Pink dress with various knitting patterns

Knitted dresses are worthy of attention, especially when they delight with the variety of patterns.
A perfect example is our knee-length model, made from a noble yarn combining viscose, cotton and linen.

Sizes: 36/38 (40/42) 44/46 
Russian sizes: 42/44 (46/48) 50/52 

You will need: 600 (650) 700 g coral yarn Lana Grossa “Linarte” (40% viscose, 30% cotton, 20% linen, 10% polyamide; 125 m/50 g); circular knitting needles No. 4; hook No. 3.5. 

Attention: due to the increasing number of loops, it is recommended to knit on circular knitting needles in rows in forward and reverse directions. 

Knitting technique. 
Openwork pattern: the number of loops is a multiple of 13 + 2 chrome. Knit according to pattern 1, which shows the front rows.

In the purl rows, knit all the loops according to the pattern, purl the yarn overs. Constantly repeat the rapport between the edges. Perform rows 1–20 once, then repeat rows 13–20 2 more times = 36 rows in total. 

Facial surface: front rows - front loops, purl rows - purl loops. 
Purl stitch: front rows - purl loops, purl rows - front loops. 

Pattern of openwork rhombuses: the number of loops is a multiple of 39 + 0 (10) 20 + 2 chrome. Knit according to pattern 2, which shows the front rows. In purl rows, purl all loops and yarn overs. Start with 1 edge and the last 20 (5) 10 stitches of repeat, perform repeat 2 (3) 3 times, finish with the first 19 (5) 10 stitches of repeat and 1 edge. Complete rows 1–64 once. 
Purl stitch: front rows - purl loops, purl rows - front loops. 

Pattern of almond “petals”: the number of loops is a multiple of 8 + 5 (7) 1 + 2 chrome. Knit according to pattern 3, which shows the front and back rows. Start with 1 edge and the last 0 (1) 2 stitches of repeat, repeat the repeat constantly, finish with the first 5 (6) 7 stitches of repeat and 1 edge. 
Attention: the first 5 points of rapport are designated in the instructions as “petals” of almonds! Perform rows 1–23 once, then rows 10–23 twice and rows 10–15 once = 57 rows, finish with row 58. 

Diagonal Pattern: the number of loops is a multiple of 10 + 7 + 2 chrome. Knit according to pattern 4, which shows the front rows. In purl rows, purl all loops and yarn overs. Start with 1 edge and loops before repeat A, repeat repeat A until the middle, then knit the middle loop, then repeat repeat B, finish with loops after repeat B and 1 edge. Repeat rows 1–10 constantly. 

Sequence of patterns: 11 cm = 36 rows with an openwork pattern, 21 cm = 2 rows with a stockinette stitch + 64 rows with a pattern of openwork diamonds, 2 cm = 2 rows with a stockinette stitch + 2 rows with a purl stitch + 2 rows with a stockinette stitch, 18.5 cm = 58 rows with a pattern of “petals”, 9 cm = 30 rows in stockinette stitch, 6 cm = 20 rows in openwork pattern, perform rows 9–20 once, then repeat rows 13–20 once more, 0.5 cm = 2 rows in stockinette stitch, 10.5 cm = 32 rows (12.5 cm = 38 rows) 14.5 cm = 44 rows in a diagonal pattern. Total height: 78.5 cm = 250 rows (80.5 cm = 256 rows) 82.5 cm = 262 rows. 

Plank pattern, circular rows: knit according to pattern 1, which shows odd circular rows. In even circular rows, knit all stitches and yarn overs. Perform 1 time only the 1st–6th circular rows. 

Knitting density. 
Openwork pattern and pattern of openwork rhombuses: 22 p. and 32 r. = 10 x 10 cm; 
Front and back stitch: 20 p. and 33 r. = 10 x 10 cm; 
Pattern of almond “petals”: 24 p. and 31 r. = 10 x 10 cm; 
Openwork pattern (only the 9th–20th rows of the pattern): 20 p. and 33 r. = 10 x 10 cm; 
Diagonal pattern: 20 p. and 30 r. = 10 x 10 cm. 

DESCRIPTION OF WORK 

Attention: the sleeves are made entirely knitted with a back and front, respectively. 

Back: Cast on 119 (132) 145 sts on knitting needles using a cross cast-on and knit according to the sequence of patterns. To balance the pattern, after 11 cm = 36 rows from the initial row, evenly decrease 0 (3) 6 p., these decreases and the reduction in width due to the pattern of almond “petals” are depicted on the pattern in the form of a bevel = 119 (129) 139 p.

For fitting, after 52.5 cm = 166 rows from the initial row (= in the 1st front row after the pattern of almond “petals”), knit 17 almond “petals” on 15 (16) 3 sts. together knit = 89 (97 ) 105 p. After 58.5 cm = 186 rows from the initial row, cast on 1 x 35 (36) 37 new loops for the sleeve on both sides and include in the sequence of patterns = 159 (169) 179 p. 

Attention: in every 15th row of the next openwork pattern after the edge stitch, start with 1 (5) 4 stitches in stockinette stitch, then repeat the rapport constantly, finish with 0 (6) 4 stitches in stockinette stitch and 1 edge stitch. 
After 78.5 cm = 250 rows (80.5 cm = 256 rows) 82.5 cm = 262 rows from the initial row, close off all loops, while the middle 79 sts form the neck, the outer 40 (45) 50 sts - shoulder and sleeve line. 

Before: knit like a back, but with a neckline. To do this, after 73 cm = 234 rows (75 cm = 240 rows) 77 cm = 246 rows from the initial row, close the middle 69 stitches and finish both sides separately. To round the inner edge, cast off 5 x 1 stitches in every 2nd row. 

Assembly: sew shoulder seams and upper sleeve seams.

For the sleeve strips, cast on 78 (86) 94 sts on the knitting needles along the edge of each sleeve and knit 2 rows using stockinette stitch, starting with 1 purl row. Then bind off all stitches like knit stitches.

Sew side seams, bottom sleeve seams and trim seams.

For the neckline, cast on 182 stitches on circular needles using a cross cast-on, instead of purling a row, knit 1 circular row with knit stitches and 6 circular rows with a placket pattern. Then bind off all stitches like knit stitches.

Tie the edge of the neck with 1 circular row of connections. Art., while making 78 connections on the back neck. Art., on the rounded edges of the front neck - 18 connections each, on the front neck - 68 connections. Art. = 182 connections Art. Sew the strip with the closed edge into the neckline, while on the wrong side of the work there is a connection. Art. and grab the closed loops by the front walls so that a decorative line is formed on the front side.
