Used Patterns

Main pattern: the quantity of sts in the set-up row is multiple of 18 + 1. Work according to the scheme. Start with sts before pattern repeat, pattern repeat, and finish with sts after pattern repeat.

Stitches control: 33.5 sts x 9.5 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

Instructions

Back

Make 145 (163) 181 chain sts + 3 chain sts increase and work with the main pattern. In 72.5 cm = 69 rows from the set-up row, skip the central 18 cm for neck-hole and finish both sides separately. Finish your work on the rest sts of shoulders in 74.5 cm = 71 rows from the set-up row.

Front

Make in the same way as back, but create a neck-hole in 64 cm = 61 rows from the set-up row.

Sleeves

Make 91 (109) 109 chain sts + 3 chain sts increase and work with the main pattern. In 10.5 cm = 10 rows from the set-up row, increase 1 pattern repeat from both sides during the next 40 cm = 38 rows. It’s recommended to make pattern design in natural size. In 52.5 cm = 50 rows from the set-up row, finish your work.

Assembly

Make shoulder seams. Sew up the sleeves and complete side and sleeve seams. Fasten the edge of neck-hole with 1 circle row of single crochets. Insert satin lace in the front part through the central 4 (5) 4 big holes in the 24^th row. Make a bow.
