Instructions
Back and Front
Make the back and front as one-piece cloth. Start with 97 (109) 121 chain stitches with blue yarn and circle them in a ring with 1 slip stitch. Then, work with circle rows according to the scheme. Make the 4th and 5th rows with white yarn, and subsequently switch back to blue yarn. In 19 (22) 25 cm from the set-up row, split stitches in the middle for the front and back and complete both details separately.
Back
Work on the stitches of the back according to the scheme in straight and reversed directions. Leave 1 pattern repeat open from both sides for armholes in the 1st row = 3 cm. In 7 (9) 11 cm from the beginning of the armholes, leave 6 (7) 8 cm open from the inward side. At 9.5 (11.5) 13.5 cm height of the armhole, finish the detail.
Front
Work on and finish this detail in the same manner as the back, but create a deeper neckhole. At 3.5 (5.5) 7.5 cm height of the armhole, divide your work in the middle and finish both sides separately. At 7 (9) 11 cm height of the armhole, leave the central 12 (14) 16 cm open for the neckhole. Complete the detail at the height of the back.
Sleeves
Make 33 (39) 45 chain stitches + 3 chain stitches increase in place of the 1st double crochet, then work with rows in straight and reversed order according to the scheme. Create the 4th and 5th rows with white yarn, and then change to blue yarn again. In 11.5 (13.5) 15.5 cm from the set-up row, complete your work.
Assembly
Make shoulder seams. Fasten the neckhole and edges of the cut with 1 row of single crochets and create 1 hanging loop on the right edge. Finally, assemble side seams and sleeve seams, then sew the button.
