------------------------------------------------------- EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN: ------------------------------------------------------- CROCHET INFORMATION: At the beginning of each row of double crochets work 3 chain stitches, which replace the first double crochet. At the beginning of each row of single crochets work 1 chain stitch, which replaces the first single crochet. 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 crochet is wide. PATTERN: See diagrams A.1 to A.3. ------------------------------------------------------- START THE PIECE HERE: ------------------------------------------------------- TOP - SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE: 2 triangles are worked to start with, one for the right side and one for the left side. The 2 pieces are crocheted together, then the bottom section is worked downwards. A strap is worked on each triangle. The top opens mid-back and is closed with a twisted cord. TRIANGLE: Work 21-24-27-27-32-38 chain stitches with hook size 3 MM = US C and DROPS Safran. Work as follows back and forth (row 1 = right side): Work 1 double crochet in the 5th chain stitch from the hook (= 2 double crochets) - read CROCHET INFORMATION, then 1 double crochet in each of the next 15-18-21-21-26-32 chain stitches, work (2 double crochets, 1 chain stitch, 2 double crochets) in the last chain stitch on the row, rotate the piece and skip the first chain stitch (i.e., the chain stitch you just worked in), work 1 double crochet in each of the 17-20-23-23-28-34 chain stitches on the other side of the row of chain stitches = 38-44-50-50-60-72 double crochets + 1 chain stitch. Turn and continue back and forth with 1 double crochet in each double crochet on each side of the row of chain stitches, working (2 double crochets, 1 chain stitch, 2 double crochets) around the chain stitch at the top of the row. REMEMBER THE CROCHET GAUGE! Work like this for a total of 11-12-13-14-14-15 rows of double crochets, but on the last row adjust the stitch count so you have 40-44-48-52-56-64 double crochets on each side of the chain stitch at the top (= 80-88-96-104-112-128 double crochets). The piece measures approx. 7-7½-8-9-9-9½ cm = 2¾"-2⅞"-3⅛"-3½"-3½"-3 5/9" from the row of chain stitches out. Work 1 more triangle in the same way. BOTTOM SECTION: Work the 2 triangles together. NOTE: Make sure you work over both triangles from the right side! Work 47-56-65-75-84-98 loose chain stitches, then 48-50-53-56-59-62 single crochets evenly spaced over the outermost double crochets (i.e., along the bottom edge of one triangle), work 48-50-53-56-59-62 single crochets evenly spaced over the other double crochets (along the bottom edge of the second triangle), then work 47-56-65-75-84-98 loose chain stitches at the end of the row = 190-212-236-262-286-320 stitches. Work back and forth as follows: Row 1 (wrong side): Work 1 double crochet in each single crochet / chain stitch– remember CROCHET INFORMATION. Row 2 (right side): Work 1 double crochet in each double crochet. Row 3 (wrong side): * Work 1 double crochet, 1 chain stitch, skip 1 double crochet *, work from *-* until there are 2 double crochets left, work 1 double crochet in each of the 2 last double crochets. Row 4 (right side): Work 1 double crochet in each double crochet and 1 double crochet around each chain stitch. Row 5 (wrong side): Work 1 double crochet in each double crochet, AT THE SAME TIME increase 10-10-8-4-13-12 double crochets evenly spaced = 200-222-244-266-299-332 double crochets. Work as follows: A.1 (= 1 double crochet), A.2 over the next 198-220-242-264-297-330 double crochets, A.3 (1 double crochet). When A.1, A.2 and A.3 are finished in height, cut and fasten the strand. STRAP: Work 1 strap in the top of each triangle: Start at the top of the triangle, work 1 double crochet in the double crochet before the chain-space, 2 double crochets around the chain-space and 1 double crochet in the double crochet after the chain-space = 4 double crochets. Work these 4 double crochets back and forth for 40-42-44-46-48-50 cm = 15¾"-16½"-17¼"-18"-19"-19¾". Cut and fasten the strand. Try the top on and adjust the length of the strap if necessary – it is fastened to the top back edge. CROCHET EDGE: Start from the wrong side at the bottom of the right side of the back piece. Work as follows: 1 single crochet, * 3 chain stitches, skip 1½ cm =½", 1 single crochet *, work from *-* as far as the corner on the back piece, making sure you work a single crochet in the corner and the number of chain-spaces is divisible by 2 + 1, work * 3 chain stitches, skip 2 double crochets, 1 single crochet *, work from *-* as far as the right triangle, making sure you work a single crochet in the corner and the number of chain-spaces is divisible by 2 + 1. Work to the top of the triangle and continue along the strap, finishing with 1 single crochet, making sure the number of chain-spaces is divisible by 2 + 1. At the top of the strap work as follows: 1 single crochet in the first double crochet, 3 chain stitches, skip 2 double crochets, 1 single crochet in the last double crochet. Continue down the strap and down the other side of the right triangle (finishing with 1 single crochet, making sure the number of chain-spaces is divisible by 2 + 1), work 1 single crochet between the pieces. Continue in the same way along the left triangle and strap, then continue over the single crochets on the back piece (making sure the number of chain-spaces is divisible by 2 + 1), finish with 1 single crochet. Work * 3 chain stitches, skip 1½ cm =½", 1 single crochet *, work from *-* down the left side of the back piece, making sure you work a single crochet in the corner and the number of chain-spaces is divisible by 2+ 1. Turn. ROW 2: Work 1 chain stitch + 1 slip stitch to the middle of the first chain-space, 1 single crochet around this chain-space, * work 5 double crochets around the next chain-space, 1 single crochet around the next chain-space *, work from *-*. Cut and fasten the strand. TWISTED CORD: Cut 2 strands of 2.5 metres. Twist the strands together until they begin to resist, fold the cord single and it will continue to twist. Tie a knot in each end. Start at the top mid-back and thread the ends of the cord through each side, then thread the ends back and forth across the opening – through the fan pattern, making sure the ends are of equal length at the bottom. Tie a bow. ASSEMBLY: Sew 2 buttons to the wrong side, top of each side at the back. Fasten each strap through a hole in the fan pattern. |

De stekenverhouding is 13 toeren per 10 centimeter. De instructies voor de derde maat geven 13 toeren voor het vormen van de driehoek. Toch meet de driehoek vanaf de lossen ketting volgens het patroon 8 centimeter in plaats van 10. Is dit een fout in het patroon of lees ik het patroon verkeerd?
