Instructions

Back and Front

Start with lower edge of back and work as one-piece detail. Cast on 66 (74) sts with knitting needles 3 and make 1^st row (WS) with purls. Then, transfer sts to knitting needles 4 and work with net pattern. In 26 cm from the beginning of work, cast on 1 x 8 sts from both sides for sleeves = 82 (90) sts. In 41 (43) cm from the beginning of work, bind off the central 36 sts for back neck-hole and finish both sides separately. In 61 (63) cm from the beginning of work, cast on 36 sts for front neck-hole instead of bound off sts = 82 (90) sts. In 64 (68) cm from the beginning of work, bind off 1 x 8 sts from both sides for sleeves = 66 (74) sts. In 90 (94) cm from the beginning of work, bind off the rest sts.

Assembly

Make side seams and sew up the sleeves.
