Instructions

Back

Make 89 (98) 107 chain stitches + 3 chain stitches increase with light-green yarn and work with the main pattern. For better fitting, leave 1 x 1 stitch in every 11^th row from both sides and 2 x 1 stitch in every 10^th row, resulting in 83 (92) 101 stitches. In 56.5 cm = 65 rows (55 cm = 63 rows, 53 cm = 61 rows) from the set-up row, bind off 1 x 3 stitches from both sides for arm-holes and 3 x 2 stitches in every 2^nd row, resulting in 65 (74) 83 stitches. In 70.5 cm = 81 rows from the set-up row, leave the central 31 (30) 31 stitches and 17 (22) 26 stitches of shoulder, finishing at 73 cm from the set-up row.

Front

Make in the same way as the back, but with a V-shape neck-hole. For this, in 56.5 cm = 65 rows from the set-up row, leave the central stitch for sizes S and L, divide your work in half, and finish separately for size M. For neck-hole chamfer, bind off 7 x 2 stitches and 1 x 1 stitch in every 2^nd row. Finish your work on 17 (22) 26 stitches of shoulder at the height of back.

Assembly

Make seams. Fasten arm-holes with 1 row of single crochets using white yarn.
