HOW TO MAKE THE SET WITH AN OPENWORK BLOUSE?

SIZE: M Everything is made with crochet, except the hem and the neck opening finish.

CROCHET TOP PATTERN

Front Cast on 100 sts and with knitting needles, work 18 rows of 1x1 rib stitch. Bind off all sts. On this strip and with the crochet hook, work: 1 dc, 2 ch, 9 dc, 2 ch, 1 dc. Continue to the end of the strip, making 9 groups of 9 sts. In the following rows, for the 9 sts, decrease 2 sts in each row. And for the single stitch, increase 2 sts. In this way, one rhombus is increased, and the adjacent one is created (see photos). At 36 cm from the beginning, create the neck opening. First, leave the 21 central sts unworked, then leave 3 sts, and then in all subsequent rows, leave 2 sts until the shoulder is 13 cm wide. From the beginning to the shoulder, it measures 50 cm. The shoulder finishes straight. Back Work everything the same as the front, but the neck begins at 42 cm. Leave 21 central sts, then 4 sts, 3 sts, then 1 by 1 until the shoulder is the same size as the front.

*ASSEMBLY AND FINISHING

The neckband is made in two parts and then sewn to the shoulders. Pick up the necessary stitches and work 7 rows of garter stitch. Sew the sides and shoulders.  Leave 27 cm for the armholes.

CROCHET PANTS PATTERN

Make 2 identical pieces. On the knitting needles, cast on 116 sts and work 22 rows of 1x1 rib stitch. Bind off all sts. We have a strip, and with the crochet hook, pick up 106 double crochets. At 25 cm (approx. 30 rows), start increasing 1 st in each row on both sides (8 rows). In the next 2 rows, increase 6 sts at once, twice, for a total of 12 sts on each side. With the stitches we have, work 12 rows.

*ASSEMBLY AND FINISHING

First, sew the small seams of the legs and then join the 2 pieces with a seam from the waist at the back. Fold the elastic stitch at the waist and insert the white elastic. It is recommended to baste and try on in case any adjustments are needed.
