Instructions

Back and Front

Make 212 chain stitches with coral yarn and circle in the ring.

Make with double crochets in circle rows. At 10 cm height, make decreases by combining every 19^th and 20^th double crochets together. Repeat 1 decrease in every 7^th row. At 45 cm height, there should be 152 double crochets left. Crochet 10 cm straight. Then, double every 20^th crochet. Repeat increases in every 7^th row. At 73 cm height, there should be 168 double crochets in work. Then, mark side double crochets, divide your work into front and back, and finish them separately with straight and reversed rows.

Back

Make decreases, matching with the pattern design. At 10 cm height of arm-hole, divide your work in half and finish each side separately. At 18 cm height of arm-hole, finish your work. Make another side in symmetry.

Front

Make arm-holes in the same way as for the back. At 10 cm height of arm-hole, make neck-hole, matching with the pattern design. At 18 cm height of arm-hole, finish your work. Make another side in symmetry.

Sleeves

Make 56 chain stitches with coral yarn and work with double crochets with straight and reversed rows. Increase 1 stitch from both sides for sleeve chamfers in the 4^th and 6^th rows. At 7 cm height, make the sleeve cap, matching with the pattern design. At 13 cm height of sleeve cap, finish your work.

Assembly

Make shoulder and side seams, sew up the sleeves.

Collar

Mark the center of the neck-hole in front, work with double crochets with white yarn from this point to the cut on the back (about 48 double crochets). Turn, continue work with double crochets with straight and reversed rows, doubling every 10^th crochet in the 2^nd, 4^th, and 6^th rows. Make 7 rows, then finish your work. Make the second half of the collar in symmetry. Fasten the back neck-hole with 1 row of single crochets with coral yarn. Sew button, make a hanging loop of 6 chain stitches from the opposite side. Fasten the edges of the collar with 1 row of single crochets with white yarn. Fasten the edges of sleeves with 1 row of single crochets with white yarn, 1 row of double crochets, and 1 row of single crochets. For the belt, make 150-170 chain stitches with white yarn, make 5 rows of double crochets. Then, fasten the belt with 1 row of single crochets. Sew snaps. Make decorative seams with coral yarn along the edges of the collar, sleeves, and belt.
