EXPLANATION FOR THE PATTERN:

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

PATTERN:
See diagram A.1.

CHAIN STITCHES:
If you work at the end of crochet hook the chain stitch will often be too tight.
1 chain stitch should be just as long as 1 double crochet/treble crochet is wide.

CROCHET INFORMATION:
At beginning of every round with treble crochet work 3 chain stitches, these chain stitches do not replace first treble crochet. Finish round with 1 slip stitch in 3rd chain stitch at beginning of round.
At beginning of every round with double crochet work 1 chain stitch, this chain stitch does not replace first double crochet. Finish round with 1 slip stitch in first chain stitch at beginning of round.

INCREASE TIP:
Increase 1 treble crochet by working 2 treble crochets in same stitch.
To calculate how to increase evenly, use the total number of stitches on round (for example 108 stitches) and divide by number of increases to be done (e.g. 15 stitches) = 7.2.
In this example increase by working 2 treble crochets in approx. every 7th stitch.

DECREASE TIP:
Work 2 treble crochets together into 1 treble crochet as follows: *Make 1 yarn over, insert hook in next stitch, get yarn, make 1 yarn over and pull yarn through the 2 first loops on hook *, repeat from *-* 2 times in total, make 1 yarn over and pull yarn through all 3 loops on hook (= 1 stitch decreased).

CROCHET TIP:
Turn piece for every round worked. I.e. work every other round from right side and wrong side as follows:
Work first round from right side. Finish round with 1 slip stitch in 3rd chain stitch from beginning of round. Turn piece and work from wrong side of piece. Finish round with 1 slip stitch in 3rd chain stitch from beginning of round. Turn piece and work next round from right side of piece.
Continue back and forth like this.

START THE PIECE HERE:

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

JUMPER - SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE:
Work the neck edge and yoke in the round, top down. Now divide yoke for body and sleeves. Continue body and sleeves in the round separately.

YOKE:
Work 104-108-112-116-118-122 CHAIN STITCHES - read explanation above, on hook size 4 mm with DROPS Sky and form a ring with 1 slip stitch in first chain stitch worked.
Turn - read CROCHET TIPS and CROCHET INFORMATION and work first round as follows:
Work 1 treble crochet in every chain stitch = 104-108-112-116-118-122 treble crochets.
Work 1 row with 1 treble crochet in every treble crochet and increase 13-15-11-7-17-19 treble crochets evenly – read INCREASE TIP = 117-123-123-123-135-141 stitches.
Work A.1 in the round over all stitches.

Continue pattern and increase like this:
On every 3rd and 5th round in A.1 increase 24-27-33-33-30-33 treble crochet evenly on every round (i.e. Increase 48-54-66-66-60-66 treble crochets in total on 1 repetition vertically). Repeat A.1 vertically. REMEMBER THE CROCHET TENSION!
Increase like this 5-5-5-6-7-7 times in total = 237-258-288-321-345-372 stitches.

Repeat A.1 vertically until piece measures 20-22-23-25-27-29 cm, adjust so that next round is a row with only treble crochets. Now divide piece for body and sleeves as follows:
Work A.1 over 64-72-81-91-97-108 stitches, skip the next 54-57-63-69-75-78 stitches for sleeve and work 9 chain stitches under sleeve, work A.1 over 65-72-81-92-98-108 stitches, skip the next 54-57-63-69-75-78 stitches for sleeve and work 9 chain stitches under sleeve.

BODY:
= 147-162-180-201-213-234 stitches.
Continue pattern as before. Work A.1 over all stitches (i.e. work A.1 49-54-60-67-71-78 times in width).

When piece measures approx. 3 cm from division, decrease 3-6-6-9-6-6 treble crochets evenly on next row with treble crochets – read DECREASE TIP = 144-156-174-192-207-228 stitches.
When piece measures approx. 6 cm from division, decrease 3-6-6-9-6-6 treble crochets on next row with treble crochets = 141-150-168-183-201-222 stitches.
When piece measures approx. 8 cm from division, increase 6-9-9-9-9-9 treble crochets evenly on next row with treble crochets. Increase like this approx. every 5-6-7-7-5-5 cm 4-3-3-3-4-4 times in total = 165-177-195-210-237-258 stitches.
When piece measures 25-25-26-26-26-26 cm from division, adjust to finish with 1 row with treble crochets, fasten off. Jumper measures approx. 50-52-54-56-58-60 cm, measured from shoulder and down.

SLEEVES:
Work sleeve in the round back and round.
Now work over 54-57-63-69-75-78 stitches skipped for sleeve in one side as follows:
Work 1 double crochet in 5th chain stitch worked under sleeve. Work 3 chain stitches, then work A.1 over all stitches = 63-66-72-78-84-87 stitches.
When piece measures approx. 2 cm, adjust so that next round is a round with treble crochets, decrease 3 treble crochets evenly.
Decrease like this approx. every 3-3-3-2-2-2 cm 4-4-3-4-4-3 times in total = 51-54-63-66-72-78 stitches.
When sleeve measures 15-14-13-12-10-9 cm from division, fasten off.
Work the other sleeve the same way.

NECK EDGE:
Crochet an edge around the neck as follows:
Work 1 double crochet in every stitch at the top in the neck. Cut and fasten the yarn.
