Used Patterns

Shells Pattern

The quantity of sts is multiple 12 + 1. Work according to scheme 1, starting with 1 WS row. Begin with sts before pattern repeat, follow the pattern repeat, and finish with sts after pattern repeat.

Fringe of Shells

The quantity of sts is multiple 12. Work according to scheme 2 with circle rows on the edges of pattern 1. Start every circle row with 1 chain st instead of the 1^st single crochet, follow the pattern repeat, and finish with 1 slip st in chain st increase. Make 1^st-2^nd circle rows once, then make double crochets only around chain st of the previous row in the 2^nd circle row.

Stitches Control

Shells pattern: 20.5 sts x 8 rows = 10 x 10 cm;

Fringe of shells: 20.5 sts x 2 circle rows = 10 x 3 cm.

Instructions

Back

Make 97 (109) 121 chain sts + 1 chain st increase and work with shells pattern = 7 (8) 9 pattern repeats + initial and final sts. In 40 cm = 32 rows from the set-up row, decrease ½ pattern repeat from both sides for arm-holes by skipping sts at the beginning of the row and making slip sts at the end of the row = 7 (8) 9 pattern repeats + 1 st.

In 56.5 cm = 45 rows (59 cm = 47 rows) 61.5 cm = 40 rows from the set-up row, skip the central 3 pattern repeats (4 pattern repeats) 3 pattern repeats + ½ pattern repeat from both sides and finish both sides separately. Make 3 chain sts instead of 4 for each arch of chain sts in the 47^th (49^th) 51^st row from the set-up row and finish your work on the rest 2 (2) 2 ½ pattern repeats for shoulder in 59 cm = 47 rows (61.5 cm = 49 rows) 64 cm = 51 rows from the set-up row.

Front

Make in the same way as back, but for a deeper neck-hole, bind off the central 1 (2) 1 pattern repeats + ½ pattern repeat from both sides in 49 cm = 39 rows (51.5 cm = 41 rows) 54 cm = 43 rows from the set-up row, and for smooth rounding, decrease 1 pattern repeat from both sides in the following 8 rows.

Sleeves

Make 49 (61) 73 chain sts + 1 chain st increase for each sleeve and work with shells pattern = 3 (4) 5 pattern repeats + initial and final sts. For sleeve chamfers, increase 1 pattern repeat from both sides in the following 30 cm = 24 rows in 15 cm = 12 rows from the set-up row = 5 (6) 7 pattern repeats + initial and final sts. Make 3 chain sts instead of 4 for every arch of chain sts in the 41^st row from the set-up row and finish your work in 51.5 cm = 41 rows.

Assembly

Make shoulder seams and then make side and sleeve seams. Fasten all edges with 3 cm = 2 circle rows of fringe of shells, making 16 (18) 20 pattern repeats along the lower edge and 4 (5) 6 pattern repeats on the edges of sleeves. Fasten neck-hole with fringe of shells, dividing base sts in the 1^st circle row to make 4 (5) 5 pattern repeats on back neck-hole and 5 (6) 6 pattern repeats on front neck-hole.
