Instructions

Central Part

Make 16 chain sts + 3 chain sts increase with grey yarn and work with double crochets. In 81 cm = 77 rows (90 cm = 85 rows) 98 cm = 93 rows from the set-up row, finish your work.

Back and Front

Fasten the right long end of central part with 1 row of single crochets with grey yarn, make 28 (31) 34 single crochets on each half of front and 57 (63) 69 single crochets on back = 113 (125) 137 single crochets. Then, work with relief pattern with pink yarn. In 12 cm = 11 rows from the central part, work with double crochets = 113 (125) 137 double crochets. In 13 cm = 12 rows from the central part, divide your work in the following way: 28 (31) 34 double crochets for left front, 57 (63) 69 double crochets for back and 28 (31) 34 double crochets for right front. At first, make back. For sleeves, make 10 chain sts +3 chain sts increase and work on all 77 (83) 89 double crochets. In 22 cm = 21 rows (24 cm = 23 rows) 26,5 cm = 25 rows from the beginning of back, finish your work. Then, make right front. For sleeve, make 10 chain sts + 3 chain sts increase in the end of row, then, make 35 (38) 41 double crochets and make the last 2 double crochets together for neck-hole chamfers = 37 (40) 43 double crochets. For neck-hole chamfer, decrease 17 (18) 19 x 1 double crochet = 20 (22) 24 double crochets. Finish your work at the height of back. Make left front in symmetry to the right.
