Front/Back: 
knit in flat rows on circular needles. 

Cast on 159-173-187-203-223-245 stitches (including 5 stitches for the front placket on both sides) on circular needles 4.5 mm and knit 1 purl row in purl stitches, then continue with the Seed stitch pattern + 5 stitches for the front placket on both sides in garter stitch. 

The front plackets are always knitted in garter stitch. 

At a height of 6 cm, continue in stockinette stitch, knitting the front placket stitches as before. 

Place 2 markers in the piece, at 42-45-49-53-58-63 stitches on both sides (back = 75-83-89-97-107-119 stitches). 

Don’t forget to make buttonholes on the right front placket. 

At a height of 10 cm, decrease 1 stitch on both sides of each marker (= 4 stitches decreased per row) and repeat the decreases every 9-9.5-10-10.5-11-11.5 cm for another 2 times = 147-161-175-191-211-233 stitches left. 

Decrease by knitting 2 stitches together knitwise. 

Continue until the height of the piece is 33-34-35-36-37-38 cm.

Now close for the underarm stitches 8 stitches on both sides (= 4 stitches on both sides from the marker) = 131-145-159-175-195-217 stitches remain on the needle. 

Set the piece aside and knit the sleeves.



Sleeve: 
knit in the round on double-pointed needles. 
Cast on 49-51-51-55-57-59 stitches on 4.5 mm needles. 

Knit 6 rounds in garter stitch. 

Place a marker at the beginning of the round (= bottom of the sleeve). 

At a height of 10 cm, add 1 stitch from the yarn-over on both sides of the marker and repeat the increase every 9-4.5-2-1.5-1.5-1 cm for a total of 2-3-5-6-7-8 times = 53-57-61-67-71-75 stitches. 

At a height of 23-23-22-22-21-21 cm, close 4 stitches on both sides of the marker for the underarm = 45-49-53-59-63-67 stitches. 

Set the piece aside and knit the second sleeve.

Yoke.
Transfer the sleeve stitches to the same circular needles 4.5 mm as the front/back = 221 -243-265-293-321-351 stitches. 

Knit 1 knit row - all knit (with the front placket stitches remaining as before), simultaneously decrease evenly 11 -13-15-311 -21 stitches = 210-230-250-290-310-330 stitches. 

Knit 1 purl row - again all knit and now continue according to chart M.1 (see Chart for your size) +5 stitches in garter stitch on both sides. 

After 1 vertical repeat of chart M.1 = 100-109-118-122-130-138 stitches on the needles. 

Knit 1 knit row - all knit, simultaneously decrease 8-17-20-24-24-32 stitches evenly = 92-92-98-98-106-106 stitches. 

Knit 5 rows - all knit on all stitches and bind off loosely.
