Progress:

Back

Cast on 90 (96) 102 stitches on knitting needles and knit as follows: edge, 1 purl, 14 (15) 16 x 6 stitches each with the main pattern, 1 purl, edge.

After 45 (46) 47 cm = 98 (100) 102 r. from the initial row, close on both sides for armholes 2 (3) 4 p., then in every 2nd p. 1 x 2 p. and 3 (4) 6 x 1 p. = 76 (80) 84 p.

At armhole height 21 (22) 23 cm = 46 (48) 50 r. close for shoulder bevel in every 2nd r. 2 x 6 (7) 8 p.

Simultaneously with the first decrease for the shoulder bevel, close off the middle 32 stitches for the neckline, then knit both sides separately.

Along the inner edge for further rounding, close in every 2nd r. 3 x 1 p., then bind off the remaining 7 p.

Before

Cast on 90 (96) 102 stitches on knitting needles and knit as follows: edge, 1 purl, 14 (15) 16 x 6 stitches each with the main pattern, 1 purl, edge. Next, knit like the back, but with a deeper neckline.

To do this, at an armhole height of 17 cm = 38 r. bind off the middle 26 sts, then knit both sides separately.

Close along the inner edge for rounding in every 2nd r. 6 x 1 p.

Start performing the shoulder bevel at the same height as on the back.

Finish the other side in a mirror image.

Knitting density:

Approximately 20 p. x 27 r. = 10 x 10 cm, knitted with a relief pattern using knitting needles No. 4,5 and 5. To ensure that the knitting density corresponds to the specified one, fragments of the structural pattern are made according to the pattern on knitting needles of different thicknesses - No. 4,5 and 5.

If the instructions indicate only one number, then it applies to all sizes.

Progress:

Back

On knitting needles No. 4.5, cast on 108 (116) 124 (132) sts and knit with a relief pattern according to the pattern (1st row = purl row).

When the length of the part is 44 cm, begin to form armholes. To do this, fasten the mark in the middle of the back and close on both sides (at the beginning of each row) 3, 2, 1, 1, 1 p. = 92 (100) 108 (116) p.

At the same time, cast off 10, 11, 11 (12, 12, 12) 12, 13, 13 (14, 14, 14) stitches from the outer edge for the shoulder bevel at the beginning of each row.

Before

Knit like a back, but only with a deeper neckline.

When the last 11 cm remains to be knitted to the end of the part (check along the back - to the last closed loops of the shoulder bevel), close the middle 8 (8) 10 (10) sts and finish both sides separately.

Close from the inner edge to round the neck at the beginning of each row 3, 2, 2, 1, 1, 1 (3, 2, 2, 1, 1, 1) 3, 2, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1 ( 3, 2, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1) p.

When the length of the part is 10 cm, add 1 stitch on both sides (after/before the edge loop). Repeat these increases every 6th row, including added loops in the pattern, = on knitting needles 84 (88) 92 (96) sts.

When the length of the sleeve is approximately 48 (49) 50 (51) cm, close for the edging on both sides (at the beginning of each row): 2 times 2 sts, 2 times 3 sts, 2 times 4 sts and 2 5 times each. Then bind off the remaining loops.

Assembly

Sew the parts on the front side with mattress and knitted seams = mattress - longitudinal edges of the parts (= 1 p. x 1 p.), knitted seam - edges with closed loops.

Sew side seams and sleeve seams. Sew the sleeves, starting from the shoulder seam and the middle of the sleeve, sew down both sides, then sew the sleeve into the armhole at the bottom.

Stand collar

On circular knitting needles No. 4.5, cast on loops from the front side, starting from the right shoulder seam: 1 st from each closed loop along the edge of the back neck + 5 additional sts at the beginning and end (distribute the loops evenly); 1 st from each row down to the last 2 closed loops on the left side of the front; 1 p. from each closed loop; On the right side of the front, cast on the loops as on the left (the total number of loops should be a multiple of 4).

Knit in the round: 1 p. purl, 1 r. facial, 1 rub. purl and 1 r. facial

In order to knit a product of the desired size and shape, you need to focus on your knitting density and individual pattern. Description of knitting a men's sweater Cast on 62 stitches for the back and knit first 3 cm with a 2 x 1 elastic band, then with a lattice pattern. At a height of 40 cm from the bottom edge, make decreases for the armholes. To do this, close on each side first 3, then 1 time 2 times, and 1 time the 1st loop in every 2nd row (50 p.). Continue working straight, at a height of 18 cm from the armholes, begin to form a shoulder bevel (closing 2 times 5 sts and 1 time 6 sts in each 2nd row), and then, after 2 rows, the neckline, first closing the middle 12 p., then on each side 1 time for 2 p. and 1 time for the 1st p. in every 2nd row. Knit the front in the same way, but with a deeper neckline. To do this, at a height of 16 cm from the beginning of the armholes, begin to form a neckline: first close the middle 6 sts, then on each side 1 time 3 sts, 1 time 2 sts and 1 time 1st st in each 2- m row. Next, knit the sleeves. Cast on 29 stitches on the needles and first work 6 cm with a 2 x 1 elastic band, continue with a lattice pattern. For side bevels, increase by 1 stitch from each edge in the 16th and 28th rows. After 32 rows from the elastic, go to the stripe pattern, alternating 2 rows of purl stitch and 2 rows of stockinette stitch. Make the next increase in the 4th strip of the pattern, then in the 8th and 16th. After the 4th strip, start knitting the “relief braid” pattern. At a height of 52 cm from the bottom edge, make decreases for the armholes. Why close on each side first 3, then 1 time in 2, and 1 time in the 1st loop in each 2nd row, then 1 time in the 1st stitch. in the 4th row. Next, 2 times 2 stitches, and 1 time 3 stitches in every 2nd row. On the remaining 16 loops, tie a shoulder strap with a length equal to the length of the shoulder bevel, distributing the pattern as follows: 3 purl stitches, then 10 stitches of a relief braid, 3 purl stitches. In the last row of the lattice for a relief braid, cast on not 10, but 5 loops, knit a row, bind off the loops. Next, “braid” a braid from the horizontal strips of the lattice (photo 4), do this in the same way as lifting a dropped loop along the front side of the fabric. Twist the 1st strip, making a loop out of it and pull the next strip through it (photo 5), then, similarly, all the others (photo 6). Secure the last loop with stitches using a needle. In the same way, sew up the hole that formed at the beginning of the “relief braid”. Connect the pieces at the side and shoulder seams. Design the neckline like this: lay a chain stitch along the contour of the neckline, pick up loops from the top braid, purl 2 rows, knit 2 rows, purl 2 rows, bind off the loops.
