CROCHET PROJECT

It’s a sweater a lot easier than it looks. We are going to be making 2 scarves and fold them in half, make a central seam in front and in back piece leaving a long part free for neckline in V shape and we are going to be sewing the sides together from the bottom up to armhole point.

CROCHET PATTERN

 We are going to me making a rectangle scarf (make 2)

The foundation chain for this pattern should be a base of 15 chains and then add 10 chains every time. So the right number of chains for this lacy pattern is 15, 25, 35, 45, 55, 65, 75…..and so on

 Sewing

-Place pieces flat in parallel position, keep in mind to put them side to side having the starting rows side by side , this way you will have clusters in the same direction in both pieces,see photo below.

-Fold each piece in half so that the length is folded

Sewing

-Place pieces flat in parallel position, keep in mind to put them side to side having the starting rows side by side , this way you will have clusters in the same direction in both pieces,see photo below.

-Fold each piece in half so that the length is folded

Mark the middle point of the length of each piece.

Open the upper part in a way that you create  a V shape neckline opening. At this point you can mark the 2 pieces together and try it on so you see clearly how open you want your neckline to be.It will be the same opening in both front and back part.

Sew the central seam in the front part and in the back part, up to a point so you leave unsewn an opening as follows

*after having seamed both  front and then back seam  and before sewing the sides you will have 2 scarves with an opening in the middle as big as the total front and back neckline opening

1:   for sizes S, M, L= 8” (21cm ) for front and the same for the back part

2: for sizes, XL, 2X/3XL: 9” (23cm) for front and the same for the back part

Sew up the sides and leave an opening from shoulder to armhole point,( so its half the total armhole perimeter)for Sizes:

Small, Medium    7.87”   (20cm)

L /XL                   8.6”     (22cm)

2XL/3XL             10.23” (26cm)

Tie off and weave in ends.
