Start every row with 2 chain sts increase. Starting from the 11^th row, increase 1 st at the end of every 3^rd row. At a height of 36 cm of the set-up row, start making fringe according to scheme 1. Repeat the pattern 4 times. Fasten the bottom of the skirt with single crochets.

Belt

Join the yarn to the set-up row and make 10 rows of single crochets. Then, make 1 row, catching sts through the back loop (for belt fold), and make 9 more rows of single crochets. Sew the last row of the belt to the 1^st row, leaving 6 single crochets open for inserting shirr.

Top

Back/Front

Make 126 chain sts and work according to scheme 1. At a height of 31 cm, leave 1 pattern repeat from both sides for arm-holes and then crochet straight. At 35 cm height from the set-up row, divide sts in half for the neck-hole and finish each side separately according to the pattern design.
