Tip: take a little time and be sure to tie a pattern to determine the density of knitting, if necessary, change the size of the needles. 

Pattern Notes: 
Step 1: Begin knitting from the upper back, with a hexagonal floral motif, in circular rows, from the center of the flower. When the hexagon is wide enough, the loops of its upper half are moved to the thread — these are the loops of the armhole and neck, and they no longer knit.
Step 2: From the loops remaining on the needles, tie several rows together to extend the sides, form armholes, and add length to the back. Then, dial the loops on each side of the armhole using a temporary set of loops. 
Step 3: Lower back and forehand to knit until the desired length is reached. 
Step 4: Shelves are formed in short rows that are getting shorter and shorter. There are 3 design options depending on the size and desired length. After finishing knitting short rows, finish the edges with a rubber band. 
Step 5: The raglan sleeve is knitted on pending armhole loops and hinges dialed by a temporary set. The sleeve is formed from the neck to the armpits in short rows, then the rest is knitted in circular rows. Sleeves can be made long or short.
Step 6: Close the loop at the edge of the neckline with a cord.

As children cardigan knit "flower" 
Step 1. Knit upper part of the backrest 
on the stocking spokes № dial 4 12 points in the ring with a hook, place the marker at the beginning of the row. 

Knitting a hexagon flower:
Knit 25 (27) 29 (33) 35 (37) 39 (41) krug.r. for a small or large flower (according to your size), using the instructions above. 
Change the spokes on the circular. 

Then we divide the work into the lower part of the cardigan , the sleeves and the neck: 
26 (28) 30 (34) 36 (38) 40 (42) round lane: nakid, 18 (20) 22 (24) 26 (28) 30 (32 ) persons., 1 w; 1 (1) 1 (2) 2 (3) 3 (4) persons., Place the mouth opening marker, 17 (19) 21 (21) 23 (23) 25 (25) persons, place the mouth end marker, 1 ( 1) 1 (2) 2 (3) 3 (4) persons., 1 wear .; * 19 (21) 23 (25) 27 (29) 31 (33) persons., 1 wearout. * 4 times - 120 (132) 144 (156) 168 (180) 192 (204) p.

Remove the marker krug.r., Knit 2 more paragraphs (this circle. P. Turned out to be 2 points longer, it is also the last full circle. Backs, then knit with straight and back rows). 

Put a trail. 19 (21) 23 (26) 28 (31) 33 (36) section on a long thread - these are the loops of the right armhole, remove the marker of the beginning of the neck. Use 2 more threads. Put a trail. 17 (19) 21 (21) 23 (23) 25 (25) section of the neck (up to the neckline marker) on the first thread, remove the marker. Put a trail. 19 (21) 23 (26) 28 (31) 33 (36) n. For the third, this is the left armhole. 
Rotate work. 

Step 2. Forming an armhole. 
Armholes are formed by knitting the loops of only the lower part of the hexagon — the loops that remain on the lower needle. Do not touch the upper part of the hexagon (loop of the armhole and neck, filmed on the thread).

1 row (out. P., A number of ave.): 2 out., Remove the marker; * 1 persons., Nakid, 19 (21) 23 (25) 27 (29) 31 (33) w., Nakid, place a marker (point of addition) * 2 times; 1 persons., Nakid, 9 (21) 23 (25) 27 (29) 31 (33) int., Nakid, 1 persons., 2 extras. - 6 points has increased, it is 71 (77) 83 (89) 95 (101) 107 (113) paragraphs of the bottom part of the cardigan . 
2 row: all the loops knit pattern - persons n. And nakida before. a number - persons., izn. n. - izn., knit 2 n. after the marker, move the marker. 
3 row (izn. R., A number of ave.): 2 ex .; * 1 persons., Nakid, izn. before marker, nakid, retake marker * 2 times; 1 person., Nakid, izn. to the last 3 p., nakid, 1 person., 2 izn. - 6 points added. 
4 row (faces. P.): All the loops knit pattern, knit knit nakida.

Repeat the last 2 rows for another 1 (1) 1 (2) 2 (2) 2 (2) times - 83 (89) 95 (107) 113 (119) 125 (131) p. 

Dial the front armhole loops: 
Do not turn knitting after last persons. R. Using a temporary set of loops, dial 18 (20) 22 (25) 27 (30) 32 (35) paragraph before the right armhole - 101 (109) 117 (132) 140 (149) 157 (166) paragraph total. Rotate knitting 

Next from a row (a row from ave.): 3 persons., (2 izn., 2 persons.) x 2 times, * izn. n. to the marker of increase, nakid, remove the marker, 1 person, nakid * 2 times; out to the end - 4 p. added. 
(From this row, an increase in work in 2 columns only on the back - no longer add at the beginning and end of the row for the armhole)

Do not turn knitting after the last persons. R. Using a temporary set of loops, dial 118 (20) 22 (25) 27 (30) 32 (35) sec. Of the left armhole - 123 (133) 143 (161) 171 (183) 193 (205) sec. Total. 

