Instructions

Back

Cast on 83 (93) 103 sts and make 4 cm (= 13 rows) with fringe. Then, work with relief pattern. In 36 cm = 102 rows (34 cm = 96 rows) 32 cm = 90 rows from fringe, bind off 3 sts from both sides for arm-holes and 1 x 2 sts and 5 x 1 st in every 2^nd row = 63 (73) 83 sts. In 53 cm (= 148 rows) from fringe, bind off the central 19 (21) 23 sts for neck-hole and finish both sides separately. For smooth rounding, bind off 1 x 3 sts, 1 x 2 sts, 1 x 1 st in every 2^nd row from inwards. In 56 cm (= 158 rows) from fringe, bind off the rest 16 (20) 24 sts of shoulder from each side.

Assembly

Make shoulder seams. Cast on 180 (184) 188 sts with circle knitting needles 3,5 along the neck-hole line and work with rib, make 2 purls in the center of front. At 3 cm collar height, increase 1 st from both sides of 2 central purls of front, then, increase 7 x 1 st in every 2^nd circle row from crossed yarn = 196 (200) 204 sts, include the increased sts in rib pattern. At 6 cm collar height, continue work with circle knitting needles 4 and at 13 cm height, bind off all the sts loosely due to the ornament. Sew up the sleeves, make side and sleeve seams.
