Instructions
Upper Part of Back
Make 82 chain sts + 3 chain sts increase with orange-brown yarn and work with the main pattern. In 6,5 cm = 7 rows from set-up row, finish your work.
Upper Part of Front
Start in the same way, as upper part of back, but in 7 cm = 8 rows from the set-up row, make decreases for arm-holes from both sides, as stated. At the same time, in 9 cm = 10 rows from the set-up row, divide your work in half and finish both sides separately. For this, turn in the center and finish left side as stated in the 11th row. For strap, repeat 21st and 22nd rows after the 22nd row. In 33 cm = 36 rows from the beginning of strap, finish your work. Make right half in symmetry.
Lower Part of Top
Make side seams of upper part, work with pattern of arches along the lower edge with brown yarn (= 16 pattern repeats = 160 sts. The rest 4 sts will be used for side seams). In 29 cm = 26 rows from upper part, finish your work.
Assembly
Sew straps to back. Fasten all the edges with 1 row of single crochets with brown yarn. Fasten the upper edge of back with brown yarn in the following way: 5 double crochets in every single crochet.
Well it's a shame you don't come in 3x pattern so I can see how many how much it would take and how many stitches across it would take.
me. Wish I cold read this kind of pattern. Can't teach an old dog any more tricks. Lol
Your creation is beautiful. Well done.
