​Melange Brown Pullover

400 (450) 500g of brown-blue mélange Canto yarn (56% polyacryl, 40% sheep wool, 4% silk; 115m/50g);

Crochet hook 6;

Circular knitting needles 4,5.

Used Patterns

Main pattern: the quantity of sts is multiple 6 + 3 + 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. * Make 1^st-12^th rows x once, then, 11^th-12^th rows x 4 times = totally, 20 rows; repeat from *, make sts in every following row as it’s stated in the 21^st row – behind chain st of the previous row.

Pattern for sleeves: make in the same way, as the main pattern, but make 1^st-10^th rows x once, then, repeat 3^rd-10^th rows.

2 x 2 rib.

Stitches control: main pattern: 16 sts x 9 rows = 10 x 10 cm;

Pattern for sleeves: 17 sts x 11 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

Instructions

Back

Make 75 (81) 87 chain sts + 1 chain st increase and work with the main pattern = 12 (13) 14 pattern repeats + 2 initial sts + 1 final st. In 53,5 cm = 48 rows (55,5 cm = 50 rows) 58 cm = 52 rows from the set-up row, leave the central 4 pattern repeats ( 3 + ½ pattern repeat from both sides) for neck-hole and decrease 1 st every time for the symmetry, finish both sides separately. In 55,5 cm = 50 rows (58 cm = 52 rows) 60 cm = 54 rows from the set-up row, finish your work on the rest 26 (29) 32 sts of shoulder from both sides.

Front

Make in the same way, as back, but with deeper neck-hole. For this, in 46,5 cm = 42 rows (49 cm = 44 rows) 51 cm = 46 rows from the set-up row, leave the central 2 pattern repeats (1 + ½ pattern repeat from both sides) and decrease 1 st for the symmetry, leave 2 x ½ pattern repeat in every 2^nd row from inwards for rounding.

Sleeves

Make 41 (47) 53 chain sts + 1 chain st increase and work with pattern for sleeves, make 1 single or double crochet in the beginning and end of every row = 6 (7) 8 pattern repeats + 3 initial and 2 final sts. In 23,5 cm =26 rows (20 cm = 22 rows) 16,5 cm = 18 rows from the set-up row, increase 10 (12) 14 sts for the next 28 (32) 36 rows from both sides for sleeve chamfers, make increases only in the 5^th, 6^th, 9^th or 10^th row and make single or double crochets due to the pattern = 61 (71) 81 sts. Finish in 49 cm = 54 rows from the set-up row.

Assembly

Make shoulder seams. Cast on 108 sts with circular knitting needles, make collar of 22 cm of rib due to the pattern. Sew up the sleeves, connect the middle of sleeves, make side and sleeve seams. Fasten the lower edge and sleeves of pullover with 1 circle row of single crochets and 1 circle row of “shrimp stitch”.
