Sweater length: 47 (52) cm.

You will need:

450 (550) g of yarn type LINIE 326 BANDELLO from ONline in pink color number 18 (87% cotton, 13% polyamide, 80 m/50 g); needles No. 5.

Lace pattern: The number of stitches is a multiple of 15 + 1 + edge st.

Knit according to charts 1-4, which show the knit and purl rows.

Repeat from the 1st to the 10th row.

From the left edge, the last stitch before the edge is always knitted in stockinette stitch, as shown in the chart.

Main pattern: Stockinette stitch: knit row - knit st., purl row - purl st.

Purl stitch: knit row - purl st., purl row - knit st.

Knitting density:

Lace pattern averaged: 15 st. and 22 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

Back:

Cast on 73 (87) st. and knit the 1st (purl) row in knit stitches, 2nd and 3rd rows - in purl stitches.

Knit in the main pattern, adding 5 x (6 x) 1 st. twisted yarn after every 12th st. in the 1st row = 78 (93) st.

After 10 cm = 22 rows of the main pattern, start the lace pattern 2 from the left edge, see distribution on the pattern.

i.e., knit in knit stitches until the last 6 st. at the end of the row, then after the 1st row of the chart, knit 3 st. together knit, 1 yarn over, 1 knit st., 1 yarn over, and another knit st. (stockinette stitch as shown in the chart), edge st.

Add lace pattern according to the chart and pattern gradually.

For the neckline, after approximately 34 (39) cm = 74 (84) rows of the lace pattern, bind off the middle 44 (45) st. and finish both sides separately.

Attention: When knitting sizes 42-46, the pattern needs to be slightly adjusted after decreases.

After 36 (41) cm = 80 (90) rows of the lace pattern, bind off 17 (24) st. for the shoulder.

Front:

Knit in the same distribution as on the back, but for a deeper neckline, after only 32 (36) cm = 70 (80) rows of the lace pattern, do as described for the back.

Sleeve:

(same for both sizes) cast on 57 st., knit the 1st (purl) row in knit stitches, and the 2nd and 3rd rows in purl stitches.

Knit in the main pattern, adding 5 x 1 st. twisted yarn after every 10th st. in the 1st row = 62 st.

After 10 cm = 22 rows of the main pattern, start the lace pattern 2 and 3 on the middle 30 st., see distribution on the pattern.

For lace pattern 3, add 1 st. before the edge st. on the left side and knit this stitch in stockinette stitch = 63 st.

After 18 cm = 40 rows of the lace pattern, bind off all stitches loosely.

Assembling the pieces:

Make shoulder seams.

Along the neckline, pick up approximately 108 (110) st. (44 (45) st. on the bound-off stitches, 10 st. on the sides) and knit 2 rounds in purl, then bind off all stitches of the round in knit.

Set in the sleeves as marked, then make side seams and sleeve seams.
