Construction notes:
1. The top is worked with both yarns held together. It is
preferable to knit the two yarns together from separate balls
rather than winding them together.
2. The first and the last sts along all details are selvage sts,
even if it’s not mentioned further in the pattern.
3. While casting on and binding off, do not forget to leave
long enough yarn tails for seaming and joining pieces later
on.
4. For short rows back neckline shaping, technique of Aistė
Butkevičienė (aisteb1973) is used. You can find the details
by clicking this link (Russian language, but there are pictures
and schematics):

5. The instructions are given for size M, the numbers in
brackets are for sizes L and XL respectively. If there is only
one number, it belongs to all sizes.

Gauge
20 sts and 28 rows = 10х10 cm in lace pattern

Stitch Patterns
Lace pattern: see the chart.
Twisted stitch rib: see the chart.
Selvage stitch (braid): slip the first stitch to the right needle
in the beginning of each row, the last stitch of each row knit
or purl depending on the side, transfer working thread avoiding wrapping the first stitch.
Alignment row: used for flattering steps which were created
while working on short rows. Pick up the wrap with the left
needle, releasing the stich which was wrapped and knit (or
purl) them together. The wrap always should stay on the WS.
