COMPLETING OF THE WORK


BACK

On needles No. 6, cast on 62 (66) 72 loops with white thread and knit with an elastic band.

After 8 cm from the starting row, switch to needles No. 7 and knit in garter stitch, alternating the colors of the threads.

After 58 (62) 66 cm from the initial row, close all the loops.

BEFORE

On needles No. 6, cast on 62 (66) 72 loops with white thread and knit with an elastic band.

After 8 cm from the initial row, temporarily leave the loops and knit the left sleeve first.

To do this, cast on 30 stitches on needles No. 6 with white thread and knit with an elastic band.

After 8 cm from the starting row, switch to needles No. 7 and knit in garter stitch, alternating the colors of the threads.

For side bevels of the sleeves in every next 14th r. from the bar, add 4 x 1 p. on both sides and then in each next 12 p. another 3 x 1 p. (in each next 10th row from the bar, add 9 x 1 p. on both sides) in each next 8th row. from the bar, add 9 x 1 p. on both sides and then in each next 6 p. another 2 x 1 p. = 44 (48) 52 p.

After 50 (48) 46 cm from the initial row, close off the first 22 (24) 26 stitches.

Leave the remaining 22 (24) 26 stitches.

Now continue knitting in front: with white thread on knitting needles No. 7, re-cast on 40 (42) 46 stitches and add between 22 (24) 26 sts of the left sleeve and 62 (66) 72 sts of the front belt = 124 (132) 144 sts.

Knit in garter stitch, alternating thread colors, while in the next front row mark the 61st and 64th sts (65th and 68th sts) 71st and 74th sts.

In each subsequent front row, knit the 1st marked loop together with the previous front loop (= slip 1 loop, as in knitting, 1 knit, then pull the slipped loop through it). Knit the 2nd marked stitch together with the next knit stitch.

At the same time, after 16 (18) 20 cm from the left sleeve, close 6 sts for the neckline along the right edge. In each next 2 r. close another 3 x 1 p. and in every next 4 p. another 2 x 1 p.

After 25 (27) 29 cm from the left sleeve the middle of the neckline is reached, from this place knit in a mirror image.

Continue decreasing for bevels until there are 2 stitches left on the needles.

Cast off the last 2 stitches on the next knit row.

The total length of the part is 58 (62) 66 cm.

RIGHT SLEEVE

Knit like the left sleeve.

After 50 (48) 46 cm from the initial row, close off all 44 (48) 52 sts.

ASSEMBLY

Lightly moisten the parts, stretch them according to the dimensions indicated in the pattern and leave until completely dry.

Use a mattress stitch to sew the shoulder seams. Connect the left sleeve to the back with a mattress seam. Connect the right sleeve to the front and back with a mattress seam. Use a mattress stitch to sew the side seams and sleeve seams.

For the neck strap, cast on 56 stitches on circular needles No. 6 along the edge of the neckline on the outside and knit in circular rows with an elastic band. After 6 cm, loosely close the loops according to the drawing.
