Used Patterns

Pearled and wavy pattern: due to the scheme. Numbers from left side state for WS rows, numbers from right side – for RS rows. Start with sts before the 1^st arrow in width, repeat the pattern = 12 sts between arrows, finish with sts after the 2^nd arrow. Repeat 1^st-33^rd rows x once, then, repeat 8^th-33^rd rows.

Stitches control: 11 sts x 26 rows = 10 x 22,5 cm.

Instructions

Cast on 68 sts with Opera yarn and knitting needles 8. Make pearled and wavy pattern due to the scheme, start with 1 WS row and make pattern repeat between arrows x 4 times. Repeat 8^th-33^rd rows x 6 times after the 33^rd row, bind off the sts loosely in the 33^rd row. Totally, 160 cm = 189 rows.

Make fringe with single crochets along the extensional sides with Estivo II yarn and crochet hook 4. Make single crochets in the 1^st row, make 9 single crochets above every 10 cm. In the 2^nd row, make 1 single crochet in every single crochet of the previous row in the following way: insert crochet hook in the st of the previous row, twist working yarn around 3 fingers of left hand, draw working yarn in the st, single crochets to the end of row, then, pull of fingers from sts and make 1 tight chain st in order to fix the st. 3^rd row: make in the same way, as the 2^nd row.

All the sts are placed in front of work x once and behind work x once. Fasten narrow sides in the same way.
