Instructions

Back and Left Front:

Make 23 (25) 27 chain stitches + 3 chain stitches increase and work with the main pattern = 24 (26) 28 double crochets. In 4.5 cm = 3 rows from the set-up row, make 20 (22) 24 chain stitches from the right side for right arm-hole and work with the main pattern on all the stitches = 44 (48) 52 double crochets. In 24.5 cm = 16 rows (27.5 cm = 18 rows) 30.5 cm = 20 rows from the set-up row, the center of back is reached. In 44.5 cm = 29 rows (50.5 cm = 33 rows) 56.5 cm = 37 rows from the set-up row, leave 20 (22) 24 double crochets from the right side for left arm-hole = 24 (26) 28 double crochets. In 49 cm = 32 rows (55 cm = 36 rows) 61 cm = 40 rows from the set-up row, left side line is reached. After that, make left front, in 4.5 cm = 3 rows from left side line, make arm-hole in the same way as the first arm-hole on back = 44 (48) 52 double crochets. In 15.5 cm = 10 rows (18.5 cm = 12 rows) 21.5 cm = 14 rows from left side line, decrease 9 (11) 13 double crochets from the right side for neck-hole and 1 x 6 stitches, 6 x 4 stitches in every row. In 27.5 cm = 18 rows (30.5 cm = 20 rows) 33.5 cm = 22 rows from left side line, finish your work.

Right Front:

Work with the main pattern along the set-up row of back, make 24 (26) 28 double crochets in the 1^st row. Make right front in symmetry to the left front.

Sleeves:

Make shoulder seams; work with circle rows of main pattern along each arm-hole, make 4 pattern repeats along horizontal edges, and 10 (11) 12 pattern repeats along vertical edges. In 3 cm = 2 rows from the beginning of the sleeve, fasten 4 pattern repeats of the horizontal edge with single crochets, and continue work with the main pattern along vertical edges. In 4.5 cm = 3 rows from the beginning of the sleeve, leave patterns from horizontal edges for chamfers + 1 pattern repeat from vertical edges. Then, work with the rest 18 (20) 22 pattern repeats with straight and reversed rows in the following way: 1 row of main pattern, 1 chain stitch increase, fasten the first 2 pattern repeats with single crochets, work with the main pattern on the next 14 (16) 18 pattern repeats, fasten the last 2 pattern repeats with single crochets, 1 chain stitch increase. For the last row, make slip stitches above single crochets of the previous row, then work upon the next 14 (16) 18 pattern repeats in the following way: * 1 single crochet between 2 double crochets of the next pattern repeat, 3 double crochets together + 3 chain stitches + 3 double crochets together between double crochets of the next pattern repeat*; repeat from * to *, 1 single crochet in the next 2^nd single crochets of the previous row. In 9 cm = 6 rows from the beginning of sleeve, finish your work.

Assembly:

Make 1 row of the main pattern along the lower edge in the following way: join yarn to the corner of the right front, 3 chain stitches, skip 1 (0) 0 edging double crochet, double crochets, * 1 pattern repeat, skip 2 edging double crochets*; repeat from * to *, 1 pattern repeat, skip 1 (0) 0 edging double crochet, 1 final double crochet in the corner of the left front = 22 (26) 28 pattern repeats + initial and final double crochets. After that, work with the relief pattern. In 11 cm = 5 rows from the beginning of the placket, finish your work. Fasten short edges of the placket, front, and neck-hole with 1 row of “shrimp stitch”.
