Instructions

Upper Part of Back

Make 82 chain sts + 3 chain sts increase with orange-brown yarn and work with the main pattern. In 6.5 cm = 7 rows from set-up row, finish your work.

Upper Part of Front

Start in the same way as the upper part of the back, but in 7 cm = 8 rows from the set-up row, make decreases for arm-holes from both sides, as stated. At the same time, in 9 cm = 10 rows from the set-up row, divide your work in half and finish both sides separately. For this, turn in the center and finish the left side as stated in the 11^th row. For the strap, repeat 21^st and 22^nd rows after the 22^nd row. In 33 cm = 36 rows from the beginning of the strap, finish your work. Make the right half in symmetry.

Lower Part of Top

Make side seams of the upper part, work with the pattern of arches along the lower edge with brown yarn (= 16 pattern repeats = 160 sts. The rest 4 sts will be used for side seams). In 29 cm = 26 rows from the upper part, finish your work.

Assembly

Sew straps to back. Fasten all the edges with 1 row of single crochets with brown yarn. Fasten the upper edge of back with brown yarn in the following way: 5 double crochets in every single crochet.
