How to Crochet a Beautiful Garment Using Burgundy Yarn



You’ll Need:
400 (450)g of burgundy yarn (54% alpaca, 23% polyamide, 14% wool, 9% polyester; 115m/50g);
Crochet hook size 6.
Size:
S (M).
Used Patterns:
Main pattern: the quantity of sts is multiple 12 + 11. Work according to scheme 1. Start with sts before pattern repeat, pattern repeat, finish with sts after pattern repeat.
Note: make double crochets in chain sts of the previous row all the time. Make 1st-5th rows once, then, repeat 2nd-5th rows.
Pattern for placket: work according to scheme 2 with circular rows straight on the main pattern. Repeat 1st-8th circular rows.
Stitches Control:
18.5 sts x 7 rows = 10 x 10 cm.
Instructions:
Back:
Make 83 (95) chain sts + 3 chain sts increase and work with the main pattern. In 60 cm = 42 rows from the set-up row, finish your work.
Front:
Make in the same way as the back.
Sleeves:
Make 59 chain sts + 3 chain sts increase for each sleeve and work with the main pattern. In 31.5 cm = 22 rows from the set-up row, finish your work.
Assembly:
Make all the seams. Sew the upper edge of sleeves + 1 cm from both sides to the corresponding place of front and back side seams.
Fasten the last row of back, 1st sleeve, front, and 2nd sleeve with the pattern for placket.
For this, join the yarn with the help of 1 slip st on the arch (arrow A on the scheme). In 8 circular rows from the beginning of the pattern for placket, finish your work.
The Hook is 6mm, does that mean that the yarn is bulky weight? And how many yards?
Yes, the yarn is quite bulky.
400g = about 364yards
450g = about 405 yards
