Used Patterns

Patterns matching: the quantity of sts is multiple 3 + 1 + 3 chain sts increase. Work due to the scheme, on which both RS and WS rows are stated. Start with sts before pattern repeat, pattern repeat, finish with sts after pattern repeat. Make 1^st-30^th rows x once, paying attention to the colors order and continue work due to the patterns and colors order.

Patterns and colors order: continue work with patterns matching due to the scheme, work in the following way: 23^rd-26^th rows with golden-yellow yarn, 19^th-22^nd rows with violet yarn, 16^th-18^th rows with golden-yellow yarn, read the scheme from left to right, 10^th-15^th rows with beige yarn, 3^rd-8^th rows with golden-yellow yarn, for this, join the yarn at left edge, then, make the 1^st-2^nd rows with violet yarn x twice, 27^th-30^th rows with golden-yellow yarn, 16^th-18^th rows with beige yarn, read the scheme from left to right.

Stitches control: 20,5 sts x 11,5 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

Instructions

Back

Make 97 chain sts + 3 chain sts increase with violet yarn and make 30 rows due to the patterns matching and then work due to the patterns and colors order. In 55,5 cm = 64 rows from the set-up row, finish your work.

Front

Make in the same way, as back, but with neck-hole. For this, bind off the central 29 sts in 49,5 cm = 57 rows from the set-up row and finish both sides separately. For smooth rounding, bind off 2 x 1 cm in every following row from inwards. Finish your work at the height of back on the rest sts of shoulders.

Sleeves

Make 49 chain sts + 3 chain sts increase with violet yarn for each sleeve, make 30 rows due to the patterns matching and continue work due to the patterns and colors order. At the same time, increase 1st in the 9^th, 16^th, 20^th, 22^nd, 26^th, 29^th, 32^nd, 35^th rows from both sides = 65 sts. Make increases due to the pattern and color of yarn with single crochet or double crochet and continue work in height. In 41 cm = 47 rows from the set-up row, finish your work.

Assembly

Make shoulder seams, sew up the sleeves. Make side and sleeve seams. Fasten the edges with neck-hole with 1 circle row of “shrimp stitch” with violet yarn.
