Instructions

Left Front

Make 77 (81) 85 chain stitches with beige yarn and work according to the scheme. Make the first half of half crochets group in the 3^rd chain stitch from the crochet hook according to the scheme, repeat the pattern, and finish the row with 1 half crochet in the last chain stitch. In 20 cm = 20 rows from the set-up row, divide stitches as follows: start the row with beige yarn with a selvage stitch, repeat the pattern x 12 (13) 14 times, finish the row with pearl pattern = 25 (26) 27 groups of half crochets and selvage stitch. Divide stitches to create 69 (73) 77 rows, finishing with the last row as a right side (RS) row. Cut pearl yarn and leave stitches.

Right Front

Make in symmetry to the left front. For the lower edge, make 20 rows with beige yarn, then divide colors. Start the 21^st row with pearl yarn, 1 selvage stitch, 25 (26) 27 groups of half crochets, then finish the row with beige yarn = 12 (13) 14 groups of half crochets and selvage stitch. Divide colors to create 69 (73) 77 rows, making the last row as a RS row. Do not cut the yarn.

Back

Start with a wrong side (WS) row and work the front as a one-piece cloth. For this, make the row according to the pattern on the right front, make 7 chain stitches (= neck hole), then join the left front by continuing to work the row according to the pattern. Then, divide stitches as follows: with beige yarn, 1 selvage stitch, 12 (13) 14 groups of half crochets (make 1 group of half crochets in the 1^st, 3^rd, 5^th, and 7^th chain stitches on the additional central chain stitches), then make 12 (13) 14 groups of half crochets and 1 selvage stitch with beige yarn. In 49 rows from the beginning of the back, work with beige yarn = lower edge. In 70 rows from the beginning of the back, finish your work.

Assembly

Start with the lower edge of the right front with beige yarn and work with single crochets. Make 1 single crochet in every row from both sides, make 1 single crochet between groups of half crochets, make 1 single crochet, 1 chain stitch, 1 single crochet in the same base stitch in the corners, and make single crochets between groups of half crochets. Circle the row with 1 slip stitch. Then, make 1 row of single crochets along the front.
