Used Patterns

Flower pattern: the quantity of sts is multiple 10 + 1. Work due to the scheme. Start every row, as it’s shown in the scheme, with sts before pattern repeat, pattern repeat, finish with sts after pattern repeat. Make 1^st-7^th rows x once, then, repeat 2^nd-7^th rows.

Stripes order: 1 olive row, * 3 dark-turquoise rows, 3 green rows, 3 light-blue rows, 3 lemon rows*; repeat from * to *.

Stitches control: 21,5 sts x 8 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

Instructions

Back

Make 101 (111) chain sts + 2 chain sts increase with olive yarn and work with flower pattern due to the stripes order. In 56 cm = 45 rows (55 cm = 44 rows) from the set-up row, leave 4,5 cm = 10 sts (= 1 pattern repeat) open from both sides for arm-holes. In 75 cm = 60 rows from the set-up row, finish your work. The central 14 cm form neck-hole, outer 12 (14,5) cm – shoulders.

Front

Make in the same way, as back, but with deeper neck-hole. For this, in 65 cm = 52 rows from the set-up row, leave the central 14 cm open and finish both sides separately. Finish your work on 12 (14,5) cm of shoulder at the same hight, as back.

Assembly

Make shoulder seams. Make the 1^st row of flower pattern along the lower edge of back and front with olive yarn. Make side seams.
