Used Patterns

Main pattern A: the quantity of sts is multiple 12 + 11. Work due to the scheme. Start with sts before pattern repeat, pattern repeat, finish with sts after pattern repeat. Make 1^st-6^th rows x once, then, repeat 3^rd-6^th rows, then, make 7^th-11^th rows x once and repeat 8^th-11^th rows.

Main pattern B: make in the same way, as main pattern A. Make 1^st-5^th rows, then, repeat 2^nd-5^th rows, finish with 6^th-17^th rows.

Stitches control: 23 sts x 8 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

Instructions

Upper Part of Back and Front

Make 95 (107) 119 chain sts + 1 chain st increase and work with the main pattern A = 7 (8) 9 pattern repeats + initial and final sts. In 26 (30) 34 cm from the set-up row (after the 6^th row of pattern A), make 7^th-11^th rows, then, repeat 8^th-11^th rows x 3 times, finish with 8^th-10^th rows = 46 (50) 54 rows. In 40 cm = 32 rows (42,5 cm = 34 rows) 45 cm = 36 rows from the set-up row, leave 1 pattern repeat from both sides for arm-holes = 5 (6) 7 pattern repeats + initial and final sts. At 15 cm height = 12 rows (17,5 cm = 14 rows) 20 cm = 16 rows, leave the central 3 pattern repeats + ½ pattern repeat from both sides (4) 3 + 1.2pattern repeat from both sides for neck-hole and continue work separately. Finish at 2,5 cm = 2 rows height of neck-hole on the rest 1 (1,5) 2 pattern repeats from each side.

Lower Part of Back and Front

Fasten the set-up row of upper part with 95 (107) 119 single crochets due to the scheme and work with the main pattern B = 7 (8) 9 pattern repeats + initial and final sts. Make 1^st-5^th rows x once, 2^nd-5^th rows x 1 (2) 3 times, finish with the 6^th-17^th rows. Finish at 26 cm = 21 rows (31 cm = 25 rows) 36 cm = 29 rows of the main pattern B.

Upper Part of Front

Make in the same way, as back, but with deeper neck-hole. For this, leave the central sts of neck-hole in the same way, as for back at 5 (7,5) 10 cm arm-hole height = 4 (6) 8 rows.

Assembly

Make shoulder and side seams. Fasten all the edges with 1 row of single crochets and “shrimp stitch”, change every 2^nd st of “shrimp stitch” to 1 chain st increase and make sts of “shrimp stitch” only in every 2^nd base s in the 2^nd row.
