Used Patterns

Wavy pattern: the quantity of sts is multiple 16 + 1. Work due to the scheme. Start with sts before pattern repeat, pattern repeat, finish with sts after pattern repeat. Make 1^st-10^th rows x once, then, repeat 3^rd-19^th rows.

Pattern for placket: work with half crochets, insert the crochet hook only through back loop. Start every row with 2 chain sts increase instead of the 1^st half crochet and finish with 1 half crochet in the 2^nd chain st increase of the previous row.

Stitches control: wavy pattern: 17 sts x 13 rows = 10 x 10 cm;

Pattern for placket: 16,5 sts x 15 rows = 10 x 10 cm.
