Sample:

To correctly determine your knitting density, it is recommended to knit a sample with the main "Waves" pattern. For this, cast on 35 stitches on needles No. 6 and knit 40 rows of the "Waves" pattern according to the chart. A sample of 35 stitches — 25 cm, 40 rows (measure in the center) — 14 cm

Decrease 3 times in every second row, then decrease in every fourth row.

After 50/52/52 rows from the beginning of the raglan slope, set the remaining stitches aside on a spare needle.

Back:

Cast on 55/57/61 stitches depending on your size. Knit in the patent pattern. After 66 rows, start decreasing for the raglan slope. To do this, decrease stitches by knitting together purl the third and fourth stitches from each edge.
Decrease 3 times in every second row, then decrease in every fourth row.
After 50/52/52 rows from the beginning of the raglan slope, set the remaining stitches aside on a spare needle.

Sleeves:

On needles No. 3.5, cast on 39/43/43 stitches depending on your size. Knit 2 rows of simple ribbing 1x1.

Then switch to needles No. 6 and knit 2 rows in the patent pattern.

Continue knitting:

• For size S: edge, 3 stitches in the patent pattern, 31 stitches in the "Waves" pattern, 3 stitches in the patent pattern, edge.

• For size M / L: edge, 5 stitches in the patent pattern, 31 stitches in the "Waves" pattern, 5 stitches in the patent pattern, edge.

After 40 rows, increase by 1 stitch on each side, in the patent pattern. And then continue to increase evenly by 1 stitch on each side in the patent pattern.

After 84 rows, start decreasing for the raglan slope. To do this, decrease stitches by knitting together purl the third and fourth stitches from each edge.
Decrease 3 times in every second row, then decrease in every fourth row.

After 50/52/52 rows from the beginning of the raglan slope, set the remaining stitches aside on a spare needle.

Knit the second sleeve in the same way.

If the density does not match, you need to use needles of a different size, depending on your knitting density.
