Instructions

Back

Make 92 chain sts with violet yarn and work with the pattern according to the scheme, alternating different colors of yarn. At 44 cm height, bind off 8 sts from both sides for arm-holes and crochet straight. At 65 cm height, finish your work.

Front

Make in the same way as the back. At 61 cm from the beginning of work, bind off the central 18 sts for the neck-hole line, 1 x 4 sts, 1 x 3 sts, and 1 x 2 sts in every row. At 65 cm height, finish your work.

Sleeves

Make 48 chain sts with violet yarn and work with the pattern according to the scheme, alternating different colors of yarn. Starting from the 6^th row, increase 15 x 1 st in every 3^rd row from both sides = 78 sts. At 54 cm height, finish your work.

Assembly

Sew shoulders. For the collar, lift 88 sts along the neck-hole line with violet yarn and make 1 row of single crochets, circling this and all the following rows in a ring by means of slip st. Increase 40 sts in the 2^nd row of single crochets = 128 sts and continue work according to the scheme, increasing 22 x 2 sts in every 2^nd row from both sides along each shoulder line = 216 sts. At 30 cm height, finish your work. Make the rest seams and sew the sleeves. Fasten the whole work with 1 row of single crochets with violet yarn.
