Important!
The density of your knitting must match the given one, so before you start working, be sure to knit a sample. To do this, cast on 35 stitches and knit 12 cm. Measure
10 cm wide. If on this segment you get less than 26 stitches, change the knitting needles to thinner ones.

If there is one number in the description, then it applies to all sizes

The sleeves, as well as the upper parts of the front and back, are knitted without gussets, in even rows.

Knitting density
26 p. x 36 r. = 10 x 10 cm, knitted in stockinette stitch using needles No. 3.

Knitting pattern

Lower backrest
On needles No. 3, cast on 81 (85) 89 sts with black thread and purl 1 row (= purl row).

Continue working, following the sequence of strips and wedges as described above. After 218 (242) 266 rows along the upper edge (shorter) there should be 12-18 r. less than the bottom one.

Close the loops.

Upper backrest
Along the short (upper) edge of the lower part of the back, cast on stitches on needles No. 3 with black thread, inserting knitting needles into every 2nd row = 109 (121) 133 sts. Knit stripes in the indicated sequence, with the 1st row. knit with black thread.

After 8 cm, make a mark in the middle of the row and close for the armholes on both sides at the beginning of each row, 3, 3, 2, 1, 1 (4, 3, 2, 2, 1, 1) 5, 3, 3, 2, 1, 1, 1 p. = 89 (95) 101 p.

At a height of 20 (21) 22 cm from the beginning of the armholes, close the middle 31 (33) 35 stitches for the pride and finish both sides separately.

To round the neckline from the inner edge, close at the beginning of the row 1 time 3 stitches and 1 time 2 stitches.

At the same time, for the shoulder bevel, close 8, 8 (9, 9) 9, 10 sts from the outer edge. Then bind off the remaining shoulder loops.

Finish the second side symmetrically.

Before
Knit like a back, but with a deeper neckline. To do this, at a height of 14 cm from the beginning of the armholes, close the middle 13 (15) 17 sts and finish both sides separately.

Close from the inner edge to round the neck in every 2nd r. 4, 3, 2, 2, 1, 1, 1 p. (for all sizes).

Perform shoulder bevels as on the back.

Sleeves
In order for the color stripes on the sleeves, front and back to match, the length of the sleeve to the armhole should be 41 (42) 43 cm!

On needles No. 3, cast on 63 (67) 71 sts with black thread and knit stripes in the indicated sequence (without wedges).

In 31 (35) 39th r. add 1 p for side bevels on each side (after and before the edge). Repeat these increases every 10th r. = 85 (89) 93 p.

In the same row as on the back (compare patterns) begin to form an okat: close on both sides at the beginning of each row 1 time for 3 sts and 1 time for 2 sts.

Next, for bevels, reduce on both sides 3 times in every 4th r. 1 p. each as follows: knit 1, knit 2 p. together with a slant to the left, knit a row to the last 3 p., knit 2 p. together, knit 1.

Then repeat these decreases every 2nd row until 37 (39) 41 stitches remain on the needles.

After this, close on both sides at the beginning of each row another 1 x 2 sts, 1 x 3 sts and 1 x 4 sts.

Cast off the remaining stitches in one row.

Assembly of product parts

Make shoulder and side seams. Make the seams of the sleeves and sew the sleeves into the armholes, matching the colored stripes.
