows from the set-up row, then, bind off 3 x 1 st in every 4^th row and 2 x 1 st in every 2^nd row = 67 (73) 79 sts. In 49,5 cm = 52 rows from the set-up row, finish your work.
