​Crochet Pullover with Front Cut

You’ll need:

250 (300)g of blue-green yarn (55% silk, 45% cotton; 120m/50g);

Crochet hook 3,5.

Size: S (M).

Used Patterns

Main pattern: the quantity of sts is multiple 11. Work due to the scheme. Start with sts before pattern repeat, pattern repeat, finish with sts after pattern repeat. Make 1^st-3^rd rows x once, then, repeat 2^nd-3^rd rows, make arches of chain sts above 3 double crochets in the 1^st and 3^rd rows of the pattern and fasten them with single crochets due to the scheme.

Stitches control: 25 sts x 10 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

Instructions

Back

Make 22 (33) chain sts + 3 chain sts increase for right shoulder and work with the main pattern. In 4 cm = 4 rows from the set-up row, leave your work. Make left shoulder in symmetry to right shoulders and connect the details with a chain of 44 chain sts. Continue work with the main pattern on all the sts as one-piece cloth. In 18 (22) cm = 18 (22) rows from the set-up row, increase 11 chain sts from both sides for arm-holes and include them in the main pattern. In 55 cm from the set-up row, finish your work.

Front

Make 22 (33) chain sts + 3 chain sts increase for right shoulder and work with the main pattern. For smooth rounding, increase 0,5 cm along the left edge of work in 4 cm = 4 rows form the set-up row, then, increase 6 x 0,5 cm in every row due to the pattern. In 12 cm = 12 rows from the set-up row, leave your work. Make left shoulder in symmetry to the right shoulder and connect the details with the help of a chain of 28 chain sts. Total width of neck-hole should be the same, as back neck-hole. Continue work with main pattern on all the sts. Make increases in the same way, as for back. For front cut, divide your work in half in 45 cm from the set-up row, finish both sides separately and finish your work in 55 cm from the set-up row.

Sleeves

Make 88 (110) chain sts + 3 chain sts increase for each sleeve and work with the main pattern. In 5 cm from the set-up row, decrease 5,5 (7,5) cm from both sides during the next 20 cm. In 40 cm from the set-up row, finish your work.

Assembly

Make shoulder seams. Sew up the sleeves, make side and sleeve seams. Fasten the edges of neck-hole and cut with 1 circle row of single crochets and 1 circle row of “shrimp stitch”.
