You’ll need:

250g of emerald green Bella yarn (100% cotton; 180m/50g);

Crochet hook 3.

Stitches control: 20 sts x 24 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

Instructions

Back

Make 86 chain sts + 3 chain sts increase and make 1 row of double crochets. Then, work with the main pattern. At 4 cm height, decrease 1 crochet from both sides for better fitting. Repeat these decreases x twice in every 8^th row = 80 crochets. Then, crochet 15 cm straight. After that, increase 1 crochet from both sides = 82 crochets. Continue crochet straight. At 40 cm height, make decreases for arm-holes from both sides due to the pattern design. At 20 cm height of arm-hole, finish your work.

Front

Make in the same way, as back to 5 cm height of arm-hole. Then, leave the central 12 sts open and then finish each side separately. Make decreases for neck-hole chamfer due to the pattern design. At 20 cm height of arm-hole, finish your work. Make the second half of neck-hole in symmetry.

Assembly

Make shoulder and side seams. Fasten neck-hole and arm-holes with 2 rows of single crochets. For fringe, cut the yarn of 17-18 cm long, you’ll need 3 threads of yarn for each tassel.

Make the first row of fringe along the neck-hole in 1,5-2 cm from edge, then, make 2 more rows of fringe in parallel to the 1^st row with 4 cm interval. Make the last row only on the central 12-13 cm in 4 cm distance from the 3^rd row.
