Used Patterns

Pineapple Pattern:

The quantity of stitches for the set-up edge is multiplied by 17. Crochet according to scheme 1 in rows. Start each circle with 3 chain stitches for a height increase instead of 1 double crochet, and finish with stitches after the pattern, stitches for transition to circle rows, and 1 connecting stitch in the upper chain stitch of increase. Repeat from 1st to 13th rows once, then repeat the 13th row 0 (1) more time = 13 (14) circle rows.

Shells Pattern Circle Rows:

The quantity of stitches is multiplied by 5. Crochet according to scheme 2. Repeat stitches of the pattern. Transition to circle rows is made according to the scheme. Make 1st and 2nd rows once, then repeat the 2nd row. Shells pattern right side and reversed rows: the quantity of stitches is multiplied by 5 + 2. Crochet according to scheme 3. Start each row with 3 chain stitches of increase instead of 1 double crochet, repeat stitches of the pattern, and finish with stitches after the pattern and 1 connecting stitch in the upper chain stitch of increase. Make from 1st to 3rd rows once.

Stitches Control:

• Pineapple pattern: 19 stitches of the set-up edge and 8.5 rows = 10 x 10 cm;
• Shells pattern: 21 stitches and 8 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

Instructions

Make a chain of 170 (204) chain stitches and circle with 1 connecting stitch. The transition between circle rows is located in the center of the back. Make a yoke using the pineapple pattern. In 15 cm = 13 circle rows (16.5 cm = 14 circle rows) from the set-up edge, locate stitches in the following way: 10 (12) shells + 1/2 shell = back, 14 (16) shells + 1/2 shell from both sides = right sleeve, 19 (24) shells + 1/2 shell from both sides = front, 14 (16) shells + 1/2 shell from both sides = left sleeve, 1/2 shell + 9 (12) shells = back = 70 (84) shells. First, make 40 (50) shells of front and back with shells circle rows. In 28.5 cm = 23 circle rows (32.5 cm = 26 circle rows) from yoke, finish your work.

For sleeves, crochet 14 (16) shells + 1/2 shell from both sides with right side and reversed rows. In the 1st row, crochet 72 (82) stitches. At the same time, in 6 cm = 5 rows from the yoke, decrease 1 stitch from both sides for chamfers, then decrease 5 x 1 in each row and 4 x 1 stitch in every 2nd row = 52 (62) stitches. In 40 cm = 32 rows from the yoke, finish your work.

For the neck hole placket, fasten the set-up edge 2.5 cm = 3 circle rows with the ornament for the plackets. Finally, make sleeve seams.
