Used Patterns

Net pattern: the quantity of sts is multiple 27 + 1 + 1 chain st increase. Work due to the scheme. Start every row with 1 chain st increase in addition to the 1^st single crochet or 3 chain sts increase instead of the 1^st double crochet. Start 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.

Stitches control: 43,5 sts x 20 rows = 10 x 10 cm.
