You’ll Need:

250 (250) 300g of orange-pink-blue sectional coloring yarn;

Crochet hook 4.

Size:

S (M) L.

Used Patterns

Main pattern: the quantity of stitches is a multiple of 7 + 6. Work according to the scheme. Start with stitches before the pattern repeat, finish with stitches after the pattern repeat.

Decorative fringe: make 6 or 12 chain stitches and create 1 circular row of double crochets in the last chain stitch. For this, make 3 chain stitches for increase and 12 double crochets in the last chain stitch of the set-up row. Close the row with 1 slip stitch in the last chain stitch increase.

Straps (make 6): *make 12 chain stitches, 1 disk (= 6 double crochets back in the 9^th chain stitch of the set-up row, 1 slip stitch in the 6^th chain stitch increase, 6 double crochets in the same base stitch, 1 slip stitch in the 12^th chain stitch of the previous row)*; repeat from * to * 4 times.

Stitches Control:

20 stitches x 7.5 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

Instructions

Back

Make 90 (97) 104 chain stitches + 3 chain stitches increase and work with the main pattern. In 29 cm = 22 rows (32 cm = 24 rows) 34.5 cm = 26 rows from the set-up row, finish your work.

Front

Start your work the same way as for the back, but in 29 cm = 22 rows (32 cm = 24 rows) 34.5 cm = 26 rows from the set-up row, skip 1 pattern repeat from both sides and 2 pattern repeats in the next 7 rows. At the same time, in 33.5 cm = 25 rows (34.5 cm = 26 rows) 36 cm = 27 rows, skip 1 cm in the center of the work for a V-shaped neck-hole and finish both sides separately. For the neck-hole chamfer, bind off 3 x 1.5 (2) 2.5 cm. Finish your work on the remaining stitches in 38.5 cm = 29 rows (41.5 cm = 31 rows) 44 cm = 33 rows from the set-up row.

Assembly

Make side seams. Fasten lower edges with decorative fringe.
