For a stylish striped pullover with an elongated back, boat neckline and sleeves, we selected yarn in two trendy colors - gray and lemon - and a beautiful pattern with cones.

Knitting it will not be difficult even for beginners - excellent results are guaranteed!

For you - step-by-step master class from designer Elena Lapotko

You will need: Gazzai Baby Cotton yarn (60% cotton, 40% acrylic, 165 m / 50 g) – 250 g gray and 200 g yellow, hook No. 3, needle for sewing knitted items.

Size: XS

PREPARATORY WORK

Crochet the pattern with crochet number 3.

 Dial 20 air. p. + 3 air. instep stitches and knit according to pattern 1 (at the beginning of the row, always perform 3 instep stitches).

Pattern repeat: 4 stitches wide and 4 rows high.

Knit a cone from 4 double crochets.

 In the 4th and 5th rows there are chains of air. knit more loosely, otherwise the pattern will tighten and decrease in size.

Repeat the pattern from the 2nd row.

Using the sample, calculate the required number of stitches for your size. Measure your chest circumference - in our example 76 cm - and divide it in half = 38 cm (the width of the front and back of the pullover).

 For a pullover with a loose silhouette, you need to make an increase.

It will be 8 cm: 38 + 8 = 46 cm.

Using a measuring tape, measure your sample and see how many times it fits 46cm.

Count the resulting repeats, and do not forget to subtract 2 edge stitches, multiply by the number of loops in the repeat.

In our example, we got 25 rapports: 25 x 4 = 100 + 2 air. items on both sides (edge).

Total for size XS you need to dial 104 air. P.
