Circular knitting needles 4;

Crochet hooks 3,5 and 4.

Used Patterns

Net pattern: the quantity of sts is multiple 3 + 3 chain sts increase. Work due to the scheme 1. Start every row with 3 chain sts increase instead of the 1^st double crochet and sts before pattern repeat, pattern repeat, finish with sts after pattern repeat. Make 1^st-3^rd rows x once, then, repeat 2^nd and 3^rd rows.

Flower pattern: the quantity of sts is multiple 15 + 3 chain sts increase. Work due to the scheme 2. Start every row with the stated quantity of chain sts increase instead of the 1^st st and sts before pattern repeat, pattern repeat, finish with sts after pattern repeat. Start with 1 WS row. Make 1^st-3^rd rows x once.

Patterns order: * 1 row of net pattern, 3 rows of flower pattern*; repeat from * to * x twice, 3 rows of net pattern, 3 rows of flower pattern, 5 rows of net pattern, 3 rows of flower pattern, 7 rows of net pattern, 3 rows of flower pattern = 36 rows.

Stitches control: net pattern, crochet hook 4: 20,5 sts x 7 rows = 10 x 10 cm;

Flower pattern, crochet hook 4: 20,5 sts x 3 rows = 10 x 4,5 cm.

Instructions

Back

Make 90 (105) chain sts + 3 chain sts increase and work due to the patterns order. In 52,5 cm = 36 rows from the lower edge, work with net pattern. At the same time, increase 1 st from both sides for sleeves and then 2 x 1 st in every row = 96 (111) 126 sts. In 72,5 cm = 50 rows (75 cm = 52 rows) 78 cm = 54 rows from the lower edge, bind off 9 sts from both sides for shoulder chamfers, then, 2 x 9 (12) 15 sts in every row. At the same time with the 1^st decrease for shoulder chamfer, leave the central 38 (41) 44 sts for the neck-hole and crochet separately, decrease 2 x 1 st in every row. In 75,5 cm = 52 rows (78 cm = 54 rows) 81 cm = 56 rows from the lower edge, finish your work.

Front

Make in the same way, as back, but with deeper neck-hole. For this, in 67 cm = 46 rows (69,5 cm = 48 rows) 72,5 cm = 50 rows from the lower edge, leave the central 18 (21) 24 sts and finish both sides separately, decrease 3 x 3 sts and 3 x 1 st in ever row.

Assembly

Make shoulder and side seams. Cast on 94 (98) 102 sts along the neck-hole with circular knitting needles, make 8 circle rows of knit sts and bind off all the sts as knit st. Cast on 58 (63) 68 sts along arm-holes, make 8 circle rows of knit sts and bind off the sts as knit sts. Fasten the lower edge of tunic with 1 row of single crochets.
