Instructions

Back

Cast on 136 (144) 152 sts in criss-cross method with knitting needles 3 and make 4 cm of 1 x 1 rib for the lower placket. Increase 1 (2) 3 sts in the last WS row = 137 (146) 155 sts. After that, continue work with the relief pattern. For short raglan chamfers, bind off 1 x 3 sts from both sides in 34 cm = 128 rows from the lower placket, then bind off 7 x 1 st in every 2^nd row. In 38 cm = 144 rows from the lower placket, leave the rest 117 (126) 135 sts.

Front

Make in the same way as the back.

Sleeves

Cast on 56 (62) 68 sts in criss-cross method with knitting needles 3 for each sleeve and make 4 cm of 1 x 1 rib for the lower placket. Increase 27 (30) 33 sts in the last WS row = 83 (92) 101 sts. Then continue work with the relief pattern, for size M, start with the 9^th row according to the scheme. In 42 cm = 160 rows (40 cm = 152 rows) (38 cm = 144 rows) from the lower placket, make short raglan chamfers in the same way as for the back. In 46 cm = 176 rows (44 cm = 168 rows) (42 cm = 160 rows) from the lower placket, leave the rest 63 (72) 81 sts = 7 (8) 9 pattern repeats.

Round Yoke

Transfer the previously left sts of back, 1^st sleeve, front and 2^nd sleeve to the long circular knitting needles = 360 (396) 432 sts = 40 (44) 48 pattern repeats. After that, continue work with yoke pattern, starting with the 1^st circle row according to the scheme. In 12 cm = 46 circle rows (14 cm = 54 circle rows) (16 cm = 62 circle rows) from the beginning of yoke (in the next 15^th (7^th) 15^th circle row according to the scheme) make decreases according to the scheme in every pattern repeat, making decreases according to the scheme, but don’t make yarn overs = 320 (340) 360 sts. For the neck-hole placket, continue work with double rib with circular knitting needles 2.5 in 12.5 cm = 48 circle rows (14.5 cm = 56 circle rows) (16.5 cm = 64 circle rows) from the beginning of work. In 3 cm, bind off sts, make knit two together before you bind off sts = 160 (170) 180 sts.
