Round Motif A (Red Circles)

Work with circle rows according to scheme 1. Make 1^st, 2^nd, and 3^rd rows with blue yarn, 4^th and 5^th rows with white yarn.

Ribbon:

Make 4 chain stitches and circle them in a ring with 1 slip stitch: *1 single crochet, 5 half-crochets, 4 chain stitches, 1 single crochet, turn your work*; repeat from * to *, continuing along the chain of 4 chain stitches to reach the needed length.

Connection of Motifs:

Make 8 chain stitches and circle it in a ring with 1 slip stitch for the first motif. Make 5 circle rows as stated on scheme 1. Create all the following motifs in the same way as the first motif, paying attention to the yarn color, and join them to previous motifs at positions marked with arrows in the 5^th circle row. For this, make 1 slip stitch instead of 1 chain stitch in the chain stitch of the previous motif. The full 1^st motif is illustrated on scheme 1, along with connection points of neighboring motifs.

Stitches Control:

1 circle motif = 7.5 cm in diameter.

Instructions:

Back/Front:

Make 35 round motifs A and 34 round motifs B, connecting them together as per scheme 2. Initially, place the 1^st-10^th motifs in a row and connect the 10^th motif with the 1^st motif to form the 1^st round. Continue making the 2^nd round in the same way, connecting motifs to the 1^st round with replacements. Repeat this for the next 3 rounds. For the back, join 4 round motifs in the subsequent row, then attach 3 more motifs, followed by another 4 motifs. For the front, join 4 motifs similarly, place 2 motifs in the next row to create the neck-hole, and add 2 more round motifs in the last row, as depicted in scheme 2. Furthermore, join motif B to motif C while crafting the last row, and consistently join motif A to motif D.

Assembly:

Create 3 ribbons: 2 ribbons measuring 54 cm long and 1 ribbon measuring 105 cm long. Sew the 2 shorter ribbons along the armholes and the long ribbon along the neck-hole, leaving loose ends of 20 cm and 10 cm long.
