Complete Crochet Instructions for a Light-Orange Lampone Yarn Garment

You’ll Need:

500 (550) 600g of light-orange Lampone yarn (70% cotton, 30% polyamide; 135m/50g);

Crochet hooks 3.5 and 4.

Size:

S-M.

Used Patterns:

Main pattern: the quantity of stitches is a multiple of 8 + 1. Work according to the scheme. Start with stitches before the pattern repeat, pattern repeat, and finish with stitches after the pattern repeat.

Stitches Control:

• Crochet hook 4: 18.5 stitches = 10 cm;
• Crochet hook 3.5: 21 stitches x 9 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

Instructions:

Back:

Make 97 (105) 113 chain stitches + 3 chain stitches increase with crochet hook 4 and work with the main pattern = 12 (13) 14 pattern repeats + 2 initial stitches. In 34 (36) 38 cm, form the set-up row and change to crochet hook 3.5. In 46 (48) 50 cm, form the set-up edges, leave ½ pattern repeats for the arm-hole and 3 x ½ pattern repeats in every row = 8 (9) 10 pattern repeats + 2 initial stitches. In 22 (23) 24 cm from the beginning of the arm-hole, finish your work.

Front:

Make in the same way as the back, but with a neck-hole. For this, in 8 (9) 10 cm from the beginning of the arm-holes, divide your work in the middle and finish both sides separately at the height of the back.

Assembly:

Make shoulder seams to 4 (6) 8 cm from both sides to create a picture. Make side seams. For the hood, at 40 cm height, fold the hood in half and connect sides from the inside. Fasten neck-hole and hood edges with 2 rows of single crochets and 1 row of “crab stitch,” starting and finishing at the lower edge of the neck-hole. Sew plackets across.
