Knitting needles 4;

Circular knitting needles 4.

Size: S (M) L.

Used Patterns

Rib: the quantity of sts is even. Start and finish every row with 1 selvage st. RS rows: * 1 cross knit st, 1 purl*; WS rows: * 1 knit st, 1 cross purl*.

Relief pattern: the quantity of sts is multiple 6 + 2 selvage sts. Work due to the scheme, on which only RS rows are stated, make sts in WS rows and yarn overs as purls. Start with 1 selvage st and sts before pattern repeat, pattern repeat, finish with sts after pattern repeat and 1 selvage st. Repeat 1^st-12^th rows.

Marked decrease: right side: 1 selvage st, 2 knit sts, broaching; left side: work due to the pattern to the last 5 sts, knit2tog, 2 knit sts, 1 selvage st.

Stitches control: 22 sts x 26,5 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

Instructions

Back

Cast on 110 (116) 122 sts and make 10 cm of rib for placket. Continue work due to relief pattern. In 16 cm = 42 rows from placket (in the 7^th row of the scheme), bind off 1 x 11 sts from both sides for raglan chamfers, then, make marked decreases of 21 (24) 27 x 1 st in every 2^nd row. In 32,5 cm = 86 rows (34,5 cm = 92 rows) 37 cm = 98 rows from placket, bind off the rest 46 sts for neck-hole.

Front

Make in the same way, as back, but start making raglan chamfer in 11,5 cm = 30 rows from placket. In 25 cm = 66 rows (27 cm = 72 rows) 29,5 cm = 78 rows from placket, bind off the central 18 sts for neck-hole and finish both sides separately. For smooth rounding, bind off 3 x 1 st in every 2^nd row from inwards. In 28 cm = 74 rows (30 cm = 80 rows) 32,5 cm = 86 rows from placket, bind off the rest 6 sts from placket.

Sleeves

Cast on 56 (62) 68 sts for each sleeve and make 10 cm of rib for placket. Continue work with relief pattern. At the same time, increase 12 x 1 st in every 6^th row from both sides of plackets for sleeve chamfers and work due to the pattern = 80 (86) 92 sts. Make raglan chamfer in 34 cm = 90 rows from placket in the same way, as for back. In 50,5 cm = 134 rows (52,5 cm = 140 rows) 55 cm = 146 rows from placket, bind off the rest 16 sts.

Assembly

Make raglan seams. For placket, cast on 120 sts along neck-hole with circular knitting needles and work with rib in circle rows. Bind off all sts when the width of placket is 4,5 cm. Make side and sleeve seams.
