Size 48-50.

The width of the finished women's bomber is 54 cm, and the total length is 56 cm.

Materials:

yarn Alize Cotton Gold (55% cotton, 45% acrylic, 330m/100g) – 250 grams in white color;
needles No. 2 and No. 3.
Back
For the back, cast on 100 stitches with needles No. 2 and knit 25 rows in ribbing *2 knit, 2 purl.*

Change to needles No. 3 and switch to the lace pattern according to the scheme (a total of 7 repeats of 14 stitches, highlighted in bold). In those rows where the stitches cross and there is a double yarn over, the last stitch becomes the first.

1. 



  knit in knit rows.
purl in purl rows.

2.   for the double yarn over knit first as a knit stitch, then as a purl stitch.

3.   knit 2 stitches together with
a right slant.

4.



  knit 2 stitches together with
a left slant.

5. swap 2 stitches
with a right slant.

6.  yarn over.

7. border of the repeat.

I did not knit armholes on the bomber. I knitted a regular dropped armhole.

When you knit 54 cm, divide the stitches for the neckline and shoulders: 35, 30, 35 stitches. To form the neckline, decrease another 3, 1, 1, 1 stitch in every 2nd row. When you decrease 3 stitches, start shaping the shoulder line. To do this, close 12 stitches in every 2nd row.

Front pieces
Cast on 52 stitches and knit in the same way as the back. Simultaneously, on one edge, make a band of 2 stitches in icord (in knit rows, knit them as knit stitches, in purl rows, slip them without knitting).

When you reach a height of 48 cm, for the neckline close 8 stitches, then 7 times 1 stitch each. Shape the shoulder slope similarly.

Sleeves
Cast on 52 stitches. In the last row of the ribbing, add 8 stitches and knit the lace pattern according to the scheme without any further increases for a total of 45 cm.

Assembly
Sew all the pieces together. Along the edge of the neckline, pick up stitches and knit 6 cm in ribbing. Make the first and last 2 stitches in icord. Sew in the zipper.

The prototype for knitting is the lace bomber from Kuchinelli.
