Pattern = Rows 3 – 7

Front and Back – 67 loops mark on both sides.
Shoulders – 17 loops mark on both sides

Continue to work the front and the back part.

Front
Rows 1 – 8: Add 8 more stitches. Total 75 stitches (67 + 8 = 75)

Back
Rows 1 – 14: Add 6 more stitches. Total 73 stitches (67 + 6 = 73)

Connect the front and back part with 10 chains on the both sides. Now we have a total of 168 stitches (the front part 85 (67 + 8 + 10) and the back part 83 (67 + 6 + 10). Now we continue to work in a circle. We’ll make 9 rows. In the next row (tenth row) we add 40 more stitches and now we have a total of 208 double crochet stitches (168 + 40 = 208)
Then repeat pattern 4 times. Last two rows we do like rows 3 and 4 of pattern.
