Straight knitting needles 5 and 6;

Circular knitting needles 5.

The quantity of stitches is multiple 4 + 2 selvage stitches. Start and finish every row with 1 selvage stitch.

RS row: * 1 knit stitch, 2 purls, 1 knit stitch*; repeat from * to *;

WS row: due to the pattern.

Wrong-side pattern: in RS row – purls, in WS rows – knit stitches;

Stockinette stitch: in RS row – knit stitches, in WS rows – purls.

Pattern of Relief Stripes:

The quantity of stitches is even. Start and finish every row with 1 selvage stitch.

1st and 2nd rows: wrong-side pattern;

3rd and 4th rows: stockinette stitch;

5th row: * knit 2 together, 1 yarn over*; repeat from * to *;

6th row: all stitches and yarn overs as purls;

Repeat 1st-8th rows.

Shorten Rows:

Knit to the last 12 stitches in the 3rd row of pattern of relief stripes, turn with 1 yarn over and knit according to the pattern to the last 12 stitches of WS row, then turn with 1 yarn over again and make the next 2 rows on all the stitches to the edge, making yarn overs together with the next stitch according to the pattern. Knit to the last 24 stitches in the 7th row of pattern of relief stripes, turn with 1 yarn over and work according to the pattern to the last 24 stitches of WS row, then turn with 1 yarn over again and make the next 2 rows on all the stitches to the edge, making yarn overs together with the next stitch according to the pattern.

Stitches Control:

15 stitches x 26 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

Instructions:

Back:

Cast on 78 stitches in criss-cross method with knitting needles 5 and make 10 cm of rib. Then, change to knitting needles 6 and work with the pattern of relief stripes. In 15.5 cm = 40 rows from rib, cast on 24 stitches for sleeves from both sides = 126 stitches and include them in the pattern. At the same time with the beginning of sleeves, work with shorten rows: * 2 rows on all the stitches, 2 rows of the central 102 stitches, 2 rows on all the stitches, 2 rows on the central 78 stitches*; repeat from * to * 10 times, then, make 2 rows of wrong-side pattern on all the stitches. In 50 cm = 130 rows from rib or at 17.5 cm = 46 rows of sleeves height, leave all the stitches; the central 46 stitches form the neck-hole, and the outer 40 stitches from each side form the shoulders/sleeves.

Front:

Make the same way as back.

Assembly:

Make shoulder seams with kitchener’s stitch. Transfer the previously left 92 stitches of neck-hole to circular knitting needles, make 1 circle row of purls, and bind off all the stitches loosely as purls. Cast on 46 stitches along both sides of sleeves with circular knitting needles, make 1 WS row of knit stitches, and bind off the stitches as purls. Make side and sleeve seams.
