Row12: Repeat of the Row4. Starting st is the middle of the back side of the top. We seperate the arms after two sets of crochets. Skip 3 sets for the first sleeve.And make chains for body.Join this chains with a dc.Next row(Row13) repeat of the row3; we have 18dc in each set. So we make (18*2)+2=38 chains. If you have more st,you can make your chains by taking the advantage of this formula.Then crochet 4 sets for the front side. Then skip 3 sets for the 2nd sleeve and make 38 chains. Join this chains with a dc. Crochet two sets and finish this row.
Row13:Repeat of the Row3. Crochet two sets on the back side and come to the chains part. Skip 2 chains and start from the 3th st and make a dc of 18 st + make 1dc more in the last 18th st+ch3+2dc in the next st+1dc of 16st+skip 2ch+make 2dc in ch1 sp+make 2dc in the next ch1 sp+and keep crocheting in the same way.
Row14: Repeat of the Row4. When you come to under the arm part, you will skip 2st and start from the 3th st and make *(a dc+ch1+skip 1st)** and make the same pattern.at the end of the row, sl st to the 3th ch of the first Ch4.
Row15: Ch4+skip 2sp+*(starting from the 3th sp and make 2dc+2dc in the next +2dc+2dc+2dc+2dc+2dc+2dc+2dc+Ch3+2dc in the same sp+2dc+2dc+2dc+2dc+2dc+2dc+2dc+2dc+skip 5sp)** We don’t want to increase any more so we skip 5sp. We want to protect 18dc for the large size. If you make it more bigger or more smaller you can protect your own dc number. At the end of the row join with the first st then sl st to the 2nd st.
Row16:Ch4+*(skip1st+dc+ch1)**keep repeating until come to the corner. When you come to the corner; (dc+ch1+dc+ch3+dc+ch1+dc) in the ch3 sp. After corner; *(ch1+dc+skip1)** when you finish the dc part skip only 2 st and keep crocheting the other side’s dc part.
