Instructions

Back and Front

Make as one-piece detail, starting from the back. Make 83 chain stitches with woolen yarn and work according to scheme 1. At 13 cm height, leave 6 stitches from both sides for arm-holes = 71 stitches and crochet straight. In 26 cm from the beginning of the arm-hole, leave the central 24 stitches unfinished for the neck-hole. For this, divide 71 stitches in half: 12 stitches from right and left sides of the center, and continue making both halves of the front separately, decreasing 1 stitch in every row from inwards for neck-hole chamfer in order to have only 6 stitches left. At the same time, in 14 cm from the beginning of the neck-hole, increase 1 stitch in every row. At 6 cm height, you should get 12 stitches for each half of the front. Cut the yarn.

Sleeves

Make side seams with kitchener’s stitch. Make sleeves from arm-holes. For arm-hole forming, fasten it with 1 row of single crochets. Make sleeves according to scheme 1 around, at the same time, decrease 2 x 1 stitch in every row at the beginning and at the end of the row. At 41 cm height of the main pattern, cut the yarn. Make fringe and cuffs with Meringo yarn. At first, make 1 row of single crochets, then, make 5 rows according to scheme 2.
