​Striped Crochet Top in Green and Red Colors

You’ll need:

200 (250) 250g of light-green Cotofine yarn yarn (70% cotton, 30% polyamide; 90m/50g);

100 (150) 150g of the same yarn, but in red color;

Crochet hook 6.

Size: S (M) L.

Used Patterns

Main pattern: the quantity of sts is multiple 6 + 1. Work due to the scheme. Start with sts before pattern repeat, pattern repeat, finish with sts after pattern repeat. Make 1^st-13^th rows x once, then, repeat 4^th-13^th rows.

Stitches control: 18 sts x 6,5 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

Instructions

Back

Make 79 (85) 97 chain sts + 3 chain sts increase with red yarn and work with the main pattern. In 35 (35) 33 cm from the set-up row, bind off 4 cm from both sides for arm-holes. In 54 cm from the set-up row, finish your work.

Front

Make in the same way, as back, but with neck-hole. For this, in 44,5 cm from the set-up row, bind off the central 18 cm and finish both sides separately. Finish your work on the rest sts of shoulder at the height of back.

Assembly

Make seams with light-green yarn. Fasten the edges of neck-hole and arm-holes with 1 circle row of single crochets and 1 circle row of “shrimp stitch” with light-green yarn.
