Step by Step Instructions

Step 1

YOKE (START): Chain 152, close in a circle with sl st, and begin the yoke following the chart (19 repeats). Work the 7th round and then 3 additional rounds only in the center front, following the chart. Continue crocheting in the round until the separation point.

Step 2

SEPARATION AND PANELS: Separate the stitches (6 repeats for each sleeve, 16 for the front, 15 for the back). Work the Front (48 reps) in back-and-forth rows in pattern stitch until 10 cm. Work the Back (47 reps) in rows until reaching the same height.

Step 3

BODY (JOINING AND DECREASES): Join the front and back and continue in the round. Increase 1 repeat between the two parts. Decrease every 2 rows (6 times total, 3 dec per side) towards the armhole side, spaced every 4 rows.

Step 4

BODY (INCREASES AND END): After finishing the decreases, increase every 2 rows (6 times, 3 inc per side) in the same direction as the dec, spaced every 4 rows. At 24 cm from the armhole, crochet 1 round in sc and fasten off the body.

Step 5

SLEEVES: Work directly onto the armhole. Crochet in pattern stitch (6 repeats) on the 2 central rounds. Increase 1 repeat on each side every round (5 times). Close each round with sl st. Fasten off upon completing the increases.

Step 6

FINAL FINISHING: Crochet 1 round of single crochet (sc) around each armhole and fasten off. Crochet 4 rounds of single crochet (sc) around the neckline and fasten off. Weave in all loose ends.
