Notes
1. First and last sts along all details are selvage sts, even if it’ s not mentioned further in pattern. 2. WS of cast on edge is RS of all pieces. 3. While working st pattern, make sure there are enough sts to make the whole combination of“ k2tog, yo”( or“ yo, ssk”), if not, then work these sts in St st. 4. While casting on and binding off, do not forget to leave long enough yarn tails for seaming and joining pieces later on. 5. For back neckline shaping, a technique of short rows by Aistė Butkevičienė( aisteb1973) is used.

The instructions are given for size XS, numbers in brackets are for sizes S, M, L, XL, XXL and XXXL respectively. If there is only one number, it belongs to all sizes. 7. To prevent stretching of the lower body and sleeves, invisible hems were used.
