Getting started - a 1x1 ribbed waistband on 1.75mm knitting needles. round            

Next, we knit the front and back from the waist up in the round according to pattern 1 using 2.0mm knitting needles.

We process the neckline with i-cord and a chain of air loops with beads.

The skirt of the dress is knitted from the waist down according to the following patterns 6-9. To calculate the loops, we take into account the multiple of 12 loops and an even number of repeats / pattern 9 - 24 loops / Knitting needles 2.0 mm and then 2.5 mm

Sewn-in sleeves are knitted in the same way. Elastic 1x1 in a circle and the head of the sleeve up according to pattern 1. From the elastic downwards, we knit the sleeve according to patterns 6-9. We take into account the multiplicity in the pattern of 9 - 24 loops.

Stole pattern – Peacock feather

A knitted lining, several shades darker, is sewn along the edge of the neckline. At the waist line, the lining is fixed with beads, which are sewn along the back rows. The dress and lining are without a zipper, as the knitted silk fabric is very elastic.
