Instructions

Back

Cast on 74 (86) 98 sts and work with rib A. In 7 cm = 20 rows (7,5 cm = 22 rows) 8,5 cm = 24 rows from the set-up row, increase 1 st from both sides for chamfers and 9 x 1 st in every 6^th row = 94 (106) 118 sts, include the increased sts in the pattern. In 30 cm = 84 rows (30,5 cm = 86 rows) 31,5 cm = 88 rows from the set-up row, bind off 3 sts from both sides for arm-holes and decrease 7 x 1 st in every 2^nd row. In 45,5 cm = 128 rows (48,5 cm = 136 rows) 51,5 cm = 144 rows from the set-up row, bind off the central 34 (38) 42 sts for neck-hole and finish both sides separately. For smooth rounding, bind off 3 x 2 sts in every 2^nd row. In 48,5 cm = 136 rows (51,5 cm = 144 rows) 54,5 cm = 152 rows from the set-up row, bind off the rest 14 (18) 22 sts of shoulder from each side.

Front

Cast on 74 (86) 98 sts and work with B (A) B rib. Make increases at chest instead of chamfers in the following way: in 23,5 cm = 66 rows (25 cm = 70 rows) 26,5 cm = 74 rows from the set-up row, mark the central 32 sts and increase 1 cross purl from across thread of yarn from both sides of marked sts (= between 2 purls). Repeat these increases x 11 times in every 4^th row, make cross knit st for the next 2 increases and then, cross purls for 2 increases. At the same time, make arm-holes from both sides in the same way, as for back. In 33,5 cm = 94 rows (36,5 cm = 102 rows) 39,5 cm = 110 rows from the set-up row, divide your work in the center for vent and finish both sides separately. In 40,5 cm = 114 rows (43,5 cm = 122 rows) 46,5 cm = 130 rows from the set-up row, bind off 12 (14) 16 sts from inwards for smooth rounding and 6 x 2 sts, 1 x 1 st in every 2^nd row. Bind off the rest 14 (18) 22 sts of shoulder from each side at the height of back.

Sleeves

Cast on 63 (75) 87 sts and make 0,5 cm = 2 rows of wrong-side pattern for placket. Then, work with wavy pattern. In 29 cm = 78 rows from placket, increase 1 st from both sides for sleeve chamfers and bind off 4 x 1 st of stockinette stitch in every 6^th row = 73 (85) 97 sts. In 43,5 cm = 118 rows from placket, bind off 3 sts form both sides for sleeve caps, 15 x 1 st, 3 x 2 sts and 1 x 4 sts in every 2^nd row. In 58,5 cm = 158 rows from placket, bind off the rest 17 (29) 41 sts.

Assembly

Fasten the short sides of plackets and edge of vent with 1 row of slip st, make 1 button loop of 6 chain sts. Sew up sleeves, make side and sleeves seams. Sew button.
