Instructions

Central Part:

Make 16 chain stitches + 3 chain stitches 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 the front and 57 (63) 69 single crochets on the 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 the left front, 57 (63) 69 double crochets for the back and 28 (31) 34 double crochets for the right front. At first, make the back. For sleeves, make 10 chain stitches + 3 chain stitches 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 the back, finish your work. Then, make the right front. For the sleeve, make 10 chain stitches + 3 chain stitches increase in the end of the 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 the neck-hole chamfer, decrease 17 (18) 19 x 1 double crochet = 20 (22) 24 double crochets. Finish your work at the height of the back. Make the left front in symmetry to the right.

Lower Part:

Fasten the left long end of central part with 1 row of single crochets with grey yarn, make 32 (35) 38 single crochets on each half of the front and 67 (73) 79 single crochets on the back = 131 (143) 155 single crochets. Then, work with relief pattern according to the order. In 16.5 cm = 15 rows (20 cm = 18 rows) 23.5 cm = 21 rows from the central part finish your work.
