_________________________________________________________________
Back piece:
Cast on 58-64-70-77-84 sts on 2 needles size 7 mm with Vivaldi (this will make the casting on edge elastic). Pull out one needle and knit in garter sts – see explanation above. When the piece measures 10 cm dec. 1 st each side on every 9-9-10-11-12 cm a total of 3 times = 52-58-64-71-78 sts. When the piece measures 37-38-39-40-41 cm – read measurement tips, inc. 1 st each side on every 4-4-3-3-3 cm a total of 3-3-4-4-4 times = 58-64-72-79-86 sts. When the piece measures 49-50-51-52-53 cm cast off for armholes each side on every other row: 2 sts 2-3-4-5-6 times and 1 st 2-2-3-4-5 times = 46-48-50-51-52 sts. When the piece measures 66-68-70-72-74 cm cast off the mid 28-30-32-333-34 sts for the neck. Continue to cast off 1 st each side towards the neck = 8 sts left for the shoulder. Cast off when the piece measures 68-70-72-74-76 cm.
Front piece:
Cast on as done for the back piece, inc and dec at the sides as done for the back piece. At the same time when the piece measures 34-35-36-37-38 cm cast off the mid 26-26-26-27-28 sts, Knit each part separately (the same but mirrored) and cast off for the armholes as done for the back piece. When the piece measures 60-62-64-66-68 cm cast off 1 st for the neckline on every other row: 2-3-4-4-4 times = 8 sts left for each shoulder. Cast off when the piece measures 68-70-72-74-76 cm.
Sleeve:
Cast on 13-14-14-15-15 sts on 2 needles size 7 mm with Vivaldi. Pull 1 needle out and knit 11 cm of garter sts. Put the work aside. Repeat (= slit). Cast on 7 new sts over the slit and put the 13-14-14-15-15 sts back onto the same needle = 33-35-35-37-37 sts. When the piece measures 12 cm inc. 1 st each side on every 10.5-10.5-10-7-7 cm a total off 4-4-4-5-5 times = 41-43-43-47-47 sts – read measurement tips. When the piece measures 47-46-45-44-44 cm cast off loosely for the sleeve cap each side on every other row: 3 sts 1 time and 2 sts 2-2-3-3-3 times. Continue to cast off on every 4th row: 1 st each side until the piece measures 56-56-56-56-57 cm, then cast off 2 sts 1 time each side. Cast off remaining sts when the piece measures approx. 57-57-57-57-58 cm.
Assembly:
Sew the shoulder seams. Sew in the sleeves – make sure the seam in not too tight. Sew the sleeve and the side seams in the most outer part of the most outer st – sew with stitches the size of the sts to make the seam invisible. Make sure the seam is not too tight.
Crochet yoke:
Begin to crochet at the bottom of 1 corner in the opening of the front piece. Crochet with 1 thread of each quality 53-61 dc (divisible with 4+5) up along one side, continue to crochet 80 dc (divisible with 4) around the neck and then 53-61 dc (divisible with 4+5) down along the other side. Turn the work. Crochet M.3 over the first 5 dc along one side of the yoke, continue to crochet M.2 until 4 dc left before the neck begins and crochet M.1 over the last 4 dc. Turn and continue the diagram from the 3rd. row. The finished measurement after the 11th row is approx. 10 cm. Repeat row 2-11 at the other side. Sew the crochet edge to the bottom of the opening with small stitches.
Crochet edge:
Crochet around the bottom edge of the back and front piece, around the sleeves and the slit as follows: 1st round: 1 dc in the first st, *1 ch, skip 1 st, 1 dc in the next st*, repeat from *-* and finish with a sl st in the first dc on round.
2nd. round: *4 ch, skip 3 sts, 1 dc in the next st*, repeat from *-* and finish with 4 ch and a sl st in the first ch from beginning of round
3rd round: 1 ch, *1 dc, 3 tr, 1 dc*, repeat from *-* in each ch loop and finish with a sl st in the first ch from beginning of round. Cut and sew tight. Now crochet an edge around the neck and at the top of the front edges as follows: 1st round: 1 dc at the top of the corner of one of the front edges, *4 ch, skip approx 2 cm, 1 dc in the next st* , repeat from *-* around the neck and over the front edge at the other side (make sure to finish with 1 dc at the top of the other corner). Turn.
2nd round: 1 ch *1 dc, 3 tr, 1 dc*, repeat from *-* in each ch loop. Cut and sew tight.
Crochet button covers:
Crochet 8 button covers using hook size 3 mm with 1 thread of Cotton Viscose as follows: Crochet 2 ch, crochet 16 tr in the first of the 2 ch and finish with a sl st in the top of the first tr (=1st round).
2nd round: Crochet 1 dc in each tr and finish with a sl st in the first dc on round.
3rd round: Crochet first 3 ch and then 1 tr in every other dc and finish with a sl st in the 3rd ch from beginning of round = 8 tr.
Put the button into the cover and sew around the edge and pull tight tog.
Sew 4 buttons onto the left side of the yoke and the mid front. The top button should be placed approx. 1 cm from the top edge and the other 3 buttons should be placed with a space of 8-9 cm in between. The holes at the crochet edge at the other side are used for button holes. Sew 2 buttons on the slit on each sleeve. 1 approx 5 cm from the bottom
edge and the other one with a space of 5 cm in between.
