500 (550) 600 g of Arcadia turquoise yarn (70% cotton, 24% polyamid, 6% polyester, 110m/50g);

Crochet hook 5;

5 silver buttons (2.3 cm diameter) and 1 silver button for a bag (3 cm diameter);

Main Pattern

The quantity of stitches is multiplied by 6 + 1. Crochet according to Scheme 1.

Stitches Control

Main pattern, for the 1st - 6th rows: 17.5 set-up stitches and 5 rows = 10 x 5 cm; from the 7th row: 16.5 set-up stitches and 6.5 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

Note:

The jacket is made as a whole sheet to the start of armholes.

Instructions

Back and Front

Make a chain of 169 (187) 205 chain stitches + 2 chain stitches increase and crochet with the main pattern = 27 (30) 33 pattern repeats plus start and final stitches. Start and final stitches are designed for 1/2 pattern accordingly. For armholes, at 40.5 (38.5) 37 cm from the set-up, continue crocheting back on central 44 cm = 11 patterns + 1/2 pattern from both sides (48 cm = 12 patterns + 1/2 pattern from both sides) 52 cm = 13 patterns + 1/2 pattern from both sides, paying attention to the symmetry. In 59 cm from the set-up edge, finish your work. Then return left front stitches to work and continue crocheting. In 43.5 cm from the set-up row, start making chamfer for the neck hole from the left side. To make this, starting with the 31st row from the set-up edge, make a chamfer for the neck hole according to Scheme 2 and finish it. On the remaining stitches of the shoulder, finish your work to match the height of your back. Then make the right front in symmetry with the left.

Sleeves

Make a chain of 41 (45) 49 chain stitches + 2 chain stitches increase and crochet with the main pattern. In the 6th row, slip 3 instead of 5 half-crochets between the groups of double crochets, and before the first and last groups of double crochets, slip 1 instead of 2 half-crochets = 9 (10) 11 patterns + start and final stitches. In 47 cm from the set-up edge, finish your work.

Assembly

Make shoulder and sleeve seams, inseam the sleeves. For the plackets of fastener and neck hole, fasten the edges of fronts and neck holes with 5 rows of the main pattern - 1st - 5th rows, Scheme 1. For rounding the neck hole, crochet 1 x 2 half-crochets together in the 1st, 3rd, and 5th rows near the shoulder seam. Make in the right front placket 5 holes for buttons in the 3rd row (instead of 2 half-crochets, make 2 chain stitches). Make 1 hole 2 cm higher than lower edge, and others with 9 cm intervals. Sew the buttons.

Bag

Make a chain of 37 chain stitches + 2 chain stitches increase and crochet with the main pattern. Make once 1st - 5th rows, then repeat the 4th and 5th rows. In 57 cm from set-up edge, finish your work. Fasten your work along the fringe with 1 circle row of single crochets. In the middle of the upper edge, make 1 loop for the button. To make this, turn down the lower 20 cm right side inside between 2 central single crochets, then make side seams. Turn over your bag, turn down the lapel, and sew the button on the front part of your bag. Fasten the chain.
