Description of knitting

Back: dial a chain of 120 air. p. and knit in a pattern according to the pattern.

At a height of 35 cm from the beginning of knitting, begin to decrease the armhole on both sides in accordance with the pattern. At a total height of 53 cm, leave the central 19 cm of the pattern unknitted and knit both sides separately for another 2 cm. At a height of 55 cm from the beginning, finish the work.

Before: knit similarly to the back until the height is 48 cm from the beginning of work, then leave the central 10 cm of the pattern undone.
Next, knit both sides separately, making decreases to smoothly round the neckline in accordance with the pattern. Finish the work at back height.

Sleeves: for the cuff, dial a chain of 24 air. p. and knit an elastic band: half-columns behind the back half-loop of the chain. After 18 cm, crochet the first and last rows of elastic. Place one row of chain stitch along the bottom edge of the cuff, and one row along the top edge so that the elastic does not stretch too much. For the main part of the sleeve, along the top row of the chain stitch, cast on 108 sts and knit one row of s/n stitches.
Next, knit in the round (or in straight and reverse rows) in a pattern according to the pattern. At a height of 40 cm from the cuff in the armpit area, leave 5 cm of the pattern unknitted. Next, knit in straight and reverse rows, decreasing on both sides to form the sleeve cap in accordance with the pattern. Finish knitting 16 cm from the start of knitting the armhole.

Assembly: sew side and shoulder seams, sew sleeves into armholes. Along the neckline, sew one row of chain stitch to avoid deformation of the neckline.
