Instructions
Back
Make 81 chain sts + 2 chain sts increase and work due to the patterns order. In 38 cm from the set-up row, decrease 1 st from both sides, then, 7 x 1 st in the next row = 65 sts. If there are not enough sts for full pattern repeat, start and finish the row with the needed quantity of double crochets or single crochets. In 70 cm from the set-up row, decrease 1 x 3 sts from both sides for arm-holes, then, bind off 1 x 2 sts and 3 x 1 st in every following row = 49 sts. For neck-hole, skip the central 21 sts in 82 cm from the set-up row and finish both sides separately. Decrease 2 x 1 st in every row from both sides for neck-hole. In 88 cm from the set-up row, finish your work = 12 sts of shoulder.
Front
Make in the same way, as back, but with deeper neck-hole. For this, bind off the central 17 sts in 74 cm from the set-up row and finish both sides separately. Decrease 4 x 1 st in every 2nd row for neck-hole. In 88 cm from the set-up row, finish your work = 12 sts of shoulder.
Assembly
Make shoulder and side seams, for this, connect the details from WS with the help of slip st. Fasten neck-hole with 1 circle row of single crochets, then, fasten the edges of arm-hole with 2 circle rows of single crochets; start every circle row with 1 chain st and finish with 1 slip st in chain st increase.
