Used Patterns

Main pattern: work due to the scheme. Straps, upper details of back and front = 1^st-6^th rows are stated on the scheme. Start every row with 3 chain sts increase instead of the 1^st double crochet, then, make the sts of the scheme x once. Work due to the instructions while making 1^st-6^th rows of straps. Then, work with circle rows. Start every circle row with 3 chain sts increase instead of the 1^st double crochet, sts of the scheme for back and front x once, finish with 1 slip st in the 3^rd chain st increase. Make 1^st-7^th rows until you get 20 circle rows, then, repeat 14^th-20^th circle rows x once.

Stitches control: main pattern (straps): 6 sts x 4,25 rows = 4 x 10 cm;

Main pattern (starting from the 1^st row): 11 sts x 5,5 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

Note: make front and back from up to down. Start with straps.

Instructions

Upper Detail of Back

Make 6 chain sts + 3 chain sts increase and make 12 cm = 5 rows due to the scheme for the 1^st strap of upper detail of back. For the second strap, make 6 chain sts + 3 chain sts increase and make 14 cm = 6 rows due to the scheme, make 23 chain sts in the end of the 6^th row for neck-hole and finish with the 6^th row above the 1^st strap. Make 1^st-5^th rows due to the scheme on both straps and neck-hole, leave the sts.

Upper Detail of Front

Make in the same way, as upper detail of back, but make 1^st-6^th rows due to the scheme x once, then, repeat 6^th row on the sts of back x once, make 1 double crochet instead of 3 chain sts increase, finish with 1 slip st in the 3^rd chain st increase. 6^th row of front and back relates to arm-holes: the height of arm-hole = 35 cm, including the edges of straps. After that, work as one-piece cloth on both details with circle rows: make the sts of scheme on front x once, starting from the 7^th row, then, repeat these actions on back x once, make 1 double crochet instead of 3 chain sts increase and finish with 1 slip st in the 3^rd chain st increase. In 20 rows from the edge of neck-hole, repeat 14^th-20^th circle rows x once, start with 1 V-shape corner in the center, make all the rest sts due to the pattern. In 49 cm = 27 circle rows from neck-hole, finish your work. Make straps seams.
