Instructions

Back

Cast on 87 sts and work with relief pattern. In 17.5 cm = 50 rows from the set-up edge, bind off 87 sts for fitting and 2 x 1 st in every 12th row = 81 sts. In 26 cm = 74 rows from the set-up edge, start work with stockinette stitch. In 8 cm = 24 rows from the relief pattern, increase 1 st from both sides for side chamfers and 2 x 1 st in every 16th row = 87 sts. In 25 cm = 74 rows from the relief pattern, bind off 3 sts from both sides for the raglan lines and 27 x 1 st in every row. In 44 cm = 130 rows from the relief pattern, bind off the rest 27 sts for the neck-hole.

Front

Make in the same way as the back. In 15.5 cm = 46 rows from the relief pattern, bind off the central 3 sts and finish both sides separately. For smooth rounding, bind off 2 x 1 st in every 4th row from the inner edge, and at 7.5 cm = 22 rows in height, increase 1 st and 1 x 1 st in the next 4th row. In 25 cm = 74 rows from the relief pattern, bind off 3 sts from both sides for raglan chamfers and 17 x 1 st in every 2nd row. At the same time, in 26.5 cm = 78 rows from the relief pattern, bind off 5 sts from the inner edge for the neck-hole and 1 x 3 sts, 1 x 2 sts, 7 x 1 st in every 2nd row, 3 x 1 st in every 4th row. In 37.5 cm = 110 rows from the relief pattern, bind off the rest 2 sts from each side.

Left Sleeve

Cast on 70 sts and work with stockinette stitch. In 2.5 cm = 8 rows from the set-up edge, make raglan chamfer from the right side, as it was previously made for the back, and from the left side – as in front. In 15 cm = 44 rows from the set-up edge, bind off 3 sts from the left side for smooth rounding and 2 x 3 sts, 2 x 2 sts, 5 x 1 st in every 2nd row. In 21.5 cm = 64 rows from the set-up edge, bind off the rest 2 sts.

Right Sleeve

Make in symmetry to the left.

Assembly

Make all seams. Fasten the edges of sleeves and neck-hole with 1 circle row of single crochets and “shrimp stitch,” sew the buttons, and make button-hole.
