Knitted Sweater

Oversized size, approximately 44-48

Knitted from Drops air with size 5 needles, ribbing 4. The gauge of stockinette stitch in 10cm: 16.5 stitches/24 rows.

Cast on 200 stitches + 1 for joining. On size 4 needles, use the classic method. Join the knitting in the round. Knit ribbing 1*1 for 11 rows. Then switch to size 5 needles.

Place a marker at the beginning of the round, after 15 stitches, after 70 stitches, after 15 stitches.
Knit as follows: 15 stitches knit, 70 stitches pattern (12 stitches first, 20 stitches repeat, 20 stitches repeat, 18 stitches last), 15 stitches knit. 100 stitches knit (this is the back)

Knit to a height of 40cm (you may have a different height), during the knitting of the body, make increases before and after the marker after every 28 rows. That is, two increases on the front and back, one on the right, the second on the left. (I ended up with a total of three increases)

Then separate the knitting into front and back. Knit each part separately in rows
For the front, knit another 38 rows
For the back - 40 rows.

Then shape the neckline with short rows, the carousel scheme. The turning points of the knitting are indicated in green.

Sew the shoulders with a knit stitch. The neckline stitches remain open. From them, we will continue to knit the collar of the sweater with size 4 needles for 32 rows, close the collar stitches.

For the sleeves, cast on 76 stitches.
Knit the sleeves in knit stitches. Make decreases at the beginning and end in the following rows: 15, 30, 45, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100. A total of 108 rows.
Switch to size 4 needles. Knit ribbing 1*1, in the first row of ribbing decrease every third stitch. Knit 11 rows. Bind off.
