​Turquoise Crochet Jumper

You’ll need:

250g of 100% cotton yarn in turquoise color (110m/50g);

Crochet hook 4,5.

Size: S (M).

Used Patterns

Main pattern: double crochets. Start every row with 3 chain sts increase instead of the 1^st double crochet and finish with 1 double crochet in the last chain st increase of the previous row;

Pineapple pattern: the quantity of sts is multiple 23 + 13. Work due to the scheme. Start with sts before pattern repeat, pattern repeat, finish with sts after pattern repeat. Make 1^st-20^th rows x once, then, repeat 3^rd-20^th rows, finish with 21^st row.

Stitches control: main pattern: 19,5 sts x 11 rows = 10 x 10 cm;

Pineapple pattern: 19,5 sts x 8 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

Note: for front and back make the border with pattern from up to down, then, fasten it with the main pattern. Crochet the sleeves from up to down.

Instructions

Back

Make 82 (105) chain sts for border + 3 chain sts increase and work with pineapple pattern. In 26 cm = 21 rows from the set-up row, finish your work. Then, fasten the set-up row with the main pattern, make 82 (105) double crochets in the 1^st row. Decrease 10 (13) sts in the 2^nd row (make 2 double crochets together) = 72 (92) sts. In 12 cm = 13 rows from the beginning, decrease 1 st from both sides for the raglan chamfer, then, 11 (13) x 1 st in every row = 48 (64) sts. Make 2 double crochets together in the next row and finish your work on the rest 24 (32)sts in 12 cm = 13 rows (13,5 cm = 15 rows) from the beginning of raglan.

Front

Make in the same way, as back.

Sleeves

Make 59 (82) chain sts + 3 chain sts increase and work with pineapple pattern. In 49 cm = 39 rows from the set-up row, finish your work.
