Fancy White Top
You’ll need:
250 (300)g of white Baumwoll-Cablee yarn (100% cotton; 150m/50g);
Crochet hook 3.
Size: S (M).
Used Patterns
Main pattern: the quantity of sts is multiple 8 + 1 + 3 chain sts increase. Work due to the scheme. Start every row with 3 or 1 chain st increase instead of the 1st double or single crochet and sts before pattern repeat, pattern repeat, finish with sts after pattern repeat. Make 1st-7th rows x once, then, repeat 2nd-7th rows.
Stitches control: 23 sts x 10,5 rows = 10 x 10 cm.
Instructions
Make 129 (137) chain sts + 3 chain sts increase and work with the main pattern. In 9, 18 and 27 cm from the set-up row, leave 5 x 1 cm in every 6th row from both sides for side chamfers. In 34 cm from the set-up row, leave 2 cm from both sides for raglan chamfers and bind off 10 x 1 cm in every row and every 2nd row by turn. At the same time, in 46 cm from the set-up row, leave the central 10 cm for the neck-hole and finish both sides separately. For smooth rounding, bind off 2 cm in the next row from inwards. Finish your work in 52 cm from the set-up row, finish on the rest sts of shoulders from each side. Make seams.
Why don’t you ever post patterns that have actual step directions? I cannot follow the directions written in the manner of this pattern, thus I cannot attempt to crochet anything! I’m certain there are others of the same mind as me!
Hi Mary,
I don't mean to overstep Susan, but I was in the same boat about graphs instead of written directions until I found that CraftOrator has Crochet tips for different stitches and for reading this type of directions. It made it easy for me.
Thank you, Becky
