EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN:

-------------------------------------------------------

CROCHET-TIP FOR 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 single/double crochet is wide.

CROCHET INFORMATION:
When working back and forth:
Each row of single crochets starts with 1 chain stitch (does not replace the first
single crochet but is in addition).
Each row of double crochets starts with 3 chain stitches (replaces the first double
crochet).
When working in the round:
Each round of single crochets starts with 1 chain stitch (replaces the first single
crochet) and finishes with 1 slip stitch in the first chain stitch at the beginning of the
round.
Each round of double crochets starts with 3 chain stitches (replaces the first double
crochet) and finishes with 1 slip stitch in the 3rd chain stitch at the beginning of the
round.

PATTERN:
See diagrams A.1 and A.2. Choose diagram for your size. All rows of double crochets
are worked from the right side.

INCREASE TIP (for sides of body):

Adjust so the next row is a row of double crochets (i.e. from the right side). Work as
before until there are 3 chain stitches and 3 single crochets left before the marker
thread, work 3 double crochets around the next chain stitch, work as before until you
have worked 2 double crochets around each of the 2 chain stitches after the marker
thread, work 3 double crochets around the next chain stitch = 2 double crochets
increased at the marker thread. Repeat at the other marker thread (=4 double
crochets increased on the row). Continue the pattern as before; for each increase-
row, A.1c is repeated 2 more times in width on the row.

DECREASE TIP-1 (for sides of body):

Adjust so the next row is a row of double crochets (i.e. from the right side). Work as
before until there are 3 chain stitches and 3 single crochets left before the marker
thread, * work 1 double crochet around the next chain stitch, but wait with the last
pull through, work 1 more double crochet around the same chain stitch and on the
final pull-through, pull through all loops on the hook (= 1 double crochet decreased)
*, work as before until you have worked 2 double crochets in each of the first 2 chain
stitches after the marker thread, work from *-* around the next chain stitch (i.e. on
the other side of the marker thread) = 2 double crochets decreased at the marker
thread. Repeat at the other marker thread (= a total of 4 double crochets decreased
on the row). Continue the pattern; each time you decrease, A.1c is repeated 2 times
less in width on the row.

DECREASE TIP-2 (for sleeves):

Adjust so the next round is a round of double crochets. * Work 1 double crochet
around the first/next chain stitch, but wait with the last pull-through, work 1 more
double crochet around the same chain stitch, and on the last pull-through, pull
through all loops on the hook (= 1 double crochet decreased) *, work from *-*
around the next chain stitch = 2 double crochets decreased. Each time you decrease,
A.1c is repeated 1 time less in width.
Decrease alternately at the beginning and end of the round (i.e. when decreasing at
the end, work as before until there are 2 chain stitches left on the round).

NECK:
Work 96-98-102-108-110-116 chain stitches (including 3 chain stitches to turn) –
read CROCHET-TIP FOR CHAIN STITCH, using hook size 4.5 mm = US 7 and
Karisma.
Work 1 double crochet in the 4th chain stitch from the hook – read CROCHET
INFORMATION, then work 1 double crochet in every chain stitch = 94-96-100-106-
108-114 double crochets. Insert 1 marker after the first 5 stitches on the row; the
yoke is measured from this marker.

Continue this pattern back and forth, repeating the last 2 rows in A.1a to A.1d in
height and increasing as shown in A.2 – AT THE SAME TIME increase as described
below:

Work 3rd row in the pattern from the right side, AT THE SAME TIME as you increase
as follows:
Work A.1a over the first 5 double crochets (= band), A.1b over the next 2 stitches,

next 2 double crochets and finish with A.1a over the last 5 double crochets (= band).

Work 5th row in the pattern from the right side, AT THE SAME TIME as you increase
evenly as follows: Work A.1a over the first 5 double crochets (= band), A.1b over the
next 2 stitches, A.1c over the next 8-10-12-14-14-16 stitches and increase 0-0-0-0-

crochets (= band) = 126-148-158-172-170-186 double crochets (including the
increases in A.2).

