You’ll Need:

250 (300)g of light-blue Cotonia yarn (100% cotton; 135m/50g);

Crochet hook 3 (4).

Size:

S (M).

Used Patterns

Rose-Knot

Make 6 chain sts and circle them in the ring with 1 slip st in the ring and work due to the scheme with circle rows. Start and finish every row with 1 slip st. Turn to the next row with the help of slip st if needed.

Main Pattern

Work due to the scheme with circle rows. For this, join the yarn at arrow A and start with chain sts increase and sts before pattern repeat, pattern repeat, finish with sts after pattern repeat and 1 slip st. Make 1^st-5^th rows x once, then, repeat 2^nd-5^th rows.

Stitches Control

Main pattern: 1 pattern repeat x 8.5 rows = 11 x 10 cm (1 pattern repeat x 7.75 rows = 12 x 10 cm);

Rose-knot: 11 (12) cm in diameter.

Instructions

Make 10 rose-knots with crochet hook 3 (4) and connect them in the ring. For the side part, join yarn at arrow A, make 21 chain sts, skip 2 rose-knots, and join the yarn between 2^nd and 3^rd rose-knots. For the opposite side, make in the same way. Then, for the lower part, work with main pattern in circle rows, fasten it with 1 pattern repeat of the main pattern = 8 pattern repeats.

In 36.5 (40) cm = 31 rows of the main pattern, finish your work. For shoulder rose-knots, make 2 rose-knots and connect one rose-knot with slip st to the arch of chain sts of upper shoulder rose-knots in the 5^th circle row. Fasten neck-hole with 1 row of single crochets and 1 row of “crab stitch”. Make 4 single crochets in every arch of chain sts of rose-knots.
