Used Patterns

Lace pattern: the quantity of stitches is a multiple of 8.

Stitches Control:

• Single crochets with crochet hook 5: 18 stitches x 21 rows = 10 x 10 cm;
• Lace pattern using 2 threads of yarn, with crochet hook 6: 16 stitches x 7 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

Instructions

Back/Front:

Make 76 (84) 92 chain stitches + 1 chain stitch and work with single crochets, starting every row with 1 chain stitch increase instead of the 1^st single crochet. In 40 (42) 44 cm from the set-up row, leave 7 stitches for armholes on both sides, resulting in 62 (70) 78 stitches. In 42.5 (46.5) 50.5 cm from the set-up row, make a chain of 24 stitches for the placket after 1 right side row and finish your work.

Assembly:

Make the side seams. For the placket, sew the chains to the back and front. Then, make 7 (8) 9 pattern repeats of the lace pattern along the upper edge of the back using double mélange yarn and crochet hook 6. Skip 6 x 1 stitch, make 3 pattern repeats on the next 16 chain stitches, and 3 pattern repeats for the left shoulder. Finally, fasten the front and right shoulder in the same manner, resulting in a total of 10 (12) 14 pattern repeats.

In 10 cm = 7 rows from the beginning of the placket, finish your work.
