Instructions
Back
With a 4.5 mm hook, make a chain of 97 (109) 121 ch + 3 ch for turning and work in filet pattern. The resulting decrease in width is shown on the schematic as a slant. After 31 cm from the foundation row, switch to a 4 mm hook.
After 63 cm from the foundation row (or once the desired length is reached), skip the first and last 12 (18) 24 sts for the armholes and the middle 47 sts for the neckline, and continue working on the remaining 13 sts between them for the straps, following the pattern.
When the straps measure approx. 11 cm = 12 rows, finish off.
Note! Check the strap length by trying the piece on and adjust if necessary.
Front
Work as for the back.
Sleeves
With a 4 mm hook, make a chain of 61 (67) 73 ch + 3 ch for turning for each sleeve and work in filet pattern, and for size 2, start and end with 3 additional dc sts.
After 7.5 cm = 8 rows from the foundation row, finish off.
Finishing
Sew the right side seam and the sleeve and strap seams. Work the border along the bottom edge with a 4.5 mm hook, working 193 (217) 241 sc in row 1.
For size 2, work 4 additional dc or sc sts on both sides.
Sew the left side seam.
Sew the sleeves in place, matching side seams and sleeve seams for a length of 2 cm on each side from the side seam.
