Description of the women's dress knitting

Back and front ; cast on 192 (216) 240 sts with double yarn on long circular needles and join in the round; the beginning of the circular row = right side seam. Then knit with single yarn. For the hem, knit 1.5 cm = 3 circular rows in purl stitch and after that knit in stockinette stitch. After 13 cm = 26 circular rows from the hem, decrease for waist shaping as follows: 16 sts: * 2 (3) 4 knit, knit 2 sts together knitwise, 16 (17) 18 knit, 1 yarn over (= see abbreviations), 2 (3) 4 knit, repeat from * 7 more times = 176 (200) 224 sts.

Repeat these decreases 2 more times every 8th circular row and 2 times every 6th circular row, at which point after each circular row with decreases, knit in each pattern between decreases with 2 sts less, thus the decreases overlap and the distance between them decreases = 112 (136) 160 sts. In the next 5th circular row, decrease as follows: 12 (16) 20 sts:
for size 36/38 * 2 knit, knit 2 sts together knitwise, 6 knit, 1 yarn over, 4 knit, knit 2 sts together knitwise, 10 knit, repeat from * 3 more times:
for size 40/42 * 3 knit, knit 2 sts together knitwise, 7 knit, 1 yarn over, 3 knit, repeat from * 7 more times;
for size 44/46 * 4 knit, knit 2 sts together knitwise, 8 knit, 1 yarn over, 8 knit, knit 2 sts together knitwise, 8 knit, 1 yarn over, 2 knit, knit 2 sts together knitwise, repeat from * 3 more times = 100 (120) 140 sts.

Then knit 2 more circular rows without decreases. After 31 cm = 62 circular rows from the hem, knit 10 cm = 20 circular rows in lace pattern and then continue knitting in stockinette stitch. After 3.5 cm = 7 circular rows from the end of the lace pattern, increase for slopes as follows: mark the middle 2 sts from the beginning of the circular row (= left side seam), then from the beginning of the circular row increase after the 1st st, on both sides of the middle 2 sts and until the last stitch by 1 twisted knit from the transverse thread = 104 (124) 144 sts.

Repeat these increases 2 more times every 6th circular row = 112 (132) 152 sts. After 14 cm = 28 circular rows from the end of the lace pattern, make the armholes: bind off 3 sts knit 50 (60) 70, bind off 6 sts, knit 50 (60) 70 knit and bind off 3 sts. After that, set all stitches aside.

Sleeves: cast on 33 (37) 41 sts with double yarn and then knit with single yarn. For the hem, knit 1.5 cm = 3 rows in purl stitch, starting with 1 purl row. Then knit in stockinette stitch, while for the slopes of the sleeve, increase from the hem on both sides every 4th row 2 (3) 4 x 1 st = 37 (43) 49 sts. After 5 cm = 10 rows (7 cm = 14 rows) 9 cm = 18 rows from the hem, bind off for the armholes on both sides 3 sts and set aside the remaining 31 (37) 43 sts.

Yoke: transfer the stitches of the back, left sleeve, front, and right sleeve onto long circular needles, marking both adjacent edges as raglan stitches; the beginning of the circular row = the back right raglan line. Knit on all 162 (194) 226 sts in circular rows in stockinette stitch, while in the 1st circular row decrease for the raglan slopes 8 sts. For this, before 2 raglan sts make 1 yarn over and after the raglan stitches knit 2 sts together knitwise = 154 (186) 218 sts.

Repeat these decreases 7 more times every 3rd circular row and 1 (4) 7 times every 2nd circular row. If necessary, switch to shorter circular needles. At the height of the yoke 12 cm = 24 circular rows (15 cm = 30 circular rows) 18 cm = 36 circular rows, knit for the hem on the remaining 90 (98) 106 sts for another 2 cm = 4 circular rows in purl garter stitch and bind off all stitches knit.

Assembly: sew the seams at the horizontal edges of the armholes and the seams of the sleeves.
