Description of knitting

Back. On knitting needles No. 4.5, using a double cross cast-on (see p. 27), cast on 111 (117) 125 sts and knit 1 purl. R. purl. This series is not taken into account in further calculations.

Then distribute the pattern loops as follows: edge stitch, 33 (36) 40 stitches of cross-ribbed pattern, 43 stitches of the central motif, 33 (36) 40 stitches of cross-rib pattern, edge stitch. For bevels along the hip line on both sides, decrease 5 times in every 10th r. and 4 times every 8th r. 1 p. each - 93 (99) 107 p.

After 52 cm = 120 rub. from the initial row for side bevels on both sides, add 1 p. and in the next 16 p. 1 time for 1 p. = 97 (103) 111 p.

After 65 cm = 150 rub. from the initial row for armholes on both sides, first decrease 1 time in 6 stitches, then 4 times in every 2nd row. and 2 times every 4th r. 1 p. each = 73 (79) 87 p.

After 78 cm = 180 rub. (80 cm = 184 rub.) 82 cm = 188 rub. From the initial row for the neck, close the middle 21 sts and finish both sides separately. For rounding from the inner edge in every 2nd r. close 3 times for 2 p. and 4 times for 1 p.

After 87 cm = 200 rub. (89 cm = 204 rub.) 91 cm = 208 rub. From the initial row, close off the remaining 16 (19) 23 shoulder stitches. Finish the second side symmetrically.

Sleeves. Using knitting needles No. 4.5, in a double cross cast-on, cast on 60 (66) 76 stitches for each sleeve and knit 1 purl. R. purl. This series is not taken into account in further calculations. Then continue working with a cross-ribbed pattern.

After 29 cm in 66 r. From the initial row, close off the remaining 28 (34) 44 sts.
