COMPLETING OF THE WORK
Bodice
On circular knitting needles No. 6, cast on with double thread 68 (68) 72 (76) sts (a set of loops on 2 knitting needles so that the edge is not too tight, while leaving the end of the thread long enough for a hanging loop).
First, for the upper part of the bodice, knit in rows in forward and reverse directions.
1st r. (= purl row) knit.
Knit the next row again and divide the loops (mark with markers) = left sleeve, back, right sleeve and front: 11 (9) 9 (9) knits, marker 1, 23 (25) 27 (29) knits, marker 2 , 11 (9) 9 (9) faces., marker 3, 23 (25) 27 (29) faces.
Next purl. row also knit.
Then knit a row, distributing the loops of garter stitch and openwork pattern (see diagram) as follows: 3 (2) 2 (2) knits, knit according to the pattern, 5 (5) 6 (7) knits, knit according to the pattern, 2 knit, knit according to the pattern, knit 2, knit according to the pattern, knit 5 (5) 6 (7), knit according to the pattern, knit 5 (5) 6 (7), knit according to the pattern, knit 2, knit according to the pattern, knit 2, knit according to the pattern, knit 2 (3) 4 (5).
Continue knitting with the same distribution of patterns until the end of the work, while as a result of raglan increases (see below), the number of loops will change.
After the next 5 r. start raglan increases (at the same time close the row and continue working in the circle, mark the beginning of the circular row with a marker): *K1, 1 increase, knit to the last loop before marker 1, 1 increase, knit to the last loop before marker 2, 1 increase, knit to the last stitch before marker 3, increase 1, end row = 4 stitches added (= 2 stitches on each sleeve).
Perform 2 p. no increases.
Then knit: 1 purl, 1 increase, knit to the last loop before marker 1, 1 increase, 2 purl, 1 increase, knit to the last loop before marker 2, 1 increase, 2 purl, 1 increase, knit to the last loop before marker 3, increase 1, purl 2, increase 1, knit to the last stitch of the round row, increase 1, purl 1. = 8 stitches added (= 2 stitches on each of the 4 parts of the work).
Perform 2 p. without increases.* These 6 rubles. (from * to *) repeat until increases are completed a total of 5 (6) 6 (6) times on the back/front (respectively 10 (12) 12 (12) times on the sleeves).
For size XL: knit 3 more r. no increases.
In the next row, on the front and back, add 2 sts = 4 sts in total. Now on the needles 176 (188) 192 (200) sts.
Next, knit straight until the length of the product is approximately 19 (20) 21 (22) cm (measured in the middle of the front).
Formation of armholes, lower part of the dress
Continue working with the same distribution of patterns.
In the 1st circular row, leave 37 (39) 39 (39) stitches of sleeves on auxiliary threads and under them 11 (12) 16 (18) new loops for armholes (knit on new loops with garter stitch).
Continue working in the round: knit the first 6 (6) 8 (9) stitches and attach a new marker in the middle of the armhole (remove the remaining markers). In the middle of the second armhole, attach a second marker (for size S, attach the marker so that 61 stitches are on the back, and 63 stitches are on the front). Now on the needles 124 (134) 146 (158) sts.
Next knit 17 (15) 13 (13) r. directly.
In the next row, add 4 sts: knit 1 st, increase 1, knit to the last stitch before the marker, increase 1, knit 2 sts, increase 1, knit to the last loop of the circular row, increase 1, knit 1 st. These increases repeat every 19 (17) 15 (15th) p. - complete 7 (8) 9 (9) times = on knitting needles 152 (166) 182 (194) sts.
Next, knit straight until the length of the product from the shoulder line is approximately 87 (89) 91 (93) cm (finish with an odd row according to the pattern).
Then knit 1 r. purl, 1 p. facial, 1 rub. purl and close the loops with facial stitches.

Starting from the inside of the sleeve, cast on 6 (6) 8 (9) sts from the middle of the armhole, knit the sleeve loops and then cast on another 5 (6) 8 (9) sts to the middle of the armhole = on knitting needles 48 (51) 55 ( 57) p. Mark the beginning of the circular row with a marker.
Knit in the round 7 (7) 6 (6) r. directly.
In the next row, decrease 2 sts: knit 2 sts together with a tilt to the left, knit until the last 2 sts of the row, knit 2 sts together. Repeat these decreases to narrow the sleeves every 8 (8) 7 (7th) row. - complete 12 (12) 14 (14) times = on knitting needles 24 (27) 27 (29) sts.
Next, knit straight until the sleeve length is approximately 43 (43) 42 (42) cm from the armhole (finish with an odd row according to the pattern).
Then knit 1 r. purl, 1 p. facial, 1 rub. purl and close the loops with facial stitches.
