In 30,5 cm = 41 rows (33,5 cm = 45 rows) 36,5 cm = 49 rows from the set-up row, make 6 cm = 8 rows with main pattern B. Then, make 2 cm = 5 rows of single crochets, make 1 single crochet in every single crochet and arch of chain sts of the previous row = 184 (200) 216 sts. After that, make corsage on 100 (108) 116 sts with straight and reversed rows of single crochets, decrease 4 x 2 sts and 26 (29) 32 x 1 st in every row from both sides for chamfers.

In 12 (14) 16 cm from the beginning of corsage, make 2 cm of single crochets on the rest 32 (34) 36 sts for self-belt and finish your work.

For strap, make 218 chain sts + 1 chain st increase and make 4 rows of single crochets and finish your work. Fold the self-belt inwards and sew, draw strap through self-belt and sew it.
