​Crochet Olive Cardigan

You’ll need:

700 (800)g of olive yarn (50% cotton, 50% polyacryl; 60m/50g);

Crochet hook 7.

Size: S (L).

Used Patterns

Main pattern: the quantity of sts is multiple 10 + 1. Work due to the scheme. Start with sts before pattern repeat, pattern repeat, finish with sts after pattern repeat. Make 1^st-7^th rows x once, then, repeat 2^nd-7^th rows. Initial and final sts of pattern are stated as ½ pattern repeat.

Stitches control: 11,5 sts x 6,5 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

Instructions

Back

Make 61 (71) chain sts + 1 chain st increase and work with the main pattern = 5 (6) pattern repeats + ½ pattern from both sides. In 72,5 cm = 47 rows (77 cm = 50 rows) from the set-up row, finish your work.

Right Front

Make 41 (46) chain sts + 1 chain st increase and work with the main pattern = 3 pattern repeats + ½ pattern repeats from both sides (for L size, start with sts before pattern repeat, pattern repeat, finish with the 1^st row after = ½ pattern repeats + 4 pattern repeats). In 72,5 cm = 47 rows (77 cm = 50 rows) from the set-up row, finish your work.

Left Front

Make in symmetry to the right front.

Sleeves

Make shoulder seams on 17 (20) cm from both sides. Fasten upper areas with 3 (4) pattern repeats + ½ pattern repeat from both sides of shoulder chamfer for 18 (22) cm. At the same time, decrease ½ pattern repeat during the following 18 rows for sleeve chamfers = 3 (4) pattern repeats. At 40 cm height of sleeve = 26 rows, finish your work.

Assembly

Fasten the edges of front and back neck-hole with 1 row of single crochets. Make side and sleeve seams.
