Net Pattern

The quantity of sts is multiple of 4 + 1 + 1 chain st increase. Work according to the scheme. Start with sts before pattern repeat, pattern repeat, finish with sts after pattern repeat. Make 1^st-3^rd rows x once, then, repeat 2^nd-3^rd rows.

Stitches Control

• Main pattern: 12 sts x 7 rows = 10 x 10 cm;
• Net pattern: 12 sts x 8 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

Instructions

Back

Make 61 (61) 65 chain sts + 3 chain sts increase and work with the main pattern. In 6 (8) 8 cm from the set-up row, make 2 rows with net pattern, then, work with the main pattern. In 25 (27) 29 cm from the set-up row, the middle of back is reached, make the second half in symmetry.

Front

For central part, make 29 chain sts + 1 chain st increase and work with net pattern. In 46 cm from the set-up row, finish your work. Then, work along the long sides of the central part with the main pattern, make a chain of 5 (5) 8 cm long from both sides in the upper part. In 4.5 (4.5) 6.5 cm from the central part, finish your work.

Sleeves

Make shoulder seams; work with the main pattern on the central 42 (44) 46 cm (= 21 (22) 23 cm from both sides of shoulder seams). In 6 cm from the beginning of the sleeve, leave 7 x 1 st in every row from both sides for sleeve chamfers. In 20 cm from the set-up row, work with net pattern, skip 2 sts instead of 3 sts in every pattern repeat of the 1^st row. In 31 cm from the beginning of the sleeve, finish your work.

Assembly

Make side and sleeve seams. Fasten the bottom edge with 3 rows of net pattern, finish every circle row with 1 slip st in chain st increase.
