Instructions

Make 316 chain stitches with Altin Basak Cordonnet yarn, then divide into 3 parts in the following way:

• 78 stitches for one part of the front,
• 160 stitches for the back,
• 70 stitches for another part of the front.

Make 74 rows for the back using a fillet net stitch, while both parts of the front follow Scheme 1.

Divide your work into front and back parts. Make each part separately.

Arm-Hole Construction

For making armholes, bind off 6 stitches, decrease 4 stitches once, 3 stitches once, 2 stitches once, and 1 stitch once. Finish the back at a height of 58 cm from the set-up edge.

Neck-Hole Formation

To form the neckhole for the front, bind off 9 stitches at 55 cm height, then decrease 4 stitches twice, 3 stitches twice, and 1 stitch twice.

Sleeve Instructions

Turn to making the sleeve by making 90 chain stitches with Altin Basak Cordonnet yarn. Then make 65 rows according to Scheme 1. For forming the underset, bind off 6 stitches from both sides, decrease 3 stitches 3 times, 2 stitches 6 times, and 1 stitch 10 times. Finish work at a height of 52 cm.

Assembly

Make shoulder and sleeve seams, then sew the sleeves. Next, create cuffs with Maxi yarn using half-crochets to a height of 7 cm. Construct the collar with the same yarn; make 110 stitches along the neck-hole and complete with 4 rows of half-crochets.

Final Touches

Bind off 5 stitches from both sides and work 15 rows with half-crochets. Fasten the center of the front with 4 cm plackets and create buttonholes to sew the buttons.
