Used Patterns

Single Crochets

Start every row with 1 chain stitch, which doesn’t replace the single crochet. Make the last stitch of every row in the 1^st stitch of the previous row.

Relief Pattern

The quantity of stitches is a multiple of 10 + 11 + 4 chain stitches increase instead of the 1^st treble crochet. Work according to the scheme. Start with stitches before the pattern repeat, pattern repeat between arrows x 3 times, and finish with stitches after the pattern repeat.

Striping Order

Stripes order: 2 neon-green rows, 2 apple-green rows, 2 khaki rows, finish with 3 emerald rows = 9 rows.

Stitches Control

Relief pattern: 1 pattern repeat x 4 rows = 12 x 10 cm;

Single crochets: 10.5 stitches x 9 rows = 10 x 8 cm.

Instructions

Make the central part with the relief pattern. For this, make 41 chain stitches + 4 chain stitches increase instead of the 1^st treble crochet + 3 chain stitches before the 1^st single crochets using 4 threads of yarn (1 thread of each color). Make the relief pattern, with the 1^st single crochet of the 1^st row in the 10^th chain stitch from the crochet hook and pattern repeat x 3 times between arrows.

In 220 cm = 89 rows from the beginning, finish your work. For the placket, make 2 x 50 chain stitches + 1 chain stitch increase along the edge using neon-green yarn in 4 threads. Then, make 8 cm = 9 rows of single crochets according to the stripes order, making the 1^st single crochet in the 2^nd chain stitch from the crochet hook. Finish your work. Sew the last emerald row of edging plackets to the setup row or the last row of the central part.
