Used Patterns

Main Pattern

: crochet hook 5: double crochets, start every row with 3 chain sts increase instead of the 1^st double crochet and finish with 1 double crochet in the 3^rd chain st increase of the previous row.

Shells Pattern

: crochet hook 4.5: the quantity of sts is multiple of 8 + 1. Work due to the scheme. Start every row with sts before pattern repeat, pattern repeat, finish with sts after pattern repeat. Make 1^st to 15^th rows once, then repeat 3^rd to 15^th rows; RS rows become WS rows and vice versa.

Stitches Control

• Main pattern: 14 sts x 7 rows = 10 x 10 cm;
• Shells pattern: 21 sts x 9.5 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

Instructions

Back

For the upper part, make 60 (66) 72 chain sts + 3 chain sts increase and work with the main pattern. In 29 (31) 33 cm from the set-up row, leave 10 (11) 12 sts from both sides for shoulder chamfers and 1 x 10 (11) 12 sts in the next row. The rest 20 (22) 24 sts form the neck-hole. Finish your work in 3 cm from the beginning of shoulder chamfers. For the lower part, join dark-grey yarn to the set-up row and fasten it with 97 (105) 113 single crochets. Then, work with the shells pattern. Finish your work at 35 cm height = 33 rows of shells pattern.

Front

For the left upper part, make 36 (39) 42 chain sts + 3 chain sts increase with grey yarn and work with the main pattern. For neck-hole chamfer, decrease 10 (11) 12 x 1 st in every row from the left side and 6 x 1 st in every 2^nd row. Make shoulder chamfer from the right side in the same way as for the back. Finish your work at the height of back. Make the upper right front in symmetry. Then, put the right upper part in the center of front with an overlap for 9 cm upon the left part and work with dark-grey yarn as the lower part for back.

Sleeves

Make shoulder seams. Make 19 (21) 23 cm from both sides of shoulder seams with dark-grey yarn and make 81 (89) 97 single crochets and work with the shells pattern. For sleeve chamfers, decrease 1 pattern repeat from both sides during the next 30 cm. Finish your work at a sleeve length of 48.5 cm = 46 rows.
