How to Crochet a Stylish Red Mercerized Cotton Garment

You’ll Need:

300g of red 100% mercerized cotton yarn (200m/50g);

Crochet hook 1.4.

Size:

M.

Used Patterns

Main pattern: due to the scheme. The quantity of sts is multiple 34 + 1 + 3 chain sts increase.

Stitches Control:

1 pattern repeat x 17 rows = 8.5 x 10 cm.

Instructions

Make 171 chain sts + 3 chain sts increase and work with the main pattern. In 50 cm from the beginning of work, make 34 chain sts (= 1 pattern repeat) from both sides for sleeves. In 29 rows from the beginning of sleeves, make neck-hole in the following way: 2 pattern repeats – left sleeves, leave 3 pattern repeats and make 102 chain sts instead – neck-hole, 2 pattern repeats – right sleeve. Then, work in symmetry.

Assembly

Make side, shoulder and sleeve seams. Fasten neck-hole, edges of sleeves and bottom with 2 rows of single crochets and 1 row of “shrimp stitch.”
