Dimensions: 36/38 (40/42) 44/46

 You will need: yarn (100% wool; 125 m/50 g) – 400 (450) 500 g orange; circular knitting needles No. 4,5 and 5; 1 set of double needles No. 4.5.

Pattern 1: rib = circular rows (even number of loops): alternately 1 knit, 1 purl.

Pattern 2: stockinette stitch = circular rows: knit stitches only.

Pattern 3: pattern of “braids” (the number of loops is a multiple of 12 + 7) = knit according to. scheme.

 It shows only the facial rows; In purl rows, knit loops according to the pattern. Constantly repeat the rapport of 12 sts between the arrows and end with loops after the left arrow. Constantly repeat 1-8th r.

Knitting density: pattern 2 – 18.5 p. x 28.5 r. = 10 x 10 cm; pattern 3 – 28 p. x 28.5 r. = 10 x 10 cm.

Attention: knit the pullover to the end of the yoke from top to bottom in a single fabric in circular rows.

Back and front: On circular needles No. 4.5, cast on 108 sts and close into a ring.

 For the neckline, knit 2.5 cm with pattern 1, while in the last circular row evenly add 20 sts = 128 sts.

 Continue working on circular needles No. 5 and distribute the stitches as follows: 35 back sts, 3 raglan stitches, 23 right sleeve stitches, 3 raglan stitches, 35 front sts, 3 raglan stitches, 23 left sleeve stitches, 3 raglan stitches .

Attach 1 marker on both sides of the raglan loops.

Starting from the 3rd circle. R. from the binding, knit on the middle 31 sts of the back and front and on the middle 19 sts of the sleeves with pattern 3, respectively.

 At the same time for raglan bevels in the 3rd circle. R. from the binding before and after the raglan stitches, knit 1 knit stitch crossed from a transverse thread = 136 sts.

These increases on the front and back are similarly performed another 20 (25) 30 times in every 2nd row. and 3 (2) 1 time in every 4th r. and on the sleeves 9 (14) 19 times in every 2nd circle. R. and 8 (7) 6 times in every 4th circle. R. = 296 (328) 360 p. or 83 (91) 99 p. front and back and 59 (67) 75 p. sleeves and 4 x 3 raglan loops.

 After 19 cm = 54 circle. R. (21 cm = 60 circles.) 23 cm = 66 circles. R. from the binding, divide the work: for the front and back, knit 3 raglan loops + 83 (91) 99 p. + 3 raglan loops = 89 (97) 105 p. and for the sleeves, 59 (67) 75 p.

Set aside the sleeve loops and continue working only on 178 (194) 210 stitches of the back and front in circular rows according to. distribution of loops.

After 55.5 cm = 158 circle. R. (57.5 cm = 164 circles.) 59.5 cm = 170 circles. R. From the binding, knit another 4 cm for the bottom strap on circular needles No. 4.5 with pattern 1, then bind off all the loops according to the pattern.

 Continue working on the loops of one sleeve.

First, cast on 3 new loops at the beginning and end of the circular row = 65 (73) 81 sts. Mark the beginning of the circular row.

 For sleeve bevels, decrease every 12th circle. R. 4 x 2 p. and in every 14th circle. R. 4 x 2 p. (in every 8th round. r. 3 x 2 p. and in every 10th r. 9 x 2 p.) in every 6th round. R. 3 x 2 p. and in each 8 m circle. R. 13 x 2 p., for this, at the beginning of the circular row, knit the 2nd and 3rd p. together with the front one and at the end of the circular row, knit the 2nd and 3rd p. from the end together with a slant to the left (= 1 p. slip knit 1 like a knit stitch, then pull it through the slipped stitch) = 49 sts.

 After 60.5 cm = 172 circle. R. (64.5 cm = 184 circles.) 68.5 cm = 196 circles. R. from the binding, knit another 4 cm on stocking needles No. 4.5 for the bottom strap with pattern 1, while in the 1st circle. R. decrease 1 p. = 48 p. Close the loops according to the drawing.

Assembly: sew the bottom seams of the sleeves.
