Crochet hook 2.

Size:

S.

Stitches Control:

24 sts x 16 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

Instructions:

Front and Back

Make the central part as one-piece cloth from up to down. Make 192 chain sts + 3 chain sts increase with turquoise yarn, then work 1 row of treble crochets. Next, move on to the relief pattern according to the scheme, alternating 1 turquoise and 1 white row. At 20 cm height, finish your work. Make 1 row of treble crochets along the set-up row using white yarn. Change to light-blue yarn and create 1 row of treble crochets. Afterward, divide your work into 3 parts: 46 sts for each half of the front and 100 sts for the back. Finish each detail separately.

Upper Part of Back

Work with treble crochets using light-blue yarn, increasing 1 treble crochet from both sides in the 6^th, 8^th, 10^th, and 12^th rows. In 16 rows from the beginning of the arm-hole, finish your work.

Upper Part of Left Front

Make increases from the right side in the same manner as for the back. Construct the left side symmetrically. Finish your work at the height of the back.

Upper Part of Right Front

Work symmetrically to the left front.

Assembly

Make shoulder seams. Fasten with 1 row of single crochets using light-blue yarn. Secure the lower edge of the vest with 1 row of treble crochets using turquoise yarn followed by 1 row of single crochets with light-blue. Fasten the edges of the front with 1 row of single crochets and 1 row of treble crochets using light-blue yarn. Fold the edges of the front, using lapels, and fasten them (see the photo).
