Instructions

Back

Make 86 chain stitches + 3 chain stitches increase and make 14 rows of double crochets. Decrease 5 double crochets from both sides in the 15^th row, 3 double crochets from both sides in the 16^th row, and 2 double crochets from both sides in the 17^th row. Then, crochet straight. Leave the central 34 double crochets for the neck-hole in the 34^th row and finish both sides separately.

Make 2 more rows from each side:

• 1^st row: double crochets;
• 2^nd row: work from shoulder: 4 half crochets, 5 single crochets, and 7 double crochets (for shoulder chamfer). Finish another part of neck-hole in symmetry.

Front

Make in the same way as the back, but with a deeper neck-hole due to the pattern design.

Assembly

Make shoulder and side seams. Fasten the lower edges of work with 24 rows according to scheme 1. Then, make 1 row of single crochets. Insert cord at the edge of double crochets and pattern according to the scheme. Fasten the neck-hole with fringe according to scheme 2, inserting cord in the holes of the pattern. Fasten arm-holes with single crochets, then, according to scheme 2.