Continue this pattern and the increases in A.2. When the last row in A.2 remains, the
piece measures approx. 18-18-19-19-21-21 cm = 7"-7"-7 1/2"-7 1/2"-8 1/4"-8 1/4"
from the marker on the neck and there are 222-244-270-284-314-330 double

the last 5 double crochets (= band) = 146-156-170-184-206-226 double crochets.

Body and sleeves are finished separately. THE PIECE IS NOW MEASURED FROM
HERE!

BODY:
= 146-156-170-184-206-226 double crochets. Allow the marker threads to follow
your work onwards; they will be used when decreasing and increasing in the sides.
First row is worked as follows from the wrong side: Work A.1a over the first 5 double
crochets (= band), A.1d over the next 2 double crochets as before, repeat A.1c over
the next 132-142-156-170-192-212 double crochets, A.1b over the next 2 double
crochets and finish with A.1a over the last 5 double crochets (= band). Continue this
pattern back and forth.

When the piece measures 4 cm = 1 1/2" from the division, decrease 2 double
crochets at both marker threads – read DECREASE TIP-1! Decrease like this every
3½-4-4½-5-5-5½ cm = 1 1/4"-1 1/2"-1 5/8"-2"-2"-2 1/8" a total of 3 times = 134-
144-158-172-194-214 double crochets.

When the piece measures 14-16-17-18-18-19 cm = 5 1/2"-6 1/4"-6 3/4"-7"-7"-7

1/2" from the division, increase 2 double crochets at both marker threads – read
INCREASE TIP! Increase like this every 2½ cm = 1” a total of 6 times = 158-168-
182-196-218-238 double crochets.
Continue working until the body measures 35-37-37-38-38-40 cm = 13 3/4"-14
1/2"-14 1/2"-15"-15"-15 3/4" from the division, or to desired length – finish after a
row of double crochets. Cut and fasten the strand. The jacket measures approx. 58-
60-62-64-66-68 cm = 22 3/4"-23 5/8"-24 3/8"-25 1/4"-26"-26 3/4" from the
shoulder down.

SLEEVE:
= 46-52-58-60-64-64 double crochets + 8-8-8-10-10-12 chain stitches under the
sleeve.
Start mid under the sleeve as follows: Work 1 single crochet in the 5th-5th-5th-6th-
6th-7th chain stitch under the sleeve, then 1 chain stitch (= 1 single crochet), 1
single crochet in each of the next 3-3-3-4-4-5 chain stitches, A.1c (i.e. 1 round of
single crochets and chain stitches) over the next 46-52-58-60-64-64 double crochets
and finish with 1 single crochet in each of the remaining 4-4-4-5-5-6 chain stitches
under the sleeve = 54-60-66-70-74-76 stitches.
Insert 1 marker at the beginning of the round – in the middle of the 8-8-8-10-10-12
stitches under the sleeve.
Work A.1c in the round. When the sleeve measures 2 cm = 3/4" from the division,
decrease 2 double crochets under the sleeve – read DECREASE TIP-2. Decrease like
this every 3-2½-2-2-2-2 cm = 1 1/8"-1”-3/4"-3/4"-3/4"-3/4" a total of 11-13-15-
17-18-18 times = 32-34-36-36-38-40 stitches.
Continue working until the sleeve measures 41-42-42-44-43-45 cm = 16 1/8"-16
1/2"-16 1/2"-17 1/4"-17"-17 3/4" from the division, or to desired length – finish

after a round of double crochets. Cut and fasten the strand. Work the other sleeve in
the same way.

ASSEMBLY:
Sew the buttons onto the left band. The top button is sewn in the transition between
the neck and the yoke. The other 5-5-5-6-6-6 buttons are sewn with 8 cm = 3 1/8"
between each one. The buttons are buttoned between the 3rd and 4th double
crochet on the right band.
