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

EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN:


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

INCREASE TIP (evenly spaced):


Increase 1 treble crochet by working 2 treble crochets in the same stitch.
To work out how to increase evenly, count the total number of stitches on the round (e.g. 69 stitches) and
divide by the number of increases to be made (e.g. 11) = 6.27.
In this example, increase by working 2 treble crochets in approx. every 6th stitch.

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 treble crochet is wide.

CROCHET INFORMATION-1 (round and round):


Work round and round without finishing each round. Insert 1 marker-thread at the beginning of the round
to show where it begins.
On round 2 work the first treble crochet in the 2nd chain stitch from the beginning of first round, then work
in all half treble crochets from 1st round as described in the text. This round is not finished in the usual
way, the first treble crochet in next round is worked in the first treble crochet from previous round. Then
continue round and round with 1 treble crochet in each treble crochet.
On the last round, at the bottom of the body and sleeves, work as follows to avoid a notch in the
transition: Work until there are 2 treble crochets left on the round, work 1 half-treble crochet in the next
treble crochet, 1 double crochet in the last treble crochet and finish with 1 slip stitch in the first treble
crochet at the beginning of the round.

CROCHET INFORMATION-2 (neck):


At the beginning of each round of treble crochets, work 3 chain stitches which replace the first treble
crochet. Finish the round with 1 slip stitch in the 3rd chain stitch at the beginning of the round.

DECREASE TIP (sleeves):


When working in the round, the beginning of the round will be displaced. Insert a marker-thread mid-under
the sleeve between 2 stitches and allow the thread to follow your work straight down – it will need to be
moved so it is kept in a straight line. Lay the sleeve flat to check that the thread is still mid-under the
sleeve each time you decrease. Decrease on each side of 2 treble crochets as follows: Work until there are
3 treble crochets left before the marker-thread, work 2 treble crochets together as follows:
* Make 1 yarn over, insert the hook through the next stitch, pick up the strand, make 1 yarn over and pull
it through the first 2 loops on the hook *, work from *-* 1 more time, make 1 yarn over and pull it through
all 3 loops on the hook (1 stitch decreased) *.
Work 1 treble crochet in each of the next 2 treble crochets (marker-thread sits between these stitches) and
repeat from *-* one more time.

ALL SIZES:
= 176-198-220-242-264-286 treble crochets.
Work 1 treble crochet in each treble crochet until the yoke measures 23-24-25-26-28-30 cm from the
marker.
Divide for the body and sleeves as follows:
Work 26-28-31-35-39-43 treble crochets, 1 half-treble crochet, skip 34-40-45-49-51-54 stitches for the
sleeve, work 11 chain stitches (= under sleeve), work 1 half-treble crochet, 52-57-63-70-79-87 treble
crochets, 1 half-treble crochet, skip 34-40-45-49-51-54 stitches for the sleeve, work 11 chain stitches (=
under sleeve), work 1 half-treble crochet, 26-29-32-35-40-44 treble crochets. Body and sleeves are
finished separately.

BODY:
= 130-140-152-166-184-200 stitches. Continue with 1 treble crochet in each stitch (on round 1 work 1
treble crochet in each chain stitch under the sleeves) until the body measures 35-36-37-38-38-38 cm from
the division - remember CROCHET INFORMATION-1 when working the last round. Cut and fasten the
strand. The piece measures approx. 62-64-66-68-70-72 cm from the shoulder down.

SLEEVES:
Work the 34-40-45-49-51-54 skipped stitches on one side as follows: Fasten the strand with 1 double
crochet in the 6th of the 11 chain stitches under the sleeve, work 1 treble crochet in each of the next 4
chain stitches, work 2 treble crochets together as follows: work 1 treble crochet in the last chain stitch,
wait with the last yarn over and pull-through, work another treble crochet in the same way around the half
treble crochet in the transition between the body and sleeve, make 1 yarn over and pull it through all 3
loops on the hook (this avoids a hole in the transition between the body and sleeve). Work 1 treble crochet
in each stitch as far as the chain stitches on the other side of the sleeve, work 2 treble crochets together in
the transition between sleeve and body, then 1 treble crochet in each of the last chain stitches =
45-51-56-60-62-65 stitches.
Continue round and round, in the same way as on the body, starting the next round with the first treble
crochet in the first double crochet from the previous round.
Continue with 1 treble crochet in each treble crochet. When the sleeve measures 3 cm, decrease 2 treble
crochets under the sleeve – read DECREASE TIP!
Decrease like this every 13-8-5½-4-4-3 cm a total of 3-5-7-9-9-10 times = 39-41-42-42-44-45 stitches.
Work until the sleeve measures 41-40-40-39-38-36 cm (8 cm left to finished length). On the next round
work 1 treble crochet in the back loop of each treble crochet. Continue like this until the sleeve measures
49-48-48-47-46-44 cm - remember CROCHET INFORMATION-1 when finishing the final round. Cut and
fasten the strand. Work the other sleeve in the same way.

DOUBLE NECK:
Use crochet hook size 5 mm and DROPS Air. Fasten the strand with 1 slip stitch approx. mid-back.
Read CROCHET INFORMATION-2 in explanations above.
ROUND 1: Work 1 treble crochet between each half-treble crochet from round 1 = 67-70-73-77-80-84
treble crochet.
