Instructions

Back

Make 82 (100) chain sts + 3 chain sts increase and work with lace pattern. In 46 cm from the set-up row, work on 82 (100) double crochets, starting every row with 3 chain sts increase instead of the 1^st double crochet. In 52 cm from the set-up row, decrease 6 (7) cm from both sides due to the pattern design for arm-holes. In 10 cm from the beginning of the arm-hole, make V-shape neck-hole due to the pattern design on the central 24 (28) cm. In 18 cm from the beginning of the arm-hole, finish your work.

Front

Make in the same way as back, but with a deeper neck-hole. For this, make V-shape neck-hole due to the pattern design on the central 24 (28) cm.

Assembly

Make shoulder and side seams. Fasten V-shape neck-hole with fringe, arm-holes with 1 row of single crochets and 1 row of “shrimp stitch”.
