Knitting description:

The pullover is knitted in one piece over the shoulders, starting from the back. The triangles and rectangles marked in gray are knitted with Grunmeliert yarn, all others with Gelbmeliert yarn. The ribbing is knitted afterwards.

Using Grunmeliert yarn, cast on 48 stitches and initially knit the main triangles as follows: * knit 2 purl stitches, turn, knit 2 knit stitches, turn; knit 2 purl stitches, then knit the next stitch of the cast-on edge = 3 stitches, turn, knit 3 knit stitches, turn, knit 3 purl stitches, then knit the next stitch of the cast-on edge = 4 stitches, turn, knit 4 knit stitches, turn.

Continue knitting in the same manner until there are 12 stitches on the right needle. Turn, knit 12 knit stitches, turn, and knit 12 purl stitches. Then do not turn, but set aside these 12 stitches and knit the next 3 stitches of the triangle in the same way as *.

Now knit the 1st row of rectangles. It starts on the right side of the work. Start with the initial triangle: knit the first 2 stitches of the last main triangle as knit stitches, turn, knit 2 purl stitches, turn. Knit 1 knit stitch, increase 1 stitch (knit twisted from the transverse thread), make 1 yarn over (= slip the last stitch as knit, knit 1 stitch of the main triangle knit, and yarn over the slipped stitch), turn, slip 1 stitch purlwise (yarn in front of the work), knit 2 purl stitches, turn; knit 1 knit stitch, increase 1 stitch, knit 1 knit stitch, make 1 yarn over, turn, slip 1 stitch purlwise, knit 3 purl stitches, continue knitting in the same manner, i.e., on the right side of the work, at the beginning of the row, increase 1 stitch, at the end make a yarn over until there are 12 stitches on the needle and all stitches of the 1st main triangle are used. Then do not turn.

Next, knit the rectangle: from the side edge of the next main triangle, knit 12 stitches, turn, knit 12 purl stitches, turn, and knit 11 knit stitches, 1 yarn over (= slip the 12th stitch of the rectangle as knit, knit 1 stitch of the main triangle knit and yarn over the slipped stitch), turn, slip 1 stitch purlwise (yarn in front of the work), knit 11 purl stitches, 1 yarn over, turn, slip 1 stitch purlwise, knit 11 purl stitches, turn. Continue knitting in the same manner until all 12 stitches of the main triangle are used. Then do not turn, knit the 12 set-aside stitches and knit the next 2 rectangles in the same manner.

For the final triangle from the side edge of the main triangle, knit 12 stitches, turn, knit 12 purl stitches, turn, knit 10 knit stitches, knit 2 stitches together knit, turn, knit 11 purl stitches, turn, knit 9 knit stitches, knit the last 2 stitches together knit, turn, knit 10 purl stitches, turn. Continue knitting in the same manner until there is 1 stitch left on the needle.

Now knit the 2nd row of rectangles, it starts and ends on the purl side of the work with the rectangle. For this, turn the work, slip 1 stitch (the stitch of the final triangle) purlwise, then from the side edge of the corner triangle, knit 11 stitches = 12 stitches.

Turn, knit 12 knit stitches, turn, * knit 11 purl stitches, then knit 2 stitches together purlwise (= the 12th stitch with the next stitch of the rectangle of the 1st row), turn, slip 1 stitch purlwise (yarn behind the work), knit 11 knit stitches, turn, then repeat from * until all stitches of the rectangle are used. Do not turn and set aside 12 stitches.

For the 2nd rectangle, from the side edge of the next rectangle, knit 12 stitches, turn, knit 12 knit stitches, turn, then knit from * as the previous rectangle.

Continue knitting the following rectangles in the same manner.
Now knit with Gelbmeliert yarn. Knit the 3rd row of rectangles one more time, then for the 1st sleeve recast 24 stitches and on these stitches knit 2 main triangles, including 4 rectangles.

For the second sleeve with a separate yarn, recast 24 stitches, then with the yarn of the pullover and on these stitches again knit 2 main triangles = 8 triangles/rectangles.
Now knit 3 more rows of rectangles on all stitches. In the next row, it is knitted from left to right, knit the first 3 rectangles as before, on the next 2 triangles for the neckline knit 2 final triangles.

For this, slip 1 stitch purlwise, then from the side edge of the next rectangle, knit 12 stitches * turn, knit 12 knit stitches, turn, knit 11 purl stitches, knit 2 stitches together purlwise (= the 12th stitch of the triangle with the next stitch of the triangle in the bottom row), turn, slip 1 stitch purlwise (yarn behind the work), knit 9 knit stitches, knit 2 stitches together knit = 11 stitches, turn, knit 10 purl stitches, knit 2 stitches together purlwise, turn, slip 1 stitch purlwise, knit 8 knit stitches, knit 2 stitches together knit = 10 stitches, turn, knit 9 purl stitches, knit 2 stitches together purlwise, turn.

Now knit in the same manner, i.e., on the purl side, knit the last stitch of the triangle together with the next stitch of the rectangle purlwise; on the knit side, knit the last 2 stitches together knit. In the last purl row, knit 2 stitches together purlwise, then from the side edge of the next rectangle, knit 11 stitches = 12 stitches. Repeat from * again. After the 2nd final
triangle, knit 3 more triangles, then set the work aside.

Now for the neckline of the front part, recast 24 stitches and knit 2 main triangles, then place these 2 triangles in the middle of the work.
Finish the front part symmetrically. That is, knit 3 rows of rectangles (with the initial triangles) on all stitches, then for the sleeves on both sides
knit 2 final triangles, the middle 4 rectangles knit as before.
