Pattern V, needles No. 5 (Semi-patent - odd number of loops):

Row 1: 1 edge, *1 purl, 1 knit*, repeat from * to *, finish with 1 purl, 1 edge.

Row 2: 1 edge stitch, * 1 patent loop (1 knitting needle is inserted 1 row below), 1 purl stitch *, repeat from * to *, finish with 1 patent loop, 1 edge stitch. Repeat rows 1 + 2.

Note: at the last crossing of the braid, before decreasing, decrease the added loops again.

Men's jacket knitting density: Pattern I – III, knitting needles No. 5: 19 loops per 26 rows corresponds to 10 cm by 10 cm; Pattern V, knitting needles No. 5: 18 stitches per 40 rows corresponds to 10 cm by 10 cm.

Description of knitting a men's jacket with a zipper.

Back:

Cast on 96 (106, 114, 124) stitches and knit with Pattern I.

At a height of 5 cm from the cast-on edge, continue knitting with needles No. 5, distributing the patterns as follows: 1 edge, 5 (10, 10, 15) loops. Pattern II, 8 loops of Pattern III, 5 loops of Pattern II, 24 loops of Pattern IV, 5 loops of Pattern II, 0 (0, 8, 8) loops of Pattern III, 5 loops of Pattern II, 24 loops of Pattern IV, 5 loops of Pattern II, 8 loops of Pattern III, 5 (10, 10, 15) loops of Pattern II, 1 edge stitch.

Armhole: at a height of 44 (43, 42, 40) cm from the cast-on edge (measure by weight), close on both sides 1 (1, 1, 2) times 2 loops and decrease 3 (8, 8, 11) times 1 loop, 86 (86, 94, 94) loops in total.

Shoulder bevel: at shoulder height 24 (25, 26, 28) cm, close on both sides 1 time 6 loops + 3 times 7 loops, 1 time 6 loops + 3 times 7 loops, 3 times 7 loops + 1 time 8 loops, 3 times 7 + 1 time 8 loops.

Neckline: simultaneously with the beginning of the decreases for the shoulder bevel, close the middle 26 (26, 30, 30) loops and on both sides in every second row 1 time 2 loops and 1 time 1 loop.

Left shelf:

Cast on 49 (54, 59, 64) stitches and knit with Pattern I.

At a height of 5 cm from the cast-on edge, continue knitting with needles No. 5, distributing patterns as follows: 1 edge, 5 (10, 10, 15) loops of Pattern II, 8 loops of Pattern III, 5 loops of Pattern II, 24 loops of Pattern IV, 5 ( 5, 10, 10) loops of Pattern II, 1 edge.

I will make the armhole and bevel the shoulder along the right edge at the same height and in the same way as on the back.

INneckline: at a height of 61 cm from the cast-on edge along the left edge, cast off 7 (7, 9, 9) loops 1 time, 3 (3, 4, 4) loops 1 time, 2 loops 1 time and decrease 1 loop 5 times.

Right shelf:

knit symmetrically to the left front, distributing the patterns as follows: 1 edge, 5 (5, 10, 10) loops of Pattern II, 24 loops of Pattern IV, 5 loops of Pattern II, 8 loops of Pattern III, 5 (10, 10, 15) loops of Pattern II, 1 edge.

Sleeve:

cast on 41 (45, 47, 53) loops and knit with Pattern V. For a side bevel, add 1 loop on both sides in every 14th row 13 times, for a total of 67 (71, 73, 79) loops.

At a height of 49 cm from the cast-on edge, bind off on both sides in every second row 1 (1, 1, 2) times 2 loops, then decrease alternately in every 2nd + 4th row 18 (18, 19, 19) times 1 loop and close in every 2nd row 4 (4, 5, 5) times 1 loop, 1 time 2 loops and 1 time 3 loops.

At a height of 17 (17, 18, 18) cm, bind off the remaining loops.

Hood:

Using needles No. 5, cast on 122 (122, 132, 132) loops and knit with Pattern IV.

At a height of 20 (20, 23, 23) cm from the cast-on edge, close on both sides in every second row 4 times 12 loops, 4 times 12 loops, 1 time 14 loops + 3 times 13 loops, 1 time 14 loops + 3 times 13 loops

At a height of 48 (48, 53, 53) cm from the cast-on edge, bind off the remaining 26 stitches.

Assembly:

make seams. Sew the seam of the hood and sew it into the neckline.

Along the edge of the shelves and the edge of the hood, cast on about 340 (350) loops (edges of the shelves 110 loops each, edge of the hood 120 (130) loops).

Knit the next purl row with all knit stitches, then bind off all stitches.

Knit the zipper strips on 4 loops. Sew on a zipper. Sew in sleeves.
