After 7 rows from the beginning of work, divide it into the back (11 pattern repeats) and front (6 pattern repeats for each half), leaving 2 pattern repeats for armholes.

Decrease 1 pattern repeat for 2 rows from both sides for the armholes. After 9 rows from the beginning of decreases, do not work on the central 5 pattern repeats for the neck-hole and finish each side separately, making 1 row on the rest 2 pattern repeats from both sides.
Left Front
For the armhole from the right side, decrease 1 pattern repeat for 2 rows. In 7 rows from the beginning of decreases for the armhole, do not work on 3 pattern repeats from the left side, complete 3 rows on the remaining 2 pattern repeats, and finish the left front.
Right Front
Work in symmetry to the left front.
Assembly
Join the shoulder seams. For the collar, make 15 pattern repeats following scheme 1. In 4 rows of the collar, finish your work. Create 3 rows of single crochets along the lower edge of the jacket, alternating 1 double crochet with 2 chain stitches, followed by 3 rows of single crochets. Make 2 flat cords for straps, each 1.2 meters long, and attach them to the front.
