Materials: DROPS KARISMA from Garnstudio 700-750-850-950-1000-1100 grams, color No. 72, pearl gray; stocking and circular knitting needles (60 or 80 cm) No. 4mm; stocking and circular needles (60 and 80 cm) No. 3.5 mm - for elastic.

Knitting gauge: 21 stitches x 28 rows in stockinette stitch = 10 x 10 cm.

Pattern: see diagrams A.1-A.6.

Advice for making increments:
Knit until there is 1 stitch left in front of the marker, 1 yarn over, knit the next 2 loops (the marker will be between them), 1 yarn over. In the next row, knit yarn overs with crossed loops. Include the added loops in the pattern diagram.
Tip for performing decreases-1 (for elastic):
Decreasing the loops in the elastic band, knit 2 stitches together purlwise in the purl areas. loops

Advice for making decreases-2 (for decreases in the top of the jumper):
Make all decreases in the front rows.
Knit until there are 4 stitches left in front of the marker, knit the next 3 stitches together (= decrease 2 stitches), knit the next 2 stitches (the marker will be between these stitches), knit the next 3 stitches together knitted (= decrease 2 stitches). Repeat the decreases near the other marker.

Raglan:
Decrease before the marker: knit until there are 3 sts left in front of the marker, 2 sts together, knit 1 st. (loop with marker).
Decrease after the marker: 1 knit stitch, slip 1 stitch as a knit stitch, 1 knit stitch, place the removed loop over the knitted one.

The jumper is knitted in the round.
Main part:
Cast on 268-280-292-316-340-376 stitches on 3.5 mm circular needles and knit 1 row, then rib: * pattern A.2a (= 12 stitches), pattern A.3a (= 15 stitches), A.4a (= 9 sts), p1, (k3/p3), repeat from (-) 6-6-7-7-8-8 times total, k3, P1, A.5a (= 9 sts), A.3a, A.6a (= 12 sts), (K3/P3), repeat from (-) for a total of 3-4-4- 6-7-10 times, 3 knits.p. *, repeat from *-* 1 more time.

Repeat the first 2 rows from the diagram, knit the remaining loops according to the pattern until you have knitted 12 rows in total.
Next, knit according to the pattern: * knit the first 36 loops as the 3rd row in the pattern, knit the next 41-41-47-47-53-53 loops with an elastic band, as before, evenly decreasing 11-7-9-9-11-11 loops, knit the next 36 loops as the 3rd row in the diagram, knit the next 21-27-27-39-45-63 loops with an elastic band as before, decreasing evenly 7-9-5-5-7-9 loops *, repeat from *-* 1 more time = 220-236-252-276-292-324 loops. Knit the last row from patterns A.2a-A.6.a, knit the remaining elastic loops according to the pattern. The height of the elastic band should be about 5 cm.
Switch to 4 mm circular needles and knit as follows: * Pattern A.2b (= 11 stitches), Pattern A.3b (= 13 stitches), Pattern A.4b (= 9 stitches), next 28-32-36 -36-40-40 stitches in pattern A.1, knit first 2 stitches from chart A.1, pattern A.5b (= 9 stitches), pattern A.3b (= 13 stitches), pattern A.6b (= 11 loops), knit the next 12-16-20-32-36-52 loops with pattern A.1, knit the first 2 loops from pattern A.1 *, repeat from *-* 1 more time.

Continue knitting according to this pattern. When you knit 15-15-16-16-17-17 cm, fasten 2 markers in the fabric: the first marker - after 103-109-115-121-127-135 loops, the second - after 7-9-11-17-19 -27 stitches to end of row (= there should be 110-118-126-138-146-162 stitches between markers).

In the next row, increase 1 stitch on each side of the markers. Repeat the increase when the knitting length is 26-27-27-28-28-29 cm = 228-244-260-284-300-332 loops.

When you have worked 44-44-45-45-45-45 cm, continue with the pattern: knit until there are 5 stitches left before the 1st marker, cast off the next 10 stitches for the armhole (= 5 stitches on each side of the marker) , work until 5 stitches remain before 2nd marker, cast off next 10 stitches for armhole (= 5 stitches on each side of marker), work remaining stitches to end of row. You should have 104-112-120-132-140-156 stitches on front and back.

Put this part of the knitting aside and start knitting the sleeves.

Sleeves:
Knitted in the round on stocking/circular needles.
Cast on 60-60-66-66-66-72 stitches on stocking needles No. 3.5 mm and knit with an elastic band: 3 knit stitches, (3 purl stitches, 3 purl stitches), repeat from (-) 3 total -3-4-4-4-5 times, pattern A.4a (= 9 sts), k3, (p3, k3), repeat from (-) 3 times total , pattern A.5a (= 9 loops).

