Used Patterns

Lacy Pattern

The quantity of sts is multiple 33 + 10 + 3 chain sts increase. Work according to scheme 1. Start with sts before pattern repeat, execute pattern repeat, and finish with sts after pattern repeat.

Net Pattern

The quantity of sts is multiple 3 + 2 + 3 chain sts increase. Proceed in the same way as the lacy pattern, but according to scheme 2. Work 1^st-3^rd rows once, then repeat 2^nd and 3^rd rows.

Fringe

1^st row: single crochets;

2^nd row: * 1 single crochet, 1 picot, skip 1 st*; repeat from * to *.

Stitches Control

Lacy pattern: 23 sts x 11.5 rows = 10 x 10 cm;

Net pattern: 25 sts x 10 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

Note

Make front and back as one-piece cloth.

Instructions

Front and Back

Make 274 (307) chain sts + 3 chain sts increase and work with the lacy pattern. In 20 cm from the set-up row, decrease 9 (10) x 1 st by making 2 double crochets together in every group of double crochets. Repeat these decreases in 30 and 36 cm from the set-up row. In 42 cm from the set-up row, make 209 (227) single crochets, then proceed with the net pattern. In 18 cm from the beginning of the net pattern, divide your work into front and back.

Back

Firstly, create the back on the central 40 (44) cm, leaving 1 x 2 and 2 x 1 cm in every row from both sides for arm-holes. In 32 cm from the beginning of the net pattern, leave the central 12 cm for the neck-hole, finishing both sides separately. For smooth rounding, bind off 1 x 2 cm and 1 x 1 cm in every row from inwards.

Right Front

Next, make the right front on the first 20 (22) cm, constructing the arm-hole from the right side similarly to the back. At the same time, leave 1 cm from the left side for the neck-hole chamfer and 16 x 0.5 cm. Complete your work at the height of the back.

Left Front

Make the left front symmetrical to the right front.

Assembly

Join shoulder seams; fasten the edges of the front with 1 row of single crochets and 1 row of “shrimp stitch.” Make 2 rows of fringe along the bottom edge. For the strap, create a chain 150 cm long with double yarn.
