This is a diagram for dividing the finished round yoke into parts: front, back, sleeves. It is knitted from top to bottom.
After knitting the yoke according to diagram 2 (the second image), the product is divided into 4 parts, and stitches are added under the arms to continue knitting the body.

Explanations for the text in the diagram

• About the bust:
  In this model, the division into parts goes quite low, the round part is still in the shape of a semicircle, so it is difficult to take measurements on the bust.
  It is usually recommended to knit to the specified place, mark it, and try it on.
  If the circumference is insufficient, you can add one rapport of the pattern on the left and right sides of the underarms, as shown in the diagram.

• Option A (as in the picture):
  Sample size: a total of 13 rapports (6 on the left and right + 1 in the center of the back). One rapport is added under the arm 1 rapport.

• Option B (for a larger circumference):
  If the bust is tight, you can divide the front and back into 14 rapports (6.5 + 1 + 6.5), adding 2 rapports under the arms.
  Then:

  • Sleeve = 0.5 + 9 + 0.5 + 2 (underarm) = 12 rapports

  • Bust = 6.5 + 1 + 6.5 + 2 (underarm) = 16 rapports

Description
This is a diagram for knitting the yoke from row 1 to row 37. It is knitted in a circle, from top to bottom.

Explanations for the text in the diagram:

5. As shown in the drawing, knit to row 37. Note that the sample is knitted in a circle. The beginning of each round connects at the specified place (red dot), but you can choose a convenient place yourself.

6. After row 37, each large rapport of the pattern consists of 4 diamond-shaped motifs, and there will be a total of 48 such motifs in the circle.

Features of the diagram:

• One rapport of the pattern = 13 stitches.

• The red numbers on the side — row numbers (1 at the bottom → 37 at the top).

• Legend:

  • Oval — chain stitch

  • Slash line — double crochet

  • Groups of several double crochets — fan or fluffy element of the pattern

This is the third part of the same instruction — finishing the neckline and starting to knit the body of the product.

📌 Translation and explanations for the diagram

Topic: Edging the neckline

3. After completing the yoke along the inner edge of the neckline, knit one round of "picot" (points) — this will be the edging. Then cut the yarn.

4. As shown in the diagram (the first row section is highlighted in blue), attach the yarn at the indicated place (the connection point is marked with a red arrow), then knit the pattern in a circle, as in the diagram.

   • In one round — 12 rapports of the pattern.

Additional note (red text below):

• The first row is marked in blue on the diagram.

• From this row onward, the entire pattern is knitted in a circle, without turns.

• You can adjust the placement of the row start as you see fit.

• If knitting in a circle, the pattern will be even; with back-and-forth knitting, noticeable diagonals will appear on the slanted sections.

• On the yoke, the slant is not visible, but on the straight parts (for example, at the bottom of the sleeve), it is more noticeable. After washing, it may become less visible.

• It is recommended to knit the yoke in a circle, while straight parts (the bottom of the sleeve) can be knitted in back-and-forth rows.

What is shown in the diagram:

• The upper part — this is the completed yoke.

• In pink is marked the "picot" row along the edge of the neckline.

• In blue — the first row of the pattern after attaching the yarn to knit the body of the product.

Sleeve (袖口 — cuff/sleeve)

• Knitting begins from the line under the arm (marked with a green arrow «腋下排花» — «pattern placement under the arm») — this corresponds to the place where stitches are added for the underarm in the first diagram.

• The diagram covers rows from 37 to 94 (the upper part of the sleeve, from the underarm to the bottom).

• At the bottom right, there is a separate small diagram for edging the sleeve:

  • After 14 rows of the pattern (according to the main diagram), one row of "picot" (points) is performed, and the knitting ends.

• Red note: pay attention to tension when knitting three stitches in the shaded parts of the diagram, so that the fabric does not pucker.

How to read the diagram:

• Red elements — these are double crochets and groups of stitches.

• Blue — chain stitches.

• The symbols are the same as in the yoke diagram (the second picture you sent).

• The black dashed line in the middle shows the symmetry of the pattern.

Finished product size:

• Length: about 58 cm

• Bust circumference: about 90 cm

Tools and materials:

• Hook: approximately 2.5 mm

• Yarn: Snow Queen 天丝亚麻 (silk with linen) in white, 9 skeins

Important:

• For this model, you should use a slightly larger hook than usual.

• Especially do not knit the cuffs tightly, otherwise the pattern will pucker and bunch up.

In the left picture it shows:

• The division line between the sleeve and the body of the product

• The density of the pattern

Note:

• For the bust: it is better to be slightly larger than smaller.

• For the pattern: it is better to be looser than too tight.

Under no circumstances knit tightly!
