Instructions

Back

Cast on 83 (91) stitches and make 1 WS row of purls (do not take this row into account). Then, work with the net pattern. For better fitting, bind off 4 x 1 stitch in every 6^th row from both sides = 75 (83) stitches. In 14.5 cm = 30 rows from the set-up row, increase 1 stitch from both sides for chamfers and 3 x 1 stitch in every 8^th (10^th) row = 3 x 1 stitch = 83 (91) stitches, include the increased stitches in the pattern. In 32.5 cm = 68 rows (34.5 cm = 72 rows) from the set-up row, bind off 4 stitches from both sides for arm-holes and 1 x 2 stitches, 2 x 1 stitch in every 2^nd row = 67 (75) stitches. In 52.5 cm = 110 rows (56 cm = 118 rows) from the set-up row, bind off 4 (5) stitches from both sides for shoulder chamfers and 2 x 5 stitches (6 stitches) in every 2^nd row. At the same time, with the 1^st decrease of shoulder, bind off the central 33 (35) stitches for the neck-hole and finish both sides separately. For smooth rounding, bind off 1 x 3 stitches in every 2^nd row. In 54.5 cm = 114 rows (58 cm = 122 rows) from the set-up row, bind off all the stitches.

Left Front

At the same time from the set-up row, increase 1 x 4 stitches, 3 x 3 stitches, 2 x 2 stitches and 1 x 1 stitch in every 2^nd row from the left side, include these stitches in the net pattern. At the same time, make chamfer and better fitting from the right side in the same way as for back = 33 (37) stitches. In 30.5 cm = 64 rows (32.5 cm = 68 rows) from the set-up row, bind off 1 stitch from the left side for neck-hole chamfer and 10 (11) x 1 stitch in every 4^th row. At the same time, make arm-hole and shoulder chamfer in the same way as for back. Finish at the height of back.

Right Front

Make in symmetry to the left front.

Sleeves

Cast on 133 (145) stitches and make 11 cm = 18 rows for ruffles with pattern for ruffles = 45 (49) stitches. Then, work with the net pattern, starting between selvage stitches from the 2^nd stitch of the pattern repeat and repeat the pattern x 10 (11) times. At the same time from ruffle, increase 8 x 1 stitch in every 8^th row from both sides for sleeve chamfers (4 x 1 stitch in every 6^th row and 5 x 1 stitch in every 8^th row) = 61 (67) stitches, include the increased stitches in the pattern. In 34.5 cm = 72 rows from the ruffle, bind off 4 stitches from both sides for sleeve caps and 2 x 2 stitches, 10 x 1 stitch and 2 x 4 stitches in every 2^nd row. In 48.5 cm = 102 rows from ruffle, bind off the remaining 9 (15) stitches.

Make shoulder seams. Sew up the sleeves, and make side and sleeve seams. Cast on 241 (265) stitches with circular knitting needles for back ruffles and make 11 cm = 18 rows of the pattern for ruffles, then bind off the remaining 81 (89) stitches. Sew the ruffle to the lower edge of the back. For lower ruffles of front, cast on 253 (301) stitches and make 11 cm = 18 rows and bind off the remaining 137 (149) stitches.
