Used Patterns

Relief pattern: the quantity of sts is multiple 17 + 2 selvedge sts. Work due to the scheme, on which only RS rows are stated, make WS rows due to the ornament, yarn overs – as purls. Repeat the pattern between selvedge sts. Make 1^st-38^th rows once, 27^th-38^th rows once, 39^th-44^th rows once, 43^rd-44^th rows x 9 times = 74 rows.

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

Stitches control:

Relief pattern: 19 sts x 28,5 rows = 10 x 10 cm;

Stockinette stitch: 19 sts x 29,5 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

Instructions

Back

Cast on 87 sts and work with relief pattern. In 17,5 cm = 50 rows from the set-up edge, bind off 87 sts for fitting and 2 x 1 st in every 12^th row = 81 sts. In 26 cm = 74 rows from the set-up edge, start work with stockinette stitch. In 8cm = 24 rows from the relief pattern, increase 1 st from both sides for side chamfers and 2 x 1 st in every 16^th row = 87 sts. In 25 cm = 74 rows form the relief pattern, bind off 3 sts from both sides for the raglan lines and 27 x 1 st in every row. In 44 cm = 130 rows from the relief pattern, bind off the rest 27 sts for the neck-hole.

Front

Make in the same way, as back, in 15,5 cm = 46 rows from the relief pattern, bind off the central 3 sts and finish both sides separately. For smooth rounding, bind off 2 x 1 st in every 4^th row from the inner edge and at 7,5 cm = 22 rows height, increase 1 st and 1 x 1 st in the next 4^th row. In 25 cm = 74 rows from the relief pattern, bind off 3 sts from both sides for raglan chamfers and 17 x 1 st in every 2^nd row. At the same time, in 26,5 cm = 78 rows from the relief pattern, bind off 5 sts from inner edge for the neck-hole and 1 x 3 sts, 1 x 2 sts, 7 x 1 st in every 2^nd row, 3 x 1 st in every 4^th row. In 37,5 cm = 110 rows from the relief pattern, bind off the rest 2 sts from each side.

Left Sleeve

Cast on 70 sts and work with stockinette stitch. In 2,5 cm = 8 rows from the set-up edge, make raglan chamfer from the right side, as it was previously made for back, and from the left side – as in front. In 15 cm = 44 rows from the set-up edge, bind off 3 sts from the left side for smooth rounding and 2 x 3 sts, 2 x 2 sts, 5 x 1 st in every 2^nd row. In 21,5 cm = 64 rows from the set-up edge, bind off the rest 2 sts.

Right Sleeve

Make in symmetry to the left.
