Instructions:

Back:

For the upper part, make 62 (68) 74 chain stitches + 1 chain stitch increase and work with the main pattern = 29 (32) 35 pattern repeats + initial and final stitches. In 13.5 cm = 11 rows (15 cm = 12 rows) 16 cm = 13 rows from the set-up row, leave 1 pattern repeat from both sides for armholes and 4 x ½ pattern repeat in every row = 23 (26) 29 pattern repeats + ½ pattern repeat from both sides. In 23.5 cm = 19 rows (26.5 cm = 21 rows) 29 cm = 23 rows from the set-up row, leave the central 11 (12) 13 pattern repeats for the neck-hole and finish both sides separately. For smooth rounding, bind off 5 x ½ pattern repeat in every row from inward = 3 (4) 5 pattern repeats + ½ pattern repeat from both sides. In 32.5 cm = 26 rows (36.5 cm = 29 rows) 40 cm = 32 rows from the set-up row, finish your work. For the lower part, work with the arches pattern along the set-up row of the upper part, decrease 1 stitch in the 1^st row = 10 (11) 12 pattern repeats + 1 initial stitch. In 17.5 cm = 15 rows from the upper part of the chamfer, increase stitches as follows: make 2 instead of 3 unfinished double crochets together in 1 base stitch in every 2^nd pattern repeat of the 16^th row and make 2 single crochets or 2 treble crochets in these 2 stitches. In 4 rows, make increases in the remaining pattern repeats in the same way. In 37.5 cm = 32 rows (40 cm = 34 rows) 42.5 cm = 36 rows from the upper part, finish your work.

Front:

Make in the same way as the back, but with a deeper neck-hole. For this, in 17.5 cm = 14 rows (21.5 cm = 17 rows) 25 cm = 20 rows from the set-up row, leave the central 7 (8) 9 pattern repeats and 9 x ½ pattern repeat in every row.

Assembly:

Make shoulder and side seams. For the belt, make 9 chain stitches + 1 chain stitch increase and work 9 rows of single crochets, starting each row with 1 chain stitch increase instead of the 1^st single crochet. Then, work with the pattern for the belt. For the tassel, make a chain of 25 stitches and make 2 single crochets at the right end of the belt, finish with a second chain of 25 stitches. String 1 bead to the beginning and end of the tassel and fix with a knot.
