CONSTRUCTION OF THE MODEL
Our knitting style will be top-down. In other words, we will knit both the sleeves and the body in the round with 6.5mm circular needles. We will start from the neck, make raglan increases in the sleeves, and knit down to the hem without any seams.
DIAGRAM-1
1. Cast on:
- Cast on 64 stitches with color 8307 on the 6.5mm circular needles and knit a 20 cm neckband using the 2x2 ribbing technique.
2. Increases (First Row)
- In the first row, increase 10 stitches (1 stitch every 6 stitches) using the invisible increase method.
3. Increases (Second Row)
- In the second row, increase 12 stitches (1 stitch every 6 rows) using the invisible increase method, giving us a total of 86 stitches.
4. Separate Stitches:
- Separate the stitches as shown in DIAGRAM-1. As per the numbers in the diagram, we will separate the stitches with stitch markers. First, place a total of 8 markers on the raglan stitches: 4 on the sleeves, one before and one after each raglan stitch.
- Since we are knitting in the round, the entire piece will be knitted in stockinette stitch. To prevent confusion with the increase rows and directions, we will place 2 markers at the back center. During rows with increases, the two markers will be placed, while in rows without increases, only one marker will be placed to help us knit the piece in a controlled manner. Every time we reach a marker, it will signal the end of a row, and we will proceed to the next row
5.Raglan Increases:
- At the back center, with the 2 markers in place, in one row we will increase 8 stitches at the front and back of all raglan points with an invisible increase.
- In the next row, with one marker placed at the back shoulder, wewill knit without any increases, continuing in stockinette stitch. That is, we will knit one row with increases and the next without any increases or decreases.
- Continue increasing along the raglan lines in stockinette stitch with color 8307 until the raglan lines reach 28 cm. Once the raglan increases reach 28 cm, we will separate the sleeves. Transfer the sleeve stitches, including the raglan stitches, to a helper thread and set them aside.
KNITTING THE BODY
1. Switching to Color 8303:
- Now, we will knit the body. In the yoke section, with color 8307, we will finish the 3rd pattern. After completing the pattern, cut color 8307 and replace it with color 8303.
2. First Row of the Body:
- For the first row of the body, knit the back section with color 8303, then add 6 stitches under the armpits and knit the front section. After that, add 6 more stitches for the second armpit. Complete the back section and, in total, increase 12 stitches in this first body row, including the armpits.
3. Knit 10 cm:
- Now, knit for 10 cm without any increases or decreases.
4. Decreases (First Round):
- After knitting the first 10 cm, decrease 1 stitch on both the front and back from both sides, for a total of 4 stitches, and continue knitting for another 10 cm.
5. Decreases (Second Round):
- In the second 10 cm section, decrease 1 stitch on both the front and back from both sides again, for a total of 4 stitches, and continue knitting. We will perform decreases 3 times in total, reducing 12 stitches as we knit downwards.
6. Switching to Color 8308:
- After knitting 20 cm, cut color 8303 and replace it with color 8308. Knit for 12 cm in stockinette stitch, then knit a 2x2 ribbing for 10 cm and close the body.
KNITTING THE SLEEVES KNITTING THE SLEEVES
1. Prepare the Sleeve:
- Transfer one of the separated sleeves to the circular needles and add 6 stitches under the armpit. Knit the sleeve in the round. For every 5 cm, decrease 2 stitches, one on the front and one on the back.
2. Switching to Color 8308 for the Sleeve:
- After knitting 20 cm with color 8303, cut the color and replace it with color 8308. Knit 17 cm in stockinette stitch, then knit a 2x2 ribbing for 5 cm.
3. Thumb Hole:
- At this point, leave a hole for the thumb on the ribbing section. Decrease 2 stitches in the thumb direction and knit back and forth for 3 cm in ribbing. After that, increase 2 stitches at the decrease point and continue knitting the ribbing for 5 cm in the round to complete the sleeve.
4. Repeat for the Other Sleeve:
- Knit the other sleeve the same way and finish the model without seams.
