Pattern instructions

in cm. For conversion from inches to cm - click here. There are different terms for
crocheting in American and British English. If this pattern includes crochet, click for
"crochet terms" here. For this pattern in British English, please click here.

PATTERN: 
See diagrams A.1 to A.7. 
A.1 shows beginning and end of every round, work A.2 5 times in total on round.
A.3 shows beginning and end of every round, work A.4 12 times in total on round.
Work A.5/A.6/A.7 in the round - A.x shows beginning and end of every round.

CROCHET INFO:
Replace first double crochet at beginning of round with 3 chain stitches, finish with
1 slip stitch in 3rd chain stitch at beginning of round. 

CROCHET TIP (applies to sleeve):

After last single crochet on round work 6 chain stitches and continue on to next
round with 1 single crochet around next chain space (= first chain space on next
round). NOTE: Mark beginning of round with 1 marker thread between last chain
stitch and first single crochet on next round, move the marker thread upwards.
NOTE: BE CAREFUL NOT TO DISPLACE THE MARKER THREAD.

DECREASE TIP: 
Work 1 single crochet around next chain space but wait with last pull through, work
next single crochet around next chain space (do not work 6 chain stitches between
single crochets), on last pull through, pull yarn through all 3 loops on hook.

JACKET WORKED IN A CIRCLE:

Chain 5 on hook size 4.5 mm/US 7 with Paris and form a ring with 1 slip stitch in
first chain stitch.
Then work as follows: Work A.1 (the middle of A.1 shows beginning and end of
every round, i.e. work from middle of A.1), A.2 5 times in total, finish with the
other half of A.1. REMEMBER THE CROCHET GAUGE!
When A.1/A.2 have been worked vertically, there are 156-156-156 double crochet
on last round. Piece measures approx. 30 cm / 11 3/4'' in diameter.

Then work as follows: Work A.3 (the middle of A.3 shows beginning and end of
every round, i.e. work from middle of A.3), A.4 12 times in total, finish with the
other half of A.3 - AT THE SAME TIME on last round increase 7 double crochet
evenly (increase by working 2 double crochet in same double crochet) = 202
double crochet on round. When A.3/A.4 have been worked vertically, piece
measures approx. 40 cm / 15 3/4'' in diameter. Work 1 slip stitch in each of the
first 2 double crochet, next round begin from here (i.e. mid back of neck). Now

ROUND 1 (no increase): = 114-114-127 chain spaces.
ROUND 2 (no increase): = 114-114-127 chain spaces.
ROUND 3: Increase 20-20-20 chain spaces evenly (increase by working 1 double
crochet, 2 chain stitches, 1 double crochet and 2 chain stitches around same chain

Repeat 2nd round in A.7 AT THE SAME TIME increase as follows:
ROUND 6: Increase 6-6 chain spaces evenly (increase by working 1 single crochet,
6 chain stitches, 1 single crochet and 2 chain stitches around same chain space = 1
chain space increased) = 145-158 chain spaces.
ROUND 7 (no increase): = 145-158 chain spaces.
ROUND 8: Increase 5-6 chain spaces evenly = 150-164 chain spaces.
ROUND 9 (no increase): = 150-164 chain spaces. Cut the yarn.

bottom of back. Continue with explanation under left front piece.

LEFT FRONT PIECE:

= 39-42-45 chain spaces. Continue back and forth as follows:
ROW 1: Work slip stitches until middle of the first chain space, 1 single crochet, *
work 6 chain stitches, 1 single crochet around next chain space *, repeat from *-*
and finish with 1 single crochet around last chain space = 38-41-44 chain spaces.
Repeat 1st row 3-3-7 more times. 35-38-37 chain spaces remain at the edge of
front piece. Cut the yarn.

RIGHT FRONT PIECE:

Work same way as on left front piece over 39-42-45 chain spaces in the right side.
Cut the yarn.

(= 102-118-126 cm / 40"-46 ½"-49½" in diameter in height), and approx. 58-66-
77 cm / 22 3/4"-26"-30½" from middle out to the side (= 116-132-154 cm / 45

SLEEVE:
Worked in the round from armhole and down, begin mid under sleeve (= 64-70-76
double crochet on armhole).
ROUND 1: READ CROCHET TIP! Work * 1 single crochet in double crochet, 6 chain
stitches, skip approx. 4 double crochet *, repeat from *-* around entire armhole,
there should be 15-18-21 chain spaces around armhole.
Continue to work 6 chain stitches and 1 single crochet around every chain space.
When piece measures 4 cm / 1½'', decrease 1 chain space before marker thread -
READ DECREASE TIP! Repeat decrease alternately on each side of marker thread
every 4 cm / 1½'' 4-5-6 more times = 10-12-14 chain spaces. 
When piece measures 38-39-40 cm / 15"-15 1/4"-15 3/4", work next round as

48-56 double crochet. Sleeve measures approx. 39-40-41 cm / 15 1/4"-15 3/4"-16
1/8". Fasten off.
