Instructions

Lower Placket:

Make 29 chain sts + 3 chain sts increase with beige yarn and work with main pattern = 8 pattern repeats + ½ pattern repeat from both sides. Finish your work in 89 cm = 67 rows (97 cm = 73 rows) (105 cm = 79 rows) from the set-up row.

Back:

Leave the first and last 17 (18.5) 20 rows from left side of lower placket and work on the central 33 (35 + ½ from both sides) 39 rows of the main pattern, make 62 (68) 74 double crochets = 19 (21) 23 pattern repeats of the 1st row with beige yarn, then, change to white yarn. In 21.5 cm = 16 rows from lower placket, leave 5 (8) 8 double crochets from both sides for arm-hole, which is 1.5 (2.5) 2.5 pattern repeats. Leave ½ arches in the next row, which is ½ pattern repeats = 15 (15) 17 pattern repeats + ½ pattern repeats from both sides. In 32 cm = 24 rows (32 cm = 24 rows) 36 cm = 27 rows from lower placket, continue work with beige yarn.

For sleeve chamfers, bind off 3 (1) 3 x ½ arch in the 4th row = 16 (18) 20 pattern repeats. At 13.5 cm = 12 rows (15.5 cm = 14 rows) 17.5 cm = 16 rows length of sleeve, make the 7th row of the main pattern x once (1.5 cm). Finish your work = 15 (17) 19 cm length of sleeve.
