Instructions

Upper Part of Back

Make 102 chain sts with yellow yarn and make 6 rows according to scheme 1, then change to red-brown yarn and make 5 rows as per scheme 2. Next, crochet 7 rows of pattern according to scheme 1 followed by 5 rows of scheme 2 in alternating colors of your choice. When the piece measures 26 cm in height from the set-up row, increase 15 chain sts from both sides for sleeves. Crochet straight for 15 cm while alternating stripes and patterns. Following this, divide the sts in half and finish each side separately, making decreases according to the pattern design in natural size.

Upper Part of Front

Make in the same way as the back, but create a deeper neck-hole. To achieve this, at 3 cm in height from the start of the sleeve increases, divide the sts in half and finish each side separately while making decreases per the pattern design in natural size. After completing the shoulder and side seams, join turquoise yarn to the bottom of the dress and work according to scheme 2. The first increase should be made in the 3^rd row, as stated on the scheme. Perform 10 decreases every 6 cm in this row.

Change to peachy yarn and continue with 4 rows according to scheme 3 without increases. After this, switch to grey yarn for 5 rows, making increases in the 2^nd row. Follow this with 4 rows of yellow yarn, making increases in the 3^rd row at an 11 cm interval. Change back to peachy yarn and crochet 5 rows as per scheme 3, with increases in the 4^th row at a 13 cm interval. Next, use turquoise yarn to complete 5 rows, introducing increases in the 4^th row at a 15 cm interval. Finally, switch to red-brown yarn for 1 row according to scheme 3, and proceed without increases in red-brown yarn per scheme 4, then crochet 1 row of white, followed by 2 rows of peachy, and finish with 1 row of white.

Fringe

Join peachy yarn to the edge of the neck-hole and make 3 rows following scheme 4, decreasing 2 crochets in every row for a smooth rounding effect.

Fasten the collar using white yarn (5^th row according to scheme 4). Complete the sleeves with 1 row of double crochets and 1 row of single crochets using peachy yarn, and finish with the 5^th row according to scheme 4 in white color.
