Instructions

Bra

It consists of 2 same parts based on element due to scheme 11-1. Make work with crochet hook 3. At first, make each part separately. After making the 1^st-3^rd rows of the element, fasten it according to scheme 11-2 (4^th-8^th rows, black color). After fastening 2 parts, connect them from one side (center of the bra). Now, turn to fastening the upper edge of the bra according to scheme 11-2 (9^th-11^th row, red color). Make straps for each part of the bra, 32 cm long from the upper edge. Work with pattern according to scheme 11-2 (marked with black color in the upper part of the scheme).

Skirt

Start your work with crochet hook 3. Make 79 chain stitches from one side of the lower edge of the bra (back of the skirt), join it to another side of the lower edge of the skirt and then crochet the skirt around without seams. First, make the 1^st row of double crochet – 243 crochets (79 crochets for the back and 169 crochets for the front). Crochets for the lower edge of the bra are shown on the scheme 11-2 (marked with red, lower part of the scheme). Then, work with the main pattern according to scheme 71-3 from the 2^nd row (repeat 6^th-7^th rows). There are 31 pattern repeats in a row. Crochet straight, and at 25 cm from the beginning of the skirt, change to crochet hook 3.5.

Assembly

Fasten the upper edge of the bra and straps from both sides, fastening with a pattern according to scheme 11-4. Use more details according to scheme 11-2 (the 12^th row is marked with red in the upper part of the scheme). Sew the ends of the straps to the upper edge of the skirt. Make 9 elements according to scheme 11-1 and connect them in the last row between one another along the lower edge of the skirt. Places of connection are marked with arrows on the scheme. Sew backing to the ready-made dress.
