​Relief Crochet Pullover

You’ll need:

300g of pink-white Donita yarn (60% cotton, 40% polyamide; 140m/50g);

150g of white Sandy yarn (100% cotton; 120m/50g);

Crochet hooks 3,5 and 4.

Size: S.

Used Patterns

Main pattern: the quantity of sts is multiple 31 + 22. Work due to the scheme. Start with sts before pattern repeat, pattern repeat, finish with sts after pattern repeat. Make 1^st-15^th rows, then, repeat 6^th-15^th rows.

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

Instructions

Back

Make 84 chain sts + 1 chain st increase with white yarn and work with the main pattern. In 14,5 cm = 11 rows from the set-up row, continue work with crochet hook 3,5 and Donita yarn. In 66 cm = 50 rows from the set-up row, finish your work.

Front

Make in the same way, as back, but with neck-hole. In 53,5 cm = 40 rows from the set-up row, skip the central 4 cm and finish both sides separately. For smooth rounding, bind off 2 x 2 cm and 4 x 1 cm in every row from inwards. Finish your work on the rest sts of shoulder at the height of back.

Sleeves

Make 45 chain sts + 1 chain st increase with white yarn and crochet hook 4 and work with the main pattern from arrow A to B. Start every row with 3 initial chain sts instead of the 1^st double crochet and finish with 1 double crochet. Change the color of yarn in the same way, as for back. At the same time, increase 6 cm for sleeve chamfers during the next 36 cm. At first, make increases as double crochets and then include them in the pattern. Finish your work in 37 cm from colors change.

Assembly

Make shoulder, side and sleeve seams. Sew up the sleeves. Fasten neck-hole with 1 circle row of single crochets and 1 circle row of “shrimp stitch”.