Step 3. Knit lower back and shelves. 
1 row (faces. P.): 3 out., (2 faces., 2 out.) X 2, the remaining dialed paragraphs knit faces., Then all the loops knit pattern to the last. 11 n., (2 ex., 2 persons.) X 2, 3 ex. 
2 row (izn., A number of pr.): 3 persons., (2 izn., 2 persons.) X 2, * knit izn. before the marker, nakid, remove the marker, 1 person., nakid * 2 times, knit wear. until the last 11 p., (2 persons., 2 ex.) 2 times, 3 persons. - 4 items added. 
3 row (faces. P): all the loops knit pattern, knit knit nakida.

Repeat the last 2 rows of another 0 (2) 3 (1) 2 (5) 8 (10) times for the length as in the diagram, or, if you want to extend the cardigan, tie the desired length minus 2.5 (2.5) 2 , 5 (3) 3 (3) 3 (3) cm from the center of the back - the maximum number of rows is 13 (15) 17 (17) 19 (21) 23 (25), counting from the row where you temporarily dialed n for right front armhole. The width of the shelves at the neck depends on the number of rows. If you tie more than the maximum number, the shelves will be too wide. (if you still want longer, then you can increase the length further) 

Track izn.r. (a number of ave.): 3 persons., (2 external, 2 individuals.) x 2, * knit izn. before the marker, nakid, remove the marker, 1 person., nakid * 2 times, knit wear. until the last 11 p., (2 persons., 2 ex.) 2 times, 3 persons. - 4 items added. 

Step 4. Forming the shelves of a children's cardigan 
Continue to continue the formation of the cardigan in short rows. How you continue depends on whether the product is of sufficient length and whether you have reached the maximum number of rows, counting from the temporary set of the right armhole - 14 (16) 18 (18) 20 (22) 24 (26) rows, after afterbirth. from row. 

Option 1: You have reached the desired length of the cardigan from the center of the back, but have not yet reached the maximum number of rows of shelves. Use this option for sizes from 3 months. up to 6 years, if you repeated 2-3 rows above, or added 6 (4) 4 (8) 8 (4) 0 (-) additional rows.

Option 2: You have reached the maximum number of rows of shelves (i.e. the shelves are fairly wide near the neck), but the desired length has not been reached. Use this option for size for 8 years, or for size 4 (6), if you added 6 (2) extras. row, but the desired length is not reached. Not recommended for small sizes. 

3 variant: You repeated 2-3 rows resulted above, and at the same time, received the necessary length and the maximum quantity of rows of a shelf. Not suitable for size for 8 years. 

Follow the correct option below: (Note: pay attention to how to knit short rows, holes should not form, more here) 

Option 1: 
Use this option if the correct cardigan length has been reached, but you have less than 14 (16) 18 (18) 20 (22) 24 (-) rows on the ledge, counting from the temporary set of the right armhole. (This option is not suitable for size for 8 years - the cardigan will be too short) 

Next, the shelves are knitted separately. Remove 2 markers increase on the back. 

Knit the left shelf Form the 
bottom edge: The shelves are 
not of sufficient width - continue to add width. At the same time forming the bottom edges in short rows. so that the length for the lower back and sides remains the same.

1 short (lits.r.): Knit a pattern to the first nakida before. row, make a cape. Place marker A between the first n. On the left spoke (internal space in the center of the additions on the back) and the next. nakidom. (leave and put on the left knitting needle, this marker will be needed when knitting an elastic band) Turn the work. 
2 short. (Izd.): Nakid, knit on the pattern to the end of row 
3 short. (lits.r.): Knit on the pattern to the 1st n. before nakid pre. p., turn the work. 

Repeating the last 2 rows until it turns out 14 (16) 18 (18) 20 (22) 24 (-) rows from the temporary set of the left armhole. 

We form the central part and the lower edge of the left shelf:
In addition to the formation of the bottom edge, as before, you will gradually reduce the number of loops in the work on the shelf, starting from the neck - thus the width of the neck will remain the same, and you will fill the lower part of the shelf. 

1A short (izr.r.): nakid, knit pattern to the last. 3 p., Turn. 
2A short. (lits.r.): nakid, knit a pattern to the 1st n. before nakid pred.r., turn. 
3A short. (izr.r.): nakid, knit pattern to 2 n. before nakida before.
