Used Patterns

Picot edge: the quantity of sts is multiple 16 + 1. Work due to the scheme. Start the 1^st row with 1 chain st increase instead of the 1^st single crochet, start all the rest rows with 3 chain sts increase instead of the 1^st double crochet and sts before pattern repeat, pattern repeat, finish with sts after pattern repeat. Make 1^st-4^th rows x once, then, repeat 3^rd-4^th rows.

Stripes order: make the 1^st and 2^nd rows with Malia yarn, then, * 1 row with Java yarn, 1 row with Cella yarn and 1 row with Malia yarn*; repeat from * to *.

Stitches control: 21 sts x 7 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

Instructions

Back

Make 97 (113) chain sts + 1 chain sts increase with Malia yarn and work with picot edge pattern dye to the stripes order = 5 (6) pattern repeats + initial and final sts. In 50 cm = 35 rows (54,5 cm = 38 rows) from the set-up row, skip the central 49 sts for neck-hole and finish both sides separately. In 51,5 cm = 36 rows (56 cm = 39 rows) from the set-up row, finish your work with 24 (32) sts of shoulder.

Front

Make in the same way, as for back, but in 47 cm = 33 rows (51,5 cm = 36 rows) from the set-up row, skip the central 49 sts.

Sleeves

Work from up to down. At first, make shoulder seams. Then, fasten the upper 18,5 cm = 13 rows (21,5 cm = 15 rows) of front and back side edges, making 65 (81) single crochets with Malia yarn. Continue work with picot edge pattern due to the stripes order, start from the 2^nd row (WS) = 3 (4) pattern repeats + initial and final sts. In 20 (23) rows from the beginning of making sleeves, make 1 row of single crochets with Malia yarn and in 30 cm = 21 rows (34,5 cm = 24 rows) from the beginning of sleeves, finish your work.

Assembly

Make side and sleeve seams. Fasten the edge of neck-hole with 2 circle rows of single crochets with Malia yarn, start every circle row with 1 chain st instead of the 1^st single crochet and finish with 1 slip st in chain st increase.
