You’ll need:

200g of pink-violet Nova yarn (46% cotton, 54% polyamide; 120m/50g);

Crochet hook 5.

Size: S.

Used Patterns

Main pattern: the quantity of sts is multiple 20 + 1 + 3 chain sts increase. Work due to the scheme 1. Start every row with 3 or 1 chain sts increase instead of the 1st double or single crochet and sts before pattern repeat, pattern repeat, finish with sts after pattern repeat. Make 1st-7th rows x once, then, repeat 2nd-7th rows. Make single crochets in the arches of the previous row, starting from the 2nd row.

Net pattern: the quantity of sts is multiple 4 + 1 + 1 chain st increase. Make in the same way, as the main pattern, but due to the scheme 2. Make 1st-4th rows x once, then, repeat 3rd-4th rows. 1 single crochet and 5 chain sts = 1 arch.

Fringe: 1 chain st increase, * 1 picot, skip 1 st, 1 single crochet*; repeat from * to *.

Stitches control: main pattern: 19 sts x 10 rows = 10 x 10 cm;

Net pattern: 29 sts x 10 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

Instructions

Back/Front

Make 81 chain sts + 3 chain sts increase and make 3 cm for plackets = 3 rows of the main pattern, start from the 5th row of the scheme = 3 pattern repeats + ½ pattern repeat from both sides. Then, work with net pattern along the set-up row, starting from the 2nd row due to the scheme = 20 arches. In 27 cm = 27 rows from the placket, work with the main pattern, starting from the 5th row due to the scheme. In 30 cm = 30 rows from the placket, leave ½ pattern repeat from both sides for arm-holes = 3 pattern repeats. In 39 cm = 39 rows from the placket, leave the central 33 sts for the neck-hole and finish both sides separately. For smooth rounding, leave 3 sts from inwards in the next row = ½ arch. In 48 cm = 48 rows from the placket, finish your work.

Assembly

Make shoulder and side seams; fasten neck-hole and arm-holes with fringe.
