Row 1: 1 dc in the 4th ch from the hook and in each ch to the end of the row = 89 dc, 3 ch, turn.
Row 2: 1 dc in the next dc, *(1 ch, skip 1 dc, 1 dc in the next 2 dc) – 2 times, (1 ch, skip 1 dc, 1 dc in the next dc) – 6 times, repeat from * 3 times, resulting in 11 stitches.
Row 3 (right side): 3 ch (counts as the first dc), * 2 dc, 1 ch, skip 1 dc, 2 dc; repeat from * 4 times, (1 ch, skip 1 dc, 2 dc) – 6 times; repeat pattern 2–8 (item) from * a total of 4 times; resulting = each stitch to the end: 105 dc.

Row 12: 3 ch, * 2 dc, 1 ch, 2 dc in the next arch; repeat from * to the end of the row = 30 arches.
Row 13: 3 ch, 2 dc in the arch, *(2 ch, 3 dc in the arch) – repeat from * to the end = 30 shells.
Row 14: 3 ch, * 1 dc in each dc (total 3 dc), 2 dc in the arch; repeat from * to the end = 150 dc.
Row 15: 3 ch, 1 dc in the next 3 dc., *(2 dc in the arch, 5 dc in the next 5 dc); repeat from * to the end = 180 dc.

• The main pattern starts with expanding "fans", alternating with single double crochets.

• From row 13 to 22 the pattern is repeated (noted: «repeat rows 4–8»).

• From row 23 to 31 – this is the finishing, including arches and the last row with "picot" (or similar finishing).

Sleeve diagram:

• Rows from 1 to 10.

• It is noted that rows 5–9 repeat rows 1–4.

• Finished with a connecting row on the edge (possibly a finishing or decorative edge).

Explanation under the diagram:

• Thread a ribbon 65 cm long through the row with "windows" on the yoke, hide the ends on the inside.

• Thread a ribbon 118 cm long through the row with "windows" on the skirt, tie a bow in front.

• Thread a ribbon 55 cm long through the row with "windows" on the sleeves, tie a bow on top.
