PATTERN NOTES
1) Before you start take a measurement, I would recommend to determine the width of your sweater. If you want to have your sweater wider, make a longer foundation chain at the beginning of front / back panel. If you want to have your sweater narrower, make a shorter foundation chain at the beginning of front / back panel.
2) This pattern is for M woman size, but you can easily adapt to a smaller size or bigger size just by reducing or increasing the number of chains and rows for the Sweater and as well as making less or more chains in the basic chain.
3) A ch3 at beg of the row COUNTS as a double crochet.
4) A ch1 at beg of the row DOESN'T COUNT as a stitch.
5) The Sweater has these parts:
A) front panel - bottom part
B) front panel - topper part with straps
length: 50 cm / width 39 cm
back panel
length: 50 cm / width 39 cm
*Measurements are taken from the garment lying flat, before the yarn has stretched out/dropped.
