Instructions
Back
Cast on 100 sts and make 16 cm with 1 x 1 rib. Then, work with stockinette stitch and increase 10 x 1 st, 3 x 2 sts, and 1 x 20 sts from both sides in 13 cm = 172 sts.
Knit straight for 17 cm, then, bind off 3 x 15 sts, 1 x 24 sts, 1 x 3 sts, and 2 x 1 st from both sides.
Front
Cast on 100 sts and make 16 cm of 1 x 1 rib. Then, bind off the central 54 sts and finish each front (23 sts for each) separately, increasing sts from the side in the same way as for the back. Decrease 17 x 1 st every 6th row from inwards for neck-hole chamfer. At 57 cm height, bind off 2 x 15 sts, 1 x 12 sts from the side for shoulder chamfer. Make another front in symmetry.
Assembly
For the insert, make 8 motifs according to the scheme and sew them together in 4 pieces. Next, fasten a stripe of 4 motifs with 1 row of single crochets. Sew the stripes to the front as shown in the photo. Make shoulder and side seams. Fasten sleeves and back neck-hole with 1 row of single crochets.
