I’m currently having trouble paying through Ravelry, my patterns can be purchased on Boosty (see the link in Source)On this site you pay for the post, it contains a PDF file with the English version of the pattern. I will also send you the pattern via Ravelry so that it will be saved in your library throughout the day. Sorry for the temporary convenience

“Fragrance of Buds” is a sweater with classic fit (~5% positive ease at the bust) and decorative print at the yoke. It is knit mainly top-down in the round with minimal seaming and purling.
Start with circular yoke (flat sideways in garter stitch, using short-rows for shaping and creating the print). Then pick up sts from the yoke, raise the back for a better fit and separate for the body & sleeves. Knit the body top-down in the round. Basic instructions assume straight body, but there is additional guidance on A-line shaping/ tailored fit. In addition, adult sizes №3-14 have instructions for horizontal bust darts (optional, but highly recommended for better fit).
Neckline is decorated with an I-cord (applied along the neck)– either in main or contrast color, based on personal preference or rib 1x1. Hem and cuffs are decorated with rib 1x1

YARN: heavy fingering or sport-weight yarn in 2 contrast colors. The yardage for your size in both color-blocking options is provided in the table.
• Winter content (merino etc.) ~320-350m/350-385yds per 100g/3.5oz.
The sample was knit out of Tweed (400m/437yds per 100g/3.5oz)

NEEDLES:
• Main: 3.5mm/US4 (or size to get stockinette gauge) circulars on a 40-100cm/16-40” cable, depending on the size worked + DPNs for the sleeves, if you prefer them to magic loop (for magic loop take 1 size larger needles);
• Smaller: 3mm/US2.5 (or size to get garter gauge) 60 cm/24” circulars (or straights) for the yoke and same cable length as the main ones for the I-cords.

GAUGE (PER 1010CM/ 44” AFTER WET-BLOCKING)
• Stockinette: 22 stitches by 30 rows – on main needles;
• Garter stitch: 22 stitches by 48 rows – on smaller needles.

SIZING
• 8 children sizes: 1 y.o. (2 y.o., 3-4 y.o. / 5 y.o., 6-7 y.o., 8-9 y.o./ 10-12 y.o., 13-15 y.o) – see bust and height below
