Stockinette stitch: in RS row – knit sts, in WS row – purls.

Instructions
Back
Cast on 56 (62) 66 sts with Pezza yarn and knitting needles 8 and make at first 1 WS row of knit sts. Then, work with stockinette stitch due to change of yarn with knitting needles 10, making knots edge. In 10 cm = 19 rows from the set-up row, make marked increases x once from both sides for side chamfers, then, 4 more times in every 12th row = 66 (72) 76 sts. In 28 cm = 50 rows from the 1st increase, mark arm-holes from both sides and knit straight. In 15 (19) cm = 28 (32) 34 rows from the beginning of arm-holes, bind off 6 (7) 9 sts from both sides for shoulder chamfers, then, 2 x 7 (8) 8 sts in every 2nd row. At the same time with the 1st decrease for shoulder chamfer, bind off the central 16 sts for neck-hole and finish both sides separately. For smooth rounding, bind off 1 x 3 sts and 1 x 2 sts in every 2nd row from inwards.
Front
Make in the same way, as back, but with deeper neck-hole. For this, in 12 (14) 16 cm = 22 (26) 28 rows from the beginning of arm-holes, bind off the central 8 sts and finish both sides separately. For smooth rounding, bind off 1 x 4 sts, 2 x 2 sts and 1 x 1 st in every 2nd row from inwards. Make shoulder chamfer from inwards at the height of back.
Sleeves
Cast on 30 (34) 38 sts with Pezza yarn and circular knitting needles 8 and at first make 1 WS row of knit sts. Then, work with stockinette stitch due to change of yarn with knitting needles 10, making knots edge. In 15 cm = 27 rows from the set-up row, make marked increases x once from both sides for chamfers, then, 3 more times in every 12th row = 38 (420 46 sts. In 25 cm = 46 rows from the 1st increase, bind off sts loosely.
