Instructions

The pattern in the center of the front = 31 sts.

Cast on 170 sts and make 4 rows with 1 x 1 rib.

Make 3.5 pattern repeats in height to the cuts: 3 full pattern repeats and half from bottom and upper parts (70 rows after rib). Knit to the cuts, leave your work.

Sleeves

Cast on 40 sts and make 4 rows with 1 x 1 rib.

Then, work with stockinette stitch: increase the quantity of sts in the 1^st row to 49 sts.

Make 94 rows, increasing the quantity of sts to 63 sts. Increase 2 sts x 7 in the 5^th, 20^th, 35^th, 50^th, 65^th, 75^th, 85^th rows.

Collect the sts (7 sts) for the cuts to the auxiliary needles. Connect the main part with sleeves. Place a marker at the beginning of the row: from the back and left sides. Continue working around for 4 rows. Continue work according to the pattern.

Then, start decreasing sts in raglan lines in a row. The raglan line is 2 sts.

Knit ½ of the pattern repeat. Continue work for 2 rows, replace the sts of cable. Don’t make yarn overs and decreases. Make knit sts above knit sts and purls above purls.

Knit to the marker at the beginning of the row. Cut the yarn. Divide the sts for the neck-hole. Transfer the central st to the auxiliary needle. Join the yarn at the neck-hole line, continue work with straight and reversed rows for 4 rows.

Start making decreases of the neck-hole in a row, knit 2 together with left and right declines.

Knit until the raglan line and the line of neck-hole decreases are connected.

Decrease 1 purl (the 1^st and last sts of the pattern) in the next decreasing row. Continue making raglan decreases.

Continue decreasing sts. For this, change the decline of sts in the neck-hole line. Decrease the sts until there are 7 sts left for each sleeve.

Bind off the sts of the sleeves and back.

Make 28 rows of the pattern from each side of the neck-hole, adding selvedge st for sewing. Selvedge st is made both in RS and WS rows.

Connect the sides. Join the neck-hole to the trim.

Fasten the neck-hole with slip sts using a crochet hook.
