------------------------------------------------------- EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN: ------------------------------------------------------- CHAIN STITCH: If you work outermost on the hook the chain stitch will often be too tight; 1 chain stitch should be as long as 1 double/treble crochet is wide. CROCHET INFORMATION: Each row starts with 1 chain stitch, which does not replace the first stitch. PATTERN: See diagrams A.1 to A.7. MEASURING TIP: All measurements should be taken while holding the piece up as the garment will stretch when worn. ------------------------------------------------------- START THE PIECE HERE: ------------------------------------------------------- JUMPER – SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE: The back, front and sleeves are worked separately, back and forth and bottom up. The piece is assembled and the neck worked to finish. BACK PIECE: Work 102-122-122-142-142-162 CHAIN STITCHES – read description above, with hook size 4 mm and DROPS Belle. Work 1 double crochet in the 2nd chain stitch from the hook, then 1 double crochet in each chain stitch = 101-121-121-141-141-161 double crochets + 1 chain stitch – read CROCHET INFORMATION. Work the next row as follows from the right side: Work A.1 over the first 11 double crochets, A.2 8-10-10-12-12-14 times, A.3 over the last 10 double crochets. Continue this pattern back and forth. REMEMBER THE CROCHET TENSION! When the first 2 rows (A) in A.1/A.2/A.3 are finished, work the 4 rows (B) 4 times in height then 4 rows (C) 1 time. This pattern is now finished and the piece measures approx. 18 cm from the cast-on edge. Work the next row as follows from the right side: Work A.4, A.5 5-6-6-7-7-8 times (make sure the pattern matches the stitches below), A.6. Continue this pattern back and forth. When the piece measures 28-30-30-32-31-33 cm – read MEASURING TIP, and you are on a row of only chain-spaces and double crochets, work the armholes on each side as follows: Cut the strand, turn, skip the first 3 chain-spaces (3 chain-spaces + 3 double crochets) (= 1/2 a repeat of A.5), work A.5 over the next 24-30-30-36-36-42 chain-spaces (start and finish the row with A.4/A.6 as before), do not work the last 3 chain-spaces on the row (= 1/2 repeat of A.5). Continue this pattern back and forth. When the piece measures 42-44-45-47-48-50 cm, work chain-spaces/double crochets back and forth as before over all stitches, without working bobbles. When the piece measures 45-47-49-51-53-55 cm and the next row is from the right side – remember MEASURING TIP, work the shoulders as follows: Work back and forth as before over the first 7-10-9-12-11-14 chain-spaces (start and finish the row with A.4/A.6 as before). Cut and fasten the strand when the piece measures 48-50-52-54-56-58 cm. Turn, start from the wrong side and work the other shoulder in the same way (do not work the middle 10-10-12-12-14-14 chain-spaces = neck). FRONT PIECE: Work in the same way as the back until the front piece measures 42-44-45-47-48-50 cm. Now work chain-spaces/double crochets back and forth over all stitches, without working bobbles. In addition, work the neck as follows: Start from the right side and work the first 10-13-12-15-14-17 chain-spaces as shown in A.7, turn and work back (A.7 only shows size S, but the decreases are the same in all sizes, work the correct number of chain-spaces for your size and follow A.7 for working the neck). You work 1 less chain-space at the end of every 2nd row 3 times as shown in A.7 = 7-10-9-12-11-14 chain-spaces on the shoulder. Work chain-spaces until the piece measures 48-50-52-54-56-58 cm. Cut and fasten the strand. Turn, start from the wrong side and work the other shoulder in the same way. SLEEVES: Work 82-82-82-82-102-102 chain stitches with hook size 4 mm and DROPS Belle. Work 1 double crochet in the 2nd chain stitch from the hook, then 1 double crochet in each chain stitch = 81-81-81-81-101-101 double crochets + 1 chain stitch. Work the next row as follows from the right side: Work A.1 over the first 11 stitches, A.2 6-6-6-6-8-8 times, A.3 over the last 10 stitches. Continue this pattern back and forth. When the first 2 rows (A) in A.1/A.2/A.3 are finished, work the 4 rows (B) 2 times in height then 4 rows (C) 1 time. This pattern is now finished and the piece measures approx. 11 cm from the cast-on edge. Work the next row as follows from the right side: Work A.4, A.5 4-4-4-4-5-5 times (make sure the pattern matches A.2), work A.6 = 24-24-24-24-30-30 chain-spaces. Continue this pattern back and forth. SIZES S, M, XXL and XXXL: When the piece measures 47-43-41-37 cm, work chain-spaces/double crochets back and forth over all stitches without working bobbles. Work until the sleeve measures 52-48-46-42 cm. Cut and fasten the strand. Work the other sleeve in the same way. SIZES L and XL: When the piece measures 14 cm, increase 1 chain-space on one side of the piece by working 1 chain-space + 1 double crochet extra in the first chain-space on the row. Repeat this increase in the last chain-space on the row when the sleeve measures 28 cm = 26-26 chain-spaces. When the piece measures 44-40 cm, work chain-spaces/double crochets back and forth over all stitches without working bobbles. Work until the sleeve measures 49-45 cm. Cut and fasten the strand. Work the other sleeve in the same way. ASSEMBLY: Lay the front and back pieces together, wrong side to wrong side and work one shoulder seam as follows: * 1 double crochet around the first/next chain-space on the front piece, 1 chain stitch, 1 double crochet around the first/next chain-space on the back piece, 1 chain stitch *, work from *-* along the shoulder, finish with 1 double crochet in the last stitch. Cut and fasten the strand. Work the other shoulder seam in the same way. Work the side seams as follows: 1 double crochet in the first stitch on the front piece, 2 chain stitches, 1 double crochet in the first stitch on the back piece, * 2 chain stitches, skip 1 cm, 1 double crochet around the next stitch on the front piece, 2 chain stitches, skip 1 cm, 1 double crochet around the next stitch on the back piece *, work from *-* along the side. Work the sleeve seams from the bottom as follows: 1 double crochet in the first stitch on one side of the sleeve, 2 chain stitches, 1 double crochet in the first stitch on the other side of the sleeve, * 2 chain stitches, skip 1 cm, 1 double crochet in the next stitch on one side of the sleeve, 2 chain stitches, skip 1 cm, 1 double crochet in the next stitch on the other side of the sleeve *, work from *-* until there is 5 cm left at the top of the sleeve. Cut and fasten the strand. Work the sleeve cap to the armhole as follows: * 1 double crochet around the first/next chain-space on front/back piece, 2 chain stitches, 1 double crochet around the first/next chain-space on sleeve cap, 2 chain stitches *, work from *-* around the armhole. Then work the split at the top of the sleeve to the bottom of the armhole – see sketch.
