Work the first five stitches onto an auxiliary needle, p 68, k 4, edge

5Row 54: overlap the sides making sure that the side with
buttonholes is on top.
Take another auxiliary needle. Slip stitches onto it from the first
auxiliary needle and from the main (circular) needles in turn. The
first stitch should be from the side with buttonholes.

Then cast off sides’ stitches using an auxiliary needle, working 3

sts together at a time.
When there is one stitch left after casting off, slip it onto the main
needle and also cast it off (working it together with the next stitch).
There are 68 sts on the needles left.

Then use an auxiliary needle to work 31 sts in 1 × 1 rib stitch (row

1 of the leg).

Turn the knitting. Work four more rows in 1 × 1 rib stitch (5 rows
altogether). Cast off stitches (working 2 sts together), leave a yarn
tail of about 25 cm to sew the parts together.
Then join the yarn from the skein next to the first leg (the back).

Cast off 6 sts (working 3 sts together at a time). There are 31 sts
on the needles left (the second leg). Work 5 rows in 1 × 1 rib
stitch. Cast off stitches (working 2 sts together). Leave a yarn tail of
about 25 cm to sew the parts together.

Sew the legs, the space between them, and then the sleeves with
a mattress stitch seam. Hide and cut off the excess yarn tails.

5 sts on every side.

Row 2: edge st., k 3, inc, (k 1, inc) × 34 times, k 3, edge st.
(77).
Row 3: edge st., k 3, p 69, k 3, edge st. (77).
Rows 4–56: st st; do not forget to knit the first three stitches after
the edge stitch and the last three stitches before the edge stitch in
wrong side rows (53 rows).

After that, slip 38 sts onto an auxiliary needle.

Fold the hood in two with the wrong side outside. Now slip the
stitches from each needle to an auxiliary needle in turn, one by
one.
Cast off stitches (working 3 sts together at a time).

Fasten off the yarn, hide it and cut the excess tail. Sew on buttons.
The overalls are ready.

help of a sewing needle. Pull the stitches
