Used Patterns

Flower Pattern:

The quantity of sts is multiple of 10 + 1. Work according to the scheme. Start every row, as indicated in the scheme, with sts before pattern repeat, pattern repeat, and finish with sts after pattern repeat. Make 1^st-7^th rows once, then repeat 2^nd-7^th rows.

Stripes Order:

1 olive row, * 3 dark-turquoise rows, 3 green rows, 3 light-blue rows, 3 lemon rows*; repeat from * to *.

Stitches Control:

21.5 sts x 8 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

Instructions

Back:

Make 101 (111) chain sts + 2 chain sts increase with olive yarn and work using the flower pattern according to the stripes order. In 56 cm = 45 rows (55 cm = 44 rows) from the set-up row, leave 4.5 cm = 10 sts (= 1 pattern repeat) open from both sides for arm-holes. In 75 cm = 60 rows from the set-up row, finish your work. The central 14 cm forms the neck-hole, with outer 12 (14.5) cm for shoulders.

Front:

Make similarly to the back, but with a deeper neck-hole. For this, in 65 cm = 52 rows from the set-up row, leave the central 14 cm open and finish both sides separately. Complete your work on 12 (14.5) cm of shoulder at the same height as the back.

Assembly:

Make shoulder seams. Begin the 1^st row of flower pattern along the lower edge of back and front with olive yarn. Then, complete side seams.
