Patterns and schemes 

Double - sided knitting. Two 
-sided knitting differs: a regular loop and a double loop = 1 n. In the front and 1 n. In the back. 

If it is stated: knit 3 double loops, it means that you need to knit 1 item in front and 1 item in back 3 times (= 6 item).

Carefully read the instructions, paying particular attention to which loop we are talking about - ordinary or double. 

Pattern of points 
Knit on the scheme. 

Floral pattern 
Knit according to the scheme. 

Pattern of stripes 
Knit alternately 2 dark and 6 light loops. Determine according to the pattern where the pattern for your size begins: 

size XS: marked in purple color 

size S: marked in green 

size M: marked in yellow 

size L: marked in orange 

size XL: marked in turquoise in 

size XXL: marked in red. 

For a test sample of a pattern, dial 28 double loops + 2 edge loops and knit:

1st row: 1 persons. in 2 threads, * 6 double loops with color B, 2 double loops with color A *, repeat from * to * 3 times, 4 double loops with color B, 1 person. in 2 threads. 

2nd row: remove 1 p., As in purl knitting, thread before work, 4 double loops in color A, * 2 double loops in color B, 6 double loops in color A *, repeat from * to * 3 times, 1 face. in 2 threads. 

Repeat the 1st and 2nd rows, remove the first loop, as if with a knit, knit the last loop for 1 person. in 2 threads. 

Hem loop 
In double sided knitting, a double hem loop is performed.

At the end of the row: when 1 p. On the spoke remains, pick up the back row broach before the last loop of color A, then pick up the front row broach before the last loop of color B = both broach - on the left spoke. Remove them, as in the purl knitting, stretch the threads one by one before work. Remove the last loop, as when purl knitting, thread before work. To turn. 

At the beginning of the series: knit the 1st paragraph and these 2 paragraphs together persons. crossed behind the rear wall, the thread at work. 

Reduce 2 p.
Knit double loops together = decrease in double-sided knitting. Translate 1 p. Front row to the auxiliary needle before work, 1 p. Back row to the auxiliary needle at work. Return the front loop back to the knitting needle and 2 pts knit together. Return the back loop to the knitting needle and 2 s. Knit together with the purl = 2 s. Knit together in the front and 2 s. Knit together in the back. 

1 double increase 
In double-sided knitting, pick up a broach (color A) before the next loop of the front row and knit it over the faces. crossed. Catch the broach (color B) in front of the next loop of the back row and knit it with the purl = new loop in front and new loop in the back. 

Knitting density 
21 p. X 27 p. = 10 x 10 cm, connected in the technique of double-sided knitting. 

Attention!
For the test sample, collect 30 double loops. The length of the middle portion of the associated sample of 21 double loops should be equal to 10 cm. If necessary, change the needles to thicker / thinner ones. 

The product is knitted in the technique of double-sided knitting! When two-sided knitting the product has no seamy side, both sides are facial, so the terms are used - the front side and the back side of the product. 

Since the product can be worn on both sides, fasten the threads carefully during assembly. 
The front side is the side that the product is facing towards you. Opposite side = back side.

The design of the sundress provides long cuts. Therefore, first, the back and front knit separately in the technique of bilateral knitting in rows in the forward and reverse directions, then (approximately at a height of 19 cm) - in a circle. Here, the bright side will be considered the front, because when knitting in a circle with a light thread, the load on the eyes is less than when knitting is dark. 

Performing work 

Back / front 
Back 
Needles number 3 dial in 2 threads (= 1 thread color A and 1 thread color B) 76 (82) 86 (92) 96 (102) paragraph 
1 row (front): go on the needles number 4. 1 persons. in 2 threads. Next, hold the thread as in double knitting: lay the light thread in front of the index and middle fingers, the dark thread on the index finger (for size XXL, start with a dark thread on the dark wall of the loop).

Knit 1 persons. a light thread for a light wall of a type-setting loop. 

Start the right knitting needle for both threads and knit 1 w. a dark thread for the dark wall of a type-setting loop (for size XXL, knit a light thread for the light wall of the loop). 

Thus, both sides (front and back) will be knitted with a facial surface. 

Continue according to the scheme, until there is no chrome. loop = now 74 (80) 84 (90) 94 (100) double loops and 2 chrome. loops.

2nd row (back side): chrome., Then for double-sided knitting, lay a dark thread on the index and middle fingers in front, light thread - on the index finger (for the size XXL - change the colors of the threads). Knit 1 persons. dark thread (from the dark loop). Start the right knitting needle for both threads and knit 1 w. light thread (from the light loop). Continue to knit the same double loops according to the scheme to the last loop of the row, finish the chrome. 

3rd row (front): chrome., Knit with double loops according to the scheme to the last loop, chrome. 

4th row (back side): chrome., Knit with double loops according to the scheme to the last loop of the row, chrome.

