Instructions

Jacket

Work as one-piece cloth. For this, make 64 (68) 68 chain stitches + 3 chain stitches increase instead of the 1^st double crochet. Make the 1^st row in the following way: 1 double crochet in the 4^th chain stitch, *skip 1 chain stitch, 1 double crochet in the next 3 chain stitches*; repeat from * to *, skip 1 chain stitch, 1 double crochet in the last chain stitch = 49 (52) 52 double crochets.

Then, draw 4 marking threads of yarn in the following row:

Draw marking yarn A between the 11^th and 12^th (12^th and 13^th) 12^th and 13^th double crochets;

Draw marking yarn B between the 17^th and 18^th (18^th and 19^th) 18^th and 19^th double crochets;

Draw marking yarn C between the 32^nd and 33^rd (34^th and 35^th) 34^th and 35^th double crochets;

Draw marking yarn D between the 38^th and 39^th (40^th and 41^st) 40^th and 41^st double crochets.

For the yoke, continue work with double crochets, increasing 4 (5) 7 x 4 stitches and 6 (6) 5 x 2 stitches in every row near marking yarn = 161 (180) 204 stitches. At the same time, in 4 (4) 5 cm from the beginning, make the 1^st button-hole from the right side; make the remaining 4 button-holes above the 1^st hole with an interval of 5 (5.5) 6 cm. In 11 (12) 13 rows = 9 (10) 11 cm from the setup row, form sleeves on 34 (38) 44 stitches between marking threads A, B, C, D. For this, continue work with double crochets, decreasing 1 x 1 stitch in every 4^th row from both sides. Subsequently, decrease 2 x 1 stitch in every 3^rd row (2 x 1 stitch in every 4^th, then 3 x 1 stitch in every 2^nd row and 2 x 1 stitch in every 3^rd row.

In 12 (14) 15 cm from the beginning of sleeves, continue work with the fans pattern, starting at arrow A, skipping 2-3 stitches in the 1^st row to get 11 arches of chain stitches. After 4 rows from the pattern change, sleeves will be completed. Make sleeve seams.

Increase 7 (8) 8 stitches on the central 85 (96) 108 stitches and work on 25 (28) 31 stitches of the right half of front, 43 (48) 54 stitches of back, and 25 (28) 31 stitches of the left half of front = 100 (112) 124 stitches. Then, work with the fans pattern, where the outer 4 stitches form edges from arrow B. In 21 (23) 24 cm from the beginning of the setup row, make treble crochets instead of double crochets. Finish your work in 26 (28) 31 cm from the setup row.

Assembly

Make fringe along edges and neck-hole. Sew buttons.

Hat

Make 4 chain stitches and circle them in the ring with 1 slip stitch.

1^st round: 6 single crochets in the ring;

2^nd-4^th rounds: 1 single crochet in every single crochet;

5^th-6^th rounds: 2 single crochets in every single crochet = 24 stitches;

7^th round: *1 single crochet, 2 single crochets in the next stitch*; repeat from * to * = 36 stitches;

8^th round: *2 single crochets, 2 single crochets in the next stitch*; repeat from * to * = 48 stitches;

9^th round: *3 single crochets, 2 single crochets in the next stitch*; repeat from * to * = 60 stitches.

After that, work with the fans pattern, starting from arrow C to get 22 (24) 26 arches of chain stitches. In 10 (11) 12 cm from the setup toe, make treble crochets instead of double crochets. Finish your work in 14 (15) 16 cm from the setup row.
