Instructions
Make 120 (129) 138 chain sts and circle them in the ring with 1 slip st and work with lace pattern = 40 (43) 46 arches. Mark the beginning and middle of circle row. In 30 cm from the set-up row, decrease 7 x 1 arch in every 4th row = 26 (29) 32 arches. In 50 cm from the set-up row, finish your work. Cast on 70 (74) 82 sts along the upper edge and work with rib. In 62 (61) 60 cm from the set-up row, divide your work at marks = 35 (37) 41 sts for back and front. At first, make back, bind off 1 x 2 sts and 4 (4) 5 x 1 st in every 2nd row from both sides = 23 (25) 27 sts. In 15 (16) 17 cm from the beginning of arm-holes, bind off the central 9 (9) 11 sts for neck-hole and finish both sides separately. For smooth rounding, bind off 1 x 2 sts and 1 x 1 st in every 2nd row from inwards. In 82 cm from the set-up row, bind off the rest 4 (5) 5 sts. Then, make front arm-holes in the same way, as for back. In 64 (63) 62 cm form the set-up row, bind off the central st for V-shape neck-hole and finish both sides separately. For neck-hole chamget, bind off 2 (3) 4 x 1 st in every 4th row and 5 (4) 4 x 1 st in every 2nd row. Bind off the rest 4 (5) 5 sts at the height of back. Make shoulder chamfers, fasten neck-hole and arm-holes with 1 row of single crochets.
