Instructions

Back

Make 12 rose-knots and connect them in the rectangular due to the pattern design (2 x 6 rose-knots). For upper part, fasten the upper edge of rectangular due to the scheme 1, start at arrow A. Then, make 1 row of single crochets = 73 sts. Then, work with relief pattern, increase 18 sts in the 1^st row = 91 sts. For side chamfers, increase 6 x 1 st in every row from both sides, starting from relief pattern = 103 sts. In 6 cm = 7 rows from the beginning of relief pattern, leave 6 sts from both sides for arm-holes and 3 x 2 sts in every 2^nd row = 79 sts. In 22 cm = 26 rows from the beginning of relief pattern, leave the central 41 sts and finish both sides separately. For smooth rounding, bind off 1 x 3 sts and 1 x 2 sts in every 2^nd row from inwards. In 26 cm = 31 rows from relief pattern, finish your work. For lower part, fasten the lower edge of rectangular in the same way, as upper edge with relief pattern = 91 sts. For widening, increase 8 x 1 st in every 2^nd row from both sides = 107 sts. In 15 cm = 18 rows from the beginning of relief pattern, make 1 row of single crochets, decrease 1 st = 106 sts. Then, work with pattern of arches. In 26 cm = 27 rows from the beginning of pattern of arches, work with festoons pattern on 127 sts. In 9,5 cm = 8 rows, finish your work.
