Instructions

Front and Back

Make 40 squares, join them due to the pattern design in the process of work in the following way: start from the 2^nd square, join to the previous squares in the 3^rd circle row. For this, make 1 single crochet in the corresponding arch of the previous square instead of the middle chain st. Make 1 slip st instead of the middle chain st in the corresponding arch of the previous square in corner sts. At first, join 8 squares in a row, then, join the 8^th square to the 1^st in order to get circle. Make 3 rows in such a way = 16 squares. Then, make 1 row of 4 squares of back, make 1 square from both sides for front, leave place for neck-hole. At the same time, make shoulder seams, for this, join the squares of front shoulders to the corresponding squares of back shoulders.

Join the sleeves to the arm-holes. Fasten all the edges with crochet hook 4,5 with 1 circle row of “shrimp stitch”, make 4 and 3 single crochets in the arches of squares, make 1 single crochet in the corner sts between 2 corner sts. Finish each row with 1 slip st in the 1^st chain st. Cast on 66 sts along the lower edge of back and make 6 cm with 2 x 2 rib.
