Make arm-hole from one side in the same way as for back. At the same time, decrease 1 st in every 2nd row from inwards until there are 16 sts left on knitting needles. Bind off the remaining sts of shoulder at the height of back.

Sleeves

Work across. Cast on 48 sts with knitting needles 5 and work with stockinette stitch. At 5 cm height, increase 5 x 1 st from one side in every RS row. Then, make 1 x 2 sts, 1 x 3 sts, 1 x 4 sts, and 1 x 5 sts at the end of every row. Make the second sleeve in the same way.

Assembly:

Make shoulder seams, sew up the sleeves, and make side and sleeve seams. Cast on sts along the edges of front and neck-hole and make 4 rows of stockinette stitch. Sew buttons.
