Instructions

Back

Cast on 110 sts and make 2 cm of stockinette stitch. Then, make a relief row, followed by 2 rows of stockinette stitch, then another relief row, 2 cm of stockinette stitch, and 2 relief rows. After that, continue working with stockinette stitch straight. At 46 cm height, bind off 1 x 5 sts from both sides for arm-holes and 12 x 1 st in every 2^nd row from both sides (make decreases, stepping back 3 sts from the edge). At 25 cm height, bind off the rest of the sts.

Front

Make in the same way as back to the arm-holes. At the same time, divide your work in half with the beginning of arm-holes and finish both sides separately, bind off 1 st in every RS row. Make arm-hole in the same way as for back. Bind off the rest of the shoulders at 25 cm height of arm-hole. Finish the other part by knitting straight.

Sleeves

Cast on 64 sts along the arm-hole, and work with stockinette stitch, making a relief row every 3 cm. Increase 12 x 1 st and 1 x 5 sts in every RS row from both sides for sleeve widening (make increases, stepping back 3 sts from the edge). Then, decrease 1 st from both sides in every 8^th row. After that, knit all the sts together as knit 2 together and work with 2 x 2 rib for 2 cm, then bind off the sts.

Assembly

Fasten the lower edge and neck-hole line with a “shrimp stitch” using a crochet hook.
