Main Pattern

The quantity of stitches is a multiple of 14 + 1. Work according to the scheme.

When changing the color of yarn, make the last double crochet of the row with the color of the next row.

Colors Order A

13 (14) rows of light-violet, blue, turquoise, light-green, and light-yellow (each) = 65 (70) rows.

Colors Order B

2 light-violet, blue, turquoise, light-green, and light-yellow rows (each); repeat from * to *.

“Grid” Pattern

The quantity of stitches is a multiple of 14 + 1. Work according to the scheme in the same way as the main pattern. Start with stitches before the pattern repeat, pattern repeat, and finish with stitches after the pattern repeat. Make rows 4 to 6 once, then repeat rows 5 and 6.

Note: After the 1st row of this pattern (= 4th row of the scheme), the quantity of stitches will be a multiple of 12 + 1.

Stitches Control:

• Main Pattern (crochet hook 3.5): 21 stitches x 11 rows = 10 x 10 cm;
• Main Pattern (crochet hook 4): 18.5 stitches x 9.5 rows = 10 x 10 cm;
• “Grid” Pattern (crochet hook 3.5): 21 stitches x 10.5 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

In 59 cm = 65 rows (63.5 cm = 70 rows) from the set-up row, switch to light-violet yarn and continue with the “grid” pattern. After making the 66th (71st) row from the set-up row, there will be 73 (97) stitches in work. In 68.5 cm = 75 rows (76 cm = 84 rows) from the set-up row, leave the central 31 (37) stitches open for the neck-hole and finish each side separately. In 78 cm = 85 rows (85.5 cm = 94 rows) from the set-up row, complete your work after making 21 (30) stitches for each shoulder.

In 31 cm = 32 rows from the set-up row, finish your work.