Continue knitting this pattern and repeat the first 2 rows from the pattern until you have knitted 12 rows. Then knit the 3rd row from the diagram: knit the first 21-21-27-27-27-33 loops with an elastic band, evenly decreasing 3-3-5-5-5-7 loops, knit the next one with pattern A.4a, as before Knit 21 loops with an elastic band, evenly decreasing 3 loops = 54-54-58-58-58-62 loops.

Knit the last row from patterns A.4a-A.5.a, knit the remaining loops according to the pattern.

Continue working according to the pattern: knit the first 9-9-11-11-11-13 stitches, secure 1 marker (= middle of the bottom of the sleeve). Note: The marker indicates the beginning of the row.

Work the last 3-3-1-1-1-3 stitches from pattern A.1, then work a full repeat of pattern A.1 1-1-2-2-2-2 times wide, work the first 2 stitches from pattern A .1, pattern A.4b, knit the next 16 stitches with pattern A.1, knit the first 2 stitches from pattern A.1, pattern A.5b, knit pattern A.1 2-2-2-2-2-3 times width and finish the row with the first 1-1-3-3-3-1 stitch according to pattern A.1.
Continue knitting according to this pattern.

When you have knitted 7cm, start increasing at the bottom of the sleeve - see advice on increasing.

Repeat every 12-9-9-7-6-6th row 11-5-5-17-15-15 times and every 0-8-8-0-5-5th row 0-10 -10-0-4-4 times (= 11-15-15-17-19-19 times total) = 76-84-88-92-96-100 stitches.

When sleeve measures 54-53-52-51-49-48 cm, cast off 10 sts at bottom of sleeve (= 5 sts on each side of marker) = 66-74-78-82-86-90 sts.

Knit the second sleeve in the same way.

Yoke:
Transfer the sleeve loops to the same needles as the main part without knitting them = 340-372-396-428-452-492 loops. At each border between the main part and the sleeves, attach a marker = 4 markers.

Continue knitting according to the same pattern, but knitting 4 knit stitches. on each border of the body and sleeves (= 2 knit stitches on each side of each marker).

Note: the beginning of the row is between the right sleeve and the back.

At the same time, start doing raglan decreases - see description above. Note: raglan decreases on the sleeves and the main part are performed differently.
Main part raglan:
Decrease every 2nd row 17-20-20-22-25-26 times and every row 13-13-15-17-17-22 times (= 30-33-35-39-42- total) 48 times).

Raglan sleeves:
Decrease every 4th row 4-3-2-3-4-5 times and every 2nd row 16-21-24-25-26-27 times (= 20-24-26-28 total -30-32 times).
When you finish all the raglan decreases, you will have 140-144-152-160-164-172 stitches left.

Knit 1 row according to the pattern without knitting 24 loops (= 2 loops after the front and right sleeve marker). Secure 1 marker here - now this is the beginning of the row. Tie a sprout at the back neck:
Note: continue to knit as before, decreasing 2 stitches on each side of the sleeve and back markers (= decreasing 8 stitches on the right row) - see decreasing tip 2.

At the same time, knit the back in turning rows according to the pattern:
Row 1 (= knit): Work 92-94-98-102-104-108 stitches (including decreased 8 stitches),
Row 2 (= purl): turn and work 81-83-87-91-93-97 stitches,
Row 3: Turn and work 78-80-84-88-90-94 stitches (including 8 decreased stitches),
Row 4: Turn and work 67-69-73-77-79-83 stitches,
Row 5: Turn and work 64-66-70-74-76-80 stitches (including 8 dec stitches),
Row 6: Turn and work 53-55-59-63-65-69 stitches,
Row 7: Turn and work 50-52-56-60-62-66 stitches (including decreased 8 stitches),
Row 8: Turn and work stitches back to marker (= start of row).
A total of 32 stitches should be decreased and 108-112-120-128-132-140 stitches should remain.
Switch to needles No. 3.5 mm and knit 1 row:
Work the first 14 stitches and increase 1 stitch (= sleeve), work the next 4 stitches, then work 24-26-30-34-36-40 stitches (= back), evenly increasing 3-1-3-5-3-5 loops, knit 4 loops, knit 14 loops and increase 1 loop (= sleeve), knit 4 loops, knit 40-42-46-50-52-56 loops (= front), decreasing evenly 1-3-1-5- 1-5 stitches, knit remaining 4 stitches = 112-112-124-130-136-142 stitches.
Next, knit with an elastic band: p3, k3, p3, k3, p3, k4, (p3, k3), repeat from (-) for a total of 4-4-5- 6-6-7 times, p3, k4, p3, k3, p3, k3, p3, k4, (p3, k3), repeat from (-) 6-6-7-7-8-8 times, p3, k4. Continue knitting in the round according to the pattern until you have knitted 7cm of elastic, then bind off the stitches loosely.

Assembly:
Sew open seams at the bottom of the sleeves.
Turn the elastic band of the neck inside the jumper and sew it on.
