Instructions

Back

Make 97 (105) 118 (122) chainsts. Turn in reversed direction, make 96 (104) 117 (121) single crochets on sts of chain. Then, work with main pattern, as it’s described above. When the length of back is 34 cm (place mark), make 21 chain sts from both sides for one-piece sleeves and make 20 single crochets on sts of chains and work in reversed direction = totally, 136 (144) 157 (170) sts. Continueworkonallsts. Work with main pattern, start and finish in the following way:

For size S: 11 double crochets, 1 hole, 10 double crochets;

For size M: 2 double crochets, 1 hole, 11 double crochets, 1 hole, 10 double crochets;

For size L: 9 double crochets, 1 hole, 10 double crochets;

When the width of sleeves is 19 (20) 21 (22) cm from mark, cut the yarn.

Front

Make in the same way, as back, to the length, when there are 2 cm left for sleeves increases. Then, divide your work into 2 parts, leave 2 (2) 3 (3) sts in the center (= beginning of neck-hole) open. Finish each side separately: crochet straight until the width of sleeve is the same, as the width of back sleeve. Cut the yarn and finish the second side in the same way.

Assembly

Connect details with single crochets between one another, making them from WS. Leave 19 (20) 21 (22) cm open for neck-hole. Fasten all the edges: neck-hole and bottom of sleeves: 1 circle row of picots.
