Instructions

Skirt

Make 28 squares and connect them in the ring of 7 squares wide and 4 squares height. For this, starting from the 2^nd square, make 1 slip st in the arch of the previous square instead of the middle chain st in the last row in place marked with arrows on the scheme. Fasten the yarn near the side seam and make 1 row along the upper edge of skirt in the following way: 3 chain sts increase, * 2 chain sts, 1 double crochet in the next arch of chain sts*; repeat from * to *, 1 slip st in the chain st increase = 64 double crochets.

Front

Work with relief pattern on the rest 32 double crochets, make 1 double crochet instead of 2 double crochets in 1 st x once in the 3^rd pattern repeat and 6 times in the next 4^th pattern repeat. Leave 5 x 1 double crochet in every row from both sides for arm-holes. At the same time, leave 12 x 1 double crochet in every row from arm-holes. In 14,5 cm = 13 rows from the skirt, leave the central 22 double crochets for the neck-hole and finish both sides separately. For the straps, work with relief pattern on the outer 8 sts. In 30 cm = 27 rows from the skirt, finish your work.

Back

Work with relief pattern on the rest 32 double crochets, make 1 double crochet instead of 2 double crochets in 1 st x once in the 3^rd pattern repeat and 6 times in the next 4^th pattern repeat. Leave 5 x 1 double crochet in every row from both sides for arm-holes. At the same time, crochet 1 double crochet and the next double crochet (before the center or after the center) together in the 2^nd row. In 5,5 cm = 5 rows from skirt, finish your work.

Assembly
