Instructions

Front

Make 149 chain stitches + 3 chain stitch increase and create 43 stitches of the rhombs pattern, 63 stitches of the hearts pattern, and then 43 stitches of the rhombs pattern. In 39 cm from the set-up row, leave the central 45 stitches for the neck-hole and finish both sides separately. For the neck-hole chamfer, decrease 1 x 3 stitches. In 50 cm from the set-up row, finish your work.

Back

Make in the same way as the front, but without the neck-hole.

Sleeves

Make 7 chain stitches for the fringe and work according to scheme 3 from arrow B, starting every odd row with a 3 chain stitch increase. In 24 rows, finish your work. Make 59 stitches along the straight edge of fringe = *1 double crochet, 1 chain stitch, skip 1 base stitch*; repeat from * to *, 1 double crochet. Continue work with rhombs patterns. For sleeve chamfers, increase 30 x 1 stitch in every row from both sides. In 27 cm from the set-up row, finish your work.

Assembly

Make all the seams. Fasten the neck-hole with 1 row of “picots”: 1 single crochet, 3 chain stitches, 1 slip stitch in the 1^st chain stitch increase, skip 1 base stitch. Make fringe for the bottom of the pullover: make 23 chain stitches and work according to scheme 3 from arrow A. Finish your work in 136 rows. Sew fringe with the side edge to the bottom of the pullover.
