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.

Back Section

Start your work from the back. Cast on 112 stitches. After making the 1st 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; as a result, you should get 101 stitches on the knitting needles. When the length of your work is 44 cm, make the same increases twice. After the second time of decreases, the quantity of stitches is 90. Continue working and at a height of 47 cm, bind off the stitches for forming 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 3 stitches together in case of 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 Section

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 a height of 66 cm, 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. In the end of work, bind off the remaining stitches.

Right Front Section

The right front is made in analogy with the left. The only difference is that you need to make holes for the fastener. While making the holes, bind off the 8th and 9th stitches of the front, and cast them on in the next row again.

Sleeves

Turn to making sleeves. Cast on 72 stitches for one sleeve, after that knit with the main ornament. In the 1st wrong side row, make in the following way: selvedge stitch, 3 knit stitches, 4 purls, * 6 knit stitches, 4 purls. Repeat the pattern 5 times from *, finishing with 3 knit stitches and the selvedge stitch. When making sleeve chamfers, you should increase 1 stitch 5 times in every 16th row. After knitting your sleeve to 42 cm, make raglan lines along the edges of work in the same way as for the back. Bind off 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, then on the side and sleeve seams. Make shoulder seams and sew the sleeves. Fasten the edge of the neck hole with 4 cm of stockinette stitch, for which cast on 82 stitches. Sew the buttons.
