diagrams for all sizes.

Knit 1 time according to pattern S.1 and continue in two strands with camel alpaca to a height of 16-17-19 -21 cm.

Knit 1 time according to pattern S.2 and continue in two strands with camel alpaca to a height of 27-29-32 -35 cm.

Knit 1 time according to pattern S.3 and continue in two strands with camel alpaca to a height of 8

cm from the marker. Knit once according to pattern S.4 and finish in two strands with camel alpaca.

Sleeve stripes: S.1-S.4. Start with an arrow of the appropriate size.

NB! The larger size starts higher due to the wider yoke. Knit 1 time according to pattern S.1 and continue in two threads with camel alpaca until the number of rows is the same as in S.1 on the back and shelves. Knit 1 time according to pattern 5.2 and continue in two threads with camel alpaca until the number of rows is the same as in S.2 on the back and shelves. Tie S. 3.

Pattern diagram:

See diagrams M. 1 and M.2.

 The diagrams show the front rows.

NB! For sizes XS and L/XL, start from the arrow in the diagram M. 2.

Front bar: 5 stitches on each side, knitted in garter stitch with double beige alpaca thread. Use separate balls and cross the thread when changing colors to avoid holes.

Decreases (1 hint): See pic. 1 for example. All decreases are made in the rows of the pattern. Decrease 2 loops in each repeat like this: k1, yarn over, continue until 3 loops remain in the center of the repeat, slip 1 as knits, 2 together, pass through the slipped loop. Repeat 3 together again. Continue the pattern and finish with 1 yarn over and k1. On the next row, continue as before, but on each side of the center there is one less stitch.

Decreases (2nd tip) when you decrease in purl. row knit 2 together purl. at the beginning or end of a row

Increases: see Diagram 2 for an example. All increases are made in the pattern. Add 2 stitches in each repeat like this: k1, 1 yarn over, knit the remaining stitches in stocking stitch and finish the repeat with 1 yarn over and k1.. In the next row, continue as before, but on each side of the center one more loop

Holes for straps: Make holes on the right bar. 1 hole – close the 3rd petto from the middle, dial 1 in the next row

Button spacing:

Size XS: 1, 9, 17, 25, 33, 41 and 49 cm

Size S/M: 2, 9, 16, 23, 30, 37, 44 and 51 cm.

Size L/XL: 2, 10, 17, 25, 32, 40, 47 and 55 cm.

Size XXL/XXL: 2, 10, 17, 24, 31, 38, 45, 52 and 60 cm

Front and back: Knit the front and back on circular needles, starting from the middle of the front. Read the entire description before knitting.

Cast on 210-250 – 290-330 stitches (including 5 for the slats on each side) on 2 5 mm circular needles (to make the cast-on edge more elastic) using a double thread of light beige alpaca. Pull out 1 spoke. Work 2 rows in garter stitch (watch for stripes). Place markers on MT 55-65-75 -85 sts on each side (to mark sides) = 100-120 – 140-160 sts on back.

Continue knitting with a zigzag according to pattern M 1 (10-12-14 -16 repeats), 5 loops per plank. Don't forget to knit a button hole. At a height of 2 cm from the beginning, decrease 2 loops in each repeat and every 5 cm a total of 3-3-2-2 times = 150-178 - 234-266 loops (1 repeat - 14-14-16 -16 loops). When the height becomes 19 cm, increase 2 loops in each repeat = 170-202 - 262-298 loops (1 repeat = 16-16-18 -18 loops).

For size XS: repeat increase at 29 cm = 190 stitches (1 repeat = 18 stitches).

When the size reaches 32-32-34 -34 cm, knit 9-8-9-9 stitches in stockinette stitch on both sides of the markers (knit the remaining stitches as before - with a pattern), when the height reaches 35-35-37 -37 cm, close these 9-8-9-9 stitches on both sides of armhole markers = 154-170 – 226-262 stitches (= 8-10-12-14 repeats in total). Set aside the back and front edges and knit the sleeve.

Sleeves

Knit on 40 cm circular needles. Cast on 48-45-64 -80 stitches on 4.5 mm needles using double thread of light beige alpaca. Knit in the round, knitting strips at the same time. Knit rib k1, p3. and at a height of 4 cm, knit 1 row and switch to 5 mm knitting needles. Knit 1 more row of faces, and continue according to pattern M 2 (= 3-4-4-5 rapports).

NBI Make sure that the first stitch of the pattern is placed on the knit stitch of the elastic. At a height of 10 cm, sew 2 loops in each repeat - 54-64-72 -90 loops (1 repeat - 18 loops)

At a height of 31-30-30 -27 cm, knit 9-8-9-9 loops on each side in stocking stitch (knit the remaining loops in a pattern) and at a height of 34-33-33 -30 cm (match the number of rows with the shelves and back so the stripes match) cast off 9-8-9-9 stitches on each side for armholes = 36-48-54 -72 stitches (= 2-3-3-4 repeats). Set aside and knit the second sleeve.

Yoke

Transfer the sleeve stitches to circular needles with the main part in the place where the loops for the armholes are closed = 226-266 – 334-406 loops (= 12-16-18 -22 repeats). Place a marker and now measure everything from it. Continue knitting stripes (S.3) and zigzag, continue knitting stripes in garter stitch. At a distance of 1 cm from the mark, decrease 2 stitches in each repeat - 202-234 - 298-362 stitches. Repeat decreases at a distance of 3 cm = 178-202 – 262-318 loops.

For size L/XL: repeat decreases at a distance of 5 cm = 226 stitches For size XXL/XXXL: repeat decreases at a distance of 5 cm (= 274 stitches) and 7 cm = 230 stitches.

At a distance of 8 – 8-10-12 cm, knit 1 row of knits, add 1 loop – 179-203 -227-

231 loops. Next, knit with an elastic band as follows Size XS: 5 placket loops, “1 k/w purl”, repeat from *- and finish with 1 knit, 5 placket loops.

Sizes S/M + L/XL: 5 placket stitches, *1 k p p“, repeat from *-* and finish 1

knit, 5 strap loops

Sizes XXL/XXXL: 5 placket loops, *k1/p9*, repeat from *-* and finish with k1, 5 placket loops

At a distance of 9 - 9-11-14 from the marker, decrease 1 stitch in each section and decrease

every 2 cm 3-4-4-5 times in total = 107-107 – 119-121 stitches. at a distance of 14-16-18 -19-23 cm from the marker, knit 1 row of knits, 1 row with an elastic band, as before, and close the loops not tightly.

Assembly: sew under the arms, sew on buttons
