BEGINNING OF WORK

SWEATER — GENERAL DESCRIPTION:

The garment is knitted with straight and circular needles of varying lengths — start with the ones that fit the number of stitches, and switch as needed. The front and back are knitted separately, in rows, from bottom to top, then sewn together. The sleeves are knitted from the top down, first in rows, then in the round. They are set into the armholes. The collar is double, folded inward and sewn on.

FRONT:

Cast on 93-99-107-117-129-141 stitches on 4 mm needles (US 6) with DROPS Air yarn. Knit in garter stitch from the right side: 1 edge stitch (garter stitch), 1 knit, 1 purl, repeat from * to * until the last 2 stitches, 1 knit and 1 edge stitch. Continue the ribbing for 6-6-6-7-7-7 cm.

Knit 1 row in knit stitches and evenly decrease 14-14-16-17-19-21 stitches = 79-85-91-100-110-120 stitches. Switch to 5.5 mm needles (US 9). Then stockinette stitch with 1 edge garter on each side.

At a length of 29-30-31-32-33-34 cm, bind off 4-4-5-5-6-6 stitches at the beginning of the next 2 rows = 71-77-81-90-98-108 stitches. Continue decreases along the edges (on the right side, as shown above). Decrease 2 stitches 0-0-0-2-4-6 times and 1 stitch 7-9-10-10-8-8 times on each side = 57-59-61-62-66-68 stitches.

At a length of 42-44-45-47-48-50 cm, place the middle 13-13-13-14-16-16 stitches on a holder for the neckline. Shoulder shaping to be finished separately, performing decreases at the neckline (total of 8 times). You will have 14-15-16-16-17-18 stitches on the shoulder.

Knit 1 row in knit stitches and evenly decrease 14-14-16-17-19-21 stitches = 79-85-91-100-110-120 stitches. Switch to 5.5 mm needles. Then stockinette stitch with edge stitches (garter stitch).

At a length of 29-30-31-32-33-34 cm, bind off 4-4-5-5-6-6 stitches on both sides = 71-77-81-90-98-108 stitches. Further decreases as for the front = 57-59-61-62-66-68 stitches.

At a length of 50-52-54-56-58-60 cm, place the middle 27-27-27-28-30-30 stitches on a holder (neckline). The next row from the neckline — bind off 1 stitch = 14-15-16-16-17-18 stitches on the shoulder. Bind off the stitches at a length of 52-54-56-58-60-62 cm.
