Crocheting a Stylish Fuschia Sweater

You’ll Need:

320g of fuschia yarn (20% wool, 80% acrylic; 135m/50g);

Crochet hook 3;

9 buttons.

Size:

L.

Note:

Make back and front as one-piece cloth.

Instructions

Make 201 chain sts + 3 chain sts increase = 204 sts. Then, make 3 rows due to the scheme 1. Make 43 cm due to the scheme 2 (25 pattern repeats).

Then, divide your work into front and back in the following way: 5 pattern repeats – front, 2 pattern repeats (open) – sleeve arm-holes, 11 pattern repeats – back, 2 pattern repeats (open) – arm-holes, 5 pattern repeats – front. Then, make each part separately.

Back

Make 26 pattern repeats due to the scheme 2. Then, leave the central 5 pattern repeats open for neck-hole, and make 2 more rows for 3 pattern repeats in the beginning and in the end.

Left Front

Make 12 rows due to the scheme 2. Then, bind off 4 x 4 sts in every 2^nd row for neck-hole (1/2 pattern repeat). When there are 4 pattern repeats left in work, crochet straight to the level of back.

Right Front

Make in symmetry to the left front.

Assembly

Make shoulder seams. Fasten the arm-holes due to the scheme 3 with rows due to the scheme 1, 1 row of single crochets and 1 row of “shrimp stitch”.
