Instructions

Back

Make 137 (147) chain sts + 3 chain sts increase and work with the net pattern. Finish your work in 62 cm from the set-up row.

Front

Make in the same way, as back, but with central motif and neck-hole. For this, continue work due to the scheme 2 after set-up row (for size M, make 1 pattern repeat more from both sides). After finishing motif, work with net pattern on all sts. In 51 cm from the set-up row, leave the central 17 cm for neck-hole and finish both sides separately at the height of back.

Sleeves

Make 67 (83) chain sts + 3 chain sts increase and work with net pattern. At the same time from the set-up row, increase 6 x 1 cm in every 3^rd row for sleeve chamfers, include the increased sts in the pattern. Finish your work in 30 cm from the set-up row.

Assembly

Make shoulder seams, sew up the sleeves. Make right side and sleeve seams. Fasten the lower edge of tunic with fringe, start with the 1^st row and make 12 (13) pattern repeats + initial and final sts. Make the rest seams. Fasten neck-hole with 1 circle row of single crochets and 1 circle row of picots.
