Instructions

Make 140 chain sts and circle them in the ring, work with rnds. Make 1^st-13^th rows due to the scheme 1, repeat sts of pattern repeat. The first 1 ½ pattern repeat form left half of back, the next 4 pattern repeats – left sleeve, next 3 pattern repeats – front, the next 4 pattern repeats – right sleeve and the next 1 ½ pattern repeat – right half of back – 14 pattern repeats. After that, make the 14^th and 15^th rows due to the scheme 2 in the following way: join the yarn to the center of back for left half of back (arrow B on the scheme 1) and fasten the next 6 arrows with ½ pattern repeats due to the scheme 3.

Put mark and skip the next 4 pattern repeats of the scheme 1 for left arm-holes, for front, make ½ pattern repeat due to the scheme 2 on the next 3 pattern repeats of 13 arrows due to the scheme 1. Put mark and skip the next 4 pattern repeats for right front, fasten the rest 1 ½ pattern repeat on 6 arrows from arrow B of left half of back. Marks state for side lines. Then, repeat the 14^th-15^th rnds x 12 times = 39 rows from the set-up row, make increases, matching with the pattern design. After that, make 40^th-60^th rows due to the pattern on all sts and finish your work. Fasten neck-hole with 1 row of single crochets and 1 row of “shrimp stitch”.
