​Relief Green Tunic

You’ll need:

550 (600) 650g of light-green Binario yarn (50% cotton, 50% polyamide; 100m/50g);

Crochet hook 4,5.

Size: S (M) L.

Used Patterns

“Spiders” pattern: the quantity of sts is multiple 18 + 1 + 3 chain sts increase. Work due to the scheme. Start with sts before pattern repeat, pattern repeat, finish with sts after pattern repeat. Make 1^st-10^th rows x once, then, repeat 3^rd-10^th rows.

Stitches control: double crochets: 15 sts x 8 rows = 10 x 10 cm;

“spiders” pattern: 19 sts x 7,5 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

Instructions

Back

Make 91 (97) 103 chain sts + 3 chain sts increase and work with “spiders” pattern, for size M, start with sts from arrow A and sts before pattern repeat, finish with sts after pattern repeat and sts before arrow C; for L size, start with sts from arrow B and sts before pattern repeat, finish with sts after pattern repeat and sts before arrow D. In 47 cm from the set-up row, work with double crochets, make 72 (77) 81 double crochets in the 1^st row. Start every row with 3 chain sts increase instead of the 1^st double crochet. In 56 cm from the set-up row, leave 5 sts from both sides for arm-holes and 3 x 1 st in every row = 56 (61) 65 sts. At 71 (71) 73 cm height of the main pattern, leave 28 (29) 29 sts and finish both sides separately. In 73,5 (73,5) 75,5 cm from the set-up row, finish your work.

Front

Make in the same way, as back, but with deeper neck-hole. For this, in 55 (55) 57 cm from the set-up row, divide your work in half and finish both sides separately. In 61 (61) 63 cm from the set-up row, leave the central 10 sts for neck-hole. For smooth rounding, bind off 4 x 1 st in every 2^nd row from inwards.

Sleeves

Make 55 (55) 61 chain sts and work with “spiders” pattern, for L size, make 3 double crochets from both sides. In 23 cm from the set-up row, leave 3 cm from both sides for sleeve caps and 10 x 1 cm in every row. In 38 cm from the set-up row, finish your work.

Assembly

Make shoulder seams, sew up the sleeves, make side and sleeve seams. Fasten neck-hole and cut with 1 row of single crochets and 1 row of “shrimp stitch”. Make 2 straps 55 cm long.
