Instructions

Back

Cast on 103 sts and make 1 WS row with knit sts (don’t take this row into account). Then, work with relief pattern. In 31.5 cm = 82 rows from the set-up row, bind off 5 sts from both sides for armholes and 1 x 4 sts, 1 x 3 sts, 1 x 2 sts and 2 x 1 sts in every 2^nd row. In 51 cm = 132 rows from the set-up row, bind off the rest 71 sts.

Left Front

Start with the left side seam: cast on 5 sts and work with relief pattern (1 selvedge st, the last 3 sts, 1 selvedge st). For chamfer, increase 12 x 4 sts and 1 x 2 sts in every 2^nd row from the right side, include the increased sts in the pattern = 55 sts. In 46 cm = 120 rows from the set-up row, bind off 4 sts for side seam from left side, then, 5 x 4 sts in every 2^nd row. At the same time, after the 4^th decrease, leave the first 20 sts for armhole in the next RS row, then, bind off 1 st, 1 x 2 sts, 1 x 3 sts and 1 x 5 sts in every 2^nd row. Then, include the previously left 20 sts in work and knit the pattern, bind off 4 sts from inwards and 4 x 4 sts in every 2^nd row. In 42 cm = 110 rows from the set-up row, bind off all the sts. For the placket, fasten the right side with weaver pattern, make 77 single crochets in the 1^st row with the help of crochet hook.

Right Front

Make in symmetry to the left.

Sleeves

Cast on 55 sts and make 1 WS row with knit sts (don’t take this row into account). Then, work with relief pattern. For sleeve chamfers, increase 9 x 1 sts in every 10^th row, include the increased sts in the pattern = 73 sts. In 40 cm = 104 rows from the set-up row, bind off 5 sts from both sides for sleeve cap, then, 1 x 4 sts, 1 x 3 sts, 1 x 2 sts and 4 x 1 st in every 2^nd row, 3 x 1 st in every 4^th row, 2 x 1 st, 1 x 2 sts, 1 x 4 sts in every 2^nd row. In 54 cm = 140 rows from the set-up row, bind off the rest 15 sts.

Assembly

Make shoulder seams at 4 cm; for this, make 4 picots of placket on the back. Sew up the sleeves, put the right front upon the left one, make side and sleeve seams.
