Instructions
Back
Cast on 74 (86) sts and make 4 cm with rib for placket, increase 12 (14) sts due to the scheme in the last WS row = 86 (100) sts. Continue work with rhombs pattern. In 46,5 cm = 100 rows (51 cm = 110 rows) from placket, bind off 1 x 3 sts from both sides for shoulder chamfer, then, bind off 6 x 2 sts (6 x 3 sts) in every 2nd row. At the same time, in 48,5 cm = 104 rows (53 cm = 114 rows) from placket, bind off the central 36 (40) sts along neck-hole and finish both sides separately. For smooth rounding, bind off 3 x 1 st in every 2nd row. In 53 cm = 114 rows (57,5 cm = 124 rows) from placket, bind off the rest 7 (6) sts of shoulder.

Sleeves
Cast on 38 sts for each sleeve and make placket in the same way, as back, increase 6 sts in the last WS row = 44 sts. Continue work with rhombs pattern. At the same time, incraese 4 x 1 st in every 16th row from both sides (10 x 1 st in every 6th and 8th row) for sleeve chamfers due to the pattern = 52 (64) sts. In 37 cm = 80 rows from placket, bind off 1 x 3 sts from both sides for sleeve cap, then, bind off 6 x 3 sts in every 2nd row. In 43,5 cm = 94 rows from placket, bind off the rest 10 (22) sts.
Assembly
