You’ll need:

300g of 100% cotton yarn;

Crochet hook 1,7.

Size: S.

Work with single crochets, but at first, make the pattern design in natural size.

Instructions

Front

Make 114 chain sts and add 3 chain st increase. Make 43 rows of double crochets, decreasing 1 st in every 2^nd row. Crochet the next 18 rows without decreases. For arm-holes, decrease 3 double crochets from both sides in 62^nd-65^th rows. Then, crochet without changes to 95^th row. At 66 cm height, bind off 38 sts for the neck-hole and crochet each part separately to 68 cm height.

Back

Make in the same way, as front. After the 28^th row, make neck-hole. For this, divide your work in 2 equal parts and mark the center with contrast yarn. Make 2 chain sts instead of 2 central double crochets in the 29^th row. Then, decrease 1 double crochet and add 1 chain st in every row to the 52^nd row. Crochet the next 21 rows with the same quantity of chain sts, then, 10 rows without chain sts.

When your work is 68 cm height, bind off all the sts.
