Necessary  yarn :

John Arbon Knit by Numbers (100% merino wool; 400/100 grams in a skein) - 4 (4, 5, 6, 6) skeins.

Tools required:

Knitting needles No. 3 and No. 3.75, circular knitting needles No. 2.5, double-edged knitting needles No. 2.5, loop markers, buttonhole holders.

Knitting density:

29 loops and 36 rows = 10 cm of the main pattern, made by knitting needles No. 3,

30 loops and 34 rows = 10 cm of elastic made with knitting needles No. 3,

25 loops and 30 rows = 10 cm of front surface, made with knitting needles No. 3.75.

  Remarks:

When forming an armhole, perform loop reduction as follows:

Front side: knit to the first column of 3 crossed loops, knit 3 loop of the column, knit 2 loops together from the wrong side, knit up to 2 loops before the last column of 3 crossed loops, 2 loops knit together from the wrong side, 3 loop of the column knit to the end of the row.

Wrong side: knit to the first column of 3 crossed loops (which are visible on the front side), knit 3 loops of the column, knit 2 loops together front, knit up to 2 loops before the last column of 3 crossed loops, 2 loops knit together the front, 3 loops of the column, knit to the end of the row.

Remove markers where necessary.

Continue to knit the main pattern, knitting some loops that do not fit into the main pattern, with the front or back loop, as set in the previous row.

                   PATTERN

Back:

With knitting needles No. 3, dial 129 (137, 151, 167, 181) loops.

1st row (front): 1 wrong loop, * 1 front loop, 1 wrong loop; repeat from * to the end of the row.

2nd row (wrong side): 1 front loop, * 1 wrong loop, 1 front loop; repeat from * to the end of the row.

Repeat the last 2 rows 13 more times.

Next row (front): 1 (1, 2, 2, 3) wrong loop, add 1 wrong loop from broach, [1 front loop behind the back wall, 1 wrong loop] - 8 (10, 8, 12, 10) times , [15 front loops, 1 wrong loop, 1 front loop behind the back wall, 1 wrong loop, 1 front loop behind the back wall, 1 wrong loop] - 5 (5, 6, 6, 7) times, [1 front loop for back wall, 1 wrong loop] - 5 (7, 5, 9, 7) times, 1 front loop behind the back wall, add 1 wrong loop from the broach, 1 (1, 2, 2, 3) wrong loop - on the knitting needles 131 (139, 153, 169, 183) loop.

Next row (wrong side): 2 (2, 3, 3, 4) front loops, [1 wrong side loop behind the back wall, 1 front loop] - 6 (8, 6, 10, 8) times, place a marker, * [1 back loop behind the back wall, 1 front loop] - 2 times, 15 back loops, 1 front loop; repeat from * another 4 (4, 5, 5, 6) times, 1 wrong loop behind the back wall, 1 front loop, 1 wrong loop behind the back wall, place a marker, [1 front loop, 1 wrong loop behind the back wall] - 6 (8, 6, 10, 8) times, 2 (2, 3, 3, 4) front loops.

Start knitting pattern:

1st row (front): 2 (2, 3, 3, 4) wrong loops, 1st row of elastic according to the pattern of drawing A to the marker, marker, 1st row of the main drawing to the marker, marker, 1st row gum according to the scheme of Figure B to the last 2 (2, 3, 3, 4) loops, 2 (2, 3, 3, 4) wrong loops.

                         SCHEME

2nd row (wrong): 2 (2, 3, 3, 4) front loops, knit pattern B to the marker, marker, knit the main pattern to the marker, marker, knit pattern A to the last 2 (2, 3, 3, 4) loops, 2 (2, 3, 3, 4) front loops.

Continue to knit in the prescribed manner until 6 full rapports of the main pattern are connected, then 1 to 1 rows are connected.
