​Crochet Peach Top with Hood

You’ll need:

500 (550) 600g of light-orange Lampone yarn (70% cotton, 30% polyamide; 135m/50g);

Crochet hooks 3,5 and 4.

Size: S (M) L.

Used Patterns

Main pattern: the quantity of sts is multiple 8 + 1. Work due to the scheme. Start with sts before pattern repeat, pattern repeat, finish with sts after pattern repeat. Make 1st-4th rows x once, then, repeat 3rd-4th rows.

Note: sts after pattern repeat are stated as 1 pattern repeat.

Stitches control: 21 sts x 9 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

Instructions

Back

Make 97 (105) 113 chain sts + 3 chain sts with crochet hook 4, increase and work with main pattern = 12 (13) 14 pattern repeats + 2 initial sts. In 34 (36) 38 cm from the set-up row, change to crochet hook 3,5. In 46 (48) 50 cm from the set-up row, leave ½ pattern repeat for arm-hole from both sides and bind off 3 x ½ pattern repeat in every row = 8 (9) 10 pattern repeats + 2 initial sts. In 22 (23) 24 cm from the beginning of arm-holes, finish your work.

Front

Assembly

At 40 cm height of hood, fold it in half and connect the halves from inner side with slip sts. Fasten the edges of arm-holes with 2 rows of single crochets and 1 row of “crab stitch” with crochet hook 3,5. Fasten the edges of hood with 2 rows of single crochets and 1 row of “crab stitch”.
