You’ll Need:

450 (500) 500g of blue Bahia yarn (50% viscose, 50% polyacryl; 106m/50g);

Crochet hook 4.

Size:

XS (S) M.

Used Patterns:

Relief pattern: due to the scheme. Repeat 1^st-3^rd rows x once, then, repeat 2^nd and 3^rd rows.

Stitches Control:

18 sts x 10 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

Instructions:

Back:

Make 81 (89) 97 chain sts + 1 chain st increase and make 1.5 cm = 4 rows of single crochets. Then, work with the relief pattern, starting with sts before pattern repeat, pattern repeat x 9 (10) 11 times, finishing with sts after pattern repeat. In 53 cm from the set-up row, decrease 3 x 1 (1) 1.5 pattern repeats from both sides for arm-holes. In 73 cm from the set-up row, decrease 2 x 2 (2.5) 2.5 pattern repeats. In 75 cm from the set-up row, finish your work.

Front:

Make in the same way as back but with a deeper neck-hole. For this, in 40 cm from the set-up row, leave the central 3 sts and finish both sides separately. In 66 cm from the set-up row, decrease 9 x 2 pattern repeats from inwards for neck-hole.

Sleeves:

Make 49 chain sts + 1 chain st increase and make 1.5 cm = 4 rows of single crochets. Then, work with the relief pattern, starting with sts before pattern repeat, pattern repeat x 5 times, finishing with sts after pattern repeat. For sleeve chamfers, increase ½ (1/2) 1 pattern repeat from both sides. In 44 cm from the set-up row, decrease 16 x 2.5 pattern repeats for sleeve caps. In 60 cm from the set-up row, finish your work.

Assembly:

Make shoulder seams; sew up sleeves, make side and sleeve seams. Fasten the edges of cut and neck-hole line with 3 rows of single crochets, making 3 single crochets in 1 st in the corners of the 2^nd and 3^rd rows. Fold the short sides of plackets right side up and sew.
