repeat, repeat the repeat, finish with stitches after the repeat and 1 edge stitch. Repeat 1 time
from rows 1 to 20, then from rows 7 to 20. Knitting density: stockinette stitch: 18 stitches and

BACK
Using a crosswise cast on,
cast on 123 (14) stitches and knit in the following sequence: edge stitch, * 11 stitches of
purl stitch, 3 stitches of knit stitch, 10 stitches of purl stitch, repeat from * 4 (5) times,
1 stitch of purl stitch, edge stitch. For waist shaping, after 12 cm = 28 rows from the cast on
edge, evenly decrease 10 (12) stitches as follows: knit together 2 last stitches before and 2
first stitches after each knit stitch section = 113 (135) stitches. Repeat these decreases 3
more times every 26 rows = 83 (99) stitches. At the same time, after 24 cm = 56 rows from the
cast on edge, continue knitting in the following sequence: the first 2 stitches after the edge
stitch in lace pattern B, 4 (5) times the middle 3 stitches of each purl stitch section in lace
pattern A, and the last two stitches before the edge stitch in lace pattern C. After 45 cm = 106
rows from the cast on edge, continue knitting lace pattern over all stitches, transitioning the
knit stitch and lace strip harmoniously into the lace pattern leaf. After 58.5 cm from the cast on
edge, for the armhole, bind off 4 stitches on both sides, then in every 2nd row, bind off 1 time
3 stitches, 2 times 2 stitches, and 2 times 1 stitch, after this in the next 4 rows bind off
1 more time 1 stitch. At a height of 75 (78) cm from the cast on edge, for the neck opening,
bind off the middle 17 (21) stitches and finish each side separately. For rounding off on the inner
edge, bind off in every 2nd row 1 time 3 and 1 time 2 stitches. After 77.5 (80.5) from the cast
on edge, bind off the remaining 14 (20) stitches for the shoulder.
FRONT
Start the same way, but with a deeper
neckline. To do this, already after 63 (66) cm from the cast on edge, bind off the middle 13 (17)
stitches and in every 2nd row, 1 time 2 stitches and 3 times 1 stitch, then in every 4 rows,
bind off 2 times 1 stitch.
SLEEVES
Cast on 43 (53) stitches and for the
cuff 1.5 = 3 rows, knit in purl stitch, starting with 1 purl row and in the last row, evenly
increase by 6 stitches = 49 (59) stitches. Then knit in the following sequence: edge stitch, * 2
stitches in purl stitch, 3 stitches of lace pattern A, repeat from * 8 (10) times, 2 stitches of
purl stitch, edge stitch. At the same time, for the sleeve shaping, increase on both sides of the
cuff in every 2nd row 3 times by 1 purl stitch = 55 (65) stitches. After 3.5 cm from the cuff,
bind off for the armhole on both sides 2 stitches and in every 2nd row 3 times by 1 stitch,
then in every 4th row 3 (2) times by 1 stitch and in every 2nd row 4 (5) times by 1, 1 (2)
times by 2 and 1 time by 3 stitches. After 17 cm from the cuff, bind off the remaining 21 (27)
stitches.
