Instructions

Back/Front

Make 225 (253) 281 chain sts with crochet hook 3.5, turn with the help of 1 chain st increase and make 1 single crochet in every chain st = 225 (253) 281 single crochets (= 1^st row of the scheme). Continue work due to the scheme = totally, 17 (19) 21 pattern repeats. When the length of the detail is 38 cm, divide your work into back and two halves of front.

Back

Work on the central sts = 0.5, 7, 0.5 (9) 0.5, 9, 0.5 pattern repeats. Make a mark in the center and crochet straight to arm-holes = about 36 cm to mark, finish with 1 row of chain st and single crochet, connect them in the way to get 14 chain sts in every pattern repeat.

Front

Make on the rest sts from both sides = 0.5, 4 (5) 0.5, 5 pattern repeats. Make front the same length as back, finish in the same way as back, but only on edge sts = 0.5, 2 (3) 0.5, 3 pattern repeats, make collar on the rest 2 pattern repeats.

Sleeves

Make 141 (141) 141 chain sts with crochet hook 3.5 and work with lacy pattern due to the scheme for sleeves (with decreases) until there are 4 pattern repeats in width. After that, make 4 pattern repeats in height and finish your work.

Assembly

Make shoulder seams on outer places 0.5, 2 (3) 0.5, 3 pattern repeats. Make side seams, leave the upper parts of arm-holes 36-37 cm long. Make sleeve seams. Sew up the sleeves.

Collar

Work due to the pattern on sts of front and back, increase 1 pattern repeat – increase 14 sts. When the length of collar is about 12 cm, finish your work in the same way as for back.

Sleeves Fastening

Fasten the edges of work with 1 row of single crochets with crochet hook 3, then, turn to crochet hook 2.5 and make 1 row of “shrimp stitch”. Sew buttons to the left front.
