Crochet Top with Roses
You’ll need:
400 (500)g of white Meloa yarn (59% cotton, 41% polyacryl; 105m/50g);
Crochet hook 4.
Size: S (M).
Used Patterns
Rose: make 6 chain sts and circle them in the ring, then, work due to the scheme 1 from 1st to 3rd rows.
Main pattern: the quantity of sts is multiple 16 + 9. Work due to the scheme 2. Start with sts before pattern repeat, pattern repeat, finish with sts after pattern repeat. Make 1st-5th rows x once, then, repeat 2nd-5th rows.
Fringe with roses: make 52 (60) roses, connect them with one another 4 x 13 (15) roses in the ring, then sew rings with replacement.
Stitches control: 22 sts x 10 rows = 10 x 10 cm;
1 rose = 6 cm.
Instruction
Lower Part of Back
Make 105 (121) chain sts + 3 chain sts increase and work with the main pattern. For side chamfers, decrease 5 (6) x 1 st from both sides in every 4th row. Leave the rest 95 (109) sts in 23 cm = 23 rows (27 cm = 27 rows) from the set-up row.
Lower Part of Front
Make in the same way, as lower part of back.
Upper Part of Back
Make 95 (109) chain sts + 3 chain sts increase and work with double crochets, start every row with 3 chain sts increase instead of the 1st double crochet and finish with 1 double crochet in the upper chain st increase of the previous row. In 2 cm = 2 rows from the set-up row, leave 1 x 6 sts from both sides for arm-holes and 1 x 2 sts, 2 x 1 st in every row = 75 (89) sts. In 17 cm = 17 rows (19 cm = 19 rows) from the set-up row, bind off the central 35 sts for neck-hole and finish each part separately, leaving 1 x 3 sts and 1 x 2 sts in every row from both sides of neck-hole. In 3 cm = 3 rows from the beginning of neck-hole, finish your work on the rest 15 (22) sts of shoulder.
Upper Part of Front
Make in the same way, as upper part of back, but with deeper neck-hole. For this, in 2 cm = 2 rows (4 cm = 4 rows) from the set-up row, leave the central 25 sts and leave 1 x 3 sts, 2 x 2 sts and 3 x 1 st in every row for smooth rounding.
Assembly
Make side seams of lower and upper parts. Sew fringe with roses between upper and lower parts. Fasten neck-hole and arm-holes with 1 row of single crochets and 1 row of “crab stitch”.
