Used Patterns

1 x 1 rib;

Relief pattern: the quantity of sts is multiple 4 + 1 + 2 selvage sts. Work due to the scheme, on which only RS rows are stated, make WS rows and yarn overs as purls. Start with 1 selvage st and sts before pattern repeat A, repeat the pattern A x 5 (6) 7 times, sts between patterns x once, repeat the pattern B x 5 (6) 7 times, finish with sts after pattern repeat B and 1 selvage st.

Note: the quantity of yarn overs should be the same as the quantity of sts knit together or as broachings and vice versa.

Repeat 1^st-8^th rows.

Stitches control: 11 sts x 19 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

Instructions

Back

Cast on 49 (57) 65 sts and make 17 cm of rib between selvage sts, starting and finishing with 1 purl. Then, increase 1 st from both sides = 51 (59) 67 sts and work with relief pattern. In 7,5 cm = 14 rows (9,5 cm = 18 rows) 11,5 cm = 22 rows from rib, increase 1 st from both sides for bat-sleeves, 1 x 1 st in the next 4^th row and 2 x 1 st, 1 x 2 sts, 1 x 3 sts, 2 x 4 sts, 1 x 5 sts, 1 x 8 sts, 1 x 9 sts in every 2^nd row = 129 (137) 145 sts, include the increased sts in relief pattern. In 35 cm = 66 rows (39 cm = 74 rows) 43 cm = 82 rows from rib, bind off all the sts, the central 27 sts form neck-hole, the outer 51 (55) 59 sts from each side – shoulder-sleeves.

Front

Make in the same way, as back, but with V-shape neck-hole. For this, in 17 cm = 32 rows (21 cm = 40 rows), 25 cm = 48 rows from rib, make 1 knit st and 1 cross knit st (selvage st) from the central st, divide your work between these sts and finish both sides separately. For chamfer, knit both sts before selvage st together or both sts after selvage st together as broaching (slip 1 knit st, 1 knit st, draw it through the slipped st) x 14 times from the edge of neck-hole in every 2^nd row.

Assembly

Make shoulder and upper sleeve seams. Fasten the back neck-hole with 1 row of “shrimp stitch” with the help of crochet hook. Cast on 29 (33) 37 sts along the edges of sleeves and make 5 cm of rib, then, bind off the sts due to the ornament. Make side and lower sleeve seams. Insert satin lace in criss-cross in the center of front and make a bow on the waist.
