DISPLAY 

Note: 
Tunic is made from bottom to top with separate parts, which are then stitched. 

When forming the armhole and the neckline, knit the loops, which are subtracted, with a face finish instead of an openwork pattern.

It is recommended to perform subtractions as follows: 
At the beginning of the front row: 2 knit the loops together with the front one with a tilt to the right; 
At the end of the front row: 2 loops knit together the front with a slope to the left; 
At the beginning of the purl row: 2 knit loops together purl the rear walls; 

At the end of the purl row: 2 knit stitches together purl. 

Back: 
Dial with needles 116 (128, 140, 152, 164) loops.

Adjusting row: 1 front loop (edge), 9 (3, 0, 0, 6) loops of the front surface, 0 (0, last 9, 15, 15) loops of the pattern A, 0 (12, 12, 12, 12) loops figure B, 15 loops of figure A, * 12 loops of figure B, 15 loops of figure A; repeat from * twice, 0 (12, 12, 12, 12) loops of the pattern B, 0 (0, last 9, 15, 15) loops of the pattern A, 9 (3, 0, 0, 6) loops of the front surface, 1 front loop (edge). 
Continue to knit in the prescribed manner, knitting the edge loops with the front satin stitch until the height of the knitting reaches 25.5 (25.5, 26.5, 26.5, 28) cm, finish with the wrong side. 

Waist formation: 
Reduce 1 loop from each edge in the next row and then in each 4 (4, 4, 4, 8) th rows 4 (4, 4, 4, 2) times - on the needles 106 (118, 130, 142, 158) loops.

Continue to knit straight until the height of the knitting reaches 53.5 (52, 53.5, 52, 52) cm, finish with the wrong side. 

Armhole formation: 
At the beginning of the next 2 (2, 2, 2, 4) rows, close 6 loops each. At the beginning of the next 2 rows close 4 loops. At the beginning of the next 0 (4, 4, 4, 4) rows, close 3 loops each. At the beginning of the next 0 (0, 4, 4, 4) rows close 2 loops each. At the beginning and at the end of the next 3 (2, 2, 5, 3) rows close 1 loop each - on the spokes of 80 (82, 86, 92, 100) loops. 

Close all the loops when the height of the armhole reaches 18 (19, 19, 20.5, 21.5) cm. 

Before: 
Knit as a backrest to a height of 53.5 (52, 53.5, 52, 52) cm, finish with the wrong side. 

Forming an armhole and neckline: 

Carry out as for the backrest.

At the same time, using the thread from the second coil, perform a V-shaped neckline in reductions along the center of the front. 

Place the marker in the center of the front. Extreme loops of neckline knit shawl pattern. Reduce 20 (19, 21, 22, 24) loops in each 2nd row from both edges of the neckline: perform a subtraction for the armhole, knit up to 3 loops in front of the central marker, 2 loops knit together the front one with a slope to the right, 1 front loop, attach the thread from the second skein, 1 face loop, 2 knit loops together with the front one with a tilt to the left, knit to the end of the row. 

In the back row knit up to 2 loops in front of the central marker, 1 purl loop, 1 face loop, thread from another skein: 1 face loop, 1 purl loop, knit to the end of the row.

When there are 20 (22, 22, 24, 26) loops on each side, knit further straight until the height of the knitting reaches the height of the back. Close all loops. 

Sleeves: 
Dial the needles 60 (60, 68, 68, 76) loops. 

Installation row: 2 face loops, place a marker, knit pattern C up to 2 last loops, place a marker, 2 face loops. 

Add 1 loop from the broach at both edges in each 6 (6, 8, 5, 6) rows 9 (10, 8, 11, 10) times. Added loops knit pattern. 

Knit directly on 78 (80, 84, 90, 96) loops, until the height of the knitting reaches 20.5 (21.5, 23, 24, 24) cm or other desired length, finish with the wrong side. 

Sleeve back:
Knit as armhole on the back and front. Finish when the needles are 52 (44, 40, 40, 38) loops. Close 4 loops at the beginning of the next 4 (2, 0, 0) times. Close 2 loops at the beginning and reduce 1 loop at the end of the next 8 (6, 8, 8, 6) rows - on the spokes of 12 (18, 16, 16, 20) loops. 

Completion: 
Strike the parts, slightly stretching the bottom edge of the front and back. 

Run shoulder seams. Sew the sleeves in the armhole. Run the seams of the sleeves and side seams, leaving incisions 5-13 cm long at the bottom. 

Thread the ends of the threads. 

Edge trim: 
If desired, trim can be omitted. 

Tie up the bottom edge and the neckline edge with a single crochet or crawl stitch. 

Strike seams knitted tunic.
