150g of dark-green Alpaca dItalia yarn (50% alpaca, 50% nylon; 300m/50g);

150g of the same yarn, but in brick-red color;

Crochet hook 2.

Used Patterns

Main pattern: * 1 double crochet, 1 chain st*, replace the pattern in every row in chess-board order.

Instructions

Front and Back

Make a chain of 116 cm long and circle them in the ring.

Front

Step back 1,5 cm from both sides for arm-hole and work with straight and reversed rows with main pattern for 6 cm straight. Then, leave the central 24 cm for neck-hole and after that, make each side separately for 12 cm straight.

Back

Make in the same way, as front, but with not so deep neck-hole. For this, at 12 cm height of arm-hole, leave the central 24 cm and finish each part separately for 6 cm.

Sleeves

Make shoulder seams. Work from arm-hole with the main pattern and work with straight and reversed rows, making straps up to your liking. For sleeve widening, make increases due to the scheme 2.
