​Knit Pullover with Lacy Part

You’ll need:

350 (450)g of grey-blue Natura yarn (46% merino wool, 28% bamboo, 12% cotton, 7% alpaca; 100m/50g);

Knitting needle 4,5;

Crochet hook 4,5.

Size: S (M) L.

Used Patterns

Stockinette stitch: in RS row – knit sts, in WS row – purls;

Lace pattern: the quantity of sts is multiple 12 + 11 + 1 chain st increase. Work due to the scheme. Start every row with 1 or 3 chain sts increase instead of the 1^st single or double crochet and sts before pattern repeat, pattern repeat, finish with sts after pattern repeat. Repeat 1^st-5^th rows x once, then, repeat 2^nd-5^th rows.

Stitches control: stockinette stitch: 14 sts x 21 rows = 10 x 10 cm;

Lace pattern: 13 sts x 9,5 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

Instructions

Back

Cast on 64 (77) sts and work with stockinette stitch. In 22 (24) cm from the set-up row, bind off all the sts loosely. Fasten the upper edge with lace pattern, skip 1 st of set-up row in every pattern repeat (i.e. repeat the pattern 4 or 5 times). Finish your work at 30 (32) cm height of lace pattern.

Front

Make in the same way, as back, but in 33 (35) cm from the set-up row, bind off 5 sts from both sides, 1 x 2 sts and 1 x 1 st in every 2^nd row. At the same time with the first decrease, divide your work in half for V-shape neck-hole (bind off the central st) and finish both sides separately. For neck-hole chamfers, bind off 14 x 1 st in every 2^nd row form inwards, i.e., make the 3^rd and 2^nd sts from the end of row as knit2tog and the 2^nd and 3^rd sts from the beginning of row as broaching. In 52 (56) cm from the set-up row, bind off the rest 10 (16) sts from each side.

Left Lace Part of Front

Make 83 (96) chain sts + 1 chain st increase and work with lace pattern. In 6 cm = 4 rows from the set-up row, leave 41 (45,5) cm from the left side for strap. Then, leave 7 x 1 cm in every 2^nd row from left side for neck-hole chamfer. Finish your work in 30 (32) cm from the set-up row.

Right Lace Part of Front

Make in symmetry to the left part.

Sleeves

Make 35 chain sts + 1 chain st increase and work with lace pattern. At the same time from the set-up row, increase 13 (17) x 0,5 cm in every 2^nd row, include the increased sts in the pattern. Finish your work in 54 cm from the set-up row.

Assembly

Make shoulder seams of lace parts, catching 7 (11,5) cm of front shoulder from both sides. Sew up the sleeves, make side seams, put the lace parts of front upon the parts of stockinette stitch, catching both sides. Fasten the edges of lace parts of front and back neck-hole with 1 row of single crochets. Fasten the bottom part with 1 round of single crochets and shells.
