Used Patterns

Main pattern: the quantity of sts is multiple 6 + 1 + 3 chain sts increase. 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, then repeat 2^nd-3^rd rows.

Net pattern: the quantity of sts is multiple 4 + 2 + 1 chain st increase. Work due to the scheme 2. Start with sts before pattern repeat, pattern repeat, finish with sts after pattern repeat. Make 1^st-3^rd rows x once, then, repeat 2^nd-3^rd rows x 13 times = 29 rows.

Pattern for yoke: make in the same way, as net pattern, make 4^th-6^th rows x once, then, repeat 5^th-6^th rows.

Relief pattern (8 sts wide): due to the scheme 3. Make 1^st-5^th rows x once, then, repeat 5^th and 6^th rows, finish with the 6^th row.

Stitches control: main pattern: 17 sts x 8 rows = 10 x 10 cm;

Net pattern: 23 sts x 13 rows = 10 x 10 cm;

Pattern for yoke: 23 sts x 20 rows = 10 x 10 cm.
