Instructions

Back

Cast on 71 sts and work with the fancy pattern. At 40 cm height, bind off 1 x 2 sts from both sides for armholes, then 1 x 2 sts and 1 x 1 st in every 2^nd row until reaching 61 sts. At 58 cm height, bind off the central 19 sts for the neck-hole and finish both sides separately, binding off 1 x 5 sts in every 2^nd row. At 60 cm height, bind off the remaining 16 sts for each shoulder.

Front

Follow the same instructions as for the back, including the neck-hole. At 55 cm height, bind off the central 15 sts to form the neck-hole. Complete both sides separately, binding off 1 x 3 sts, 1 x 2 sts, and 2 x 1 st in every 2^nd row. At 60 cm height, bind off the remaining 16 sts for each shoulder.

Sleeves

Cast on 53 sts and work with the fancy pattern. Decrease 5 x 1 st in every 8^th row from both sides to reach 43 sts. At 25 cm height, increase 1 x 1 st from both sides and 2 x 1 st in every 12^th row until reaching 49 sts. At 43 cm height, bind off 1 x 2 sts from both sides, then bind off 7 x 2 sts in every 4^th row until finishing with the remaining 17 sts.

Assembly

Make shoulder seams.

Neck-Hole Trim

Cast on 70 sts along the neck-hole using circular knitting needles and the fancy pattern, similar to the front and back. At 8 cm height, bind off the sts loosely. Sew the sleeves in place and make side and sleeve seams.
