50g of black yarn in 2 threads (100% viscose; 500m/100g);

Crochet hook 3 and 4;

29 colorful crystals.

Stitches Control

4 pattern repeats x 4.5 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

Instructions

Back

Make 65 chain sts + 4 chain sts increase and work with the main yarn using crochet hook 4.

Front

Make in the same way as the back. For decorative loops, make 15 knots during work for 5-6 cm long and leave them on the right side. After completing 19 rows from the beginning, do not work on the central 10 pattern repeats, and finish with 3 pattern repeats from both sides, followed by 1 row of the pattern.

Sleeves

Make 60 chain sts + 1 chain st increase and work using black viscose yarn and crochet hook 3. Create the first row as follows: 1 half crochet, 2 single crochets, 54 double crochets, 2 single crochets, and 1 half crochet. To shape the sleeve cap, make 1 half crochet and 2 single crochets at both the beginning and the end of every row. In the second row, complete 50 double crochets, decreasing 4 crochets. Then, decrease the double crochets in the following manner:

• 3rd row – 46 crochets
• 4th row – 40 crochets
• 5th row – 33 crochets
• 6th row – 28 crochets
• 7th row – 23 crochets
• 8th row – 18 crochets

Finish your work.

Assembly

Make shoulder seams by sewing 3 pattern repeats for each shoulder. Sew up the sleeves with crochet hook 3 and black viscose yarn, and fasten the sides, sleeves, and bottom of the top with 1 row of single crochets. For the straps, create 6 chains of 15-16 cm long with the main yarn using crochet hook 4. Make knots and join the colorful crystals.
