Used Patterns

Stockinette stitch, circle rows: knit.

Cross treble crochets: the quantity of sts is multiple 9 + 4 + 1 chain st increase for the beginning of the 1^st row. Work due to the scheme with straight and reversed rows. Make the 1^st group of 3 treble crochets of the first row in the 10^th chain st from the crochet hook. Then, make 1 chain st and group of 3 treble crochets before the first 3 treble crochets in the last skipped chain st. Make 1 chain st, 1 single crochet and 1 chain s tint he 4^th chain st in the end, as it’s stated on the scheme. Make the next 6 cross treble crochets in the same way, as the first, but in the next 4^th and 5^th chain sts. Start row with sts before the 1^st arrow, pattern repeat between arrows, finish with sts after the 2^nd arrow. Group of black treble crochets is always made the first, then, make groups with grey yarn. Make groups in the 1^st row in base chain sts, from the 2^nd row – around chain st of the previous row. Make 1^st-3^rd rows x once, then, repeat 2^nd-3^rd rows.

Stitches control: stockinette stitch: 17,5 sts x 21 rows = 10 x 10 cm;

Pattern of cross treble crochets: 2 pattern repeats x 12 rows = 13,5 x 20,5 cm.

Instructions

Back

At first, make upper part with pattern of cross treble crochets from down to up. For this, make 54 chain sts + 4 chain sts increase + 1 chain st, as stated, with crochet hook 7. After that, work with cross treble crochets pattern = 6 pattern repeat. In 19 cm = 11 rows from the beginning, increase ½ pattern repeat from both sides, for this, make 6 treble crochets instead of 3 around chain sts in the beginning and ened of the 12^th row. Then, work with pattern = 7 pattern repeat. In 13 cm = 7 rows from increases, mark the beginning of arm-holes from both sides. At 20 cm = 12 rows height of arm-holes, finish your work.

Front

Make in the same way, as back.

Assembly

Make all seams, side seams to marks, shoulder seams – 12 cm long. Fasten the edges of front and back with 1 row of single crochets, making 80 single crochets for each part = 160 sts. Cast on 1 st from every single crochet and make basque with circle rows of stockinette stitch. At 9,5 cm = 20 rows height of basque, make 1 more circle row of purls. Bind off all sts loosely.
