Front

Make in the same way as back.

Sleeves

Cast on 42 (46) 50 stitches for each sleeve and make 1 WS row of purls. After that, make 4 cm of rib for the lower placket, increasing 40 (44) 48 stitches in the last row = 82 (90) 98 stitches. Then, continue work with the pattern with slipped stitches. In 40 cm = 80 rows from the lower placket, bind off all stitches.

Assembly

Make shoulder seams. Cast on 62 (64) 66 stitches of front and back with circular knitting needles = 124 (128) 132 stitches. Make side and sleeve seams, sew sleeve plackets. Cast on 228 (244) 260 stitches along the lower edge of the pullover and cast on 4 stitches more to make the placket. Sew ends of the placket.
