Assembly:

Make shoulder seams. Fasten neck-hole with 1 circle row of single crochets and 1 circle row of “crab stitch” with dark-lilac yarn. Sew up the sleeves in such a way that the middle of the sleeve is in place of the shoulder seam. Make side and sleeve seams. Fasten the lower edge of work and edges of sleeves with 1 circle row of single crochets and 1 circle row of “crab stitch” with dark-lilac yarn.
