Stitches Control
21 sts x 29 rows = 10 x 10 cm.
Instructions
Cast on 93 sts with red yarn and work with 1 x 1 rib for 2 cm. Then, change to stockinette stitch.
In 22 cm, increase 3 x 1 st from both sides, 2 x 2 sts, and 5 x 1 st to reach 117 sts. In 16 cm, bind off the central 29 sts for neck-hole and finish both sides separately. Bind off 1 x 5 sts and bind off the rest 39 sts of the shoulder. Make the second side in symmetry.Back Upper Part
Cast on 93 sts and make 8 cm with 1 x 1 rib using white yarn. Then, bind off all sts, decreasing 13 sts to total 80 sts. After that, work with a crochet hook as per the scheme. In 25 cm, increase 5 pattern repeats from both sides. In 17 cm, make only 17 cm in the beginning of the row and 17 cm in the end of the row, skipping the central 17 cm for neck-hole.
Left Front
Cast on 46 sts with white yarn and make 7 cm of 2 x 1 rib. Then, change to red yarn and work with stockinette stitch. In 25 cm, increase 3 x 1 st from the right side, 2 x 2 sts, and 1 x 5 sts. At the same time, decrease 19 x 1 st in every RS row for neck-hole from the left side. In 18 cm, bind off the rest 39 sts.
