Sew the shoulders with a knitting stitch.

Knitting the sleeves.

In this model, you can independently adjust the height of the armhole and the width of the sleeves. The height of the armhole according to the description is 18cm.

Before raising stitches from the armhole, you need to determine the height of the armhole. Measure 18 cm and mark with pins.

10cm - 16 stitches. 18cm - 28.8 stitches = 30 stitches.

That is, for a height of 18 cm, you need to raise 60 stitches. This is 1.5 repeats (1-40 stitches + 1-20 stitches).

From the mark, you should raise 30 stitches to the shoulder seam + 30 stitches after.

Join the knitting in the round, mark the beginning of the knitting, and knit in rounds according to the pattern until the desired length (try on the item while knitting).

If you want straight sleeves, decreases are made only before starting to knit the 1x1 ribbing (cuffs). To do this, in the 1st row of the pattern «1x1 ribbing», decrease stitches - 2 purls together 20 times.

On the needles 40 stitches. Knit according to the pattern.

«1x1 ribbing» for 12-14 rows (at your discretion).

The 1x1 ribbing should be knitted on 3.5mm needles (1-1.5 sizes smaller than the main fabric).

If you want a classic sleeve, make decreases (after the marker of the beginning of knitting and at the end of the marker), for instance, every 15-20 rows, continuing to knit according to the pattern. Knit the 1x1 ribbing similarly (see above).

If the height of the armhole is more than 18cm, for example, 20cm, you need to raise 64 stitches. That is, you distribute the pattern as follows - 2 knits, 1 repeat of the pattern Rhombuses (1-40 stitches), 1/2 repeat of the pattern Rhombuses (1-20 stitches), 2 knits.

After the sleeves are knitted, it is necessary to lay a knitting seam at the distance that remains along the side seam.

Knitting the placket.

Put the removed stitches of the placket on working needles, continue knitting the pattern «1x1 ribbing» on both sides. Knit to the required length (to the middle of the back), close the stitches, and sew the two ends of the placket together.

Sew the placket to the item.

The cardigan is ready! It is highly recommended to wash the item in warm water with detergent. Dry on a flat horizontal surface. After the item is completely dry, you need to hide the ends of the threads and sew on the buttons.
