Knitting needles 6: in RS row – purls, in WS row – knit sts;
Main Pattern
Knitting needles 7: the quantity of sts is multiple of 17 + 2 selvage sts.
Work according to the scheme, where only RS rows are stated. Make WS rows according to the pattern, with yarn overs as purls. Start with 1 selvage st, then a pattern repeat, and finish with 1 selvage st. Make 1st-10th rows x 10 times (for sleeves 8 times) and 11th-20th rows x once. For the yoke, work with circle 19th-20th rows.Garter Stitch

17 sts x 21.5 rows = 10 x 10 cm.
Instructions
Back/Front
Cast on 87 sts and make 2 cm = 4 rows of wrong-side pattern for the placket. Then, work with the main pattern. In 51 cm = 110 rows from placket, leave the sts.
Sleeves
Cast on 42 sts and make 2 cm = 4 rows of wrong-side pattern. Then, work with the main pattern, divide the sts as follows: 1 selvage st, slip the last 3 sts of pattern repeat x once, pattern repeat x twice, the first 3 sts of pattern repeat x once, 1 selvage st. For sleeve chamfers, increase 14 x 1 st in every 6th row from both sides, including the increased sts in the pattern = 70 sts. In 42 cm = 90 rows from placket, leave the sts.
Assembly
Transfer the previously left sts of front, right sleeve, back, and left sleeve to circular knitting needles for round yoke = 314 sts and work with the main pattern, making selvage sts together with previous/next st as knit2tog = 306 sts (= 18 pattern repeats). In the next 2nd row, make both sts before and after one stripe of knit sts as purl2tog = 270 sts. Make such decreases x 4 times in every 6th circle row = 126 sts. In the next 2nd row, make the 1st st of the stripe of knit sts together with the previous knit st, and the 2nd st of the stripe of knit sts together with the next st as broaching = 90 sts. In 15 cm = 32 rows from the beginning of yoke, make 4 rows of garter stitch, decreasing 6 sts in the 1st row = 84 sts. Then, make the collar with stockinette stitch. In 25 cm = 54 rows from the beginning of the collar, bind off all the sts loosely. Make side and sleeve seams.
