​Lana Filet Crochet Top

You’ll need:

150g of beige 100% cotton yarn;

50g of red 100% cotton yarn;

Crochet hook 1,25.

Size: M-L.

Stitches control: 16 filet squares x 16 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

Instructions

At first, make pattern design in natural size due to your measurements.

Start work with the main pattern (scheme 22) from up to down. Take the red yarn and make 1^st-4^th rows. Make 5^th-24^th rows with beige yarn.

1 filet square: 1 double crochet, 1 chain st.

Back

Make 128 chain sts + 3 chain sts increase and work due to the scheme 22 (= 3 pattern repeats +3 chain sts for the symmetry). You should get 2 pattern repeats in height and 2 first rows of the scheme. When the height of your work is 26 cm, leave 4 sts for arm-holes from both sides. At 42 cm height, leave the central 20 sts for neck-hole, after that finish both parts separately. For smooth rounding, leave 1 square x 4 from the inner edge. Make 3 rows on the rest 14 squares and finish your work at 46 cm height.

Front

Make in the same way, as back, but start making neck-hole at 26 cm height, bind off 1 square x 14 times in every row. At 46 cm height, finish your work.

Assembly

Makeshoulderandsideseams. Fasten the neck-hole with 1 row of single crochets and 3 rows of half-crochets. The edges of arm-holes – 1 row of single crochets, 2 rows of half-crochets. For better fitting in front and neck-hole corner, make 2 half-crochets together
