"DRESS 'LOTUS' IN THE PERFORMANCE OF IRINA BESPALOVA"

The dress is described as being knitted from angora in two threads, and if I understood the translation correctly, size 9 needles were used, but everyone chooses according to their own yarn. The dress is designed for a bust measurement of 62 cm, and a length of 60 cm.

Cast on 100 stitches, the initial cast on is 100, the pattern repeat is 10 stitches: 7 purl, 3 knit for the leaf, so a total of 10 leaves.
The beginning of the knitting is the neckline, double ribbing, knit 4 rows, in the 5th row knit all stitches knitwise.

Mark all 10 repeats of leaves with markers and knit only 63 stitches of the back, 7 pattern repeats, leave 37 stitches unknitted - this is 3 pattern repeats + another 7 purl stitches.
Knit 63 stitches: 3 knit, 7 purl - repeat 7 times, turn the work.

For the next row, knit as the stitches show, at the end of the row add one stitch, turn the work. Continue knitting for 7 rows, at the end of the rows adding one stitch and turning the work.
Next, incorporate the remaining stitches of the front half and knit in the round, following the pattern.

The pattern repeat for the leaves: 1 knit, yarn over, 1 knit, yarn over, 1 knit, 7 purl.
The leaf itself consists of 5 yarn overs on both sides of the knit stitches.

And this is how to knit double ribbing. For the sample, cast on 32 stitches (the number must be divisible by 2, plus 2 edge stitches) according to the following knitting scheme:
1st row — edge stitch, * knit one stitch knitwise, knit the second purlwise *, edge stitch.
2nd row — * slip the purl stitch, yarn back, knit the knit stitch knitwise *.
3rd row — * knit the knit stitch knitwise, slip the purl stitch, yarn back *.
Explanations: * * repeat the actions between the * symbols.

When casting on stitches for double ribbing, the number of stitches should be doubled (for example: if you need 20 stitches - cast on 40 stitches).
This is all I have been able to find on the internet so far, if there is anything else, I will add it. Let's knit and show the results, I hope together we can do it. I want to knit a Children’s novelty 50/200. Wishing everyone easy and even stitches.
