Used Patterns

Lace Pattern:

Due to the scheme. Start every row as stated and with stitches before pattern repeat, pattern repeat, and finish with stitches after pattern repeat. Make 1^st-10^th rows once, then repeat 3^rd-10^th rows.

Garter Stitch:

Knit.

Arches:

1^st row: single crochets;

2^nd row: * 1 slip stitch, skip 2 stitches, 5 double crochets in the next stitch, skip 2 stitches*; repeat from * to *.

Stitches Control:

Lace pattern: 18.5 stitches x 10 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

Instructions

Back:

Make 84 (98) chain stitches + 3 chain stitches increase and work with lace pattern. In 61 cm from the set-up row, leave the central 34 cm for neck-hole and finish both sides separately. In 65 cm from the set-up row, finish your work.

Front:

Make in the same way as back, but with a deeper neck-hole. For this, in 50 cm from the set-up row, leave the central 34 cm and finish both sides separately.

Sleeves:

Make 42 chain stitches + 3 chain stitches increase and work with lace pattern, starting with the 1^st stitch of pattern repeat. For sleeve chamfers, increase 5 (7) cm from both sides due to the pattern design in natural size. In 30 cm from the set-up row, finish your work.

Assembly:

Make shoulder seams, sew up the sleeves, and make side and sleeve seams. Fasten the lower edge and edges of sleeves with arches. Make 200 single crochets along the neck-hole. Then, catch the front parts of stitches with circular knitting needles and make a placket with circular rows of garter stitch, making 1 double broaching in corner stitches in every 2^nd row = 8 decreases in every row. In 12 rows from the beginning of the placket, bind off all the stitches.
