Used Patterns

• Stockinette stitch: in right-side rows - all knit sts, in wrong-side rows - all purls;
• Cable - see scheme 1;
• Relief stripe - see scheme 2;
• Fastening (with the help of crochet hook) - see scheme 3.

Instructions

You should make two same details for your dress - front and back. The only difference is in forming the neck-hole. Dress is made with alternation of relief stripes and gussets with cables in the center. Calculate the quantity of sts, using the sample of pattern. Divide them into 3 relief stripes and 4 gussets: 6 sts of stockinette stitch, * 3 purls, 12 sts - cable, 3 purls, 21 sts - relief pattern*; repeat from * to * twice, 6 knit sts.

Knit in height, crossing cables in every 8th row and knitting the relief cables, repeating 1st-32nd rows. Form side chamfers, decreasing at first sts of stockinette stitch. For this, knit2tog from both sides of details. Then, coming to the waist line, make decreases of purls in gussets in such a way, that all purls are taken out from gussets to 57 cm from bottom part. By this stage, only the sts of relief pattern are left. Knit the upper part due to the pattern design.

Assembly

Make all seams. Don't sew the sides to the end, leave 21 cm for cuts. Fasten the neck-hole and arm-holes according to scheme 3 with the help of a crochet hook.
