Instructions

Back and Front

Make back and front together to arm-holes, then, finish both details separately. Make 300 (340) 380 chain sts + 3 chain sts increase and work due to the scheme.

1^st row: 1 double crochet from the 4^th chain st, 8 double crochets, * 10 chain sts, skip 10 chain sts, 10 double crochets*; repeat from * to *, 10 chain sts, skip 10 chain sts, 1 double crochet.

Make the 2^nd row due to the scheme.

Repeat 1^st-10^th rows.

There are 15 (17) 19 pattern repeats in work = 30 (34) 38 squares.

When you make 50 (50) 55 rows and there are 10 (10) 11 squares in work, divide your work in half (for front and back) and at first, make one half of 7,5 (8,5) 9,5 pattern repeats = 15 (17) 19 squares.

Upper Part of Back

When there are 14 (19) 19 rows = 2 (3) 3 squares and 4 or 9 rows in the next square, separate 3,5 pattern repeats = 7 squares for neck-hole and make arm-holes separately. There are 2 (2,5) 3 pattern repeats = 4 (5) 6 squares from each side. Make 5 rows = 1 square and cut the yarn. Make the second arm-hole in the same way.

Upper Part of Front

Make 9 (14) 14 rows = 1 (2) 2 squares and 4 or 9 rows in the next square, separate 7 squares in the next row in the center = 3,5 pattern repeat for neck-hole and make arm-holes separately. There are 2 (2,5) 3 pattern repeats = 4 (5) 6 squares from each side. Make 10 rows = 2 squares and cut the yarn. Make the second arm-hole in the same way.
