Used Patterns

Relief pattern: the quantity of sts is multiple 4 + 1. Work due to the scheme 1. Start with sts before pattern repeat, pattern repeat, finish with sts after pattern repeat. Make 1^st-3^rd rows x once, then, repeat 2^nd-3^rd rows.

Relief placket: the quantity of sts is multiple 12. Work due to the scheme 2 with circle rows. Make 1^st-7^th rows x once.

Stitches control: double crochets: 14,5 sts x 8 rows = 10 x 10 cm;

Relief pattern: 14,5 sts x 7 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

In 17 cm from the set-up row, leave 6 sts from both sides for arm-holes. In 27 (29) cm from the set-up row, leave the central 20 (22) cm for neck-hole and finish both sides separately, work with relief pattern. In 36 (38) cm from the set-up row, finish your work.

Sleeves

Make shoulder seams; make 57 (61) single crochets along the long edge of arm-hole, then, work with relief pattern. In 4 cm from the beginning of sleeve, leave 1 (0,5) cm from both sides for sleeve chamfers and 8 (6) x 1 cm in every 2^nd row. In 33 cm from the beginning of sleeve, finish your work.

Sew sleeves to the short edges of arm-holes; make side and sleeve seams. Make relief placket along the bottom edge and sleeves, make 132 (156) single crochets and 36 (48) single crochets in the 1^st row accordingly. Fasten the neck-hole with 1 row of “shrimp stitch”.
