Instructions

Back

Cast on 94 sts and make 10 cm of rib, increase 3 sts in the last row. Then, work with relief pattern with cables between selvage sts. In 50 cm from rib, bind off the sts. Make 71 single crochets along the bound off edge. Make 18 cm of single crochets and finish your work.

Front

Make in the same way, as back, but with straps. For this, in 18 cm form the beginning of single crochets, leave 13 sts from both sides open for arm-holes and 29 sts for neck-hole. Make starps on the rest 8 sts from both sides with single crochets. In 40 cm, finish your work.

Assembly

Sew straps to the upper edge of back. Fasten neck-hole, inner side of straps, arm-holes and outer sides of straps with edge with arches.
