Instructions

Back

Cast on 80, 92, 104 sts and knit 4 cm of rib. Then, turn to relief pattern. At 37 cm (86 rows), 34,5 cm (80 rows), 32 cm (74 rows) from the rib bind off 5 sts from both sides for arm-holes, 2 sts x 2 and 1 st x 2 in every even row. There are 58, 70, 82 sts left. At 52 cm (120 rows) from the rib bind off the central 18 sts for neck-hole and finish each part separately.

For smooth rounding, bind off 3 sts x 1, 2 sts x 2, 1 st x 1 along the inner edge of every even row. At 57,5 cm (132 rows) from the beginning of the main pattern, bind off the rest 12, 18, 24 sts on each shoulder.

Front

Cast on 80, 92, 104 sts and knit 4 cm with rib, increasing 8 sts in the last row. As a result, you should get 88, 100, 112 sts. Work with them due to the following scheme: 1 selvedge st, 6, 12, 18 sts of relief pattern, 15 sts – triangles A (see the schemes), 12 sts – cables A, 20 sts – cables B (see the schemes), 12 sts cables A, 15 sts – triangles B, 6, 12, 18 sts of relief pattern, 1 selvedge st. Then, make arm-holes, as for the previous detail.

There are 66, 78, 90 sts left. At the same time, at 38 cm (88 rows) from the rib, bind off the central 24 sts for neck-hole and finish each part separately. For smooth rounding, bind off 3 sts x 1, 2 sts x 3, 1 st x1 along the inner edge in every even row. At the size of back, bind off 11, 17, 23 sts on each shoulder.

Assembly

Sew shoulders. Lift 134 sts with circle knitting needles, knit 1,5 cm of rib and bind off the sts due to the ornament. Sew the sides.
