Used Patterns
Wavy Pattern
The quantity of sts is multiple of 12. Work according to scheme 1. Start with sts before pattern repeat, pattern repeat, and finish with sts after pattern repeat. Make 1st-4th rows once, then repeat 2nd-4th rows according to the stripes order.
Stripes order in wavy pattern: *1 orange row, 1 yellow row, 1 mélange yellow row, 1 turquoise row*; repeat from * to *.
Net Pattern
The quantity of sts is multiple of 6 + 4. Make in the same way as wavy pattern, but according to scheme 2. Make 1st-3rd rows once, then repeat 2nd-3rd rows.
Stitches Control:
wavy pattern: 17 sts x 8 rows = 10 x 10 cm;
net pattern: 21.5 sts x 9 rows = 10 x 10 cm.
Instructions
Back

In 24.5 cm = 22 rows (22.5 cm = 20 rows) 20.5 cm = 18 rows from patterns change, leave 4 sts from both sides for armholes. Then, leave 5 x 2 sts, 3 x 1 st in every row, and 1 x 1 st in the next 2nd row. In 45.5 cm = 41 rows from patterns change, finish your work on the rest 58 (70) 82 sts.
