How to Crochet a Violet/Crimson/Plum Top with Lana Grossa Musica Yarn

You’ll Need:

550g of violet/crimson/plum Lana Grossa Musica yarn (97% cotton, 3% polyamide; 75m/50g);

Crochet hook 5.

Size:

S-M.

Used Patterns

Arched Pattern: the quantity of stitches is multiple of 5 + 3 chain stitches increase. Work according to the scheme with straight and reversed rows. Start every row with the needed quantity of chain stitches, as shown on the scheme.

Stitches Control

2 pattern repeats x 6 rows = 7 x 10 cm.

Instructions

Back and Front

Make 160 chain stitches + 3 chain stitches increase and work with the arched pattern = 32 pattern repeats in a row (8 pattern repeats from both sides refer to each half of the front, the central 16 pattern repeats – to back). In 50 cm = 30 rows from the set-up row, divide your work from both sides of central pattern repeats for arm-holes. At first, crochet back straight. In 18 cm = 11 rows from the beginning of arm-holes, finish your work. Then, crochet straight for 8 pattern repeats of front. In 18 cm = 11 rows mark the end of arm-hole and crochet straight for 28.5 cm = 17 rows for details of yoke. Finish your work.

Assembly

Sew short sides of yoke details = central back seam. Then, sew the inner edge of the yoke to the upper edge of back in order to A and B on pattern design coincide. Leave 18 cm open for arm-holes.
