The model fits in the transverse direction from sleeve to sleeve. If knitted across, many patterns appear completely in a different light. Like on this amazing pullover, where “braids” of different widths and delicate stripes were woven together.

The description of knitting is designed for size: 38-42 (European sizes).

You will need: yarn (100% cotton; 120 m / 50 g) - 500 g orange; circular knitting needles No. 3 and 4.

Attention: due to the large number of loops, we recommend knitting on circular knitting needles in rows in the forward and reverse direction.

Patterns for knitting a female pullover
Pattern 1: elastic (an odd number of loops). Each row start and end edge.

Front rows: * 1 wrong side, 1 crossed front, from * constantly repeat, finish 1 wrong side.

Wrong rows: * 1 front, 1 wrong crossed, from * constantly repeat, finish 1 front.

Pattern 2: openwork pattern (5 loops) = knit acc. Scheme 1. On it are given the front rows. In the wrong rows, knit all loops and crochets on the wrong side. Continuously repeat the 1st to 4th rows.

Pattern 3: “braid” (for 10 loops) = knit acc. Scheme 2. On it are given the front rows. In the wrong rows, knit the loops according to the pattern. Continuously repeat 1-6 rows.

Pattern 4: “openwork braid” (for 28 loops) = knit according to scheme 3. It shows the front rows. In the wrong rows, knit the stitches according to the pattern, knit the crochets on the wrong side. Constantly repeat the 1st-16th rows.

Pattern 5: handkerchief = front and back rows - front loops.

The average density of knitting : 22.5 p. X 27.5 p. = 10 x 10 cm; lower bar at 6 p. = width 3 cm.

How to knit a female pullover - description and scheme of knitting

Note: knit the pullover across a single fabric, starting from the left sleeve. Arrow on the pattern = direction of knitting.

Description of work: on knitting needles No. 3, dial 105 loops and for the strap, starting from 1 wrong side, tie 1 cm = 4 rows with a pattern 1 and 1 wrong side of the wrong side, while in this wrong side, evenly distributed, add 37 st. = 142 P.

Continue work on knitting needles No. 4 as follows, edge, * 5 p. With pattern 2, 10 p. With pattern 3, from * repeat 8 more times, finish 5 p. With pattern 2, edge.

After 21 cm - 58 rows from the plank, dial 1 x 47 new stitches for the side edges of the front and back on both sides and knit as follows for 6 stitches with pattern 5 (= lower stitch), 9 stitches with pattern 3 for all 236 stitches start with the 2nd loop of the circuit, 5 p. with pattern 2, 28 p. with pattern 4, * 5 p. with pattern 2, 10 p. with pattern 3, from * repeat 8 more times, 5 p. with pattern 2, 28 p. with pattern 4, 5 p. Pattern 2, 9 p. Pattern 3, while ending with the penultimate loop of the circuit. 6 p. Pattern 5 (= lower bar).

After 35.5 cm = 98 rows from the plank, close the middle 8 points for the neck and both halves for 114 points, respectively, knit further separately according to the pattern, while the loops on the inner edges will become edge.

After 50 cm = 138 rows from the bar, the middle of the front and back is reached. After 64.5 cm = 178 rows from the bar for the neck end, reconnect both halves using an intermediate set of 8 loops and continue working on all 236 loops according to to the pattern.

After 79 cm - 218 rows from the plank, close 1 x 47 p. For the lateral edges of the front and back on both sides and continue working for the right sleeve for the remaining 142 p. to the pattern.

After 100 cm = 276 rows from the strap for the strap of the right sleeve on knitting needles No. 3, knit 1 cm = 1 front row of the front row and 4 rows of pattern 1, while in the 1st front row, evenly distributing, reduce 37 p = 105 p. Then close all the loops in the picture.

Assembly: for the strap, dial 120 stitches on the knitting needles No. 3 along the edge of the neck and knit 3 circular rows of faces. Then it is not too tight to close all the loops, like the front ones. Make side seams and sleeve seams.
