Stitches Control

Lace pattern: 18.5 sts x 10 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

Instructions

Back

Make 84 (98) chain sts + 3 chain sts increase and work with lace pattern. In 61 cm from the set-up row, leave the central 34 cm for the neck-hole and finish both sides separately. In 65 cm from the set-up row, finish your work.

Front

Make in the same way as back, but with a deeper neck-hole. For this, in 50 cm from the set-up row, leave the central 34 cm and finish both sides separately.

Sleeves

Make 42 chain sts + 3 chain sts increase and work with lace pattern, starting with the 1^st st of pattern repeat. For sleeve chamfers, increase 5 (7) cm due to the pattern design. In 30 cm from the set-up row, finish your work.

Assembly

Make shoulder seams, sew up the sleeves, and make side and sleeve seams. Fasten the lower edge and edges of sleeves with arches. Make 200 single crochets along the neck-hole line. Then, catch the front parts of sts with circle knitting needles and make a placket with circle rows of garter stitch, making 1 double broaching in every 2^nd row in the corner sts (slip 2 cross knit sts, 1 knit st, draw it through the slipped sts) = 8 decreases in every row. In 12 rows from the beginning of the placket, bind off all the sts.
