CARDIGAN WITH KNITTED PATTERN OF BRANCHES AND LEAVES

CARDIGAN WITH LEAF BRANCH PATTERN The pattern "Branch with Leaves" consists of 27 stitches + 2 edge stitches. The chart shows only the right-side rows. Knit the wrong-side rows as usual — according to the pattern, and yarn overs as purl stitches. In the pattern repeat of the branch, you will encounter the phrase: "add one stitch." This increase is made by knitting through the back of the purl stitch from the previous row (that is, one stitch is knitted as if twice). The added stitches are knitted as knits (on the purl side). The number of stitches in the rows will constantly change, which gives relief to the leaves. The pattern chart for the branch has a large number of "empty" squares (no stitch), which should be ignored, and you should only knit the filled squares. The photo shows the branch consisting of the following rows according to the chart: the initial part — from rows 1 to 12, then 2 repeats in height — from rows 13 to 24 (the repeating part of the pattern), and the final central leaf — from rows 25 to 43 (the end of the branch). The branch is located on a wrong-side field, which is included in the chart. The stitches of the stockinette stitch, which are partially visible in the photo on the sides of the branch, are not included in the pattern chart.
