​Knit Yellow Top with Relief Pattern

You’ll need:

450 (500)g of yellow yarn (100% cotton; 80m/50g);

Knitting needles 4,5 and 5;

Circular knitting needles 4,5.

Size: S (L).

Used Patterns

Rib: the quantity of sts is odd. Start and finish every row with 1 selvage st. RS rows: * 1 knit st, 1 purl*; WS rows: as sts face; circle rows: *1 knit st, 1 purl*.

Relief wavy pattern: the quantity of sts is multiple 17 + 2 selvage sts. Work due to the scheme, on which RS and WS rows are stated. Start with 1 selvage st, pattern repeat, finish with 1 selvage st. Make 1^st-12^th rows x once, then, repeat 1^st-12^th rows, then, repeat 3^rd-12^th rows.

Stitches control: relief wavy pattern: 23 sts x 23 rows = 10 x 10 cm;

Rib: 24 sts x 26 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

Instructions

Back

Cast on 104 (121) sts with knitting needles 4,5 and make 7 cm with rib for placket. Continue work with relief wavy pattern with knitting needles 5. In 35,5 cm = 82 rows (31,5 cm = 72 rows) from placket, bind off 1 x 3 sts from both sides for arm-holes, then, bind off 3 x 2 sts and 1 x 1 st in every 2^nd row = 84 (101) sts. In 44,5 cm = 102 rows from placket, bind off the central 20 (31) sts for neck-hole and finish both sides separately. For smooth rounding, bind off 2 x 4 sts, 5 x 3 sts, 3 x 2 sts in every 2^nd row. In 54 cm = 124 rows from placket, bind off the rest 3 (6) sts.

Front

Make in the same way, as back, but with deeper neck-hole, in 37,5 cm = 86 rows from placket, bind off the central 12 (23) sts, then, bind off 1 x 4 sts, 1 x 3 sts, 5 x 2 sts in every 2^nd row, * 1 x 1 st, 1 x 2 sts*; repeat from * to * x 4 times, then, bind off 1 x 1 st.

Sleeves

Cast on 68 (86) sts for each sleeve with knitting needles 4,5 and work with rib pattern. In 1 cm = 2 rows from the set-up row, bind off 1 x 3 (4) sts from both sides for sleeve caps, then, bind off 3 x 2 sts in every 2^nd row, * 1 x 1 st and 1 x 2 sts*; repeat from * to * x twice, then, bind off 1 x 3 sts and 1 x 5 sts (1 x 3 sts, 8 x 2 sts, 1 x 3 sts and 1 x 5 sts in every 2^nd row). In 10 cm = 26 rows from the set-up row, bind off the rest 16 (24) sts.

Assembly

Make shoulder seams. Cast on 180 (200) sts along neck-hole and mark 2 sts on the level of shoulder seams. Then, work with rib pattern between these 4 shoulder sts (= 2 sts for each shoulder) and work with rib, at the same time, make the 1^st marked st together with previous knit st in every circle row and make the 2^nd marked st together with the next knit st as broaching. Make side and sleeve seams.
