Then, create all the details as one-piece cloth around with the relief pattern to a height of 28 cm. After that, make 2 rows of single crochets, making decreases in the first row – crochet into a chain stitch.

Fold your work in half and step back 2 cm from the front side edge. Make 7 single crochets using light-green yarn for the strap. Then, crochet single crochets on these 7 stitches to a height of 20 cm and create the second strap in the same way. Sew the loose ends of the straps to the back.

Fasten the neck-hole with 2 rows according to scheme 3 using white yarn. Fasten the outer edges of the straps with white yarn, creating wings – work according to scheme 3, but leave 4 chain stitches unfinished at the end of each row. In total, make 4 rows.
