Used Patterns

Main pattern: the quantity of sts is multiple 8 + 1. Work due to the scheme. Start with sts before pattern repeat, pattern repeat, finish with sts after pattern repeat. Make 1^st-4^th rows x once, then, repeat 3^rd-4^th row.

Stitches control: crochet hook 4: 18,5 sts = 10 cm;

Crochet hook 3,5: 21 sts x 9 rows = 10 x 10 cm,

Instructions

Back

Make 97 (105) 113 chain sts + 3 chain sts increase with crochet hook 4 and work with the main pattern = 12 (13) 14 pattern repeats + 2 initial sts. In 34 (36) 38 cm from the set-up row, change to crochet hook 3,5. In 46 (48) 50 cm from the set-up row, leave ½ pattern repeats from both sides and 3 x ½ pattern repeats in every row = 8 (9) 10 pattern repeats + 2 initial sts. In 22 (23) 24 cm from the beginning of arm-holes, finish your work.

Front

Make in the same way, as back, but with neck-hole. For this, divide your work in the middle in 8 (9) 10 cm from the beginning of arm-holes and finish both sides separately at the height of back.

Assembly

Make shoulder seams on 4 (6) 8 cm from both sides. Make side seams. For hood, work with the main pattern with crochet hook 4. Fasten the edges of arm-holes with 2 rows of single crochets and 1 row of “crab stitch”. Fasten neck-hole and edge of hood with 2 rows of single crochets and 1 row of “crab stitch”.
