Instructions

Back

Make 81 (91) 101 chain sts + 1 chain st increase with lilac yarn and work with main pattern due to the stripes order. In 59 cm from the beginning of the main pattern, make decreases on the central 24 (26) 27 cm for neck-hole, matching with pattern design in full dimensions. In 65 cm from the set-up row, finish your work.

Front

Make in the same way, as back, but with deeper neck-hole. For this, in 49 cm from the beginning of the main pattern, make decreases on the central 24 (26) 27 cm for neck-hole, matching with pattern design. Finish your work at the height of back.

Sleeves

Make 51 (51) 61 chain sts + 1 chain st increase for each sleeve with lilac yarn and work with the main pattern due to the stripes order. For sleeve chamfers, increase 12,5 (12,5) 11 cm from both sides. In 30 cm from the set-up row, finish your work.

Assembly

Make shoulder seams. Fasten neck-hole with 1 circle row of single crochets and 1 circle row of “crab stitch” with dark-lilac yarn. Sew up the sleeves in such a way, that the middle of sleeve is in place of shoulder seam. Make side and sleeve seams. Fasten the lower edge of work and edges of sleeves with 1 circle row of single crochets and 1 circle row of “crab stitch” with dark-lilac yarn.
