​Crochet Top with Holes

You’ll need:

300 (350)g of green (#25) Lana Gross Aria yarn (100% cotton; 165m/50g);

Crochet hook 3.

Size: S (M).

Used Patterns

Pattern with holes: the quantity of sts is multiple 4 + 1 + 3 chain sts increase. Work due to the scheme. Start every row with 3 chain sts increase. Make the last double crochet of every row in the 3^rd chain st increase. Start with sts before the 1^st arrow, repeat 4 sts of pattern between arrows, finish with sts after the 2^nd arrow. Make double crochets in the 3^rd row in chain sts of the previous row. Make 1^st-4^th rows x once, repeat 3^rd-4^th rows.

Stitches control: 26 sts x 9 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

Instructions

Front

Make 89 (97) chain sts + 3 chain sts increase and work with pattern with holes, make the first 2 double crochets in the 5^th chain st from the crochet hook = 22 (24) pattern repeats and 90 (98) sts. For chamfers, increase 1 double crochet in every 2^nd row from both sides, then, repeat these increases x 9 times in every 2^nd row = 110 (118) sts. Include double crochets in pattern with holes. In 10 cm = 9 rows from the set-up row, mark side seam from both sides, mark the beginning of arm-hole and end of side seam in 15,5 cm = 13 rows. For arm-holes, bind off 20 x 1 st in the 1^st row from the 2^nd mark, then in every row. In 22,5 cm = 21 rows from the beginning of arm-holes, finish your work on the rest 68 (76) sts. Totally, 43 rows.

Back

Start in the same way, as front. In 10 cm = 9 rows from the set-up row = 98 (106) divide your work in half and then work separately, making increases and decreases from both sides as for front, crochet straight in the center, increase 1 double crochet for finishing edge. Finish back at the height of front.

Lower Placket

Crochet across as one-piece work. Make 33 chain sts + 3 chain sts increase and work with pattern with holes, make the first 2 double crochets in the 5^th chain st from the crochet hook = 8 pattern repeats or 34 sts. In 86 (94) cm = 77 (85) rows from the set-up row, finish your work.

Assembly

Fold lower placket in half and connect short sides = center of back. Make shoulder seams to 3 (4) cm from both sides. Then, connect both halves of back to 1 cm. Make side seams to 15,5 cm to arm-holes, lower 10 cm for cuts remain open. Fasten cuts of back, lower side cuts and arm-holes with 1 row of single crochets. Fold lower placket in half in order to seam is on the center of back and sew 34 (38) cm of front and back in the middle. Fasten the lower edge of placket with 1 row of single crochets.
