Instructions
Front
Cast on 85 sts and make 3 rows of 2 x 1 rib (*2 knit sts, 1 purl*). Continue work, making 7 rows of stockinette stitch followed by 1 row of wrong-side pattern. At a height of 9 cm, bind off the central 25 sts and continue work, decreasing 1 st from inwards in every RS and WS row until there are 23 sts left from each side.
Knit straight for 8 cm. After that, work, increasing 1 st in every RS and WS row from inwards until there are 30 sts from each side. Cast on 25 extra sts in the middle and bind off 3 sts, 2 sts, and 1 st from each side for the arm-hole. At a height of 18 cm, make 4 rows of 2 x 1 rib for the neck-hole and bind off all sts.Back
Start your work in the same manner as for the front. Knit by making 7 rows of stockinette stitch followed by 1 row of wrong-side pattern. Make arm-holes in the same way as for the front.
Sleeves
Cast on 75 sts and make 3 rows of 2 x 1 rib. Continue work with 7 rows of stockinette stitch and 1 row of wrong-side pattern. Decrease 1 st after and before 1 selvage st until there are 68 sts on the knitting needles. At a height of 34 cm, bind off 10 sts from each side for the sleeve cap, and then bind off all the remaining sts in the center to finish your work.
Tree
Make 33 double crochets along the lower edge of the round hole and continue work according to the scheme. Make branches of treble and triple crochets and join them to the edges of the hole.
