Instructions
Front and Back
Cast on 92 (100) 108 sts with circular knitting needles and grey yarn, circle the row in the ring and make 4 cm of rib for lower placket. Continue work with stockinette stitch, changing colors of yarn due to the stripes order. In 31 cm = 40 rows from lower placket, divide sts for forming arm-holes in the following way: the last 46 (50) 54 sts for front, 46 (50) 54 sts for back with stockinette stitch in straight and reversed rows. In 47,5 cm = 62 rows (50,5 cm = 66 rows) 53,5 cm = 70 rows from lower placket, bind off all sts in one row, the central 18 sts form neck-hole, 14 (16) 18 sts from each side – shoulder edges. Transfer the previously left sts to working needles and continue work with stockinette stitch in straight and reversed order. In 38,5 cm = 50 rows (41,5 cm = 54 rows) 44,5 cm = 58 rows from lower placket, bind off the central 10 sts for neck-hole and finish both sides separately. For smooth rounding, bind off 1 x 2 sts and 1 x 1 st in every 2nd row from inwards, then, 1 x 1 st in the next 4th row. Bind off the rest 14 (16) 18 sts of shoulder at the same height as back. Make the second side in symmetry.
Sleeves
Cast on 22 sts for each sleeve with grey yarn and make 3 cm of rib for placket. Continue work with stockinette stitch. Continue work with stockinette stitch. At the same time, starting from placket, increase 4 x 1 st from both sides in every 12th row (6 x 1 st in every 8th row) 8 x 1 st in every 6th row. At the same time in 31 cm = 40 rows from placket, change the yarn of placket to double yarn in marine color. There are 30 (34) 38 sts on knitting needles. In 46 cm = 60 rows from placket, bind off sts in one row.
Assembly
Make shoulder seams. Cast on 42 sts along neck-hole with double threads of marine color yarn and work with circle rows of rib. When the width of trim is 4 cm, bind off sts. Sew up the sleeves. Make side and sleeve seams.
