Used Patterns
Main pattern: the quantity of sts is multiple 5 + 2. Work due to the scheme 1. Start with sts before pattern repeat, pattern repeat, make 1st-3rd rows x once, then, repeat 2nd-3rd rows.
Picot edge: the quantity of sts is multiple 20 + 1. Work in the same way, as the main pattern, but due to the scheme 2. Make 1st-5th rows x once, then, repeat 4th-5th rows.
Stitches control: main pattern: 26 sts x 10 rows = 10 x 10 cm;
Picot pattern: 28,5 sts x 7,75 rows = 10 x 10 cm.
Instructions
At first, make 92 chain sts + 3 chain sts increase and work with main pattern with dark-brown yarn for left front. In 53 cm from the set-up row, shoulder line is reached, in 59 cm from the set-up row, leave your work. Make right front in the same way. Then, for back, work on both details as one-piece cloth, for this, make same sts together in the 1st row. In 47 cm from connection of work or in 106 cm from the set-up row, finish your work.
For back picot border, make 201 chain sts with orange yarn, for front picot borders make 101 chain sts + 3 chain sts increase and work with picot pattern. In 15,5 cm = 12 rows from the set-up row, continue work with orange-coral yarn. In 31 cm = 24 rows from the set-up row, finish your work.
Assembly
Sew picot border with tops of set-up row to lower edges of front and back. For strap, make 3 chain sts + 3 chain sts increase and work with double crochets, start every row with 3 chain sts instead of the 1st double crochet. Finish your work in 180 cm.
I'm confused where is the picot border?????
It's along the edges of front and back
Picots are loops of thread/yarn...usually made with chain stitches… and are then often surrounded by more stitches. I don't see any looped trim.
