Instructions

Caston 150 sts and work with 1 x 1 ribf or 6 rows. Increase 18 sts in the next row (9 x 2 sts): make 9 x (1 knit st, 1 purl) from broachings. Include these sts in rib. Make 6 more rows, bind off sts loosely.

After that, work with crochet hook. Make 1 row of single crochets = about 168 sts along the edge of rib. Then, work with the main pattern due to the scheme 1, there should be 42 arches in the beginning of scheme. After making 17 rows of the main pattern, divide all sts in the following way: 11 elements of pattern – for each sleeve, 10 elements of pattern – front and back (each). Mark the parts with contrast yarn or special markers and finish each part separately.

Back and Front

Work around only with sts of front and back, add 1 element of pattern from each side = 22 elements. Make 18 rows straight, then decreases due to the scheme 2.

After that, make 10 rows with 1 chain st between elements and 3 rows, as 3^rd and 4^th rows due to the scheme 1. After that, work due to the scheme 3 to the needed length.
