Design: Novita / Lea Petäjä

Dimensions: 34/36 (38/40) 42/44 (46) 48/50 (52)
Product width according to chest circumference: 96 (104) 112 (120) 128 (136) cm
Product length: 62 (64) 66 (68) 70 (72) cm

You will need: Novita Nalle yarn (75% wool, 25% polyamide; 100 g/260 m) – 6 (7) 7 (8) 9 (9) skeins pink (color 519); knitting needles No. 3 and 3.5; 12 buttons.

Knitting density:
pearl pattern (rapport A in the diagram, knitting needles No. 3.5) – 25 sts x 34 r. = 10 x 10 cm;
pattern of “braids” (knitting needles No. 3.5) – 30 sts x 34 r. = 10 x 10 cm.

Elastic in rows in forward and reverse directions: * K2, P2, *, repeat from * to *, in the next row knit stitches according to the pattern.

Braid pattern and structural pattern: see diagram. The numbers on the right refer to the front rows, on the left - to the purl rows.
Scheme I:
Rapport A = 2 p.
Rapport B = 46 + 2 p.
Rapport C = 30 p.
Rapport D = 46 + 2 p.
Rapport E = 2 p.
Knit rapports as described in the instructions.

Scheme II:
Rapport A = 2 p.
Rapport B = 34 + 2 p.
Rapport C = 2 p.
Knit rapport as described in the instructions.
Rapports A, B, D and E: knit rows 1–14 once, then repeat rows 3–14.
Rapport C: repeat rows 1–8.

Purl stitch: in the front rows - purl loops, in the purl rows - front loops.

Facial surface: in the front rows - front loops, in the purl rows - purl loops.

Decrease 1 p. with a tilt to the left: slip 1 p., like a knit stitch, knit 1, then pull it through the slipped loop.

Decrease 2 p. with a tilt to the left: remove 1 stitch as a knit stitch, knit 2 stitches together, then pull it through the removed loop.

Short rows: knit according to the instructions until the direction “turn the work”.

Rotate the work. At the beginning of the row (after turning), lay the thread before work, insert the knitting needle on the right into the 1st stitch and remove the loop along with the thread. Then pull the thread back strongly, as a result the loop will be put on the knitting needle and you will get a double loop.

In the next row, knit both parts of the double loop together according to the pattern - knit or purl.

Note: the holes for the buttons are not knitted; the buttons are used to connect two strips together.

Description of work:

Back: on knitting needles No. 3, cast on 146 (154) 162 (170) 186 (194) sts and knit 4 cm with an elastic band, while in the 1st purl row start with purl 2.

Switch to needles No. 3.5 and in the front row knit according to the pattern with a structural pattern and a “braid” pattern according to pattern I:
rapport A repeat 6 (8) 10 (12) 16 (18) times = 12 (16) 20 (24) 32 (36) p.,
rapport B knit 1 time = 46 p. + 2 p.,
rapport C knit 1 time = 30 p.,
rapport D knit 1 time = 46 p. + 2 p. and
rapport E repeat 6 (8) 10 (12) 16 (18) times = 12 (16) 20 (24) 32 (36) p. = total 150 (158) 166 (174) 190 (198) p.

After 37 (38) 40 (41) 43 (44) cm for armholes on both sides in every 2nd r. close 1 x 5 (6) 8 (8)10 (10) p., 1 x 4 (5) 5 (5) 6 (6) p. and 1 x 3 (4) 4 (4) 4 (4) p. = 126 (128) 132 (140) 150 (158) p.

On the next row, begin performing raglan decreases as described below.

For sizes 34/36 (38/40) 42/44 (46) 48/50 (= face row):
1 purl, 1 decrease with a slant to the left, knit until the last 3 sts, knit 2 sts together, purl 1.

In the next row (= purl row), knit purl stitches, purl decrease stitches.

Repeat decreases every 2nd row. 29 (29) 33 (39) 49 times, then every 4th r. another 8 (9) 7 (5) 0 times, if decreases = 0, knit 1 knits instead.

For size 52 (= front row):
Purl 1, decrease 2 stitches with a slant to the left, knit until the last 4 stitches, knit 3 stitches together, purl 1.

In the next row (= purl row) purl with knit stitches, decrease with purl.

Repeat the decrease in the next 2nd row. 1 more time.

