Pullover knitting patterns

Pattern 1. Stockinette stitch. front rows - front loops, purl rows - purl loops.

Pattern 2. Elastic A (the number of loops is a multiple of 4 + 2 + 2 edge loops).

Front rows: edge row, alternately knit 2, purl 2, finish with knit 2, edge rows.

Purl rows: purl all stitches.

Pattern 3. Elastic B (the number of loops is a multiple of 4). Alternately knit 2, purl 2.

Pattern 4. Openwork pattern (the number of loops is a multiple of 28 + 1). Knit according to the pattern. All rows are given on it. Constantly repeat the rapport of 28 sts between the arrows and end with a loop after the left arrow. Perform 1-14th rows once, then constantly repeat 3-14th rows.

Attention. When making increases and decreases, make sure that the number of yarn overs and loops knitted together matches.

Hollow cord strip (4 p.). Cast on 4 sts on a stocking needle, then * move the loops back to the right end of the knitting needle, pull the working thread and knit the loops. From * repeat continuously until the required length is achieved. Cut the working thread and pull it through all the loops.

Average knitting density: 24 p. x 22 r. = 10×10 cm.

Description of knitting a pullover

Back. Cast on 4 sts on stocking needles and make a bar from a hollow cord 52 cm long = 124 r. (56 cm = 136 rub.) 60 cm = 144 rub. Close the loops. Using knitting needles No. 5, cast on 124 (136) 144 sts along the edge of the bar from a hollow cord and for the bottom bar knit 6 cm with pattern 2, while in the last row of the bar add 1 p. (subtract 1 p.) add 1 p. = 125 (135) 145 sts. Then distribute the loops as follows: edge, 5 (10) 15 sts of pattern 1, 113 sts of pattern 4.5 (10) 15 sts of pattern 1, edge.

After 45 cm = 100 rub. from the bottom bar, close on both sides for shoulder bevels 1 x 5 (4) 4 p. and in every 2nd p. 7 x 4 p. (3 x 4 p. and 4 x 5 p.) 7 x 5 p.

After 50 cm = 110 rub. from the bottom bar, close the middle 47 (51) 55 stitches for the neckline and finish both sides separately. To round the neck along the inner edge, close in the next 2nd r. 1 x 6 p.

Before. Knit like a back, but for a deeper neckline after 37 cm = 82 r. from the bottom bar close the middle 25 (29) 33 sts and finish both sides separately. To round the neck along the inner edge, close every 2nd r. 1 x 5 p., 1 x 4 p., 1 x 3 p., 1 x 2 p.i. 3 x 1 p.

After 38 cm = 84 r. from the bottom bar, close along the outer edge for the shoulder bevel 1 x 5 (4) 4 p. and in every 2nd p. 7 x 4 p. (3 x 4 p. and 4 x 5 p.) 7 x 5 p.

Sleeves. Using knitting needles No. 5, cast on 52 (56) 60 sts for each sleeve and knit 5 cm with pattern 2, while in the last row of the bar evenly add 11 sts = 63 (67) 71 sts. Then distribute the loops as follows: edge, 2 (4) 6 stitches of pattern 1.57 stitches of pattern 4.2 (4) 6 stitches of pattern 1, edge. For bevels, add on both sides every 4th r. 20 x 1 p. and in every 2nd r. 4 x 1 p. = 111 (115) 119 p. On the added loops, knit with pattern 1.

After 41 cm = 90 rub. close all loops from the bar.

Assembly. Sew shoulder seams. For the neckline, use circular knitting needles to cast on 108 (116) 124 sts along the edge of the neckline and knit 4 cm with pattern 3. Then bind off all the loops according to. pattern. Below the closed edge, make 1 circle. R. conn. Art. Sew in the sleeves. Sew sleeve seams and side seams.
