Knitting explanation Circular jacket:
Front and back side:
Knit with round-trip rows with circular knitting needles.
Mount on needle 98-104-110 stitches and knit 1 segment with lazy point.
Next you will knit with short rows in the following way:
Row 1 (the front side): 5 stitches lazy stitch, 2 front stitches, Purl 3 stitches, 2 front stitches, Purl 3 stitches, model A.1 (= 10 stitches), Purl 3 stitches, model A.2 (= 10 stitches), Purl 3 stitches, 2 front stitches, 12-18-24 stitches pattern on the edges (see model description), 2 front stitches, Purl 3 stitches, model A.2 (= 10 stitches), Purl 3 stitches, 2 front stitches, Purl 3 stitches, 2 front stitches, 18 stitches lazy point.
It will knit in this way until the narrow part will measure 40-41-43 cm and the wide one 160-164-172 cm. Then, knit 1 segment with lazy point. All stitches are closed.
The second half will knit similarly.

The two circular details sew 58-62 cm on the center (5-meshed side edges next to the torsades, see the picture).
