Make 35 chain sts with dark-blue yarn and work according to the scheme, alternating the colors of yarn as stated. Continue with dark-blue yarn, repeating the 17^th and 18^th rows of the scheme. At the same time, increase 4 x 1 st in every 6^th row from both sides = 43 sts. At 21 cm height, finish your work.

Assembly

Make right shoulder, side and sleeve seams, leaving the upper 2 cm open. Sew up the sleeves in the armholes, connect and sew the remaining 2 cm of sleeves. Fasten the lower edge of sleeves with 2 rows of single crochets and 1 row of “shrimp stitch” with dark-blue yarn. Fasten the neck-hole with 1 row of single crochets using dark-blue yarn and 2 rows of single crochets with cream yarn, making 2 single crochets together in the inner corners of the front neck-hole. Fasten the edges of the left shoulder with 3 rows of single crochets using cream yarn, making 3 button-holes in the 2^nd row from the front side. Sew buttons to the back shoulder.
