Pink pullover with a mix of patterns

Thanks to the delicate pink color and the combination of expressive “braids and honeycombs”, as well as cross-ribbing from the front and back of the satin stitch, an everyday wool pullover turns into an example of enchanting femininity

Sizes: 38/40 (44/46)
Russian sizes: 44/46 (50/52)

You will need: 600 (700) g light pink yarn (78% wool, 12% cashmere, 10% polyamide; 110 m/50 g); knitting needles No. 7.5 and 8; circular needles No. 7.

Knitting technique.
Purl stitch, knitting needles No. 7.5: front rows - purl loops, purl rows - front loops.

Facial surface, knitting needles No. 7.5: front rows - front loops, purl rows - purl loops.

Cross elastic, knitting needles No. 7.5: * 2 rows in purl stitch, 4 rows in stockinette stitch, from * constantly repeat.

Honeycomb pattern, knitting needles No. 8: the number of loops is a multiple of 4 + 2 edge stitches. Knit according to pattern 1, which shows the front rows. In purl rows, purl all stitches. Between the edges, constantly repeat the rapport and the 1st–4th rows.

Braid pattern, knitting needles No. 8: the number of loops is a multiple of 12 + 4 + 2 edge stitches. Knit according to pattern 2, which shows the front rows. In the purl rows, knit loops according to the pattern. Start with 1 edge stitch and 2 stockinette stitches, then constantly repeat the repeat, finishing with 2 stockinette stitches and edge stitches. Repeat rows 1–8 constantly.

Knitting density.
Cross elastic, knitting needles No. 7.5: 16 sts and 28 r. = 10 x 10 cm.
Honeycomb pattern, knitting needle No. 8: 18.5 sts and 21 r. = 10 x 10 cm.
Braid pattern, knitting needle No. 8: 18.5 sts and 23 r. = 10 x 10 cm.

DESCRIPTION OF WORK

Back: On knitting needles No. 7.5, cast on 81 (89) loops and knit 10 cm = 28 rows with a cross elastic band.

At the same time, add 4 x 1 stitches on both sides for side bevels in every 6th row from the starting row. According to the pattern = 89 (97) stitches.

To balance the pattern on the last purl row of the cross rib, evenly add 13 (17) stitches = 102 (114) stitches.

Attention: then constantly pay attention to the alternation of the thickness of the knitting needles.

Knit 9.5 cm = 20 rows with a honeycomb pattern, while in the last purl row, evenly decrease 13 (17) loops = 89 (97) loops.

Then knit 1.5 cm = 4 rows with a cross elastic band, while in the last purl row evenly add 13 (17) loops = 102 (114) loops.

Then knit 28 cm = 64 rows with a braid pattern, while in the last purl row evenly decrease 13 (17) loops = 89 (97) loops.

Then knit 4 cm = 2 rows with stockinette stitch and 10 rows with cross elastic, while in the last purl row evenly add 13 (17) loops = 102 (114) loops.

After this, finish the part with a honeycomb pattern.
After 12.5 cm = 26 rows from the last change of pattern, bind off all loops, with the average 32 (36)

loops form the neck, outer 35 (39) loops form the shoulders.

Before: knit like a back, but after 5 cm = 10 rows from the last change of pattern, close the middle 12 (16) loops for the neck and finish both sides separately.

To round along the inner edge, bind off 5 x 2 stitches in every 2nd row. At the height of the back, bind off the remaining 35 (39) shoulder loops.

Sleeve: On knitting needles No. 7.5, cast on 53 loops for each sleeve and knit 8 cm = 22 rows with a cross elastic band, while in the last purl row evenly add 9 loops = 62 loops.

Attention: then constantly pay attention to the alternation of the thickness of the knitting needles.

Then knit 9.5 cm = 20 rows with a honeycomb pattern, while in the last purl row evenly decrease 9 loops = 53 loops.

Then knit 1.5 cm = 4 rows with a cross elastic band, while in the last purl row evenly add 9 loops = 62 stitches.

Next, finish the sleeve with a pattern of “braids”, while constantly repeating the rapport between the edges.

At the same time, add on both sides for bevels in every 8th row from the last change of pattern 4 x 1 p. and in every 6th row 4 x 1 p. (in every 4th row 14 x 1 p.) according to the pattern = 78 (90) loops.

After 28 cm = 64 rows from the last pattern change, bind off all loops.

Assembly: sew shoulder seams.
For a twisted neckband, cast on 80 (88) stitches on circular needles along the edge of the neckline and knit 5 circular rows with knit stitches.

Then do not close all the loops too tightly, like knit stitches.

Sew in the sleeves, sew side seams and sleeve seams.
