​Long Relief Tunic

You’ll need:

500 (550)g of white Lana Grossa Secondo yarn (55% cotton, 25% polyamide, 20% silk; 125m/50g);

Crochet hooks 2,5 and 3.

Size: S (M).

Used Patterns

Relief pattern: work due to the scheme. Make the first 2 double crochets of the 1^st row in the 5^th chain st from the crochet hook. Start every row with 3 chain sts increase instead of 1 double crochet. Start with sts before the 1^st arrow, pattern repeat, finish with sts after the 2^nd arrows. Make 2 double crochets in chain st of previous row arch in the 3^rd and 5^th rows. Make 1^st-5^th rows x once, then, repeat 2^nd-5^th rows.

Single crochets: start every row with 1 chain st, make 1 single crochet in 1 single crochet of the previous row.

Stitches control: relief pattern: 3 pattern repeats x 8 rows = 9,5 cm x 10 cm;

21,5 sts x 25 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

Instructions

Back

Start with lower detail. For this, make 121 (130) chain sts + 3 chain sts increase. Work with relief pattern = 13 (14) pattern repeat. In 44 cm = 35 rows from the set-up row, finish detail with the 3^rd row of the scheme. For yoke, make 86 (96) chain sts + 1 chain st increase. Work with single crochets = 86 (96) single crochets. Increase 1 st from both sides in the 5^th row from the set-up row, then, 4 x 1 st in every 4^th row = 96 (106) sts. In 11 cm = 28 rows from the set-up row, decrease 1 st from both sides for raglan chamfers, then, 16 x 1 st in every 2^nd row and 14 (19) z 1 st in every row. In 19 (21) cm = 48 (53) rows from the beginning of raglan, finish your work. The rest 34 single crochets form neck-hole.

Front

Make lower detail in the same way, as for back. Make yoke of 2 details. At first, make 43 (48) chain sts + 1 chain st increase for left half and work with single crochets = 43 (48) single crochets. Make side and raglan chamfers from the right side at the height of back. Decrease 1 st from the left side in the 4^th row from the set-up row, then, 10 x 1 st in every 4^th row and 4 x 1^st in every 6^th row = 2 single crochets. Finish your work at the height of back. Make right half of yoke in symmetry.

Sleeves

At first, make lower detail of sleeve. For this, make 76 (85) chain sts + 3 chain sts increase. Work with relief pattern = 8 (9) pattern repeats. In 44 cm = 35 rows from the set-up row, finish the detail with the 3^rd row due to the scheme. Then, make upper detail of single crochets on lower detail. For this, turn with 1 chain st and make 56 (62) single crochets in the last row of relief pattern. Add 1 st in the 3^rd (2^nd) row for chamfers, then, bind off 4 (5) x 1 st in every 2^nd row and 0 (1) x 1 st in every row = 66 (76) sts. In 5 cm = 13 rows from the end of relief pattern, make raglan chamfers from both sides in the same way, as for back. In 19 (21) cm from the beginning of raglan, finish your work.

Assembly

Sew back yoke to the lower detail of back. Mark center on the lower detail of front. Sew left side of yoke to the center. Sew right side in the same way. Make side and sleeve seams. Sew up the sleeves. Fasten the edge of neck-hole with 3 circle rows of single crochets with crochet hook 2,5, make 2 single crochets together in every circle row in the center of front. Finish every circle row with 1 slip st.
