Instructions

The quantity of stitches is multiplied by 10 + 2 selvedge stitches. Start knitting this ornament on the wrong side row: selvedge stitch, * 2 purls, 6 knit stitches, 2 purls; repeat from * to end of row.

Start your work from the back. Cast on 112 stitches. After making the first row, start knitting with the main ornament. After knitting your work to 22 cm, start decreasing the quantity of stitches. At first, knit 2 stitches together in each vertical stripe of the wrong side once, resulting in 101 stitches on the knitting needles. When the length of your work is 44 cm, make the same increases twice. After the second set of decreases, the quantity of stitches will be 90. Continue working, and at the height of 47 cm, bind off the stitches to form the raglan lines. Bind off 1 stitch from both sides in a row 24 times, and 2 stitches 5 times. To do this, knit 2 stitches for a simple decrease after the first 3 stitches and before the last 3 stitches, and knit 3 stitches together for a double decrease. When the length of your back is 72 cm, bind off the last 22 stitches left on the knitting needles.

Left Front

Cast on 66 stitches for the left front and knit with the main ornament. At the height of 22 cm and 44 cm, make 2 purls together in the places of all the wrong side stripes, leaving 54 stitches on the knitting needles. When the length of the front is 47 cm, you should form the raglan line from the right side using the same technique as you used for the back. In the process of work, at 66 cm height, bind off from the left side 1 x 8 stitches for the neck hole. In a row, bind off 1 x 3 stitches, 2 x 2 stitches, and 3 x 1 stitch. At the end of the work, bind off the remaining stitches.

Right Front

The right front is made in an analogous way to the left. The only difference is that you need to make holes for fasteners. While making the holes, bind off the 8th and 9th stitches of the front, and cast them back on in the next row.

Sleeves

Turn to making the sleeves. Cast on 72 stitches for one sleeve, then knit with the main ornament. In the first wrong side row, proceed as follows: selvedge stitch, 3 knit stitches, 4 purls, * 6 knit stitches, 4 purls. Repeat the pattern 5 times from *, finishing with 3 knit stitches and a selvedge stitch. To form sleeve chamfers, you should increase 1 stitch 5 times in every 16th row. After knitting your sleeve to 42 cm, create the raglan lines along the edges of the work in the same way as for the back. Bind off the 14 stitches left on the needles at a height of 67 cm for the sleeve.

Assembly

In order to assemble your jacket, pin the parts to the scheme design. Sew the details on the raglan lines, followed by the side and sleeve seams. Make shoulder seams and sew the sleeves. Finish by fastening the edge of the neck hole with 4 cm of stockinette stitch, for which you should cast on 82 stitches. Finally, sew on the buttons.
