Instructions:

Back

Cast on 129 (147) sts with black yarn and make 1 cm of wrong-side pattern for placket. Then, work with zigzag pattern A according to scheme A. In 15 cm = 32 rows from placket, make the 1st row of decreases (= 3rd row of the scheme) for side chamfers = 101 (115) sts. After that, work with zigzag pattern C. In 59 cm = 124 rows from placket, bind off 1 x 8 (9) sts from both sides for shoulder chamfers, then bind off 2 x 7 (9) sts in every 2nd row. In 62 cm = 130 rows from placket, bind off the rest 57 (61) sts. The central 43 sts form the neck-hole, outer 7 (9) sts – shoulders.

 

Front

Make in the same way as back, but in 54.5 cm = 114 rows from placket, bind off the central 11 sts for neck-hole and finish both sides separately. For smooth rounding, bind off 1 x 6 sts, 1 x 4 sts, 1 x 2 sts and 4 x 1 st in every 2nd row from inwards. In 62 cm = 130 rows from placket, bind off the rest 7 (9) sts of shoulder.

Sleeves

Cast on 59 (73) sts with black yarn and make the placket in the same way as for the back. Then, work with zigzag pattern C according to stripes order B. At the same time, increase 14 x 1 st every 6th row, starting from placket from both sides for chamfers, include increased sts in pattern = 87 (101) sts. In 43 cm = 90 rows from placket, bind off all sts.

 

Assembly:

Make shoulder seams. For the collar, cast on 92 sts along the neck-hole with mustard color yarn and circular knitting needles. Make 4 circular rows of purls and 4 circular rows of knit sts by turn. At 24 cm height, bind off all sts as knit sts. Sew up the sleeves. Make side and sleeve seams.
