Long openwork cardigan is connected by three different patterns. Binding of the edge is made separately.
The description of knitting a cardigan from designer Deborah Newton is translated from the magazine “Vogue Knitting”.
Classic Elite Yarns (35% wool, 35% linen, 30% alpaca; 125 m / 50 grams in a hank) - 9 (10, 11, 12, 13) hanks.

Armhole formation:
Note: when forming the armhole, do not knit 2 edge loops, extra loops (not enough to include them in the knitting pattern), knit with the front satin stitch.
Close by 5 loops at the beginning of the next 2 rows.
A number of reductions (front): knit 2 loops together with the front one with an inclination to the left, knit according to the pattern up to the last 2 loops, 2 loops to knit together the front one with an inclination to the right.
Repeat these reductions in each 2nd row another 5 (7, 9, 11, 13) times - on the needles 62 (64, 66, 68, 70) loops. The height of the armhole is 19 (20.5, 21.5, 24, 25.5) cm.

Continue to form the bevel of the shoulder, closing 5 (6, 5, 5, 6) loops at the beginning of the next purl row, then close 5 loops (5, 6, 6, 6) from the edge of each shoulder 2 more times, and close 5 loops simultaneously from each edge of the neckline 2 times.

Continue to knit in the prescribed manner, Figure 2, until 5 repeats of the repeat of 10 loops (50 rows total) are connected.
Tie 7 rows with face loops, adding 1 loop in the center of the last purl row - on the needles 42 (48, 48, 54, 54) loops.
Start knitting pattern 3:
Start knitting from the 2nd row of repeat pattern 3.
2nd row (front): 2 front loops (edge), tie the first loop before the second row repeat according to the diagram in Figure 3, repeat 6 (7, 7, 8, 8) times 6 loops of repeating repeat, link the last loop after rapport, 2 front loops (edge).
Continue to knit in the prescribed manner, Figure 2, until the height of the knitting reaches 38 cm.
Formation of neckline:
Row of reductions (face): knit up to the last 2 loops, knit 2 loops together face up with a tilt to the right. Place a marker at the beginning of the neckline in this row.
Repeat these reductions in each 4th row another 15 (16, 15, 14, 14) times, then in each 2nd row another 0 (2, 0, 5, 2) times, at the same time, when the height of knitting reaches the height of knitting back to armhole, start to perform armhole:
Armhole formation:
Next row (front): close 5 loops, knit to the end of the row.
Continue to form a neckline, diminishing 1 loop by tying 2 loops together with the front one with a tilt to the left at the beginning of each facial row, a total of 6 (8, 10, 12, 14) times.
After all formations are completed, knit on the remaining 15 (16, 17, 17, 18) loops, until the height of the armhole reaches 19 (20.5, 21.5, 24, 25.5) cm.
Shoulder bevel formation:
Close 5 (6, 5, 5, 6) loops on the side of the armhole, then 2 times 5 (5, 6, 6, 6) loops.
Right shelf:
Knit as a left shelf, only in a mirror image.

Completion:
