Instructions

Back and Front:

Make 280 chain stitches with white yarn and work with the main pattern, mark side lines – 70 stitches right front, 140 stitches back, 70 stitches left front. In 10 cm = 9 rows from the setup rows, make decreases according to scheme 3 in the marked places. In 28 cm = 25 rows from the setup row, leave 9 stitches in the marked places for arm-holes and finish all the parts separately. At first, make in the same way as back, decrease 5 x 2 stitches from both sides in every row for arm-hole and 1 x 2 stitches in every 2nd row. In 46 cm = 41 rows from the setup, leave the central 30 stitches for neck-hole and finish both sides separately. For smooth rounding, leave 5 stitches inwards and 2 x 2 stitches in every row. In 49 cm = 44 rows from the setup row, finish your work. Then, make the left front, create the arm-hole from the right side in the same way as for back. In 41 cm = 37 rows from the setup row, leave 15 stitches from the left side for neck-hole and bind off 1 x 4 stitches and 5 x 2 stitches in every row. Finish your work at the height of back and make the left front in symmetry.

Sleeves:

Make 90 chain stitches with white yarn and work with the main pattern. In 25 cm = 23 rows from the setup row, make sleeve cap matching with pattern design. In 42 cm = 38 rows from the setup row, finish your work.

Assembly:

Make shoulder seams, sew up sleeves, and complete sleeve seams. Make fringe along neck-hole and front; make the 1st and 2nd rows with white yarn, and the 3rd and 4th rows with light-violet yarn.
