Knitting as one piece. Cast on a chain of 116 stitches, knit according to the pattern, increasing 1 stitch on each side 9 times in each row = 134 stitches, and continue straight.
At a height of 24 cm, using contrasting yarn, mark 30 stitches for each front piece, 6 stitches for each armhole, and the central 62 stitches for the back. Continue knitting the 30 stitches of the right front piece. At a height of 7 cm from the start of the armhole, bind off 4 stitches for the neck in each row and 7 times 2 stitches.

For the first ruffle, mark 10 cm from both sides of the shoulder seam and knit in this area according to the pattern for 4 rows, decreasing 1 stitch from both sides in each row 4 times. Then knit 1 row, alternating 3 single crochets and 1 picot, and finish knitting. For the second ruffle, mark 5 cm from both sides of the first ruffle.
