How to Knit a Green Sweater: Step-by-Step Guide

Size

Size: S.

Used Patterns

Main pattern: Due to the scheme. Only RS rows are stated on the scheme; make all sts and yarn overs in WS rows as purls.

Instructions

Back

Cast on 83 sts with dark-green yarn. Work with the main pattern, alternating 1 dark-green stripe and 1 green stripe. At 29 cm height from the beginning of work (in 10 stripes), increase 10 x 1 st in every 2^nd row from both sides for forming sleeves = 105 sts, including the increased sts in the common pattern. At 56 cm height from the beginning of work, bind off all the sts.

Front

Make in the same way as the back, but with a square neck-hole. For this, at 40 cm height, bind off the central 37 sts and finish each side separately. At 56 cm height, bind off 33 sts of the shoulder. Finish another side of the neck-hole in symmetry.

Assembly

Make shoulder and side seams. Fasten the lower edge of the work, arm-holes, and neck-hole with 1 row of single crochets and “shrimp stitch” with dark-green yarn.
