SPECIAL STS
Dc in BLO= double
crochet in back loops only
If you turn your work towards you, you can see that in every dc st there
are two loops. The closest one to you is the front loop while the other
loop is the back loop.
Yarn over and insert your hook into the back loop
only of the dc of prev row.
Continue making your
double crochet as normal. Do the same in the next stitch and in each
one across your row.
If you look on the other side of your row, you will see a
little ridge to your work.
CROCHET PROJECT
-We crochet 2 panels, one for front and one (exactly the same) for the
back
We sew up the side seams, until armhole point for each size.
- We attach yarn in front piece, once to the left side for the left
strap and once to the right side for the right strap, to crochet the straps. We
crochet the straps to indicated length for every size
- We sew the straps at back piece
Tips for the pattern
-This pattern is a repeat of 4 rows
3 rows of dc and 1 row of dc, ch1.skip 1 st, this row creates holes in
the garment.
As we want a pattern loose, comfortable and wide in A shape, we are
increasing in 14 rows in sizes Small and Medium and in 15 rows in sizes Large,
XLarge, always the same way. That is to make 2dc in one st and in between
increases the number of dc increases by one from one increase row to the other
, so for example in one row, we crochet 4dc and an increase. In next increase
row, we crochet, 5 dc and an increase. To help you understand the pattern, I
made a sketch for every size , I drawed clearly all rows, I indicate which are
the increase rows and I write down the number of dc worked in every row and the pattern repetition , for
example 4+2 dc, 5+2 dc, 6+2 dc……

SEWING
Arrange the
front panel on to the back panel, right
sides facing you
Then you will
get your yarn needle and a long piece of yarn to sew.
You may wish to
pin the pieces together so they don’t move around..
You will sew up
the side seams, not from the very bottom edge. Leave an opening ( this is
optional) of 4,70 inches (12cm) to the
bottom and sew until the addition point of row 7 for sizes Small and Medium and
until the addition of row 8 for sizes Large , XLarge , this is the armhole
bottom point.
Fasten off , weave in ends
