Instructions

Back

Make 110 chain sts and 2 rows of double crochets. Then, work with relief pattern due to the scheme, repeat 2^nd-3^rd rows. At 43 cm height, make 35 chain sts from both sides for sleeve forming. Crochet straight for 13 rows. Then, bind off the central 14 cm for neck-hole and finish each side separately. Make 3 more rows, making decreases for neck-hole rounding from inwards, as it’s stated on the scheme. At 17 cm height of sleeve, finish your work. Make the second side in symmetry.

Front

Make 48 chain sts for right front and make 2 rows with double crochets. Then, work with relief pattern due to the scheme, repeat 2^nd-3^rd rows. At 43 cm height, make 16 chain sts from the left side for sleeve and crochet 11 rows straight. Then, leave 3 cm from the right side for neck-hole and make 5 rows, making decreases due to the scheme. Finish your work at the height of back. Make left side in symmetry.

Assembly

Make shoulder seams. Fasten the neck-hole and sleeve edges with 1 row of double crochets. Then, connect right and left details of front in the following way: along right front * 3 double crochets, 9 chain sts, skip 4 cm of base (= 8 sts)*; repeat from * to *. Then, make 1 row of double crochets. Fasten left detail in the same way, but insert chain through arches of right detail. Make side and sleeve seams.
