Back:

Using size 6 needles, cast on 65 (71, 77, 83, 89) stitches.

1st row (front): 2 (1, 0, 3, 2) purl loops, [2 knit loops, 2 purl loops] – 4 (5, 6, 6, 7) times, 3 knit loops, [2 purl loops, 2 knit loops] – 2 times, 2 purl loops, 3 knit loops, [2 purl loops, 2 knit loops] – 2 times, 2 purl loops, 3 knit loops, [2 purl loops, 2 knit loops] – 4 (5, 6, 6, 7) times, purl 2 (1, 0, 3, 2) stitches.

These 2 rows establish the order in which the rib is knitted. Knit another 14 rows of elastic, ending with a purl row.

Change knitting needles to size 7.

Start knitting pattern:

1st row (front): 3 knit stitches, 5 (8, 11, 14, 17) purl loops, place a marker, 1st row of pattern A, place a marker, 1st row of pattern B, place a marker, 1- 1st row of pattern C, place marker, 5 (8, 11, 14, 17) purl stitches, 3 knit stitches.

2nd row (purl): 3 purl stitches, 5 (8, 11, 14, 17) knit stitches, marker. 2nd row of pattern C, marker, 2nd row of pattern B, marker, 2nd row of pattern A, marker, 5 (8, 11, 14, 17) knit stitches, purl 3 stitches.

Raglan formation:

Before starting this section, it is recommended to place markers at each end of the previous row. These markers will indicate the beginning of the armhole.

There is no need to close the armpit loops; the formation of the armhole begins immediately.

Since the number of loops in leaf patterns varies from row to row, it is recommended to count not the total number of loops in each row, but only the number of added or decreased loops.

After the 36th row is completed with pattern A and C, continue to perform the formation, repeating the 1st and 2nd rows. When the 54th row of pattern B is completed, continue to form, repeating the 1st and 2nd rows.

Only for sizes 12-14, 16-18, 20-22 and 24-26:

1st row (front, decrease): knit 2 loops together with a slant to the left, 1 knit loop, purl loops to the marker, knit until the last 3 loops, 1 knit loop, 2 knit loops together with a slant to the right - decreased 2 raglan loops.

2nd row (purl, decrease): 2 purl loops knit together, purl 1 loop, knit stitches to marker, knit to the last 3 loops, purl 1 loop, purl 2 loops together at the back walls - 2 loops decreased for raglan.

Repeat the last 2 rows more - (1, 2, 3, 4) times, ending with the 2nd row, and knitting 2 loops together purl at the beginning of the row and 2 loops together purl behind the back walls at the end of the row when decreases are made on the purl stitch – decreased – (8, 12, 16, 20) loops/

On the knitting needles - (85, 79, 73, 77) stitches, when done - (32, 34, 36, 38) row of pattern B, which gives - (18, 15, 13, 13) stitches of patterns A and C and – (35, 33, 29, 33) loops of pattern B. **

For all sizes:

1st row (front, decrease): knit 2 loops together with a slant to the left, 1 knit loop, purl loops to the marker, knit until the last 3 loops, 1 knit loop, 2 knit loops together with a slant to the right - decreased 2 raglan loops.

2nd row (purl): knit without decreasing.

Repeat the last 2 rows another 21 (20, 20, 20, 20) times, ending with the 2nd row, and knitting 2 stitches together purl at the beginning of the row and 2 loops purl together behind the back walls at the end of the row when decrements are made on the purl stitch – on the needles there are 21 (21, 23, 25, 27) loops.

Close all loops.

Knit as a back to **.

There are 101 (85, 79, 73, 77) stitches on the needles when the 28 (32, 34, 36, 38) row of pattern B is completed, which gives 22 (18, 15, 13, 13) stitches of patterns A and C and 41 (35, 33, 29, 31) stitches in pattern B, with 8 (7, 8, 9, 10) stitches on each side of pattern panel.
