Used Patterns

Main pattern: the quantity of sts is multiple 2 + 1. Work due to the scheme. Start with sts before pattern repeat, pattern repeat, finish with sts after pattern repeat. Make 1^st-4^th rows x once, then, repeat 3^rd-4^th rows.

Stitches control: 13,5 sts x 11,5 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

Instructions

Back

Make 83 (89) 95 chain sts + 1 chain st increase and work with the main pattern. In 8,5 cm = 10 rows from the set-up row, decrease 1 st from both sides for side chamfer and then, bind off 7 x 1 st in every 10^th row = 67 (73) 79 sts. In 42 cm = 48 rows from the set-up row, bind off 5 sts from both sides for raglan chamfer and 13 x 1 st in every 2^nd row (4 x 1 st in every 2^nd row and 12 x 1 st in every row and every 2^nd row by turn) 3 x 1 st in every row and 16 x 1 st in every 2^nd row and every row. Finish your work in 24 cm = 28 rows from the beginning of raglan.

Left Front

Make 55 (59) 63 chain sts + 1 chain st increase and work with the main pattern. Make decreases for side chamfer and raglan along right side. At the same time, in 47 cm = 54 rows from the set-up row, bind off 7 x 2 sts and 13 x 1 st in every row from the left side (8 x 2 sts and 12 x 1 st) 8 x 2 sts and 12 x 1 st. In 66 cm = 76 rows from the set-up row, finish your work on the rest 2 (2) 3 sts.

Make in symmetry to the left front.

Sleeves

For each sleeve, make 31 (35) 39 chain sts + 3 chain sts increase and work with the main pattern. At the same time, increase 8 x 1 st in every 6^th row from both sides (9 x 1 st in every 5^th and 6^th row by turn) 10 x 1 st in every 5^th row = 47 (53) 59 sts. In 47 cm = 54 rows from the set-up row, make decreases for raglan chamfer from both sides in the same way, as for back. Finish your work on the rest 11 sts in 24 cm = 28 rows from the beginning of raglan.

Assembly

Make sleeve, side and raglan seams. For collar, fasten 31 sts of back neck-hole with the main pattern. Widen pattern in every row from both sides on 3 sts (sleeves) and on 6 sts (front neck-hole) = 111 (113) 115 sts. Then, make 1 row of single crochets on all sts of collar. In 45 cm from the lower edge, make button-loop on 8 chain sts.
