​White Crochet Tunic

You’ll need:

700 (750) 800g of white yarn (70% microfiber, 20% linen, 10% polyamide; 125m/50g);

Crochet hook 4;

30 beads.

Size: S (M) L.

Used Patterns

Pattern of arches: the quantity of sts is multiple 8 + 1 + 1 chain st increase. Work due to the scheme 1. Start with sts before pattern repeat, pattern repeat, finish with sts after pattern repeat. Make 1^st-5^th rows x once, then, repeat 2^nd-5^th rows.

Net pattern: the quantity of sts is multiple 6 + 1 + 3 chain sts increase. Work due to the scheme 2. Make 1^st-3^rd rows x once, then repeat 2^nd-3^rd rows.

Stitches control: pattern of arches: 20 sts x 10,5 rows = 10 x 10 cm;

Net pattern: 22 sts x 8 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

Instructions

Back

Make 89 (97) 105 chain sts for upper part and work with pattern of arches. In 15 cm = 16 rows from the set-up row, leave 4 sts from both sides for arm-holes and 4 x 2 sts in every row. In 34 cm = 36 rows (36 cm = 38 rows) 38 cm = 40 rows from the set-up row, finish your work. For lower part, make 85 (97) 103 single crochets, then, work with net pattern, in 5 rows, make arches of 3 chain sts instead of 2 chain sts, in the next 8 rows – arches of 4 chain sts, in the next 8 rows – arches of 5 chain sts. In 42,5 cm = 34 rows (45 cm = 36 rows) 47,5 cm = 38 rows from upper part, make 1 picot instead of 1 chain st in the last row between double crochets.

Front

Make in the same way, as back, but with deeper neck-hole. For cut, in 5,5 cm = 6 rows (7,5 cm = 8 rows) 9,5 cm = 10 rows from set-up row, leave the central st and finish both sides separately. Increase 1 st from inwards. In 14 cm = 15 rows (16 cm = 17 rows) 18 cm = 19 rows from set-up row, leave 4 sts from inwards for smooth rounding and 6 x 2 sts in every row. Finish your work at the height of back.

Sleeves

Make 65 (73) 81 chain sts + 1 chain st increase and work with pattern of arches. In 4 cm = 4 rows from the set-up row, leave 4 sts from both sides for sleeve caps and 13 x 2 sts in every row. In 18 cm = 19 rows from set-up row, finish your work. For lower part. Make 67 (73) 79 single crochets, then, work with net pattern, in 7 rows make arches of 3 chain sts instead of 2 chain sts, in the next 8 rows – arches of 4 chain sts, in the next 8 rows – arches of 5 chain sts. In 37,5 cm = 30 rows (37,5 cm = 30 rows) 36 cm = 29 rows from upper part make the last row in the same way, as back.

Assembly

Make shoulder seams; sew up the sleeves, make side and sleeve seams. Fasten neck-hole and cuts with 1 row of single crochets and 1 row of “shrimp stitch”. Thread 15 beads on 2 threads of yarn and sew them to the corners of neck-hole.
