Summer cotton blouse with a lace yoke.

 Author's words:

I used about 350 g of Pekhorka Pearl yarn, color 63 Ice, 100 g, 425 m. I knitted with 2 strands, which equals 210 meters per 100 g. 50% cotton, 50% viscose. You can knit such a cardigan from any other yarn of similar yardage, possibly with long sleeves.

The cardigan is knitted to size 46-48. The knitting calculations are based on 2.2 stitches per cm and 3 rows per cm in height.

Cardigan dimensions: length 51 cm, shoulder width 140 cm, torso width 86 cm, sleeve width 32 cm, sleeve length from underarm 10 cm.

Needed for knitting: needles size 2 circulars 40 and 60 cm, needles size 4-3 circular 40 and 60 cm, tapestry needle, contrast yarn.

Cast on circular needles size 2, 40 cm cable. 121 stitches: 120 for knitting and 1 to join in the round.

Knit in ribbing: 1 twisted knit stitch, 1 purl for 4 cm.

Knit in stockinette for another 4 cm, and the total length of the yoke is 24 cm.

Proceed to knitting the back neck short rows. We knit using turning German short rows according to the chart.

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

We knit 86 stitches for the back from the start-of-row marker and slip 62 stitches of the sleeve onto a contrast thread. Pick up 6 underarm stitches and join the back to the front. Knit 90 stitches for the front, slip 62 stitches of the left sleeve and pick up 6 underarm stitches, joining the front to the back.

There are 188 stitches on the needles; knit the body in stockinette stitch to a height of 20 cm.

Then switch to needles size 2 and knit 5 cm in ribbing: 1 twisted knit, 1 purl.

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

Sleeves. Transfer 62 stitches from the contrast thread onto circular needles 3, 40 cm, and pick up 8 more stitches from underarm edges; on the needles there are 70 stitches. Join in the round and knit 3 rounds in stockinette; in rounds 3, 5, 7, 9 decrease by 1 stitch in the center of the underarms. There are 66 stitches on the needles.
