Beautiful summer openwork pullover

Shimmering golden-hued viscose and silk yarn, a flawless openwork diamond pattern and a relaxed rectangular silhouette with slightly flared sleeves create a sunny summer mood! 

Dimensions pullover: 34-36 (42-44).

You will need: 300 (350) grams of curry-colored yarn, consisting of 90% viscose, 10% silk; thread length 140 meters in 50 grams; knitting needles No. 3; circular needles No. 3.

Pattern 1: garter stitch = knit and purl rows – knit stitches. Circular rows: alternately 1 circular row with knits, 1 circular row with purls.

Pattern 2: openwork pattern A (the number of loops is a multiple of 20 + 1+2 edge stitches) = knit according to pattern 1. It shows the front rows. In purl rows, purl all loops and yarn overs. Start with 1 edge stitch and loops before the repeat, repeat the repeat all the time, finish with loops after the repeat and 1 edge stitch. Complete rows 1-54 once.

Pattern 3: openwork pattern B (number of loops is a multiple of 10 + 1 +2 edge stitches) = knit like pattern 2, but according to pattern 2. Work rows 1-16 twice (= 32 rows), then work 1 time 33- 48th rows, then constantly repeat rows 41-48.

Pattern 4: knit stitch = knit rows – knit stitches, purl rows – purl loops.

Pullover knitting density: pattern 1 – 3 rows = 0.5 cm; pattern 2 – 22 loops for 36 rows = 10 by 10 cm; pattern 3 – 22 loops per 35 rows = 10 x 10 cm; pattern 4 – 23 loops for 34 rows = 10 by 10 cm.

Description of knitting

Back
Cast on 103 (123) stitches on the knitting needles and for the placket, knit 0.5 cm = 3 rows with pattern 1, starting with 1 purl row. Continue working with pattern 2.

After 15 cm = 54 rows from the bar, continue working with pattern 3. After 9 cm = 32 rows from changing the pattern, close off 5 loops for the armholes on both sides once, decreases are shown in diagram 2 = 93 (113) loops.

Then, after 23 cm = 80 rows (25 cm = 88 rows) from changing the pattern, close all the loops, with the middle 49 (53) loops forming the neck, the outer 22 (30) loops forming the shoulders.

Front end
Knit like a back, but with a neckline. To do this, after 21 cm = 72 rows (23 cm = 80 rows) from changing the pattern, close off the middle 25 (29) loops and finish both sides separately. To round the inner edge, cast off 4 stitches 3 times in every 2nd row.

Sleeves
Cast on 83 stitches for each sleeve and for the placket, knit 0.5 cm = 3 rows with pattern 1, starting with 1 purl row.

Continue working with pattern 2. In the 53rd row from the bar, decrease a total of 8 loops; for this, do not perform the yarn overs highlighted in gray = 75 loops. And after 15 cm = 54 rows from the bar, continue working with pattern 4.


At the same time, decrease the bevel of the sleeves on both sides in every 8th row from changing the pattern 5 times 1 loop (in the next 40th row 1 time 1 loop) = 65 (73) loops.

Attention: the reduction in width due to changing the pattern on the pattern is taken into account in the size of the sleeve bevel. Then, after 17 cm = 58 rows from changing the pattern, loosely close all the loops.

Assembly
Sew shoulder seams. For the placket, cast on 82 (90) stitches on circular needles along the edge of the neckline and knit 5 circular rows with pattern 1, while starting with 1 circular row with purl stitches.

Then bind off all stitches like knit stitches. Sew in the sleeves, sew side seams and sleeve seams.
