​Relief Green Crochet Tunic

You’ll need:

400 (450) 500g of green Seta yarn (100% silk; 120m/50g);

Crochet hook 3,5.

Size: S (M) L.

Used Patterns

Main pattern: the quantity of sts is multiple 6 + 3. Work due to the scheme 1. Start with sts before pattern repeat, pattern repeat, finish with sts after pattern repeat. Make 1^st-3^rd rows x once, 2^nd and 3^rd rows x 5 times, 4^th and 5^th rows x 5 times, then, repeat the 6^th and 7^th rows.

Lace: the quantity of sts is multiple 27. Work with circle rows due to the scheme 2. Start every circle row with chain st instead of the 1^st st and finish with 1 slip st. Make 1^st-9^th circle rows x once.

Stitches control: main pattern: 3,5 pattern repeats x 9 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

Instructions

Back

Make 93 (105) 117 chain sts + 3 chain sts increase and work with the main pattern = 14 (16) 18 pattern repeats + ½ of pattern repeat from both sides + initial and final sts. In 52 (56) 60 cm from the set-up row, leave 1 pattern repeat from both sides for arm-holes and 3 (5) 5 x ½ pattern repeat in every row. Finish at 4 (5) 6 cm height of arm-hole on the rest 10 (10) 12 pattern repeats + initial and final sts.

Front

Make in the same way, as back, but at 4 (5) 6 cm height of arm-holes, leave the central 8 (8) 10 pattern repeats for the neck-hole, make 32 (34) 36 cm from both sides on 1 pattern repeat + 1 double crochet from both sides for the straps and finish your work.

Assembly

Make side seams. Sew the straps to the back. Fasten the lower edge with lace = 8 (9) 10 pattern repeats.
