Used Patterns

Main Pattern:

The quantity of stitches is multiple of 3 + 2 + 3 chain stitches increase. Work according to scheme 1.

Start every row with 3 or 1 chain stitch increase instead of the 1^st double crochet or 1^st double crochet and stitches before pattern repeat, pattern repeat, and finish with stitches after pattern repeat. Make 1^st-7^th rows x once, then repeat 2^nd-7^th rows. Work with single crochets and double crochets in chain stitches of the previous row, starting from the 3^rd row.

Net Pattern:

The quantity of stitches is a multiple of 5 + 1 + 1 chain stitch increase in the 1^st row. Work according to scheme 2 for back and front of armholes. Start every row with 1 or 3 chain stitches increase instead of the 1^st single crochet or 1^st double crochet and stitches before pattern repeat, pattern repeat, and finish with stitches after pattern repeat. Make 1^st-3^rd rows x once, then repeat 2^nd-3^rd rows. Work with single crochets in chain stitches of the previous row.

Stitches Control:

• Main pattern: 14 stitches x 7.5 rows = 10 x 10 cm;
• Net pattern: 25 stitches x 9 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

Instructions

Lower Placket:

Make 29 chain stitches + 3 chain stitches increase with beige yarn and work with the main pattern = 8 pattern repeats + ½ pattern repeats from both sides. Finish your work in 89 cm = 67 rows (97 cm = 73 rows) 105 cm = 79 rows from the set-up row.

Back:

Leave the first and last 17 (18.5) 20 rows from the left side of the lower placket and make the central 33 (35 + ½ pattern repeat from both sides) 39 rows of the main pattern. Make 62 (68) 74 double crochets in the 1^st row with beige yarn = 19 (21) 23 pattern repeats + ½ pattern repeat from both sides, then work with white yarn. In 21.5 cm = 16 rows from lower placket, leave 5 (8) 8 double crochets, which is 1.5 (2.5) 2.5 pattern repeats from both sides for armholes. Leave ½ arches = ½ pattern repeat in the next row = 15 (15) 17 pattern repeats + ½ pattern repeat from both sides. In 32 cm = 24 rows (32 cm = 24 rows) 36 cm = 27 rows from the lower placket, continue work with beige yarn. Finish your work in 41.5 cm = 31 rows (41.5 cm = 31 rows) 45.5 cm = 34 rows from the lower placket, the central 22 stitches form the neck-hole, outer 14 (14) 17 stitches from each side – shoulders.

Front:

Put the first and last rows of lower plackets together = center of front. Work with the main pattern on 33 (35 + ½ pattern repeats from both sides) 39 previously left rows of lower placket in the same way as for the back. In 32 cm = 24 rows (32 cm = 24 rows) 36 cm = 27 rows from the lower placket, leave the central 8 arches and finish both sides separately at the height of the back.

Sleeves:

At first, make shoulder seams. For this, fold back and front RS facing and starting on one side, connect shoulders by making 1 single crochet in double crochets of shoulder edges, then fasten back neck-hole with single crochets and connect the other shoulder. Fasten the edges of armholes with net pattern using beige yarn, making 10 (10) 12 pattern repeats on front and back edges in the 1^st row = 20 (20) 24 pattern repeats = 101 (101) 121 stitches. For sleeve chamfers, leave ½ arch in every 4^th row and 3 (1) 3 x ½ arch in every 2^nd row = 16 (18) 20 pattern repeats. At 13.5 cm = 12 rows (15.5 cm = 14 rows) 17.5 cm = 16 rows length of sleeve, make 7^th row of the main pattern = 1.5 cm x once, finish your work when the length of the sleeve = 15 (17) 19 cm.

Assembly

Make side and sleeve seams. For straps, make a chain of 150 (160) 170 cm long with double beige and white yarn, and make a knot.
