Instructions
Back
Make 77 chain sts + 3 chain sts increase and work with the main pattern for 39 rows.
Make each shoulder (22 sts) separately in the 40th row, leaving the central 33 sts for the neck-hole. Then, cast on 77 sts with straight knitting needles and work with stockinette stitch. Increase 11 sts in the 2nd row by making yarn over in every 7 sts. After that, make 40 rows straight and bind off the sts.Front
Make in the same way as the back, but with a deeper neck-hole. For this, start making each shoulder separately in the 39th row.
Sleeves
Make a pattern design in natural size before you start working. Make shoulder seams. Create 1 row of single crochets, the length equal to the width of the sleeve (about 77 single crochets). Work with the main pattern, making decreases for the sleeve chamfers due to the pattern design. In 10 rows from the beginning of the sleeve, cast on 38 sts along the edge and make 10 rows of 2 x 2 rib. Make all the sts as purls in the 11th row, and then work 10 rows with 2 x 2 rib and bind off the sts.
Assembly
Fasten the neck-hole with 1 row of single crochets. Then, cast on 76 sts along the neck-hole with circular knitting needles and create a collar with a 2 x 2 rib of 10 cm height. Make 3 fringes according to scheme 2 along the bottom edge of the dress: 2 fringes 12 cm height and 1 fringe – 6 cm height. Position the first fringe along the line of the bottom connection, and the second and third fringes with a 7 cm interval. Finally, fasten the bottom edge of every fringe with 1 row of single crochets.
