​Crochet Poncho-Pullover

You’ll need:

750g of camel wool color yarn (57% wool, 25% viscose, 18% alpaca; 120m/50g);

150g of the same yarn, but in dark-brown color;

50g of the same yarn, but in red color;

Crochet hook 5,5.

Size: S-M.

Used Patterns

Main pattern: the quantity of sts is multiple 5 + 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.

Relief pattern: RS row: 3 chain sts increase instead of the 1^st double crochet, then, work with double crochets. WS row: 2 chain sts increase instead of the 1^st relief double crochet, then, make relief double crochets through front loop (= 1 double crochet, insert crochet hook from front to back around double crochet of the previous row).

Pattern for placket: 1^st row, camel yarn: 3 chain sts increase instead of the 1^st double crochet, then, work with double crochets;

2^nd row, red yarn: 2 chain sts increase instead of the 1^st relief double crochet, then, make relief double crochets through front loop;

3^rd row, camel yarn: as the 2^nd row, but make relief double crochets through back loop (= 1 double crochet, insert crochet hook from back to front around double crochet of the previous row);

4^th row, camel yarn: 1 extra chain st increase, single crochets, insert crochet hook from front around double crochet of the previous row.

Stitches control: main pattern: 13 sts x 10,5 rows = 10 x 20 cm;

Relief pattern: 15 sts x 8,5 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

Instructions

Back

Make 67 chain sts + 3 chain sts increase with camel yarn and work with the main pattern. In 126 cm = 66 rows from the set-up row, finish your work.

Front

Make in the same way, as back.

Sleeves

Make 42 chain sts + 3 chain sts increase with camel yarn for each sleeve and work with relief pattern. In 16,5 cm = 14 rows from the set-up row, increase 1 st from both sides for sleeve chamfer, then, 7 x 1 st in every 4^th row = 58 sts. In 51,5 cm = 44 rows from the set-up row, finish your work.

Assembly

Fasten side edges of front and back with 4 rows of pattern for placket. Sew upper edges of front and back in the following way: leave the central 30 cm open for neck-hole, sew 14 cm from both sides for shoulder seams, leave 19,5 cm open for arm-holes and make the rest areas of seams from both sides (= side seams). Make sleeve seams, sew them up.
