Oversized garter stitch cardigan

Oversized garter stitch cardigan. Pattern

To start working, cast on 80 elements on the knitting needles. Then knit 5-7 cm of fabric with a regular 1x1 elastic band. After that, alternate between front and back circles. Having knitted the desired length of the back, divide the fabric and perform only 30 loops.

The remaining elements are not touched yet. This section is made the same length as the back, but only up to the elastic. Then 7 cm are knitted with this same pattern, as at the very bottom of the product.

After completing the 1x1 elastic, the loops on the knitting needles are closed. The previously untouched 30 loops are knitted in the same way as the previous section. The resulting parts are then placed on the back and sewn from the inside, leaving optimal armholes for the width of the sleeves.

Next, make a plank, picking up elements from the shelves. Then knit an elastic band, as in the beginning. It is then sewn to the neck opening on the back.

After all this is done, the sleeves are knitted. They are made in the same way as the previous parts, starting with the elastic and ending with the garter stitch fabric. The finished sleeves are sewn together on the side on the wrong side and turned inside out. Then they are attached to the previously left holes on the cardigan.

Sleeves can also be knitted in a circle, picking up elements for this directly from the armholes. But work in this way begins with the front surface, finishing it with a 1x1 elastic band. All remaining and protruding threads are eventually hidden from the inside of the product.

Oversized cardigan knitting. Pattern of the front ornament

Yarn overs are made with purl steps. Knitting of the openwork ornament begins with the edge element and steps up to the rapport. Then this section is repeated and steps after it are made. The circle is finished with an edge loop.

The height of the rapport is 20 rows. The elastic of the product is knitted from an even number of elements (edge, front, back, edge). A sample in the form of a 10x10 cm square is equal to 21 loops on 29 circles.

A hollow bar made of 3 elements is made as follows:

Cast on 3 stitches onto the knitting needles and transfer them to the left side of the circular tools.
*On the back side of the product, pull the thread through and tighten it tightly in front of the remaining elements. Then knit 2 front loops, knit the last element of the strip with one previously left, with a left-hand tilt. Then 1 loop is again thrown onto the left knitting needle and repeated from *.
After all is done, the elements of the strip are closed and the thread is hidden.

For the back, cast on 123 loops and knit them crosswise. Then the work is done with the main ornament. Having reached 62 cm, 180 elements are closed. In this case, 17 steps in the middle will make up the neck, and the outer 53 elements will be the shoulders.

For the left shelf, 53 loops are crosswise cast on. Then the main ornament is made. Having knitted the shelf to the required length, the loops are closed. The right part of the front is made similar to the left.

For the sleeves, 60 loops are cast on crosswise. At the same time, their strip is knitted with a rib band up to 5 cm from the bottom. Then its elements are evenly distributed in the last circle, adding 23 elements until 83 loops are formed on the knitting needles. Then a diamond pattern is made. After knitting 120 circles (41.5 cm), the loops are closed.

You can see what the pattern for the openwork cardigan looks like in the picture below.
