Crochet Pattern for a Turquoise Cotton Garment

You’ll Need:

400g of turquoise 100% cotton yarn (150m/50g);

Crochet hook 2.

Size:

M.

Instructions

Start your work with the across relief part and follow scheme 1 to the needed length, which is the same as the hips circumference. Make side seam. Then, make the needed quantity of stitches along the upper edge of the across relief part and continue work around according to scheme 2 for 10 cm: * 2 double crochets in the 1st stitch, 2 chain stitches, 2 double crochets in the 1st stitch*; repeat from * to *.

Then, continue work and begin making the front according to scheme 3. Crochet from top to bottom, sew them to create a wrap.

Back

Place markers along the upper edge of the thick part and mark the center of the back with contrast yarn as well as the proposed lines of side seams.

Then, continue work according to scheme 4, placing the pattern so that the central element of the scheme, “pineapple,” is in the center of the back and side parts.

Sew the 1st row of the back to the 1st row of the front at the end of the 1st row of the back with the help of a slip stitch, then turn for the 2nd row of the back.

Join the 2nd row of the back to the 2nd row of the front at the end of the 2nd row with the help of a slip stitch and turn. Continue this way until you reach the needed width of the front and complete the back until you reach the arm-hole.

Make decreases for the arm-hole, working with shortened rows to reach the needed depth of the arm-hole. Then, work according to scheme 4 straight for 19 cm at the height of the back.

Divide your work in half and finish each side separately for the back neck-hole. Make a cut for the back neck-hole using shortened rows.

Assembly

Make shoulder seams, fasten the lower edge of work, arm-holes, back neck-hole, and front with 1-2 rows according to scheme 5. Repeat rows 1-3 of this scheme.
