Instructions

Back

Make 12 rose-knots and connect them in a rectangle according to the pattern design (2 x 6 rose-knots). For the upper part, fasten the upper edge of the rectangle according to scheme 1, starting at arrow A. Then, make 1 row of single crochets = 73 sts. Next, work with the relief pattern, increasing 18 sts in the 1^st row = 91 sts. For side chamfers, increase 6 x 1 st in every row from both sides, starting from the relief pattern = 103 sts. In 6 cm = 7 rows from the beginning of the relief pattern, leave 6 sts from both sides for armholes and 3 x 2 sts in every 2^nd row = 79 sts. In 22 cm = 26 rows from the beginning of the relief pattern, leave the central 41 sts and finish both sides separately. For smooth rounding, bind off 1 x 3 sts and 1 x 2 sts in every 2^nd row from the inwards. In 26 cm = 31 rows from the relief pattern, finish your work. For the lower part, fasten the lower edge of the rectangle in the same way as the upper edge with the relief pattern = 91 sts. For widening, increase 8 x 1 st in every 2^nd row from both sides = 107 sts. In 15 cm = 18 rows from the beginning of the relief pattern, make 1 row of single crochets, decrease 1 st = 106 sts. Then, work with the pattern of arches. In 26 cm = 27 rows from the beginning of the pattern of arches, work with festoons pattern on 127 sts. In 9.5 cm = 8 rows, finish your work.

Front

Make in the same way as the back, but with a deeper neck-hole. For this, in 15 cm = 18 rows from the beginning of the relief pattern, leave the central 15 sts and 6 x 3 sts in every 2^nd row.

Assembly

Make shoulder and side seams, and fasten neck-hole and armholes with 2 rows of fringe.
