Instructions

Back

Cast on 108 (118) 128 sts with knitting needles 4 and make 3 rows of garter stitch. Work with stockinette stitch using knitting needles 4.5. In 32 cm from the set-up row, decrease 16 (17) 18 sts = 92 (101) 110 sts. Work with relief pattern in the next WS row as follows: 1 selvage st, 10 (11) 12 pattern repeats, 1 selvage st. For side chamfers, increase 1 x 1 st from both sides in the next 7th row, then, 1 x 1 st in the next 6th row = 96 (105) 114 sts. Make increased sts in stockinette stitch. In 39 cm from the set-up row, mark arm-holes from both sides. In 20 (21) 22 cm from marks, bind off 1 x 4 (4) 5 sts, then, bind off 4 x 4 sts and 2 x 5 sts in every 2nd row (6 x 5 sts in every 2nd row), 2 x 5 sts and 4 x 6 sts in every 2nd row. In 62 (63) 64 cm from the set-up row, bind off the central 26 (27) 26 sts for neck-hole, then, decrease 1 x 3 sts and 1 x 2 sts in every 2nd row.

Front

Make in the same way as back. In 51 (52) 53 cm from the set-up row, divide your work in the middle = 48 (52) 57 sts and decrease 18 x 1 st in every 2nd row. Make shoulder chamfers in the same way as for back.

Sleeves

Cast on 62 sts with knitting needles 4 and make 3 rows of garter stitch. Work with stockinette stitch using knitting needles 4.5. For chamfers, increase 1 x 1 st of stockinette stitch from both sides in the 25th row. Then, 6 x 1 st in every 6th row, followed by 6 x 1 st in every 4th row (4 x 1 st in every 6th row, 10 x 1 st in every 4th row) totaling 16 x 1 st in every 4th row = 88 (92) 98 sts. In 30 cm from the set-up row, bind off 1 x 10 (19) 11 sts from both sides. Then, 3 x 9 sts (2 x 10 sts and 1 x 9 sts), 1 x 11 sts, and 2 x 10 sts in every 2nd row. In 33 cm from the set-up row, bind off the remaining 14 sts.

Assembly

Make shoulder seams. Fasten neck-hole with 1 row of “crab stitch” using crochet hook 4. Sew up the sleeves in 20 (21) 22 cm from both sides of shoulder seams. Finally, make side and sleeve seams.
