Men's jumper "Bergen Peak"

The men's pullover combines two knitting techniques: ropes and jacquard pattern. 

Translation of the description of a very beautiful men's pullover trimmed with jacquard patterns and a relief pattern on the yoke.

The pullover is made in circular rows, starting from the bottom edge.

At the armhole level, the sleeves are attached, and then a round yoke is made.

Start knitting

Tubular hinge set:

Using MS thread, cast on 90 (102, 111, 120, 129) stitches on circular needles No. 4, 80 cm long, using a preliminary cast-on. Do not join stitches in a circle. Knit 1 row with purl stitches, 1 row with knit stitches and 1 purl stitches. Weave an auxiliary thread from the preliminary set of loops. Place the opened 90 (102, 111, 120, 129) stitches on other circular needles. Place cast-on stitches behind working needle with wrong sides facing each other.

Next row (knit): *1 knit stitch from front needle, 1 purl stitch from back needle; repeat from * to the end of the row - 180 (204, 222, 240, 258) loops on the needles. Place a marker and join the stitches in a circular row. Knit with a 1x1 rib stitch (1 knit stitch, 1 purl stitch) until the knitting height reaches 5 cm from the cast-on row. Change knitting needles to number 4.5.

Work in stockinette stitch until the stitch height reaches 25 (25, 25, 26, 27.5) cm from the cast-on row. Knit rows 1-35 of pattern A. Cut off threads CC1 and CC2, and then knit only with MC thread. Work in stockinette stitch until the stitch height reaches 40.5 (40.5, 40.5, 42, 43) cm from the cast-on row.

Division into front and back:

Next round: knit 95 (107, 117, 126, 136) and move last 10 (10, 12, 12, 14) sts onto right armpit stitch holder, knit to last 5 (5, 6, 6, 7) stitches, move the next 10 (10, 12, 12, 14) stitches to the stitch holder for the left armpit, removing the marker - there are 80 (92, 99, 108, 115) stitches left on the needles for the front and back. Cut the thread and set the knitting aside.

Sleeves

Tubular cast-on: Using MS yarn, cast on 26 (26, 27, 28, 29) stitches on size 4 circular needles, 80 cm long, using the pre-cast on stitches. Do not join the loops in a circle. Knit 1 row with purl stitches, 1 row with knit stitches and 1 purl stitches. Weave an auxiliary thread from the preliminary set of loops.

Place the opened 26 (26, 27, 28, 29) stitches on other circular needles. Place cast-on stitches behind working needle with wrong sides facing each other.

Switch to knitting with double-pointed needles No. 4. Next row (front): * 1 knit stitch from the front knitting needle, 1 purl loop from the back knitting needle; repeat from * to the end of the row - 52 (52, 54, 56, 58) loops on the needles. Place a marker and join the stitches in a circular row.

Knit with a 1x1 rib stitch (1 knit stitch, 1 purl stitch) until the knitting height reaches 5 cm from the cast-on row. Change knitting needles to number 4.5. Knit 1 round row with knit stitches.

Circular row of additions: 1 knit loop, add 1 loop slanted to the left from the broach, knit loops to the last loop, add 1 loop slanted to the right from the broach, 1 knit loop - 2 loops added. Repeat these additions in every 7 (5, 5, 5, 4) row 9 (12, 9, 5, 13) more times, then in every 0 (0, 4, 4, 3) row 0 (0 , 5, 11, 5) times - 72 (78, 84, 90, 96) loops on the needles.

Knit further straight until the knitting height reaches 29 (30.5, 30.5, 32, 32) cm from the cast-on row. Knit rows 1-35 of figure A. Cut off threads CC1 and CC2, and then knit only with MC thread.

Work in stockinette stitch until the stitch height reaches 45.5 (47, 47, 48.5, 48.5) cm from the cast-on row, ending 5 (5, 6, 6, 7) stitches short of the end of the row. Move the first and last 5 (5, 6, 6, 7) stitches of the row onto the stitch holder - there are 62 (68, 72, 78, 82) stitches left on the needles.

Cut the thread, leaving an end 40 cm long. Move the stitches to a separate stitch holder.

 Tubular hinge closure:

Hold two needles No. 4 parallel, do the following: * slip 1 loop on the front knitting needle, slip 1 loop on the back knitting needle; repeat from * to the end of the row.

Cut the thread, leaving a 2 m end for closing the loops with a knitted seam. Thread the end of the thread into a tapestry needle and close the loops from two knitting needles with a knitted stitch.

Connect the armpit loops with a knitted seam. Thread the ends of the threads.
