ADVICE: A cord can be a simple chain as is the case in this pattern, but there are many other ways to make a cord. A cord can be made by twisting, braiding or using the technique of macramé.
STITCHES USED:
1. Chain (ch)
2. Single crochet (sc)
3. Half double crochet (hdc)
4. Double crochet (dc)
5. Slip stitch (sl st)
PATTERN STITCHES:
1. Picot: in the same st work: (1 sc, ch 3 and 1 dc), skip 2 sts
2. Fancy st: * 1 dc, ch 1, skip 1 st *; on following rows work the dc between the dc of the previous row.
GAUGE: 24 sts = 4"; 11 rows = 4"
DIRECTIONS:
PANTS (60 grs for the 2nd size)
Begin by top part of front.
Chain 78 (80-82) and work in dc. Work 4 rows even, then:
Shape crotch: at each edge, every row, leave unworked: 23 (24-25) sts (once); and 2 sts (4 times). Work 5 rows even on the remaining 16 sts then for back, at each edge, every row, increase 1 st (once); 2 sts (18 times); and 2 (3-4) sts (once). Work even on the 94 (96-98) sts thus obtained for 4 rows. Break yarn and fasten off.
Finishing: Make a border at top of front and back of pants by working 4 rows of Fancy st, 1 row of sc and 1 row of picot. Make a border around each leg edge by working 2 rows of sc. On wrong side of work join sides with 1 row of sc. Insert elastic thread at waist and leg edges.
BRA (30 grs for the 2nd size)
Right cup: Chain 35, and work in dc, working 2 dc in the center st on each row (8 times) -- 43 sts. At the same time at right edge, on Row 3, work 6 sc, 1 hdc, and work the other sts in dc, ending row with 1 hdc and 1 sc. Then work 5 rows leaving unworked at each edge, on first row: 6 sts, and beginning and ending each row with 3 sc and 1 hdc to shape the cup. Then work 1 row of dc on all the sts (even those left unworked at beg of row) -- thus on 43 sts. Continue in Fancy st leaving unworked at each edge: 3 sts (once); then on each row, 2 sts (9 times). Break yarn and fasten off.
Work left cup same as right cup but reversing shapings.
Finishing: Work 10 sc at left edge of right cup. Continue in sc, leaving unworked at right edge, on each row: 1 st (8 times). Break yarn and fasten off. Work a border on left cup same as right cup but reversing shapings. Work a border around top of each cup with 2 rows of sc and 1 row of picot. On wrong side of work join the two cups with 1 row of sc. At lower edge of bra, work 2 rows of sc. Make two 10" cords for the back and two 16" cords for neck tie strings.
