Comprehensive Crochet Instructions for a Beautiful Sweater

You’ll Need

350g of lacy green yarn;

280g of the same yarn, but in beige color;

Crochet hook 6.

Stitches Control

11 sts = 10 cm due to scheme 1;

12 sts = 10 cm due to scheme 2.

Instructions

Back

Make 52 chain sts with green yarn and work with the pattern due to scheme 1. At 30 cm height, bind off 2 sts from both sides for arm-holes and decrease 4 x 1 st after 1 selvage st in every 2^nd row = 40 sts. At 51 cm height, finish your work.

Front

Make in the same way as back. At 30 cm height, make arm-holes in the same way as for back. At the same time, divide your work in half for V-shape neck-hole and knit them separately, decrease 9 x 1 st after 1 selvage st in every row from inwards = 11 sts for each shoulder. At 51 cm height, finish your work.

Sleeves

Make 31 chain sts with beige yarn and work with the pattern due to scheme 2. At 5 cm height, increase 5 x 1 st in every 2^nd row from both sides = 41 sts. At 40 cm height from the beginning of work, bind off 4 x 4 sts in every row from both sides for sleeve caps = 9 sts and finish your work at 50 cm height.

Assembly

Make all the seams and sew up the sleeves in the arm-holes. Fasten the neck-hole line with 1 row of single crochets and 1 row of “shrimp stitch” with beige yarn, circling every row with a slip stitch. Fasten the bottom part of sleeves in the same way, but with green yarn.
