Instructions

Back

Cast on 67 stitches and knit 1 row of purls. Make the relief net, starting from the next row. After 60 cm, bind off 2 stitches from both sides for armholes. Then, decrease 1 stitch in 5 paired rows. Bind off all stitches at 78 cm.

Front

Make the same way as the back up to 70 cm in height. Then, bind off the central 27 stitches for the neck-hole and finish separately. Decrease 1 stitch twice from the inner side of the neck-hole. Bind off the remaining stitches for the shoulders at 78 cm.

Assembly

Make shoulder seams. Sew sides and sleeves. Fasten the neck-hole, bottom part of the sleeve, and tunic with 2 rows of single crochets using the crochet hook. Make "picot" in every 3rd crochet of the last row. Crochet leaves and circles decorations according to the schemes. Sew these decorations to your tunic.
