Description of knitting
The jacket is knitted in one piece up to the armhole line.
On circular knitting needles No. 4.5, cast on according to the size you need: 251 / 269 / 305 / 323 loops and start knitting from the bottom bar, distributing the loops as follows: 8 stitches of the bar, 9 loops before repeat, 12 / 13 / 15 / 16 rapports, 10 sts after rapport, 8 sts of plank.
In purl rows, knit all stitches.
After 1 repeat of the pattern in height is knitted, the number of loops will be reduced and will be equal to: 199 / 213 / 241 / 255 loops.
To prevent the bar from being pulled together, in every 8th row, knit the bar twice. Having knitted to the end of the row, we knit 8 knits, turn the knitting, 8 knits, then knit a full row as usual.
Next, we continue knitting with a pattern with diamonds, distributing the loops as follows: 8 stitches of the strap, 7 stitches before the repeat, 12 / 13 / 15 / 16 repeats, 8 stitches after the repeat, 8 stitches of the strap.
As you knit, make three holes for buttons.
At a height of 54 / 55 / 56 / 56 cm from the starting row, on the inside of the knitting, along the edge of the placket, to widen the collar, add 1 loop on both sides. Continue adding stitches every 6th row 11/12/13/14 more times.
Simultaneously with the 1st increase, transfer all knitting to garter stitch, while evenly distributing the loops, decrease 19 / 17 / 25 / 29 loops, excluding the placket loops.

At a height of 60 / 62 / 64 / 65 cm from the starting row, to form the armhole line, bind off 3 loops on both sides of the markers. Next, knit each part separately.
