Instructions

Front and Sleeves

Knit across. For pattern with cable and rhomb, make 1^st-28^th rows x 12 times, then, make 1^st-2^nd rows x once = totally, 333 rows. Start with left half of sleeve. Cast on 32 sts with knitting needles 5,5 and work with the pattern with cable and rhomb: 1 selvage st, 1^st-30^th sts due to the scheme A, 1 selvage st. Increase 1 st in the 7^th row from the initial row from the left side for sleeve chamfer, then, 8 x 1 st in every 8^th row, 2 x 1 st in every 6^th row, 5 x 1 st in every 4^th row, 4 x 1 st in every 4^th row = 52 sts. Include the first 5 increased sts in the pattern with cable and rhomb, the rest 15 sts – in cabled pattern in the 1^st-15^th sts after arrow a. In 52 cm = 112 rows from the set-up row, cast on 89 sts from the left side for front = 141 sts. Include these sts in the cabled pattern, start with the 16^th st – purl before arrow b, repeat the pattern x 5 times, finish with 8 sts after arrow b and 1 selvage st. Knit straight for 13 cm = 38 rows, then, bind off 3 sts for the neck-hole from the right side, 2 x 3 sts and 1 x 2 sts in every 2^nd row = 130 sts. In 9 cm = 19 rows from the beginning of neck-hole, details are made to the front center line. Make the second half of front with right half of sleeve in symmetry to the previously described half. Then, bind off the sts.

Back with Sleeves

At 22 cm height, bind off the sts loosely due to the ornament. Fasten the lower edges of sleeves and pullover with 1 row of “shrimp stitch”.
