Instructions

Back

Make 97 (109) 121 chain sts + 3 chain sts increase and work with the main pattern. In 11 (12) 13 cm from the set-up row, leave ½ pattern repeat from both sides for arm-holes and decrease 0,5 pattern repeats during the next 3 rows. In 27 (29) 31 cm from the set-up row, leave the central 2 (0,5 + 1,5) 2 pattern repeats + 1 st for the symmetry and finish both sides separately. For smooth rounding, decrease 0,5 pattern repeat during the next 3 rows. In 31 (33) 35 cm from the set-up row, finish your work.

Front

Make in the same way as back, but with a deeper neck-hole. For this, in 15 (17) 19 cm from the set-up row, leave the central 0,5 + 0,5 (1) 0,5 + 0,5 pattern repeat + 1 st for the symmetry and decrease 1 pattern repeat during the next 5 rows.

Assembly

Make shoulder and side seams. For a fancy roller, make 22 rows with lace pattern along the lower row, make 196 (224) 252 single crochets in the 1^st row. Fasten arm-holes and neck-hole with fringe.
