Size:

Chest circumference – 157 cm,

Length – 78.5 cm.

Necessary materials:

Cascade Yarns Longwood yarn (100% wool; 175 m / 100 grams per skein) – 11 skeins.

Required tools:

Circular needles No. 5, length 60 cm and 90 cm, additional circular needles No. 5.

Density:

24 stitches and 26 rows = 10 cm of textured pattern.

Notes:

First the central back panel is knitted. Then loops are cast along the long side of this panel for the right side and along the opposite side for the left side.

For the fourth back segment, stitches are cast on along the bottom edge of the left/center back/right panel gather as shown in the pattern.

The lower parts of the sides are sewn together to form armholes.

Finally, the bottom edge is tied with an elastic band.

Center back panel (1):

Cast on 16 stitches on the needles. Tie 40.5 cm according to the central pattern with strands. Close the loops.

Right side (2):

On the right side, cast on and knit 106 stitches along the side of the center panel 1.

Row 1 (purl): 4 knit stitches (slanted edge version 1), 50 lace pattern stitches, 32 texture stitches, 20 first texture stitches.

Continue knitting in the established order until 200 rows of the pattern with cords and openwork have been completed, ending with the 8th row of this pattern. At this stage there are 110 stitches on the needles (8 slanted edge stitches) and the length of this segment is 77.5 cm from the cast-on line.

Move the stitches onto a spare needle.
