COMPLETING OF THE WORK

BACK

Cast on 87 (99) 111 sts and knit 1 purl row. This series is not taken into account in further calculations.

Then start knitting with openwork pattern A. After 59 cm = 156 r. From the initial row, continue working with openwork pattern B.

For armholes through 14.5 cm = 40 RUR. (11.5 cm = 32 r.) 8.5 cm = 24 r. from changing patterns on both sides, close 1 x 6 p. = 75 (87) 99 p.

Then on every 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th and 11th p.m. pattern, constantly knit both first loops after the edge stitch together, and constantly knit the last two loops before the edge with a slant to the left (= 1 p. slip off as a knit stitch, 1 knit stitch, then pull the removed loop through the knitted one).

For the neck after 28.5 cm = 78 r. from changing patterns, close the average 37 stitches and finish both sides separately.

For rounding along the inner edge of the neck in every 2nd r. close off 1 x 3 p. and 1 x 2 p.

After 31 cm = 86 rub. from changing patterns, close off the remaining 14 (20) 26 stitches of the shoulder.

SLEEVES
