Picot pattern: 28.5 sts x 7.75 rows = 10 x 10 cm.
Instructions
At first, make 92 chain sts + 3 chain sts increase and work with the main pattern with dark-brown yarn for the left front. In 53 cm from the set-up row, shoulder line is reached; in 59 cm from the set-up row, leave your work. Make the right front in the same way. Then, for the back, work on both details as one-piece cloth; for this, make the same sts together in the 1st row. In 47 cm from the connection of work or in 106 cm from the set-up row, finish your work.
For the back picot border, make 201 chain sts with orange yarn. For the front picot borders, make 101 chain sts + 3 chain sts increase and work with the picot pattern. In 15.5 cm = 12 rows from the set-up row, continue work with orange-coral yarn. In 31 cm = 24 rows from the set-up row, finish your work.
Assembly
Sew the picot border with the tops of the set-up row to the lower edges of the front and back. For the strap, make 3 chain sts + 3 chain sts increase and work with double crochets; start every row with 3 chain sts instead of the 1st double crochet. Finish your work in 180 cm.
