Instructions
Back
Cast on 138 (155) 172 sts and make 1 WS row of knit sts. This row isn’t taken into account. Then, work with wavy pattern in the stated order for skirt part. In 30 cm = 70 rows from the set-up row, bind off 14 sts from both sides and 5 x 4 sts in every 2nd row = 70 (87) 104 sts. In 34 cm = 80 rows from the set-up row, make the upper part with wavy pattern with white yarn.
At 32,5 cm = 76 rows (29 cm = 68 rows) 25,5 cm = 60 rows, bind off 3 sts from both sides for arm-holes and 1 x 2 sts and 3 x 1 st in every 2nd row = 54 (71) 88 sts. At 47,5 cm = 112 rows, bind off the central 14 (19) 24 sts for the neck-hole and finish both sides separately. For smooth rounding, bind off 2 x 3 sts and 2 x 2 sts in every 2nd row from inwards. At 52 cm height = 122 rows, bind off the rest 10 (16) 22 sts of shoulder from each side.
