Back:

Make 181 (197) 213 sts with grey yarn and make 1.5 cm = 3 rows of pearl pattern for lower placket, start with WS row. Continue work with multi-colored yarn and make 1 WS row of purls. Then, work with the pattern of slipped sts. In 33 (31) 29 cm = 113 (106) 99 rows from lower placket, make marks for arm-holes from both sides. In 13 (15) 17 cm = 44 (51) 58 rows from marks or in 46 cm = 157 rows from lower placket, bind off 1 x 1 st from both sides for shoulder chamfers, then, bind off 8 x 1 st in every 2^nd row, 28 (20) 12 x 2 sts and 0 (8) 16 x 3 sts. In 22 cm = 74 rows from the beginning of chamfers, bind off the rest 51 sts.

Front:

In 8 cm = 28 rows from the previously left central sts or in 46 cm = 157 rows from lower placket, make shoulder chamfers from the right side in the same way as for back. Make the second half in symmetry.