Next, knit raglan decreases as follows (= knit row): knit 1, knit 2 sts together with a tilt to the left, knit until the last 3 sts, knit 2 sts together, purl 1.

In the next row (= purl row), knit purl stitches, purl decrease stitches.

Repeat decreases every 2nd row. 49 times = 50 p.

Next, knit with an elastic band of 7 cm, while in the next front row, start with 2 knits. and evenly decrease 8 sts = 42 sts. Close all loops loosely.

Before: knit like a back, only with stripes along the edges of the raglan: after 4.5 (4) 4 (5) 5 (6) cm from the beginning of the armhole, cast on an additional 7 stitches on both sides and knit them with purl stitch.

Decrease in the same way as before = 64 sts.

For the collar, knit 8 stitches in purl stitch, knit 1, middle stitches knit in a braid pattern, knit 1, purl 8.

After 7 cm in the next front row, close off all the loops, knitting them purlwise.

Left sleeve: on knitting needles No. 3, cast on 58 (58) 62 (62) 66 (66) sts and knit 7 cm with an elastic band, with the 1st r. (= purl row) start with k2. (K2) P2 (P2) K2. (2 persons).

Switch to needles No. 3.5 and knit according to the pattern with a braid pattern and a structural pattern as follows:
rapport A repeat 6 (6) 7 (7) 8 (8) times = 12 (12) 14 (14) 16 (16) p.,
rapport 1 time = 34 + 2 p.,
rapport C repeat 6 (6) 7 (7) 8 (8) times = 12 (12) 14 (14) 16 (16) p.

Added 2 p. = total 60 (60) 64 (64) 68 (68) p.

After 12 (10) 9 (15) 15 (13) cm, add 1 stitch on both sides.

Repeat the increase every 2 (2) 2 (1.5) 1.5 (1.5) cm 17 (19) 20 (22) 23 (25) times = 96 (100) 106 (110) 116 (120) p. , and include the added loops in the pattern.

After 49 (50) 51 (51) 52 (52) cm in every 2nd r. close 1 x 5 (5) 6 (6) 7 (8) p., 1 x 4 (4) 4 (4) 5 (5) p. and 1 x 3 p. = 72 (76) 80 (84) 86 (88) p.

In the next front row, start raglan decreases: purl 1, knit 2 sts together with a slant to the left, knit until the last 3 sts, knit 2 sts together, purl 1.

In the next purl row, knit the purl stitches and purl the decreases.

Repeat decreases along the right edge every 4th row. 7 (11) 17 (21) 24 (25) times, then every 6th r. 10 (8) 4 (2) 0 (0) times.

Repeat decreases along the left edge every 4 (4) 2 (2) 2 (2nd) p. 14 (18) 2 (4) 6 (6) times, then each 6 (6) 4 (4) 4 (4th) p. 3 (1) 19 (19) 18 (19) times.

At the same time, after 4, 5 (4) 4 (5) 5 (6) cm for the placket with buttons on the left edge, cast on 7 stitches and start the next purl row with purl 2. and knit 5, knit stitches in the next row with purl stitch and the last 2 sts with knit stitch.

Decrease before 7 p. Knit the straps as before.

When all the raglan decreases are knitted along the left edge, continue to perform them along the right edge, while in the next front row, knit to the last 13 sts, turn the work, and from this point knit in shortened rows.

Thus, along the left edge it will be postponed in every 2nd r. 6 x 5 sts. After all the raglan decreases have been completed, in the faces. row knit as follows: knit 1, knit 2 along with a slant to the left, * purl 2, knit 2. *, repeat 7 times from * to *, 6 stitches in purl stitch and 2 stitches in stockinette stitch, while knitting double loops as one loop.

Next, knit 7 cm with an elastic band and bind off all the loops.

Right sleeve: knit in a mirror image to the left sleeve, the placket loops will be on the right.

Assembly: pin the pieces onto the pattern, moisten and let dry. Sew raglan seams between sleeves and back. The raglan seams on the front are done before the start of the button placket. On the front, turn the strips inward and sew them on.

Sew side seams and sleeve seams.

Place the sleeve strips with buttons under the front trims and connect them with buttons. Sew the top buttons at a distance of approx. 2 cm from the edge of the collar and sew the remaining buttons at an equal distance from each other.

Thread all the threads.
