Used Patterns

Main Pattern

Work with straight and reversed rows of treble crochets, start every row with 4 chain sts increase instead of the 1^st treble crochet and finish with 1 treble crochet in the 4^th chain st increase of the previous row.

Fans Pattern

The quantity of sts is multiple of 8 + 1 + 1 chain st increase. Work according to the scheme. Start every row with 1 extra chain st increase or 3 chain sts increase instead of the 1^st double crochet. Follow the sts before pattern repeat, pattern repeat, and finish with the sts after pattern repeat. Make 1^st-6^th rows once, then 3^rd-5^th rows once = 9 rows.

Note: Make sleeves on the edges of arm-holes.

Instructions

Back

Make 55 (63) 71 chain sts + 1 chain st increase and make 1 row of single crochets. Do not take this row into account. Then, work with the main pattern, starting with 1 WS row. In 33.5 cm = 16 rows from the set-up row, decrease 6 treble crochets from both sides for arm-holes (make slip sts above them in the beginning of row and leave these treble crochets open at the end of the row) and decrease 1 x 1 treble crochet in the next 2^nd row. For this, make the first and last 2 double crochets together, resulting in 41 (49) 57 sts. In 40 cm = 19 rows (44 cm = 21 rows) or 48.5 cm = 23 rows from the set-up row, start working with the fans pattern. Make the 1^st-5^th rows with dust-pink yarn and the 6^th-9^th rows with orange yarn, resulting in 4 (5) 6 pattern repeats plus initial and final sts. Finish back in 13 cm = 9 rows from the end of the main pattern.

Front

Make in the same way as the back.

Sleeves

Make shoulder seams to 10 (12) 14.5 cm from both sides. Fasten vertical edges of arm-holes with fans pattern using orange yarn. Make 49 (57) 65 single crochets in the 1^st row, resulting in 5 (6) 7 pattern repeats plus initial and final sts. Finish with a sleeve length of 13 cm = 9 rows.

Assembly

Make side seams. Sew the lower 5 cm of sleeve edges to the horizontal edges of arm-holes. Complete the sleeve seams.
