Back
With purple yarn, make a chain of 81 (91) 101 ch + 1 turning ch and work in Pattern 1 following the stripe sequence.
After 59 cm from the beginning of Pattern 1, shape the neckline by decreasing over the center 24 (26) 27 cm according to the full-size pattern.
After 65 cm from the starting row, finish the piece.
Front
Work as for the back, but with a deeper neckline. To do this, after 49 cm from the beginning of Pattern 1, shape the neckline by decreasing over the center 24 (26) 27 cm according to the full-size pattern. Finish at the same height as the back.

To shape the sleeve slant according to the full-size pattern, increase 12.5 (12.5) 11 cm on both sides, evenly distributed along the height. After 30 cm from the starting row, finish the piece.

Lightly dampen the pieces, stretch them to the measurements given in the schematic, and leave to dry completely. Sew the shoulder seams.
Work 1 round of sc and 1 round of crab stitch (= sc worked from left to right) around the neckline in dark purple yarn.
Sew in the sleeves so that the center of the sleeve matches the shoulder seam. Sew the side seams and sleeve seams.
Work 1 round of sc and 1 round of crab stitch around the bottom edge and sleeve edges in dark purple yarn.
