Crochet hooks 3,5 and 4.

Used Patterns

Relief arch edge: work due to the scheme A. Start every row with stated quantity of chain sts increase and sts before the 1^st arrow, repeat the pattern between arrows, finish with st after the 2^nd arrow. Make 1^st-9^th rows x once, make 2^nd-9^th rows x twice = totally, 25 rows, then, make 26^th-65^th rows x once and repeat 58^th-65^th rows.

Relief edge: work due to the scheme. Make the 1^st row on already made detail, join the yarn with slip st. Start every row with stated quantity of chain sts increase and to the 1^st arrow, repeat the pattern between arrows, finish with st after the 2^nd arrow. Make double crochet in the 3^rd row and single crochet in the 5^th row around st of the previous row. Make 1^st-5^th rows.

Stitches control: 3,5 pattern repeats x 7,5 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

Instructions

Back

Make 111 (123) chain sts with crochet hook 3,5. Work with relief arch pattern = 18 (20) pattern repeats. In 33 cm = 25 rows, bind off 1 pattern repeat for better fitting due to the scheme A in 26^th-40^th rows = 16 (18) pattern repeats. In 71 cm = 54 rows from the beginning of work, bind off 1 (2) pattern repeats due to the scheme in the 2^nd (4^th) rows= 14 pattern repeats. In 18,5 cm = 14 rows from the beginning of arm-holes, bind off the central 9 pattern repeats for neck-hole and crochet separately on 2,5 pattern repeats from each side. In 4 cm = 3 rows from neck-hole, finish your work.

Front

Make in the same way, as back, but with deeper neck-hole. For this, in 6,5 cm = 5 rows from the beginning of arm-hole, leave the central 3 pattern repeats and crochet separately, bind off 3 pattern repeats more. Finish your work at the height of back.

Assembly

Fasten the set-up row of back and front with relief edge and crochet hook 4, make 97 (109) single crochets in the 1^st row = 8 (9) pattern repeats. Make all seams. Fasten neck-hole with 1 row of single crochets and relief arch pattern from 1^st to 3^rd rows with crochet hook 3,5, starting from shoulder seam. Finish every circle row with slip st. Fasten arm-holes with 1 row of single crochets and 1 row of “crab stitch” with crochet hook 3,5.
