Crochet hook 6.

Used Patterns

Main pattern: at first, make a chain.

1st Row:

For the 1^st star, make 1 slip stitch from the 2^nd-6^th stitches from the crochet hook and draw to 1.5 cm up. Then, make all 6 stitches on the crochet hook together with 1 new yarn over and circle 1 chain stitch*.

For the next star stitch, the 1^st slip stitch is already on the crochet hook, make the 2^nd slip stitch from across yarn, make the 3^rd slip stitch from back half of the 6^th slip stitch of the previous slip stitch, make the 4^th slip stitch from the stitch from which the 6^th stitch was formed and make the next 2 stitches of the set-up row. Then, make all 6 stitches on the crochet hook together with 1 new yarn over, 1 chain stitch*;

2nd Row:

Single crochets, insert the crochet hook in every chain of the previous row;

3rd Row:

3 chain stitches from the 2^nd and 1^st stitches of these 3 chain stitches and draw 1 slip stitch from the next 3 single crochets, then make these 6 slip stitches together with 1 new yarn over and circle with 1 chain stitch*. For the next star stitch, make the 2^nd slip stitch in the same way as in the 1^st row, the 3^rd slip stitch from back half of the 6^th slip stitch of the previous star stitch, 4^th slip stitch from the stitch from which the 6^th slip stitch was formed.*

Stitches Control:

7 star stitches or 14 single crochets x 8.5 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

Instructions

Back with ½ Sleeve

Make 68 (76) chain stitches and work with the main pattern = 32 (36) star stitches in a row. Decrease 1 star stitch in the 11^th and 19^th rows from both sides = 28 (32) star stitches. In 24 (25) cm = 20 (21) rows from the set-up row, make marks from both sides. Make 3 single crochets more from both sides in every 5^th row from marks for chamfers and 1 star stitch more in the next row. Repeat these increases in the next 6^th row x once = 32 (36) star stitches. In 18 (19) cm = 16 (17) rows from mark, make 36 chain stitches for sleeves from both sides and make 18 star stitches = totally 68 (72) star stitches. In 22 cm = 20 rows from the beginning of sleeves, finish the detail.

Front with ½ Sleeve

Make in the same way as the back.
