Instructions

Back

Make 97 (113) chain sts + 1 chain sts increase with Malia yarn and work with picot edge pattern according to the stripes order = 5 (6) pattern repeats + initial and final sts. In 50 cm = 35 rows (54.5 cm = 38 rows) from the set-up row, skip the central 49 sts for neck-hole and finish both sides separately. In 51.5 cm = 36 rows (56 cm = 39 rows) from the set-up row, finish your work with 24 (32) sts of shoulder.

Front

Make in the same way as for back, but in 47 cm = 33 rows (51.5 cm = 36 rows) from the set-up row, skip the central 49 sts.

Sleeves

Work from up to down. First, make shoulder seams. Then, fasten the upper 18.5 cm = 13 rows (21.5 cm = 15 rows) of front and back side edges by making 65 (81) single crochets with Malia yarn. Continue work with picot edge pattern according to the stripes order, starting from the 2^nd row (WS) = 3 (4) pattern repeats + initial and final sts. In 20 (23) rows from the beginning of making sleeves, make 1 row of single crochets with Malia yarn, and in 30 cm = 21 rows (34.5 cm = 24 rows) from the beginning of sleeves, finish your work.

Assembly

Make side and sleeve seams. Fasten the edge of the neck-hole with 2 circular rows of single crochets with Malia yarn, starting each circular row with 1 chain st instead of the 1^st single crochet and finishing with 1 slip st in chain st increase.
