Instructions

Back

Cast on 50 (54) 62 sts with Metallico + Aerea yarn and make a 2 cm section with the pattern for the placket between selvage sts. After that, work with Metallico + Feelana relief pattern, increasing 0 (2) 0 sts in the 1^st row. In 28 (26) 24 cm from the placket, increase 0 (0) 2 x 1 st in every 2^nd row from both sides, 3 (3) 2 x 2 sts, and 1 x 6 sts. In 60 cm from the placket, mark the central 26 (26) 28 sts for neck-hole and bind off all sts.

Front

Follow the same method as for the back; however, for the neck-hole, bind off the central 18 (18) 20 sts in 52 cm from the placket and finish your work separately, binding off 1 x 2 sts and 2 x 1 st in every 2^nd row. Bind off the rest of the shoulder sts at the height of the back.

Assembly

Join shoulder seams. Cast on 80 (80) 84 sts along the neck-hole with circular knitting needles and Metallico + Aerea yarn. Make 4 circular rows with the pattern for the placket and then bind off sts. Cast on 60 (64) 64 sts along the edges of the sleeves, make 4 rows with the pattern for the placket, and bind off all sts. Finally, make side and sleeve seams.
