Sweater with a fancy pattern of cones.

The sunny yellow alpaca wool straight pullover features a fantastic play of patterns: bumps and braids come to the fore, while the pullover's bottom placket, high collar and 3/4-length drop-shoulder sleeves are ribbed. This model harmoniously combines impeccable comfort and impeccable appearance.

“Braid” 1 (initially on 9 loops). Knit according to pattern 2, which shows the front rows. In the purl rows, knit loops according to the pattern. In height, perform 1 time from the 1st to the 10th row, then repeat from the 5th to the 10th row.

Pigtail cord with 2 loops. 1st row: knit stitches, pass the knitting needle in front of the 1st stitch, knit the 2nd stitch and, without dropping the knitted loop from the knitting needle, knit the 1st stitch, then drop both loops. 2nd row: purl stitches.