5th row (front): chrome., 2 double loops, 1 double gain. Knit with double loops to the last 5 pts of the row (= 2 double loops and chrome), perform 1 double increase, 2 double loops, chrome. = now on the spokes 76 (82) 86 (92) 96 (102) double loops (hereinafter chrome loops will not be indicated). 

6–9th rows: repeat 4th and 5th rows = 80 (86) 90 (96) 100 (106) double loops. 

Attention! 
New loops to include in the pattern. Chrome Always knit the loops in 2 threads, and always knit the first and last double loops of the row with a thread of the main color! 

Continue to knit according to the scheme with additions in each 4th front row - run 5 more times (for all sizes). Finish the back row after the 5th raise. 

Gradually start shortening the stripe pattern!

1st row (front side): for all sizes - here finish the 1st strip, then knit the main color with the first two loops of the strip. Through 24 r. finish the next lane. 

Continue in the same way until 3 lanes on the back and 8 lanes on the front are completed. 

Next, knit with increments in every 8th p. At the same time, temporarily leave the backrest at a height of 19 cm (the last row should be the back row) and begin to knit in front. 

Before the 
needles number 3 in 2 threads dial 76 (82) 86 (92) 96 (102) p. And knit, as described for the back. 
The connection of the loops front and back in a through row:

1st circular row (front side): attach marker 1 and knit hinged forehand to chrome. loops. Chrome knit a loop with front thread front row, knit chrome. loop back purl back row. These two loops = 1 double loop. 

Attach marker 2 and knit on the loops with double loops until chrome. loops. Chrome knit a loop with front thread front row, chrome. knit a loop before the purl thread back row. These 2 p. = 1 double loop (2 double loops were added, there are no more edge loops). 

Increments 
Knit in a circle with increments in each 8th p.

Increments should be done as follows: 2 double loops, 1 double gain, knit up to 2 double loops in front of the marker 2, 1 double gain, 2 double loops, move the marker, 2 double loops, 1 double gain. Knit up to 2 double loops in front of the marker 1, 1 double add, 2 double loops (4 double loops added). 

Repeat increments in every 8th p. - total (from the beginning) execute 12 (12) 13 (13) 1 (14) times = 198 (210) 222 (234) 246 (258) double loops. 

Next, knit 7 p. without increments. 

Nursing 
Continue to knit in a circle.

1st row: 2 double loops, 2 double loops knit together, knit up to 4 double loops in front of the marker 2, 2 double loops knit together, 2 double loops, move the marker, 2 double loops, 2 double loops knit together. Knit up to 4 double loops in front of the marker 1, 2 double loops knit together, 2 double loops = 194 (206) 218 ​​(230) 242 (254) double loops. 

2-4th ranks: knit in a circle pattern without hindrances. 

Repeat these 4 p. - total, perform 10 (11) 11 (12) 12 (12) times = 158 (166) 178 (186) 198 (210) double loops. 

At the same time, when the reductions will be completed only 5 times (for all sizes), on the front to start a dotted pattern. Run 5 p. this pattern, tie 4 p. no dots and start on the pattern of the flower pattern.

At the same time, when the length of the product is 46 (48) 50 (52) 54 (56) cm, increase: 
1st row: 1 double loop, 1 double gain, knit to the last double loop in front of the marker 2, 1 double boost, 1 double loop, move marker, 1 double loop, 1 double gain. Knit to the last double loop before the marker 1, 1 double gain, 1 double loop (4 double loops added). 

The increments are repeated in every 4th p. - just perform 7 (7) 7 (7) 7 (7) times (28 double loops were added) = 186 (194) 206 (214) 226 (238) double loops. 

Then knit without increments until the length of the product is 57 (60) 63 (66) 69 (72) cm. 

Armholes 
Knit up to 2 double loops in front of marker 2.

Right armhole: close 4 double loops like this: * knit together 1 n. Of the front row and 1 n. Of the back row *, repeat from * to *. Stretch the first loop through the second. Repeat this way until 4 double loops are closed. 

Attention! 
The edge does not tighten! 

Knit up to 2 double loops in front of the marker 1. Close 4 double loops in the same way as for the right armhole.

Assembly 
Connect the shoulder loops with a knit stitch (knit the loops of the front and back sides separately with a thread according to the color). Or: first close the loops, then sew the edges of the front and back sides with a “forward needle” seam of the main color. 

Bake
Start from the right shoulder seam (the product faces the bright side out). Tie 10 (11) 12 (12) 13 (14) paragraph in front of the auxiliary needle of the back with a thread of color In needles No. 3.5, inserting the needle through both sides of the product, knit loops from the auxiliary needle like this: * 2 point. tilt to the left. Pick up the broach before the next loop (two threads) and knit it crossed *, repeat from * to * only 3 times. 

To knit 23 (23) 25 (25) 27 (27) double loops with the auxiliary knitting needles together with the front ones tilted to the left, to make 23 (23) 25 (25) 27 (27) ordinary loops. ** Pick up the broach before the next loop (2 threads) and knit it crosswise, 2 knit knot together with a tilt to the left, 2 knot knit together with a tilt to the left **.
