​Beige Knit Dress

You’ll need:

Straight and circular knitting needles 3;

Crochet hook 3.

Size: S (M).

Used Patterns

Pattern with leaves: the quantity of sts is multiple 24. Work due to the scheme, on which only odd rows are stated, make even rows due to the pattern, cross knit sts – as cross knit st/cross purls, yarn overs – as knit sts/purls. Repeat the pattern. Make *1st-36th rows x once, then, repeat 35th-36th rows x 6 times, repeat from * x twice = 144 rows, then, make 1st-16th rows x once and repeat 15th-16th rows.

Stitches control: 27 sts x 30,5 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

Instructions

Cast on 240 (288) sts with circular knitting needles, circle them in the ring and work with circle rows of pattern with leaves. In 58 cm = 176 rows from the set-up row, divide your work into front and back (120 (144) sts) and start with back. Cast on 12 sts from both sides for sleeves and work on all 144 (168) sts with straight and reversed rows of pattern with leaves. In 73,5 cm = 224 rows (76 cm = 232 rows) from the set-up row, bind off the central 30 (34) sts for neck-hole and finish both sides separately. For smooth rounding, bind off 2 x 4 sts in every 2nd row from inwards. In 75,5 cm = 230 rows (78 cm = 238 rows) from the set-up row, bind off the rest 49 (59) sts. Then, make front in the same way, as back, but with deeper neck-hole. For this, in 71,5 cm = 218 rows (74 cm = 226 rows) from the set-up row, bind off the central 30 (34) sts and 1 x 3 sts, 2 x 2 sts and 1 x 4 sts in every 2^nd row. Make shoulder seams; cast on 108 (116) sts along the neck-hole with circular knitting needles and make 1 WS row with knit sts and bind off the sts as knit sts.

Make sleeve seams. Fasten the arm-holes with 1 row of slip sts with the help of crochet hook.
