Main pattern: the quantity of sts is multiple 8 + 3 chain sts increase instead of the 1^st double crochet. Make 1^st-3^rd rows x once, then, repeat 2^nd-3^rd rows.

Stripes order: 8 brown Giava rows, * 7 beige rows, 7 mint rows, 7 pink rows, 7 brown row*; repeat from * to * x twice, finish with 7 beige rows, 7 mint rows, 7 pink rows and 8 brown rows = totally, 121 rows. For ruffle, stretch Vintage yarn in width and catch it in every 1^st row, when changing colors.

Stitches control: 25,5 sts x 7,5 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

Instructions

Make 64 (72) 80 chain sts with brown yarn and make 3 chain sts increase instead of double crochet and work with the main pattern due to the stripes order. At the same time, increase 8 x 1 st in every 4^th row from both sides for chamfers, include the increased sts in the pattern = 80 (88) 96 sts. In 52 cm = 39 rows (50,5 cm = 38 rows) 49 cm = 37 rows from set-up chain, make 1 x 16 chain sts from both sides for side edges, include the increased sts in the pattern = 112 (120) 128 sts. In 80,5 cm = 61 rows the middle of back is reached. After that, finish detail in symmetry. In 161 cm = 121 rows from the set-up row, finish your work.
