Repeat row 2. Description The back and front are knitted the same. Cast on 82 stitches and knit 15 rows in 2 x 2 ribbing (about 5 cm), starting with a purl row. Since both 2 x 2 ribbing and English ribbing are double-sided, place a marker on the right side. Next, starting with a knit row, knit in English ribbing until the total height is 35 cm and bind off 4 stitches on each side for the armhole. If you want the sweater to be longer, knit the required length to the armhole. Place markers 4 stitches from the edge on each side. Then decrease 2 stitches on each side every second knit row (that is, knit one knit row without decreasing stitches, and in the next knit row decrease stitches). To decrease 2 stitches at the beginning of the row, knit in English ribbing to the marker, remove the marker, slip the knit stitch with the yarn over as a knit stitch onto the right needle, knit the next purl stitch, knit stitch, and yarn over together, then place the slipped stitch and yarn over back onto the knitted stitch. 2 stitches decreased with a left slant. To decrease stitches at the end of the row, knit until 2 stitches remain before the marker, knit the knit stitch, yarn over, and purl stitch together, return the stitch to the left needle and place the next knit stitch and yarn over from the left needle onto it. 2 stitches decreased with a right slant. In total, perform stitch decreases 13 times. 24 stitches remain on the needles. Knit these stitches straight, without decreasing for another 7 rows and place the stitches on a stitch holder. Sleeves Cast on 38 stitches and knit in 2 x 2 ribbing (about 5 cm). Next, starting with a knit row, knit in English ribbing. In the 11th row of English ribbing, increase 2 stitches in the center. To do this, knit 3 knit stitches from the central knit stitch: one through the front loop, one through the back loop, and again through the front loop (2 stitches increased). Increase four stitches in a row every 3 cm in every 7th row, 5 times. Increase 2 stitches in the rows on both sides of the row formed from the stitch increased last time or one row from it. This will change the pattern. If you do not want to break the vertical pattern of English ribbing, increase 2 stitches at the beginning and end of the row. Then knit straight until the total height is 48 cm, bind off 4 stitches on each side and place the stitches on a stitch holder.
