Instructions

Back

Cast on 90 sts and make 12 rows of stockinette stitch. Fold the stripe and make the next row as knit2tog (1 st from needle, 1 st from set-up row). After making the fold, work with the relief pattern, decreasing 1 st from both sides in every 8th row for better fitting. At 80 rows height, 20 sts are decreased. Then, work, increasing 5 x 1 st in every 10th row. At 150 rows height of relief pattern, start making decreases for armholes. Bind off 1 x 4 sts, 1 x 2 sts, and 1 x 1 st from both sides in every circular row. At 210 rows height, divide all sts in half and bind off 1 x 4 sts, 1 x 2 sts, and 1 x 1 st every 2nd row. For shoulder chamfers and neck-hole, bind off sts at the same height. For shoulder chamfer, bind off 2 x 5 sts, and 1 x 7 sts in every 2nd row. For neck-hole, bind off 2 x 5 sts, and 1 x 6 sts. Bind off sts in the 219th row of relief pattern. Make the second side in symmetry.

Front

Cast on 90 sts and make in the same way as the back to the 190th row. After that, divide sts in half and finish each side separately, making decreases for shoulder and neck-hole chamfers. For shoulder chamfer, bind off 2 x 5 sts, and 1 x 7 sts in every 2nd row. For neck-hole, bind off 1 x 5 sts, 1 x 3 sts, 2 x 2 sts, 4 x 1 st from the opposite side. In the 219th row from the beginning of the relief pattern, bind off sts. Make the second side in symmetry.

Sleeves

Cast on 40 sts and make the fold in the same way as for the back. After that, work with the relief pattern for 30 rows, then increase 10 x 1 st in every 7th row from both sides. At 156 rows height, bind off 2 x 2 sts, 1 x 3 sts, and 7 x 5 sts in every 7th row from both sides. At 156 rows height, bind off 2 x 2 sts, 1 x 3 sts, and 7 x 5 sts in every 2nd row from both sides = 30 sts. Bind off sts at the height of 180 rows.

Assembly

Make 12 rows along the front and back neck-hole and work with the stockinette stitch. Do not fasten off. Make shoulder and side seams, sew up the sleeves, and make side seams.
