Description of knitting a sweater with arans

On short circular needles No. 5, cast on 96 sts and close the row, marking the beginning of the row. Knit in the round for a 15 cm collar with an elastic band.

Next, for the round yoke, knit, distributing the loops of the patterns as follows: 12 sts of the braid pattern A (= left sleeve), 36 sts of the braid pattern B (= front), 12 sts of the braid pattern A (= right sleeve) and 36 stitches of braid pattern A (= back).

If necessary, as you add more stitches, switch to long circular needles. After 24.5 cm = 64 r. from the collar (= end of the yoke) on knitting needles: 76 stitches each for sleeves and 100 stitches each for front and back = 352 stitches in total.

After this, leave the first 252 stitches temporarily; on the last 100 stitches, knit the back in rows in forward and reverse directions. After 3 cm = 8 r. from the beginning of separate knitting (= 27.5 cm = 72 r. from the collar), the back loops, cast on 9 sts on both sides of them, connect with the remaining 100 sts in front.

On all 218 stitches continue working in the circle, on the newly cast on loops - with a pearl pattern.

After 55.5 cm = 144 rubles. from the collar (measured along the back), resp. 52.5 cm = 136 rub. from the collar (measured along the front), knit for the bottom bar on the loops of the outer “braids” (4 sts) according to the pattern, between them with an elastic band, and distribute the pattern so that on both sides of the “braids” (4 sts) .) were 2 purl; besides this in the 1st r. in purl paths after, respectively, before the outer “braids” (for 4 p.), knit 2 p. together once, purl, and inside all “braids” (for 12 p.) the 4th and 5th p., and also knit the 8th and 9th stitches together purlwise (6 stitches are decreased on the front and back) = 206 stitches.

If the width of the bottom bar is 6 cm, close the loops according to the drawing.

Then knit the right sleeve: from 9 newly cast on loops between the front and back, cast on 9 p., along the side edge of the back in a section of 8 p. cast on 5 sts, transfer the remaining 76 sts of the sleeve to the knitting needles, close the row and continue knitting for all 90 sts according to the pattern, knit with a pearl pattern on the newly cast on loops.

At the same time, starting from the end of the yoke, decrease to narrow the sleeves 14 times in every 5th r. 2 sts each: knit the last 2 sts of the pearl pattern before the braid pattern, as well as the first 2 sts of the pearl pattern after the braid pattern, together according to the pattern.

As the stitches decrease, switch to shorter circular needles.

After the decreases have been made on the needles, 62 sts.

After 52.5 cm = 136 rubles. from the collar, continue working with an elastic band, while in the 1st row. in the section of the braid pattern, subtract 6 sts, as described for the front and back = 56 sts.

After 15 cm from the beginning of the elastic band, close the loops according to the drawing.

The left sleeve is knitted symmetrically to the right sleeve.
