After all increases, there are 312 stitches on the needles and the length of the yoke after completing the pattern is 14 cm.

We proceed to knit the short rows on the back. We knit with German short rows according to the pattern.

After knitting the short rows, divide the knitting into the front, back, and sleeves according to the pattern.

Knit 48 stitches from the row marker and place 60 sleeve stitches on contrasting thread. Cast on 4 stitches for the underarm and join the back to the front. Knit 98 stitches for the front, place 60 stitches for the left sleeve on contrasting thread, and cast on 4 stitches for the underarm, joining the front to the back.

There are 200 stitches on the needles, knit the body in stockinette stitch to a height of 28 cm.

Then switch to needles № 3 and knit 4 cm in 1x1 ribbing.

Bind off the stitches from the purl side, knitting 2 together knitwise.

Sleeves. Transfer the 60 stitches from the contrasting thread to circular needles № 4, 40 cm and cast on another 6 stitches from the underarm, close the knitting into a circle and knit 7 cm of the sleeve in stockinette stitch with 66 stitches. Then switch to needles № 3 and knit 4 cm in 1x1 ribbing.

The second sleeve is knitted similarly.

Secure the threads well on the reverse side. The sweater is ready.

I recommend washing by hand at a water temperature of 30 degrees using a cotton washing gel.

Dry on a horizontal surface, shaping as needed.
