Here's a video with detailed analysis knitting leaves
Scheme of leaves with video
Here is a video with knitting such a sweater - size 46, lanagold classic yarn
Well, now, let's get down to the selection of yarn and calculations.
As I see it, this sweater can be knitted from a wide variety of yarns, the main thing is to knit a sample and calculate everything exactly for your yarn, knitting needles and knitting density.
When calculating the amount of sweater needed for this, I started from the information in this post, where the girl has already knitted such a sweater Http://www.stranamam.ru/post/12192503/
So, there was a yarn of 50g - 225m, in two strands, the consumption of 14 skeins (700 grams).
Thus, with a footage of 100 g - 225 m, the total length of the thread is 1575 meters.
Based on this calculation, you canapproximatelyto estimate how much yarn of various sizes we need:
footage 100 g - 175 m (knitting in 1 strand), 50 g - 175 m (knitting in 2 strands) - only 900 g of yarn
footage 100 g - 200 m (knitting in 1 thread), 50 g - 200 m (knitting in 2 threads) - only 800 g of yarn
footage 100 g - 225 m (knitting in 1 strand), 50 g - 225 m (knitting in 2 strands) - only 700 g of yarn
footage 100 g - 250 m (knitting in 1 strand), 50 g - 250 m (knitting in 2 strands) - only 650 g of yarn
footage 100 g - 275 m (knitting in 1 thread), 50 g - 275 m (knitting in 2 threads) - only 600 g of yarn
footage 100 g - 300 m (knitting in 1 thread), 50 g - 300 m (knitting in 2 threads) - only 600 g of yarn
footage 100 g - 450 m (knitting in 2 strands) - only 750 g of yarn
For this sweater I bought Superlambs Special Nako yarn (49% wool 51% acrylic), 100 g - 200 m, the color is like this, 181.
Now calculations
In the photo, the top is my drawingthese are the measurements of the girl on whom the sweater is knitted, size 40-42.
The bottom drawing is already in cm, what a sweater should be, according to my calculations ...
I want to make the elastic band more tight so that it holds a little of the sweater, and it was slouching a little on top. I added 5 cm to the overlap. I calculated the width of the canvas as follows: breast volume + 20% + 2 cm for stitching.
I'm not sure about the neck yet, we will look as we knit.
Now we knit a sample. Girls, I highly recommend doing this! This will help you avoid unnecessary work. Yes, maybe you’re lazy, you don’t want to wait until you knit it, until it dries up ... but have mercy on yourself and your work!
My sample 
After we have washed the sample, we steam it (if the yarn allows) and now you can take measurements. I took measurements in a fixed form, as in the photo, that is, I stretched it a little. I was probably lucky with the yarn, because both before and after the second, the sample sizes are the same.
Further, my calculations of the loops, based on the size of the sample and measurements.
Well, now you can start!
At the bottom I will have a rubber band 2 * 2, then a diagram of leaves on a branch of 3 front loops, the leaves will be parallel to each other, I think that it will be possible to accommodate 3 pairs of leaves. Knitting needles for elastic band No. 4, for the main blade No. 5
Based on the available patterns, and knitting in the video above, I made a diagram of the leaf, slightly increasing it. In the diagram, only the front rows, the purl rows are knitted according to the pattern. The second piece is knitted mirror-like.
Here is my beginning. Having linked one rapport of leaves, I measured it, everything fits with my calculations, so I knit further
I immediately knitted one report, after the end of the leaf I began to knit the second, but it seemed to me that they were too wide apart. Therefore, I began to knit the second leaf on the 33rd row of the pattern (the one I drew with a pen). In the end, it turned out what is in the photo, I liked it so much length 27 cm. 
That's ready before!
I closed the neck according to the diagram below. Since the neck will be tied with an elastic band, then its depth is suitable, well, as I think
The neck of the back was closed according to the same pattern, only the hinges were closed not so deeply, but higher.
I immediately made the sleeve a straight linen, without expansion, but it did not look very beautiful, and it was cramped. Therefore, I made an extension.
For the sleeve, I cast 32 loops and knitted 13 rows with an elastic band. Then add loops up to 45 (27 - rapport, purl 9 on the sides). And we knit three leaves.
And when the fourth sheet begins, its first row, this will be the first row in the following scheme of increments:
We make increases on both sides (near the edge) in the following rows - 3,7,11,15,19,23,27,31,35,37,39,41. We knit a total of 45 rows and close the loops.
The next stage I had was the WTO. I washed the sweater parts in cold water with shampoo, let the excess water drain off and dried on a horizontal surface. Then I steamed off all the parts, especially the edges, because they will need to be stitched.
Sewing two halves of the hangers on top, I began to tie the neck.
Here are links to very beautiful and neat necks, excellent MK
in this article we will look at the patterns and the process of knitting all kinds of knitted leaves. Openwork or volumetric pattern made of leaves will look great on knitted coat or cardigan, hat or scarf, pullover or poncho.
harmoniously and effectively decorate not only knitted clothes, but also blankets, bedspreads and pillow covers that needlewomen knit for the home.
Having mastered knitting with openwork or volumetric deciduous patterns with knitting needles, needlewomen will be able to decorate with them the most different types clothes, as well as accessories and household items.
- although this pattern requires a scheme, and sometimes detailed description knitting, but is enough simple pattern... Even beginner knitters can master it.
"Oak Leaves"
Pattern rapport - twenty eight pieces horizontally, thirteen - vertically.
The scheme contains cells blue... They are not counted. To the required number of loops per pattern (according to the sample), add two edge loops. The diagram shows both the front and back rows, the calculation of the loops on them and the symbols.
Openwork pattern "leaves" 
Report 18 loops and 18 rows. Please note that the diagram contains both front and back rows. Odd - purl, even - facial. Also note that the rows are shown from left to right.
Knitted leaves with needles: openwork pattern for 11 rows
The report includes 12 loops. The diagram shows ONLY front rows. Purl knit according to the pattern.
The pattern requires eleven rows in height. Next is the repetition of the pattern from the first to the eleventh row.
Knitted leaves: embossed branch
Knitted leaves with knitting needles: braid pattern with leaves
The rapport is 16 loops. During operation, the number of loops from row to row will vary.
Knitted leaves with knitting needles: the pattern is repeated from 1-26 rows. Purl rows are knitted according to the pattern.
We also have a good one, perhaps it will be interesting and useful to you.
Fashionable knitted pullover from the autumn-winter collection of 2017 Massimo Dutti (cost 6990 rubles). The pullover is knitted with a pattern of large leaves on the seamy surface.

Garter knitting
Knit in rows in forward and backward directions: front and back rows - front loops.Knitting in a circle: alternately 1 p. front loops, 1 p. purl loops.
Leaves pattern
Knit according to the above scheme in rows in forward and backward directions. Read front rows from right to left. In the purl rows not shown in the diagram, knit the loops according to the pattern, unless otherwise indicated.In the width on the loops of the scheme, knit 1 time.
In height from the 1st to the 42nd river. perform 1 time, then from the 15th to the 42nd p. repeat 3 times, then perform 1 time from the 15th to the 40th p., while in the last rapport, starting from the 27th, do not start a new motive, but knit on medium 5 points (= 2 ., 1 p. Remove, 2 out.) And perform increments (= knit 1 out of the broach. Crossed loop). On the loops between them, knit with garter stitch.
Attention!
In the 40th p. (= purl row) knit 3 sts together with a tilt to the left, not purl, but front. Knit 3 sts together with a tilt to the left: remove 1 st, as in knitting, knit 2 sts together, then pull the removed loop through the knitted ones.
