17.5 sts x 8 rows = 10 x 10 cm.Instructions:
Back:
Make 51 (59) 67 chain sts + 1 chain st increase instead of the 1st single crochet. Make 1 row of single crochets, then work with the relief pattern. In 17 (20) 23 cm from the set-up toe, leave 3 sts from both sides for arm-holes and bind off 1 x 2 sts and 2 x 1 st in every row. Finish your work in 30 (35) 40 cm from the set-up row.
Front:
Make in the same way as the back, but with a V-shaped neck-hole. For this, in 20 (23) 26 cm from the set-up row, bind off the central st and finish both sides separately. Bind off 6 x 2 sts in every row from inwards and 1 (3) 5 x 1 st. Finish your work at the height of the back.
Assembly:
Make shoulder and side seams. Fasten the neck-hole and arm-holes with 1 circular row of single crochets and “shrimp stitch.”
