Completing of the work

Using gray-green thread, cast on 5 x 25 stitches on knitting needles, thread color. Ecru cast on 5 x 25 stitches on knitting needles and knit 5 stripes A and B, first for 15 rows separately in a braid pattern.

In the 16th row, connect all the stripes by crossing into 1 circular row, while constantly repeating the rapport = 250 sts.

Attention!

At the beginning of the circular row, without knitting, remove the first 6 loops as purl stitches and include them at the end of the circular row in the last crossing of the circular row.

Then again knit all 10 strips separately according to. thread color.

In the 43rd row of the pattern, knit 1 circular row again, as in the 16th row of the pattern.

After 37 cm = 96 rows from the initial row, divide the work and first continue knitting the back on the first 125 stitches.

At the same time, for the whole knit sleeves, cast on 1 x 39 new stitches on both sides (= according to the color of the rapport thread, 1 strip for 25 stitches and 1 outer strip for 14 stitches; at the beginning of the row of sleeves there are 8 loops in garter stitch and 6 loops in stockinette stitch for crossing, in at the end of the row the loops are arranged in a mirror image) = 203 p.

After 57.5 cm = 149 rows from the initial row, bind off all the loops according to the pattern, leaving the last 6 loops of the strip on the auxiliary knitting needle behind the first 6 loops of the next strip, then knit 1 loop each from the left knitting needle and from the auxiliary knitting needle together. close.
