Instructions

Back

Cast on 71 stitches and work with the relief pattern; make rows 1-9 x 7 times. Finish with 2 rows of garter stitch. Then, change to yellow yarn and work with the stockinette stitch. In 2 rows, bind off 1 x 4 stitches, 1 x 3 stitches, and 2 x 1 stitch in every 2^nd row from both sides for armholes. Knit straight for height. At 38 cm height, bind off the central 23 stitches for neck-hole and finish each side separately. At 15 cm height of arm-hole, bind off the remaining stitches of the shoulder.

Front

Make in the same manner as the back, but with a deeper neck-hole. For this, at 33 cm height from the start, bind off the central 10 stitches and finish each side separately. For smooth rounding, bind off 1 x 3 stitches, 1 x 2 stitches, and 1 x 1 stitch in every 2^nd row from inwards. At 43 cm height from the start, bind off the remaining stitches. Finish the other side of the neck-hole in symmetry.

Assembly

Make shoulder and side seams. Fasten neck-hole and armholes with 1 row of single crochets and 1 row of “shrimp stitch” using yellow yarn. Create a chain and sew it along the edges of armholes and neck-hole.
