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

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:
When working back and forth.
At the beginning of each row of treble crochets work 3 chain stitches, which do not replace the first treble crochet but are worked in addition.
At the beginning of each row of double crochets work 1 chain stitch, which does not replace the first double crochet but is worked in addition.
When working in the round:
At the beginning of each round of treble crochets work 3 chain stitches, which do not replace the first treble crochet but are worked in addition. Finish the round with 1 slip stitch in the 3rd chain stitch from the beginning of the round.

PATTERN:
See diagrams A.1 to A.6. Choose diagram for your size (applies to A.5 and A.6).

TIP FOR RELIEF-STITCHES:
When working the relief-pattern it is important that the relief-stitches are neither too tight nor too loose. If the stitches are too tight when working relief-quadruple-treble crochets, work relief-quintuple-treble crochets instead. If the stitches are too loose, work relief-triple-treble crochets instead.

DECREASE TIP:
Decrease 1 double crochet by working 2 double crochets together: Insert the hook through the first stitch and pick up the strand, insert the hook through the next stitch and pick up the strand (= 3 loops on hook), make 1 yarn over and pull it through all 3 loops (1 stitch decreased).
Decrease 1 treble crochet by working 2 treble crochets together:
* Make 1 yarn over, insert the hook through the next stitch, pick up the strand, 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).

INCREASE TIP (sleeves):
Work 2 treble crochets in the 3rd stitch on the round, work until there are 3 stitches left and work 2 treble crochets in the next stitch (= 2 stitches increased).
