Relief Pattern:

The quantity of sts is multiple of 4 + 1. Work according to the scheme. Start with sts before pattern repeat, pattern repeat, finish with sts after pattern repeat. Make *1^st-8^th rows x once, 3^rd-8^th rows x once*; repeat from * to *, paying attention to color changes.

Stitches Control:

Main pattern: 17.5 sts x 8.5 rows = 10 x 10 cm;

Relief pattern: 17.5 sts x 14.5 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

Instructions

Back

Make 77 (85) 93 chain sts + 3 chain sts increase with blue yarn and work with the relief pattern. In 15 cm = 22 rows from the set-up row, work with the main pattern with blue yarn. At the same time, skip 4 x 1 st in every 2^nd row from both sides from the pattern change = 69 (77) 85 sts. In 14 cm from the pattern change, increase 1 st from both sides and then 3 x 1 st in every 4^th row = 77 (85) 93 sts. In 28 cm = 24 rows from the pattern change, work with the relief pattern. In 9.5 (8.5) 7.5 cm from the last pattern change, skip 5 sts from both sides for armholes and bind off 1 x 3 sts and 2 x 1 st in every 2^nd row = 57 (65) 73 sts. For the neck-hole, bind off the central 27 sts in 22 cm from the last pattern change and finish both sides separately. For smooth rounding, bind off 3 x 2 sts in every 2^nd row from inwards. Finish your work on the rest 9 (13) 17 sts of shoulder, finishing in 28 cm from the last pattern change or in 71 cm from the set-up row.

Front

Make in the same way as the back, but with a deeper neck-hole. For this, in 11 cm from the last pattern change, bind off the central 21 sts and bind off 1 x 3 sts, 1 x 2 sts and 4 x 1 st in every 2^nd row.

Assembly

Make all the seams. Fasten the edges of the neck-hole and arm-holes with 1 circle row of single crochets and slip sts with blue yarn.
