Square Pattern

For the 1st square, starting at arrow A, make 33 chain stitches + 1 chain stitch increase and work according to the scheme for 16 rows in straight and reversed directions (front post crochets).

For the 2nd square, join the yarn at arrow B in the corner of the 1st square and make 16 chain stitches. Turn your work and for the 1st row fasten chain stitches and continue work in straight and reversed order. Make all the next squares in the same way for the 1st stripe of squares. For the 2nd stripe of squares, join the yarn at the left upper corner of the last square of the 1st stripe (arrow C) and continue work in the following way.

Stitches Control

Square 16 stitches side: 9 x 9 cm;

Square 15 stitches side: 8 x 8 cm;

Square 14 stitches side: 7 x 7 cm.

Instructions

Make 33 chain stitches + 1 chain stitch increase and make squares in a stripe of 12 (14) 16 squares. Make 5 stripes of squares in height. Then, continue work with squares, but 15 stitches x 15 rows; for this, make 1 x 2 stitches together in the 1st row. In 7 stripes of squares = 61 cm from the set-up row, divide your work into 2 halves of 6 (7) 8 squares and make 2 stripes of squares on 14 stitches x 14 rows. In 9 stripes of squares = 75 cm from the set-up row, make 7 cm of main pattern for the placket and finish your work.

Assembly

Make shoulder seams from both sides, leaving the central 28 cm open for the neck-hole. Make 7 stripes of squares = 61 cm for the side seam. Fasten the edge of the arm-hole with 1 circular row of single crochets and slip stitches.
