​Crochet Pineapple Pullover

You’ll need:

250g of turquoise 100% cotton yarn (110m/50g);

Crochet hook 4,5.

Size: S (M).

Used Patterns

Main pattern: double crochets. Start every row with 3 chain sts increase instead of the 1^st double crochet and finish with 1 double crochet in the last chain st increase of the previous row.

Pineapple pattern: the quantity of sts is multiple 23 + 13. Work due to the scheme. Start with sts before pattern repeat, pattern repeat, finish with sts after pattern repeat. Make 1^st-20^th rows x once, then, repeat 3^rd-20^th rows, finish with the 21^st row.

Stitches control: main pattern: 19,5 sts x 11 rows = 10 x 10 cm;

Pineapple pattern: 19,5 sts x 8 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

Note: for front and back, make trimming from up to down at first, then, fasten it with the main pattern. Make sleeves from up to down.

Instructions

Back

Make 82 (105) chain sts + 3 chain sts increase for trimming and work with pineapple pattern. In 26 cm = 21 rows from the set-up row, finish your work. Fasten the set-up row with the main pattern, make 82 (105) double crochets in the 1^st row. Decrease 10 (13) sts in the 2^nd row (by means of making 2 double crochets together) = 72 (92) sts. In 12 cm = 13 rows from the beginning of fastening, decrease 1 st from both sides for raglan chamfer and 11 (13) x 1 st in every row = 48 (64) sts. Make 2 double crochets together in the next row and finish your work on the rest 24 (32) sts in 12 cm = 13 rows (13,5 cm = 15 rows) from the beginning of raglan.
