Hi girls! Today, I would like to share with you two new patterns. The first one by me and the second one by my dear friend Pam @pomcloset on Instagram and YouTube. I have followed Pam on Instagram for the past couple years and have always loved her designs. I’m sure you’ll love her designs too. Please subscribe to her YouTube channel to see the second pattern. You can find the link below the video. So, let’s go back to my pattern.

Size: S-M, height –37 cm, width — 43 cm, sleeve —15 cm
MAIN PATTERN:
Measure the fullest part of your chest and divide it into two. Crochet an example and measure it. Chain a multiple of 8+6 according to your measurement (divided into two) and the example. I added one rapport more to make the top a little wider.
My measurement – 90 cm or 36 in
90 cm / 2 = 45 cm
Example – 19 cm or 7 1/2 in (24+6 chains)
24 chains x 2 = 48 chains + 1 rapport (8 chains) + 6 chains = 62 chains
Row 1: ch-62, dc in the 6th ch from the hook, * ch-1, skip next ch, dc in next ch **, repeat from * to ** to the end of the row
Row 2: ch-4, turn, * skip next ch-1 space, dc in next 7 sts (across 4 dc and 3 ch-1 spaces), ch-1 **, rep from * to ** to the end of the row, in the end of the row ch-1, skip next ch, dc in next ch
Row 3: ch-4, turn, * dc in next 3 dc, popcorn st in next dc, dc in next 3 dc, ch-1 **, rep from * to **, to the end of the row, in the end of the row ch-1, skip next ch, dc in next ch
Row 4: ch-4, turn, * dc in next 3 dc, dc in the top of popcorn st, dc in next 3 dc, ch-1 **, rep from * to ** to the end of the row, in the end of the row ch-1, skip next ch, dc in next ch
!Row 5: ch-4, turn, * (dc in next dc, ch-1, skip next dc) rep 3 times **, rep from * to ** to the end of the row, in the end of the row ch-1, skip next ch, dc in next ch
Rep Row 2-5 5 times or more. Finish with 4th row.
For convenience, I give the name of each popcorn stitch and dc’s around it. I will call it a square
Start forming a collar from the 5th row. I divided the number of squares this way: 3 squares go to the left and to the right parts, 2 squares go to the collar (we don’t crochet across this part).
Rep the main pattern from the 5th row. In this row, you should crochet 11 ch-1 spaces. Then rep the main pattern Rows 2-5 once, and finish the side with the 2nd Row.
After that skip 2 squares. Then skip 2 dc of the 3rd square and start crocheting the main pattern from the 5th Row. In this row, you should get 11 ch-1 spaces. Then rep the main pattern Rows 2-5 once, and finish the side with the 2nd Row.
The front part is done. Make the back part in the same way. Fold the right sides facing each other and join the shoulders and sides by sl sts. Crochet sl sts across 4 squares of each side. Leave 3 squares for the armhole.
SLEEVES
Make a row of sc around the armhole, in the end of the row join with sl st to the 1st sc. The number of stitches must be a multiple of 8. I crocheted 48 sc. Then repeat Row 2-5 twice of the main pattern but work in turning rounds. When you crochet turning rounds, you have to join with a sl st at the end of each row and turn the work.
NOTE: the rounds with popcorn stitches must be on the right side
Round 2: ch-4, turn, * skip next sc, dc in next 7 sc, ch-1 **, rep from * to ** to the end of the round, at the end of the round dc in the last 6 sc, join with sl st to top of ch-3
Round 3: ch-3, turn, dc in next 2 dc, popcorn st in next dc, dc in next 3 dc, ch-1, * dc in next 3 dc, popcorn st in next dc, dc in next 3 dc, ch-1 **, rep from * to **, to the end of the round, at the end of the round join with sl st to top of ch-3
Round 4: ch-4, turn, * dc in next 3 dc, dc in the top of popcorn st, dc in next 3 dc, ch-1 **, rep from * to ** to the end of the round, at the end of the round dc in the last 6 sts, join with sl st to top of ch-3
Round 5: ch-4, turn, (skip next dc, dc in next dc, ch-1) rep twice, * (dc in next dc, skip next dc, ch-1) rep 3 times **, rep from * to ** to the end of the round, at the end of the join with sl st to top of ch-3
Round 6: ch-4, turn, * skip next ch-1 space, dc in next 7 sts (across 4 dc and 3 ch-1 spaces), ch-1 **, rep from * to ** to the end of the round, at the end of the round dc in the last 6 sts, join with sl st to top of ch-3
Rep Rounds 3, 4 and 5
CUFFS, COLLAR AND BOTTOM
Cuffs, collar and bottom are the same pattern
Round 1: ch-1, sc in same place, sc in next st, * sc2tog in next 2 st, sc in next 2 sts **, rep from * to ** to the end of the round, join with sl st to the 1st sc
Round 2: ch-3, dc in each sc around, join with sl st to top of ch-3
Round 3: ch-2, * fpdc in next dc, bpdc in next dc **, rep from * to ** to the end of the round, join with sl st to top of ch-2
Round 4: ch-2, * fpdc in next fpdc, bpdc in next bpdc **, rep from * to ** to the end of the round, join with sl st to top of ch-2
Round 5: ch-1, sc in same place, sc in each st to the end of the round, join with sl st to the 1st sc
