Used Patterns

Main Pattern

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

Fancy Pattern with Circle Rows

Start every circle row with 2 chain sts increase and finish with 1 slip st in the last chain st increase.

• 1^st rnd: double crochets;
• 2^nd rnd: * 1 fpdc, 1 bpdc*; repeat from * to *

Repeat 1^st-2^nd rows once, then, repeat 2^nd row.

Stitches Control

• Main pattern: 18 sts x 8 rows = 10 x 10 cm;
• Fancy pattern: 19 sts x 12 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

Instructions

Back and Front

Make 129 chain sts + 3 chain sts increase for the front, then work with the main pattern. In 50 cm = 40 rows from the set-up row, divide your work in the middle for the neck-hole and finish both sides separately. In 67.5 cm = 54 rows from the set-up row, the shoulder line will be reached. From that place, work in reflection, making back neck-hole in the same way as the front neck-hole. In 135 cm = 108 rows from the set-up row, finish your work.

Sleeves

For each sleeve, make 52 chain sts + 2 chain sts increase and circle them in the ring with slip st. Then, work with the fancy pattern in circle rows. In 27 cm = 32 circle rows from the set-up row, finish your work.

Assembly

Make side seams, leaving the upper parts of 14 cm long open, and sew up sleeves in arm-holes.
