Instructions

Back

Cast on 89 sts and make 2 cm of rib. Then, work with stockinette stitch. At 4 cm height from the set-up row, decrease 1 st from both sides, then, decrease 5 x 1 st in every 6^th row. Knit 10 rows straight. Then, increase, 1 st from both sides and 5 x 1 st in every 6^th row. At 37 cm height from the set-up row, bind off 3 sts from both sides for arm-holes, then, decrease 1 x 2 sts and 2 x 1 st in every 2^nd row. At 54 cm height from the set-up row, bind off 31 sts for the neck-hole and finish both sides separately, bind off 1 x 3 sts, 1 x 2 sts in every 2^nd row. Bind off the sts of shoulder in the next 2^nd row.

Front

Make pattern design. Start your work with central circle motif: cast on 8 sts, divide the sts to 4 knitting needles due to the scheme, on which 1/8 part of circle motif is stated. Knit around to the neck-hole (about 14 cm from the beginning of work), then, work with straight and reversed rows. Make 38 rows due to the scheme, then, work with stockinette stitch, make relief pattern from the right side. Make all the other sectors due to the scheme. At the same time, form neck-hole and shoulders, matching with the pattern design. After the 70^th row, repeat 71^st-72^nd rows, make 1 yarn over from both sides of petal top. Make about 32 rows in this way in the center of front (6), about 20 rows (5, 7) from both sides and near arm-holes (4, 80). Work with stockinette stitch between them, matching with the pattern design. Workwithshortenrowsinthebottompart. Make 2 cmofrib.
