Instructions
Back
With gray yarn, chain 85 (91) 97 sts + 1 turning ch, and work 3 cm in Pattern 2. Continue in light gray yarn in Pattern 1. For shaping, decrease 4 cm on both sides over the next 12 cm as shown in the schematic, then increase again over the next 23 cm.
After 35 cm from the band, decrease for the raglan shaping over the next 23 (24) 25 cm on both sides by 15 (17) 18.5 cm as shown in the schematic.
After 58 (59) 60 cm from the band, the back is complete.
Left Front
With gray yarn, chain 43 (46) 49 sts + 1 turning ch, and work 3 cm in Pattern 2. Continue in light gray yarn in Pattern 1. For shaping, decrease 4 cm along the right edge over the next 12 cm as shown in the schematic, then increase again over the next 23 cm.
After 35 cm from the band, decrease for the raglan shaping over the next 20 (21) 22 cm along the right edge by 12.5 (14.5) 16 cm as shown in the schematic. At the same time, decrease for the V-neck along the left edge by 10.5 cm as shown in the schematic.

Finishing
Lightly dampen the pieces, stretch them to the measurements given in the schematic, and let dry completely. Sew the raglan seams. Work 1 round of slip stitches along the raglan seams with gray yarn.
Edge the neckline and front bands with gray yarn, working 3 cm in single crochet. In the 4th row, starting 3 cm from the neckline edge and then at 8 cm intervals, work a total of 5 buttonholes – skip 3 sts, work a chain, and in the next row work 3 sc over the chain.
Sew the sleeve and side seams. Lightly steam all seams when finished. Sew on the buttons.
