INFORMATION FOR PATTERN
GARTER STITCH (worked in the round):
1 ridge = 2 rounds. Knit 1 round and purl 1 round.
GARTER STITCH (back and forth):
1 ridge = knit 2 rows.
PATTERN
See diagrams A.1 and A.2 (first A.2a, then A.2b and A.2c). Choose diagram for your size.
Diagrams show all rows in pattern seen from the right side.
DECREASE TIP-1 (applies evenly spaced decrease):
To calculate how to decrease evenly, use the total number of stitches on row (e.g. 168 stitches) and divide stitches by number of decreases to be done (e.g. 6) = 28. In this example work approx. every 27th and 28th stitch together.
DECREASE TIP-2 (applies to armholes):
Decrease inside 3 edge stitches in garter stitch. All decreases are done from the right side.
Decrease before 3 edge stitches as follows: Knit 2 together.
Decrease after 3 edge stitches as follows: Slip 1 stitch knitwise, knit 1, pass slipped stitch over stitch worked.
DRESS
Worked in the round on circular needle up to armhole, then work front and back piece back and forth separately. Neck edge is worked back and forth on needle.
BODY
Cast on 168-180-204-228 (252-276) stitches on circular needle size 3 mm with Alpaca. Insert 1 marker at beginning of round and 1 marker after 84-90-102-114 (126-138) stitches, markers indicates side of garment. Then work A.1 (= 12 stitches) over all stitches (= 14-15-17-19 (21-23) times in width). REMEMBER THE KNITTING TENSION! When A.1 has been worked 1 time vertically, piece measures approx. 8 cm. Then work A.2 (= 12 stitches) over all stitches (= 14-15-17-19 (21-23) times in width). On rounds marked with arrow decrease stitches evenly - read DECREASE TIP-1. For every time 12 stitches are decreased in total, work 1 repetition less of A.2 in width. When all decreases are done, there are 108-120-132-156 (156-180) stitches on needle (= 54-60-66-78 (78-90) stitches on each side of marker).
READ ALL OF THE FOLLOWING SECTION BEFORE CONTINUING! WORK PATTERN WHILE AT THE SAME TIME DECREASING FOR ARMHOLE THE SIDE AS FOLLOWS:
PATTERN
Continue with pattern. When A.2 has been worked vertically, continue in GARTER STITCH - see explanation above. Piece measures approx. 27-27-33-33 (39-39) cm.
ARMHOLE
When piece measures 24-26-31-36 (41-44) cm, continue as follows: Work 9 stitches in garter stitch, work pattern/garter stitch as before, but decrease 4-4-4-8 (2-6) stitches evenly until 9 stitches remain before next marker, work 18 stitches in garter stitch, work pattern/garter stitch as before, but decrease 4-4-4-8 (2-6) stitches evenly until 9 stitches remain on round, finish with 9 stitches in garter stitch = 100-112-124-140 (152-168) stitches in total (= 50-56-62-70 (76-84) stitches on each side of markers). Continue like this until piece measures 25-27-32-37 (42-45) cm. Now cast off stitches for armhole as follows: Cast off the first 6 stitches, work 3 stitches in garter stitch, work pattern until 9 stitches remain before next marker, work 3 stitches in garter stitch, cast off the next 12 stitches, work 3 stitches in garter stitch, work pattern as before until 9 stitches remain, work 3 stitches in garter stitch and cast off the last 6 stitches. Now finish front and back piece separately.

Then decrease 1 stitch for armhole inside 3 stitches in garter stitch in each side of piece - read DECREASE TIP-2! Decrease like this on every other row 3-4-5-4 (4-5) times in total = 32-36-40-50 (56-62) stitches. When piece measures 32-34-40-46 (52-56) cm, cast off the middle 16-18-22-24 (26-26) stitches for neck = 8-9-9-13 (15-18) stitches on each shoulder. Now finish each shoulder separately.

FRONT PIECE
Work as on back piece until piece measures 30-32-37-42 (48-51) cm. Now cast off the middle 10-12-16-16 (18-18) stitches for neck = 11-12-12-17 (19-22) stitches on each shoulder. Now finish each shoulder separately.
RIGHT SHOULDER
Cast off 1 stitch on every row from neck 3-3-3-4 (4-4) times in total = 8-9-9-13 (15-18) stitches. When piece measures 32-34-40-46 (52-56) cm, work in stocking stitch with 3 stitches in garter stitch out towards armhole. When piece measures 34-36-42-48 (54-58) cm, decrease for 2 buttonholes from right side as follows: Knit 1-1-1-2 (3-3), knit 2 together, make 1 yarn over (= 1 buttonhole), knit 2-2-2-4 (5-8), knit 2 together, make 1 yarn over (= 1 buttonhole), finish with 1-2-2-3 (3-3) stitches in garter stitch.
