Description.

Attention! This item can be worn in three variations. The first - as a festive light jacket. Put both hands through the hole, one half of the circle will lie like a large collar on the shoulders, and the fronts will overlap and be secured with ties. The slit is located at the bottom of the back. The second option - as a festive elongated top. The slit is located at the front, and the ties are secured at the back of the neck. The third - as a light summer skirt. The slit is located on the side, and the waistband is secured with ties to the desired size.

The sizes of the item are indicated on the pattern. Making identical items in the style of Irish lace is practically impossible. Each master has their own tension of the yarn while working, their own imagination, different sizes of the model. Make a pattern piece according to your measurements from thick paper in actual size.

Using multicolored yarn according to diagrams 1-7, crochet as many elements as you plan to use. Arrange the elements on the pattern so that they fill the pattern field as you like. It can be dense - then it will be easier to fill the free space with the main pattern. In another variant (fewer elements), the fabric will be lighter and softer. Baste the elements to the paper.

Now connect the elements into a single piece with black yarn using a hook and the main pattern according to diagram 8. Crochet the mesh chaotically, as it lies between the elements. Don't forget to leave an opening at the top. Remove the finished piece from the pattern. Around the opening, crochet a border with black yarn with a height of 5 cm and using a double crochet pattern. Edge the slit with black yarn and 2 rows of single crochet. During work, at the level of the border on the sides of the slit, attach two ties 1 m long for fastening.
