Instructions
Back
With gray yarn, make a starting chain of 109 (121) 133 ch + 1 turning ch, then work in Pattern 1.
After 33 (37) 41 cm = 29 (33) 37 rows from the starting row, continue in Pattern 2, decreasing 36 (36) 42 sts evenly spaced in row 1.
After 50 (55) 60 cm from the starting row, leave the center 31 (35) 41 sts unworked for the neckline and finish the shoulders separately. In the next row, leave 1 x 3 sts unworked for the neckline.
After 52 (57) 62 cm from the starting row, finish the back.
Front
Work the same as the back, but with a slit and a deeper neckline. To do this, after 41 (46) 51 cm from the starting row, leave the center sts unworked and finish the sides separately.
After 44 (49) 54 cm from the starting row, for the neckline leave unworked at the edge in every row: 1 x 11 (12) 14 sts, 1 x 3 (4) 5 sts, and 4 x 1 st.
Finish the piece at the same height as the back.
Sleeves
With yellow yarn, make a starting chain of 61 (67) 73 ch + 1 turning ch for each sleeve, then work in Pattern 3.
After 3 (4) 5 cm from the starting row, work decreases for the sleeve cap according to the schematic.
After 13 (14) 15 cm from the starting row, finish the piece.
Finishing
Lightly dampen the pieces, stretch them to the measurements given in the schematic, pin them out, and leave to dry completely.
Sew the shoulder seams.
Work 1 round of sc and 1 round of crab stitch in gray yarn around the neckline and slit.
Sew in the sleeves so the center of each sleeve matches the shoulder seam. Sew the sleeve seams and side seams.
Lightly steam all seams when finished.
