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

Ammonite 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. Hem and cuffs are decorated with an I-cord

YARN: Aran-weight yarn. You can choose for winter yarn content:
• Winter content (merino etc.) ~220-250m/241-273yds per 100g/3.5oz.
The sample was knit out of Noro Silk Garden (220m/241yds per 100g/3.5oz)
For example you can use Schoppel-Wolle Zauberball® Crazy in 2 additions

NEEDLES:
• Main: 4.5mm/US7 (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.
NOTIONS: waste yarn, crochet hook, stitch markers, stitch holders, row counter, tape measure, tapestry needle, scissors
