Instructions

Back

Cast on 83 (93) sts with grey yarn and make 1 WS row of knit sts. Then, work with wavy pattern. In 45 cm = 108 rows (42 cm = 100 rows) from the set-up row, bind off 10 sts = 63 (73) sts from both sides for arm-holes. In 60 cm = 144 rows from the set-up row, bind off the central 39 sts and finish both sides separately. In 63 cm = 152 rows from the set-up row, bind off the rest 12 (17) sts of shoulder from each side.

Front

Make in the same way as back, but for deeper neck-hole, bind off the central 39 sts in 56 cm = 134 rows from the set-up row.

Sleeves

Cast on 43 (53) sts with grey yarn and make 1 WS row of knit sts. Then, work with wavy pattern. In 10 cm = 24 rows from the set-up row, increase 1 st from both sides for sleeve chamfers and 9 x 1 st in every 8th and 10th rows = 63 (73) sts, include the increased sts in pattern. In 50 cm = 120 rows from the set-up row, bind off all sts.

Assembly

Make shoulder seams. Cast on 108 sts along neck-hole with circular knitting needles and grey yarn and make 1 circle row of purls and bind off all sts as knit sts. Sew up the sleeves, make side and sleeve seams.
