Used Patterns

Main pattern: the quantity of sts is multiple 3 + 2. 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 treble crochet around chain st of the previous row, starting from the 2^nd row.

Rib: * 2 knit sts, 2 purls*.

Stitches control: 17,5 sts x 4,5 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

Instructions

Back

Make 77 (86) chain sts + 4 chain sts increase and work with the main pattern. For one-piece sleeves, increase 1 pattern repeat from both sides in evert 2^nd row from the set-up row, and then increase 4 x 1 pattern repeat = 107 (116) sts in every following row. Continue crochet straight. In 33 cm = 15 rows (35,5 cm = 16 rows) from the set-up row, bind off 1 st from both sides and 8 x 1 st in every following row = 89 (98) sts. In 55,5 cm = 25 rows (57,5 cm = 26 rows) from the set-up row, bind off 1 x 5 sts from both sides and 1 x 4 sts in the following row. Finish your work on the rest 71 (80) sts in 60 cm = 27 rows (62 cm = 28 rows) from the set-up row.

Front

Assembly
