Yarn consumption for sizes 42-44 (garment length 58 cm): 6.5 skeins.

Yarn consumption for size 46-48: 7-9 skeins.

Attention! Yarn consumption depends on the length of the garment and the yardage of the yarn.

It is possible to use another yarn provided the gauge matches the sample exactly.

Circular needles 80/100/120 cm – 4 and 5 mm.

Circular needles 40 cm – 5 mm for convenience when knitting the sleeves.

Stitch markers.

2 auxiliary threads of 40 cm, row counter, needle.

Gauge:
10 cm x 10 cm = 17 stitches x 25 rows of stockinette on 5 mm needles, worked in two strands.

Note! The gauge must match the specified one, so before starting work you must knit and wash a swatch. Then count how many stitches fit into 10 cm. If there are more than 17 stitches, switch to thicker needles; if fewer than 17 stitches, switch to thinner needles.

Knitting Instructions.

On circular needles size 4 mm, cast on 84 stitches, join in the round, mark the beginning of knitting with a marker
and knit 11 rounds in the pattern "Ribbing 1x1 in the round".

Then in the last row switch to 5 mm needles from the mark and from the start of the marker, place markers for knitting as follows:

M (start of knitting), 11 stitches (1/2 of back), M, 2 stitches, M, 12 stitches (sleeve), M, 2 stitches, M, 30 stitches (front), M, 2 stitches, M, 12 stitches (sleeve), M, 2 stitches, M, 11 stitches (1/2 of back).

Thus, knitting is divided into 4 parts: 2 sleeves, back, and front.

Raglan Yoke.

Blue arrow - start of knitting

Front - 30 stitches

Back - 22 stitches

Sleeves - 12 stitches each

Raglan lines - 2 stitches each

How to make a universal increase before and after raglan lines:

and continue:

1st round – M (start), 11 knit, YO, M, 2 knit (raglan line), M, 2 knit (1st part of sleeve), turn, 3 purl, M, 2 purl, M, 12 purl, M, 11 purl, YO, M, 2 purl, M, YO, 2 purl (1st part of sleeve), turn, 3 knit, M, 2 knit, M, 12 knit.

On this stage there should be 21 stitches on the sleeves, 36 stitches on the back, and 34 stitches on the front.

The Yoke is completed.

2nd, 4th circular rounds:
all stitches knit, yarn-overs knitted as knit stitches (if knitted as in the photo, through the back loop).

3rd circular round:
M (start), 19 knit, YO, M, 2 knit, M, 23 knit, YO, 2 knit, M, 36 knit, YO, M, 2 knit, M, 23 knit, YO, M, 2 knit, M, 19 knit.

5th circular round:
Introduce Japanese pattern on the front part of the garment.
On the front part 38 stitches.
Add 2 purl stitches from the wrap and 1 knit stitch from the wrap.
It is necessary to knit 3 repeats of the pattern, with 1 purl between repeats = 41 stitches.

M, 20 knit, YO, M, 2 knit, M, YO, 25 knit, YO, M, 2 knit, M, YO, 13 stitches (1st row of the Japanese pattern), M, 1 purl from the wrap, M, 13 stitches (1st row of the pattern), M, 1 purl from wrap, 13 stitches (1st row of the pattern with one knit stitch formed from the wrap), M, N, M, 2 knit, M, N, 25 knit, N, M, 2 knit, M, N, 20 knit.

How to knit a wrap-increase:
slip a stitch onto the left needle from the wrap and knit it through the back loop (through the back stitch) or through the front loop (purl).

6th and all even rows knitted according to the pattern. The Japanese pattern must be worked strictly according to its chart (be sure to mark it with markers). Yarn overs should be knitted as a knit stitch.

7th and all odd rows should also be worked according to the pattern. Make yarn overs before and after the raglan markers.

Until the marker for the start of the Japanese pattern and after it, the pattern "Stockinette stitch" will be worked.

Knit in this manner until the sleeves have 53 (55) 57 (61) stitches, which corresponds to sizes 42 (44) 46 (48).

Next, divide the knitting into two sleeves, back and front.

To do this, starting from the marker after the start of knitting, knit the back stitches up to the raglan marker, knit the raglan stitches and transfer the sleeve stitches to the auxiliary thread. Then make 3 increase stitches (underarm, see Fig. 1), knit 2 stitches of the raglan line and the front stitches, including stitches of the next raglan line. Also transfer the stitches of the second sleeve to the auxiliary thread, make 3 increases (underarm), knit the raglan line stitches, knit the back stitches up to the start of knitting.

Knit in the round according to the pattern to the desired length. After reaching the desired length, switch to 4 mm needles and knit the pattern "Ribbing 1x1" for 10 rows. Bind off the stitches in your preferred way.

Knitting the sleeves.

Cast off 53 (55) 57 (61) stitches of the sleeve from the auxiliary thread onto circular needles,
while lifting the stitches (2 stitches + 3 increases (underarm) + 2 stitches). In total the sleeves should have 60 (62) 64 (68) stitches each.

Be sure to mark the start of knitting (under the underarm area) to divide the work into two equal parts.

Then switch to 4 mm needles and knit the pattern "Ribbing 1x1" for 14 rows.

For size 44:
Knit in the round following the pattern, making decreases at the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 10th, 20th, 30th, 40th, 50th, 60th, 70th, 80th, 90th rows.

Knit in the round following the pattern, making decreases at the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 10th, 20th, 30th, 40th, 50th, 60th, 70th, 80th rows.

Decreases in sleeve knitting:
at the beginning of the row (after the marker = start of knitting) knit two stitches together: the 2nd and 3rd stitches from the start of knitting and the 2nd and 3rd stitches from the end at the end of the row (before the marker).

The second sleeve is knitted in the same way.

Sweater is ready!
