• Then you need to connect the squares of the back and front shelves, as shown in the pattern, leaving room for the neck.

Continue working with the same pattern, but knit along the back and front part, first on one side, then on the other. In the course of work, you need to check with the pattern

When the main parts are finished, go to knitting the sleeves without breaking the thread, knit at an average of 53-59 cm according to the pattern. Then make side seams and sleeve seams. At the bottom and along the edges of the shelves, tie in four rows with a pattern according to the A3 scheme

To create this cardigan, you need to prepare:

1. Yarn in two shades. For example, cotton DROPS SAFRAN from Garnstudio was used with a footage of 160 m by 50 g. You need to take 350-400-450-500 g of a gray-blue tint and 50 g for all sizes - white.

Then knit a yoke with a pattern in the following sequence: 21-24-24-27 loops according to the diagram A1 (left shelf), then A2, A1 over 12 air loops (4 repetitions of the rapport), A3, A1 over 12 air loops (4 repetitions of the rapport), A2 over 2 air loops (left sleeve), A1 over 42-45-48-51-51 loops (14-15-16-17-17 repetitions of the rapport) - this is the back detail, A2 over 2 loops, A1 over 12 loops (4 reps of rapport), A3, A1 over 12 loops (4 reps of rapport), A2 (this is the right sleeve), end with A1 over 21-24-24-27-27 loops (7-8-8-9-9 reps rapport). This is the right shelf

• At the same time, every 2 rows, alternate the thread, changing it to white.
• When the yoke is knitted (approximately 27-29-30-32-34 cm), hang markers to separate the details of the back, shelves and sleeves. Leave the parts of the sleeves, continue working in a circle in straight and reverse rows on the details of the back and shelves with the same pattern without alternating the color of the thread, using only the main color. Knit according to the pattern.

• Then finish off the sleeves. Sew undercut seams.
• Tie along the neck and edges of the shelves with several rows of ordinary single crochet posts. At the same time, make loops on the right shelf. It remains to sew on the buttons - and the cardigan is ready.
