Instructions

Central Part

Make 16 chain stitches + 3 chain stitches increase with grey yarn and work with double crochets. In 81 cm = 77 rows (90 cm = 85 rows) 98 cm = 93 rows from the setup row, finish your work.

Back and Front

Fasten the right long end of the central part with 1 row of single crochets using grey yarn, making 28 (31) 34 single crochets on each half of the front and 57 (63) 69 single crochets on the back = 113 (125) 137 single crochets. Then, work with the relief pattern using pink yarn. In 12 cm = 11 rows from the central part, switch to double crochets = 113 (125) 137 double crochets. In 13 cm = 12 rows from the central part, divide your work as follows: 28 (31) 34 double crochets for the left front, 57 (63) 69 double crochets for the back, and 28 (31) 34 double crochets for the right front.

Begin with the back. For sleeves, make 10 chain stitches + 3 chain stitches increase and work on all 77 (83) 89 double crochets. In 22 cm = 21 rows (24 cm = 23 rows) 26.5 cm = 25 rows from the beginning of the back, finish your work. Then, create the right front. For the sleeve, make 10 chain stitches + 3 chain stitches increase at the end of the row, then proceed to make 35 (38) 41 double crochets and the last 2 double crochets together for neck-hole chamfers = 37 (40) 43 double crochets. For the neck-hole chamfer, decrease 17 (18) 19 x 1 double crochet = 20 (22) 24 double crochets. Complete the work at the height of the back. Mirror the pattern to make the left front.

Lower Part

Fasten the left long end of the central part with 1 row of single crochets using grey yarn, making 32 (35) 38 single crochets on each half of the front and 67 (73) 79 single crochets on the back = 131 (143) 155 single crochets. Then, work with the relief pattern according to the established order. In 16.5 cm = 15 rows (20 cm = 18 rows) 23.5 cm = 21 rows from the central part, finish your work.

Assembly

Make shoulder and sleeve seams. Fasten the edges of the front and neck-hole with 1 row of relief pattern using the corresponding color. Sew on buttons.
