Main pattern: The quantity of initial row is a multiple of 8 + 3. Work according to the scheme. Start with stitches before pattern repeat, follow the pattern repeat, and finish with stitches after pattern repeat.

Stitches Control:

18 stitches x 8 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

Instructions

Back

Make 91 (99) 107 chain stitches + 3 chain stitches for the increase and work with the main pattern. In 55 cm from the starting row, skip the central 18 cm for the neck-hole and finish both sides separately. For smooth rounding, bind off 1 x 2 cm and 2 x 1 cm in every following row from inwards. Finish your work on the remaining stitches of the shoulder in 60 cm from the starting row.

Note: The front is 5 cm shorter than the back.

Front

Make in the same way as the back, but start making decreases for the neck-hole at 50 cm from the starting row and finish your work at 55 cm from the starting row.

Sleeves

Make 51 (51) 59 chain stitches + 3 chain stitches for each sleeve and work with the main pattern. In 35 (25) 22 cm from the starting row, increase 1 stitch from both sides for sleeve chamfers and then, 4 (7) 7 x 1 stitch every 2nd row as per the pattern. In 45 (43) 40 cm from the starting row, finish your work.

Assembly

Make shoulder seams and sew up the sleeves. Make side and sleeve seams, leaving the outer 5 cm open for cuts in the side seams.
