Front:

Make in the same way as the back.

Sleeves:

Cast on 70 (78) 86 stitches in criss-cross method with golden yarn and knitting needles and work with the slipped stitches pattern with khaki yarn. At the same time, increase 5 x 1 stitch in every 4^th row due to the pattern = 80 (88) 96 stitches. Make raglan chamfers from both sides in 12 cm = 25 rows from the set-up row in the same manner as for the back. Leave the remaining 28 stitches in 24.5 cm = 52 rows (26.5 cm = 56 rows) or 28.5 cm = 60 rows from the set-up row.

Assembly:

Make all the seams. Transfer the previously left stitches on the knitting needles and make 1 circle row of knit stitches and 1 circle row of purls on all 152 stitches. Then, bind off all the stitches as knit stitches.
