Patterns

Pattern 1: garter stitch = forward and reverse rows: knit and purl rows - knit stitches. Circular rows: alternately 1 circular row with knits. Purl 1 round row.

Pattern 2: openwork pattern of “braids” (the number of loops is a multiple of 27 + 0 (17) + 2 edge stitches) = knit according to. diagram 1. It shows only the front rows. In the purl rows, knit loops according to the pattern or acc. instructions, knit yarn overs purlwise. For size 1, start with 1 edge, repeat the rapport constantly, finish with 1 edge. For size 2, start with 1 edge and loops from arrow A (at the same time, in the 25th, 27.31 and 33rd rows of the pattern, knit the loops highlighted in gray and do not cross), then repeat the rapport constantly, finish with loops to arrow B (in this case, the loops highlighted in gray are also knitted with knit stitches), edge stitch. Perform rows 1-38 once, then repeat rows 3-38 constantly.

Pattern 3: openwork elastic band (the number of loops is a multiple of 13 + 8 + 2 edge stitches) = knit according to. diagram 2. It shows the facial rows. In the purl rows, knit loops according to the pattern or acc. instructions, knit yarn overs purlwise. Start with 1 edge stitch and loops before the repeat, repeat the repeat all the time, finish with loops after the repeat and 1 edge stitch. Perform rows 1-6 once, then constantly repeat rows 3-6.

Knitting density: pattern 2 - 19.5 p x 26.5 r. = 10 x 10 cm; pattern 3 - 18 p. x 26.5 rub. = 10×10 cm.

Description of knitting

Back: On knitting needles No. 5, cast on 110 (127) stitches and for the placket, knit 3 cm = 11 rows with pattern 1, starting with 1 purl row with knit stitches. Continue working on knitting needles No. 5.5 with pattern 2. After 49 cm = 130 rows (53 cm = 140 rows) from the bar, close off 1 x 4 sts for the shoulder bevel on both sides, then in every 2nd row close off 7 x 4 p. (3 x 4 p. and 4 x 5 p.). At the same time, after 53 cm = 140 rows (57 cm = 150 rows) from the bar, close off the middle 28 (35) stitches for the neckline and finish both sides separately. To round the inner edge, close off 1 x 3 stitches and 1 x 2 stitches in every 2nd row. Close the remaining 4 (5) shoulder stitches after 55 cm = 146 rows (59 cm = 156 rows) from the bar.

Before: knit like a back, but for a deeper neck already after 46.5 cm = 124 rows (50.5 cm = 134 rows) from the bar close the middle 20 (27) stitches and for rounding along the inner edge close in every 2nd row 3 x 2 p. and 3 x 1 p.

Sleeves: on knitting needles No. 5, cast on 52 loops for each sleeve and knit the bar as for the back, while in the last purl row, evenly distributing, add 10 sts = 62 sts. Continue working on knitting needles No. 5.5 with pattern 3. At the same time, add for bevel sleeves on both sides in every 10th row from the bar 9 x 1 p. (in every 6th row 14 x 1 p.) acc. pattern = 80 (90) p. For a low sleeve hem, after 37.5 cm = 100 rows from the placket, close 1 x 4 p. on both sides, then in every 2nd row close 8 x 4 p. (“1 x 4 p. and 1 x 5 p... from ' repeat 3 more times). Close the remaining 8 (10) stitches after 44.5 cm = 118 rows from the bar

Assembly: sew shoulder seams. For the strap, cast on 82 (94) loops on circular needles along the edge of the neckline and knit 1 circular row with purl and 2.5 cm = 8 circular rows with pattern 1. Then bind off all the loops as knit stitches. Sew in the sleeves, sew side seams and sleeve seams.
