Instructions
Back
Make 89 (98) 107 chain sts + 3 chain sts increase with light-green yarn and work with the main pattern. For better fitting, leave 1 x 1 st in every 11th row from both sides and 2 x 1 st in every 10th row = 83 (92) 101 sts. In 56.5 cm = 65 rows (55 cm = 63 rows) 53 cm = 61 rows from the set-up row, bind off 1 x 3 sts from both sides for armholes and 3 x 2 sts in every 2nd row = 65 (74) 83 sts. In 70.5 cm = 81 rows from the set-up row, leave the central 31 (30) 31 sts and 17 (22) 26 sts of shoulder, finishing at 73 cm from the set-up row.
Front
Make in the same way as back, but with a V-shaped neck-hole. For this, at 56.5 cm = 65 rows from the set-up row, leave the central st for sizes S and L, divide your work in half and finish separately for size M. For neck-hole chamfer, bind off 7 x 2 sts and 1 x 1 st in every 2nd row. Finish your work with 17 (22) 26 sts of the shoulder at the height of the back.
Assembly
Make seams. Fasten armholes with 1 row of single crochets using white yarn.
I find these patterns very hard to follow. I don't like to follow diagrams. I like a stitch by stitch pattern.
