Pattern for summer tunic
Hello, everyone!
As I promised, here is the pattern for summer tunic.
I'm very sorry for my instructions, I'm not good at it.
Materials and Tools:
350g of yarn (50% cotton, 50% linen);
Crochet hook 3-4 mm.
Size: S , M, L, XL.
Instructions
S size
80 ch
1st row: randomly 60 increases, total 140 dc;
2nd row: randomly 20 increases, total 160 dc.
Begin the ring stitch , into the second round of the stitch there will be 14 rings
M size
120 ch
1st row: randomly 60 increases, total 180 dc;
2nd row: randomly 20 increases, total 200 dc.
Begin the ring stitch , into the second round of the stitch there will be 20 rings
L size
160 ch
1st row: randomly 60 increases, total 220 dc;
2nd row: randomly 20 increases, total 240 dc.
Begin the ring stitch, into the second round of the stitch there will be 24 rings
XL size
200 ch
1st row: randomly 60 increases, total 260 dc;
2nd row: randomly 20 increases, total 280 dc.
Begin the ring stitch , into the second round of the stitch there will be 28 rings.
Note
If the neck line is too large into the unworked loops of the ch with a smaller hook work 2 sc rounds, if necessary into the second sc round work some dec ( 8 - 10 ). If it fits perfectly then work a sc round with the same crochet hook size and a crab stitch round with a smaller crochet hook size. Work single crochets around the arm hole too when the top is finished and a crab stitch round with a smaller size hook.
The rings stitch is worked in sequence of 4 rounds or rows, then this sequence is to be repeated for the length.
For all sizes work one sequence of the ring stitch after the dc rounds then divide in front and back, leaving outside the straps (2 rings per one strap for all sizes). So after the border is ready, you will work in rows.
Into the 3rd row make your first increase and then increase in each of your 5th row or into the first row of each new sequence, for one side and then you will repeat exactly the same for the other side. You will continue increasing into the 5th round after the two parts (front and back) will be joint together. If it's too ruffle you can increase in each of the 10th round or you can actually stop increasing. When the length until underarms is perfect join again in rounds and on the underarm add at list 10 ch, into the next round you will work on the 10 ch.
I like your instructions better than a graph. Keep it simple lol

Note
If the neck line is too large into the unworked loops of the ch with a smaller hook work 2 sc rounds, if necessary into the second sc round work some dec ( 8 — 10 ). If it fits perfectly then work a sc round with the same crochet hook size and a crab stitch round with a smaller crochet hook size. Work single crochets around the arm hole too when the top is finished and a crab stitch round with a smaller size hook .
The rings stitch is worked in sequence of 4 rounds or rows, then this sequence is to be repeated for the length. This is very important for the to p construction.
For all sizes work one sequence of the ring stitch after the dc rounds then divide in front and back, leaving outside the straps ( 2 rings per one strap for all sizes) . So after the border is ready, you will work in rows .
Into the 3rd row make your first increase ( watch the video ) and then increase in each of your 5th row or into the first row of each new sequence, for one side and then you will repeat exactly the same for the other side. You will continue increasing into the 5th round after the two parts ( front and back ) will be joint together. If it's too ruffle you can increase in each of the 10th round or you can actually stop increasing
In mine ( M size ) I increase only 3 times more after I joint the back and the front .
When the length until underarms is perfect join again in rounds and on the underarm add at list 10 ch, into the next round you will work on the 10 ch as the pattern stitch says .
I will also post the place on YouTube for the link to the video of the pattern where you can understand it a little better. youtu.be/EwcBHnhbMWw Just type that in on YouTube and the video will pop up so you can watch it.
