Crochet Pattern for a Stylish Pink-White Cotton Sweater

Size:

S

You'll Need:

• Donita yarn (60% cotton, 40% polyamid; 140m/50g) - 300g pink-white;
• Sandy yarn (100% cotton; 120m/50g) - 150g white;
• Hook 3.5 mm and 4 mm.

Main Pattern:

The quantity of sts of the set-up row is multiplied by 31 + 22. Crochet according to the scheme. Start with the st before the pattern, constantly repeat the pattern, and finish with the sts after the pattern. Make rows 1-15, then consistently repeat rows 6-15.

Stitch Control:

Use hook 4 mm with Sandy thread and hook 3.5 mm with Donita - 18.5 sts of the set-up row x 7.5 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

Back

Make a chain of 84 ch + 1 ch increase with white thread and hook 4 mm. Crochet with the main pattern. In 14.5 cm = 11 rows from the set-up row, continue working with hook 3.5 mm using Donita thread. In 66 cm = 50 rows from the set-up row, finish your work.

Front

Crochet the same as the back, but with a hole for the neck. For this, in 53.5 cm = 40 rows from the set-up row, slip the middle 4 cm and finish both sides separately. For the neckhole, slip in each next row 2 x 2 cm and 4 x 1 cm along the inner edge, finishing your work the same height as the back on the remaining sts.

Sleeves

Make a chain of 45 ch + 1 ch increase with hook 4 mm and white thread for each sleeve using the main pattern from arrow A to arrow B. Start each row with 3 set-up ch instead of 1 dc and finish with 1 dc. Make the change of colours the same way as in the back. At the same time, make increases for sleeve bevelling over the next 36 cm, evenly spreading 6 cm. Initially, crochet increases with dc and incorporate them into the pattern step by step. In 37 cm from colour changing, finish your work.

Assembly

Make shoulder seams. Make side and sleeve seams. Crochet the neck hole with white thread using 1 circular row of sc and "shrimp stitch" (make sc from left to right).
