Instructions
At first, make the details of bra (back and 2 halves of front), then, make bottom part as one-piece cloth without seams. Work from shoulder seams from up to down.
Back
Start work from up to shoulder seams. At first, make each shoulder separately, then, connect them in back part of bra and crochet to arm-holes. Work with the main pattern due to the scheme 2-3. Make 25 chain sts (the quantity of sts is multiple 6 + 1) for each shoulder, make 3 chain sts increase for the new row and continue work with the main pattern due to the scheme 2-3 (4 pattern repeats). Work with straight and reversed rows. Increases for sts for neck-hole is stated on the scheme. Instructions for left shoulder are stated on the scheme, make right shoulder in reflection to left shoulder. After making both shoulders (7 rows due to the scheme), connect them in one-piece cloth in the 8th row and crochet back detail straight (14 pattern repeats). In 18 cm from the set-up row, increase sts due to the scheme 2-2 for arm-holes (19th-22nd rows). Increases for left side are stated on the scheme. Make increases from right side in reflection. Make increases for arm-holes and leave your work.
Front
Work from up to down. Start your work from shoulder. Make 25 chain sts + 3 chain sts increase for the new row and crochet with straight and reversed rows due to the scheme 2-2 (4 pattern repeats). Repeat 2nd-3rd rows x 3 times. After that, make increases due to the scheme from the 10th to the 20th rows from neck-hole side for chamfer. Make arm-hole in the same way, as for back (see the scheme 2-2 from the 19th to the 22nd rows). Make increases for arm-holes and leave your work. Make second front in reflection.
Bottom Part
Connect all the details of bra (back and 2 halves of front) and make bottom part as one-piece cloth, but without side seams with straight and reversed rows. Crochet straight with the main pattern due to the scheme 2-1 (32 pattern repeats). After making work of 46 cm long from the beginning of arm-holes, finish your work under bottom part.
Assembly
Fasten edges of arm-holes in the same way, as edges of front and neck-hole and fasten them with the pattern due to the scheme 2-4.
