Instructions

Top

Make 180 chain sts and circle them in a ring, then make 4 rows of double crochets. Next, create 16 pattern repeats following scheme 1, make 4 rows of double crochets, and decrease 10 crochets in the 1^st row. For the strap, make a cord using 2 threads of yarn with crochet hook 3 and insert it in the holes between the crochets of the last but one row.

Cape

Begin with 224 chain sts and circle them in a ring, followed by 1 row of double crochets. Subsequently, make 3 pattern repeats in height according to scheme 2. Then, join the yarn to the lower edge of the cape and make 1 row of double crochets, creating 2 chain sts at the location of the central 6 crochets in every pattern repeat. In the next row, work double crochets with 1 double crochet in the arch of 2 chain sts. For the neck-hole, create 3 double crochets together in these places in the following row. Finally, fasten the upper edge of the cape with 1 row of “shrimp stitch.”

Skirt

Start by making the fringe. Create 252 chain sts, circle them in a ring, and make 1 row of double crochets around. After that, proceed to make 3 pattern repeats in height according to scheme 2. Join the yarn to the set-up row and make 4 rows of double crochets, decreasing 26 crochets in the 1^st row. Continue with 5 pattern repeats following scheme 1, then make 3 rows of double crochets, decreasing 26 crochets again in the 1^st row, followed by 6 pattern repeats according to scheme 1. Finally, create 6 rows of double crochets along the upper edge of the skirt for the belt, decreasing 40 crochets in the 1^st row.
