You’ll need:

650g of brown Flora yarn (60% cotton, 40% soybean fibre; 140m/50g);

Crochet hook 3,5;

Wooden beads.

Size: S.

Used Patterns

Zigzags pattern: the quantity of sts is multiple 22 + 1 + 3 chain sts increase. Work due to the scheme 1. Repeat the pattern, finish with sts after pattern repeat. Make 1^st-7^th rows x once, then, 3^rd-7^th rows x once = totally, 12 rows.

Leaves pattern: the quantity of sts is multiple 12 + 11 + 3 chain sts increase. Work due to the scheme 2, on which only the last row of double crochets (RS row) is stated. Start with sts before pattern repeat, pattern repeat, finish with sts after pattern repeat. Make 1^st-7^th rows x once.

Shells pattern: the quantity of sts is multiple 12 + 9 + 3 chain sts increase. Work due to the scheme 3, on which the last row of leaves pattern (WS row) is stated. Repeat the pattern, finish with sts after pattern repeat. Make 1^st-9^th rows x once, then, repeat 2^nd-9^th rows.

Stitches control: 24 sts x 9,5 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

Instructions

Back

Make 133 chain sts + 3 chain sts increase and make 12 rows of zigzags pattern. Then, make 11 rows of double crochets, decrease 2 sts in the last row (make 2 double crochets together) = 131 sts. Then, make 7 rows of leaves pattern, decrease 14 sts in the last row = 117 sts. Then, work with shells pattern. In 58,5 cm from the set-up row, leave 12 sts from both sides for arm-holes. In 76 cm from the set-up row, finish your work.

Front

Make in the same way, as back, but with V-shape neck-hole. For this, in 44 cm from the set-up row,leave the central st and finish both sides separately. For chamfer, decrease 30 x 1 st in every row from inwards. Finish your work at the height of back.

Sleeves

Make 89 chain sts + 3 chain sts increase and make 12 rows of zigzags pattern. Then, make 11 rows of double crochets, decrease 6 sts in the last row = 83 sts. Then, make 7 rows of leaves pattern, decrease 2 sts in the last row = 83 sts. Then, work with shells pattern. In 58 cm from the set-up row, finish your work.

Assembly

Make shoulder seams; sew up the sleeves, make side and sleeve seams. Fasten the neck-hole with 2 rows of single crochets and sew threads with beads in every 2^nd crochet.
