Instructions

Back

Make 88 chain sts and work with the main pattern. At 40 cm height, increase 3 x 1 double crochet from both sides = 94 double crochets. In 18 cm, leave the central 24 crochets for the neck-hole and finish each side separately for 2 more rows, decreasing 1 st in every row from inwards. Finish another side in symmetry.

Front

Make in the same way as back, but with a deeper neck-hole. For this, at 47 cm height, leave the central 14 crochets and after that finish each side separately, making decreases for smooth rounding due to the pattern design. Make another half in symmetry.

Assembly

Make shoulder seams. Fasten the neck-hole and sides with 1 row of single crochets and 1 row of double crochets. Then, fasten lower and upper edges with 1 row of single crochets, making arches of 3 chain sts in every 10 cm. For tassels, cut the yarn into 30 cm long threads, fold in half, and insert through the arches of 3 chain sts.

For the strap, join yarn at 20 cm height from the lower edge, make 70 chain sts and 1 row of slip sts. Insert the crochet hook in the next st and make one more cord, then make the 3^rd cord in the same way. Make a cable of these cords. Make such straps from both sides of the front and back.
