Instructions

Back

Make 101 (111) 121 chain sts + 3 chain sts increase and work with pattern for fringe. In 15 cm = 11 rows from the set-up row, continue work with the main pattern, make 100 (110) 120 single crochets in the 1^st row = 19 (21) 23 pattern repeats + sts before and after the last pattern repeats. In 28 (26) 23 cm from the beginning of the main pattern, leave 4 cm from both side for arm-holes. Work on the rest sts to 45 cm from the beginning of the main pattern and finish your work.

Front

Make in the same way, as back, but with deeper neck-hole. For this, in 37 cm from the beginning of the main pattern, leave the central 3 pattern repeat in symmetry and finish both sides separately. For smooth rounding, leave 1 x 2 cm, 2 x 1 cm and 3 x 0,5 cm in every row from inwards. Finish your work on the rest sts of shoulder at the same height, as back.

Sleeves

Make 71 chain sts + 1 chain st increase and work due to the patterns order. In 32 cm from the set-up row, increase 2 (4) 7 cm from both sides during the next 24 cm for sleeve chamfers. At first, make increases as double crochets, then, include the increased sts in the pattern. In 60 cm from the set-up row, finish your work.

Assembly

Make shoulder seams. Sew up the sleeves, make side and sleeve seams. Fasten the neck-hole with 1 row of single crochets and 1 row of “shrimp stitch”.
