Used Patterns

Relief pattern: the quantity of stitches is multiple of 6 + 1. Work according to the scheme. Start with stitches before the pattern repeat, pattern repeat, and finish with stitches after the pattern repeat.

2 x 2 rib.

Stitches Control:

18 stitches x 7.5 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

Instructions

Back

Make 91 (97) chain stitches + 2 chain stitches for increase and work with relief pattern = 15 (16) pattern repeats + 1 selvage stitch. For one-piece sleeve, increase ½ pattern repeat from both sides in 28 cm = 21 rows and ½ pattern repeat in the next row. In 48 cm = 36 rows from the setup row, slip the central 5 pattern repeats for neck-hole (4 pattern repeats + ½ pattern repeat from both sides) + 1 stitch for the symmetry and finish both sides separately. For smooth rounding, bind off ½ pattern repeat in the next row from inwards. Finish your work on the rest 5 ½ (6) pattern repeats in 50.5 cm = 38 rows from the setup row.

Front

Make in the same way as the back, but with a deeper neck-hole. For this, in 40 cm = 30 rows from the setup row, bind off the central 3 pattern repeats + ½ pattern repeat from both sides (4 pattern repeats) and bind off 2 ½ pattern repeats in every following row. Finish your work on the rest stitches at the height of the back.

Assembly

Cast on 186 stitches for neck-hole placket, 102 stitches for each sleeve placket and work with rib between selvage stitches. At 6 cm width of placket, bind off all stitches in RS rows as purls.

For lower plackets, cast on 138 stitches and work with rib. At 9 cm width of placket, bind off all stitches as purls. Make the right shoulder seam. Sew all plackets to the edges of the pullover. Make the left shoulder seam, including the placket. Make side seams.
