400 (450)g of mélange lilac Lucia yarn (27% bamboo, 28% viscose, 19% cotton, 24% polyamide, 2% polyester; 90m/50g);

Crochet hook 4.

Used Patterns

Lace pattern: due to the scheme. Start with sts before pattern repeat, pattern repeat, finish with sts after pattern repeat. Repeat 1^st-18^th rows.

Fringe: 1^st row: single crochets;

2^nd row: * 1 slip st, skip 2 sts, 5 double crochets in 1 base st, skip 2 sts*; repeat from * to *.

Stitches control: 18,5 sts x 7 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

Instructions

Back

Make 82 (100) chain sts + 3 chain sts increase and work with lace pattern. In 46 cm from the set-up row, work on 82 (100) double crochets, start every row with 3 chain sts increase instead of the 1^st double crochet. In 52 cm from the set-up row, decrease 6 (7) cm from both sides due to the pattern design for arm-holes. In 10 cm from the beginning of arm-hole, make V-shape neck-hole due to the pattern design on the central 24 (28) cm. In 18 cm from the beginning of arm-hole, finish your work.

Front

Make in the same way, as back, but with deeper neck-hole. For this, make V-shape neck-hole due to the pattern design on the central 24 (28) cm.

Assembly

Make shoulder and side seams. Fasten V-shape neck-hole with fringe, arm-holes – with 1 row of single crochets and 1 row of “shrimp stitch”.
