Instructions:

Back:

Start with the lower detail. For this, make 121 (130) chain stitches + 3 chain stitches increase. Work with relief pattern = 13 (14) pattern repeats. In 44 cm = 35 rows from the setup row, finish detail with the 3^rd row of the scheme. For the yoke, make 86 (96) chain stitches + 1 chain stitch increase. Work with single crochets = 86 (96) single crochets. Increase 1 stitch from both sides in the 5^th row from the setup row, then, 4 x 1 stitch in every 4^th row = 96 (106) stitches. In 11 cm = 28 rows from the setup row, decrease 1 stitch from both sides for raglan chamfers, then, 16 x 1 stitch in every 2^nd row and 14 (19) x 1 stitch in every row. In 19 (21) cm = 48 (53) rows from the beginning of raglan, finish your work. The remaining 34 single crochets will form the neck-hole.

Front:

Make the lower detail in the same way as for the back. Make the yoke of 2 details. First, make 43 (48) chain stitches + 1 chain stitch increase for the left half and work with single crochets = 43 (48) single crochets. Make side and raglan chamfers from the right side at the height of the back. Decrease 1 stitch from the left side in the 4^th row from the setup row, then, 10 x 1 stitch in every 4^th row and 4 x 1 stitch in every 6^th row = 2 single crochets. Finish your work at the height of the back. Create the right half of the yoke symmetrically.

Sleeves:

First, make the lower detail of the sleeve. For this, make 76 (85) chain stitches + 3 chain stitches increase. Work with the relief pattern = 8 (9) pattern repeats. In 44 cm = 35 rows from the setup row, finish the detail with the 3^rd row according to the scheme. Then, make the upper detail of single crochets on the lower detail. For this, turn with 1 chain stitch and make 56 (62) single crochets in the last row of the relief pattern. Add 1 stitch in the 3^rd (2^nd) row for chamfers, then, bind off 4 (5) x 1 stitch in every 2^nd row and 0 (1) x 1 stitch in every row = 66 (76) stitches. In 5 cm = 13 rows from the end of the relief pattern, make raglan chamfers from both sides in the same way as for the back. In 19 (21) cm from the beginning of the raglan, finish your work.

Assembly:

Sew the back yoke to the lower detail of the back. Mark the center on the lower detail of the front. Sew the left side of the yoke to the center. Sew the right side in the same way. Make side and sleeve seams. Sew up the sleeves. Fasten the edge of the neck-hole with 3 circular rows of single crochets using crochet hook 2.5, making 2 single crochets together in every circular row in the center of the front. Finish every circular row with 1 slip stitch.
