EXPLANATION FOR THE PATTERN:

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

PATTERN:
See diagrams A.1 to A.10.

CHAIN STITCH:
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 treble crochet is wide.

CROCHET INFORMATION:
On every round beginning with treble crochets replace first treble crochet with 3 chain stitches, finish round with 1 slip stitch in 3rd chain stitch.
On every round beginning with double crochets replace first double crochet with 1 chain stitch and finish round with 1 slip stitch in first chain stitch.
When working pattern (i.e. treble crochets and chain stitches) work as follows:
When round begins with 1 treble crochet, replace first treble crochet with 3 chain stitches, and finish round with 1 slip stitch in 3rd chain stitch.
When round begins with 1 chain stitch, replace last treble crochet with 3 chain stitches as follows:
Work 3 chain stitches (replace last treble crochet), 1 chain stitch (first chain stitch in pattern), skip last treble crochet and finish round with 1 slip stitch in 3rd chain stitch, work 1 double crochet around first chain stitch (this is done to avoid the round from displacing).

LACE PATTERN:
Work pattern where the diagram do not fit over raglan line and under sleeve as follows:
ROUND 1: Work * 1 treble crochet around next chain stitch, 1 chain stitch, skip 1 treble crochet *, work from *-*.
ROUND 2: Work * 1 chain stitch, skip 1 treble crochet, 1 treble crochet around next chain stitch *, work from *-*.
Adjust which round to begin on according to pattern in diagram.

INCREASE TIP:
Increase in stitch in each side as follows:
Make sure that round before is a round where stitch mid under sleeve was worked as 1 chain stitch. Around this chain stitch work 1 treble crochet, 1 chain stitch and 1 treble crochet around same chain stitch (1 chain space increased). Increase like this in each side (2 chain spaces increased in total).

TOP - SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE:
Work in the round top down. Divide yoke for body and sleeve edges and continue each part separately.

YOKE:
Work 84-86-90-92-96-102 CHAIN STITCHES - read explanation above, on hook size 4.5 mm with DROPS Belle and form a ring with 1 slip stitch in first chain stitch worked. Then work pattern as follows:

Work 1 round with 1 treble crochet in every stitch and increase 4-2-18-16-12-26 treble crochet evenly = 88-88-108-108-108-128 treble crochets.
Work pattern as follows:

Work A.1, * A.2 3-3-4-4-4-5 times in total, A.3, A.4, A.5 *, A.6, work from *-* 2 times in total and finish with A.7.
Continue pattern like this. REMEMBER THE CROCHET TENSION!

When A.1, A.4, A.6 and A.7 have been worked 1 time vertically, there are 188-188-208-208-208-228 stitches on last round (bobbles are counted as 1 stitch).
Then work pattern as follows:

SIZE S-M-L:
Work A.1a, * A.2a 4-4-5 times in total, A.3a, A.8a, A.4a, A.9a, A.5a, A.10a *, A.6a, work from *-* 1 more time and finish with A.7a.
Work 5-8-8 rounds with pattern.

SIZE L/XL - XL-XXL-XXXL:
Work A.1a, * A.2a 5-5-6 times in total, A.3a, A.8a, A.4a, A.9a, A.5a, A.10a *, A.6a, work from *-* 1 more time and finish with A.7a.
Work 11-14-14 rounds with pattern.
Every time A.1a, A.4a, A.6a and A.7a are repeated vertically work 1 repetition more of A.2a and A.8a in width on front piece/back piece and 1 repetition more of A.9a and A.10a in width on each sleeve.

ALL SIZES:
Work next round in pattern but now replace bobbles in raglan line (i.e. the first 2 bobble in A.1a and in the middle of A.4a and A.6a) with treble crochets (i.e. 1 bobble = 1 treble crochet) = 236-260-280-304-328-348 stitches.
Piece measures approx. 23-26-26-30-34-34 cm.
Work pattern as before, but over A.1a, A.4, A.6 and A.7 work LACE PATTERN – read explanation above and read CROCHET INFO = 232-256-276-300-324-344 stitches.
Continue pattern like this. Work lace pattern where the pattern does not fit and lace pattern and bobble according to diagram as before over stitches on back piece/front piece and sleeves.
When piece measures 26-28-29-31-33-35 cm, fasten off. Now divide piece for body and sleeve edges as follows:
Begin by counting from the middle stitch on back piece (i.e. in the middle of 2 raglan lines), count 32-35-38-42-47-51 stitches towards beginning of round, next round begins in/around next stitch.
Work 1 double crochet in/around next stitch, 3 chain stitches (replace first or last treble crochet), work pattern as before over the next 64-70-76-84-94-102 stitches, replace the bobble that do not fit a whole flower with 1 treble crochet, skip the next 51-57-61-65-67-69 stitches for sleeve, work 9 chain stitches under sleeve, work pattern as before over the next 65-71-77-85-95-103 stitches, skip the next 51-57-61-65-67-69 stitches for sleeve and work 9 chain stitches under sleeve and finish round with 1 slip stitch in 3rd chain stitch at the beginning of round.

BODY:
= 148-160-172-188-208-224 stitches. Work pattern in the round as before, work pattern (i.e. 1 treble crochet, 1 chain stitch) over stitches worked under sleeve. Insert 1 marker in the middle stitch under each of sleeve.
When piece measures 4 cm from division, increase 1 chain space in each side of piece – read INCREASE TIP!
Increase like this every 4 cm 3-3-3-4-4-4 times in total = 160-172-184-204-224-240 stitches.
Continue the pattern as before, work the increased stitches in pattern as the remaining stitches that do not fit the diagram. When piece measures approx. 19-19-20-20-20-20 cm from division, finish nicely according to pattern, work 1 round with 1 treble crochet in every treble crochet, 1 treble crochet around every chain stitch, and 1 treble crochet in each bobble (if there are any).
Cut and fasten the yarn.

SLEEVE EDGE:
Now work over 51-57-61-65-67-69 stitches skipped for sleeve edges in one side as follows. Work 1 double crochet in 5th chain stitch worked under sleeve, work 3 chain stitches (replace first treble crochet), 1 treble crochet in every treble crochet and 1 treble crochet around every chain stitch = 60-66-70-74-76-78 treble crochets. Cut and fasten the yarn.
Work the other sleeve edge the same way.

NECK EDGE:
Work 1 double crochet in stitch mid back, work 1 chain stitch (replace first double crochet), work 1 double crochet in every stitch around the neck and finish round with 1 slip stitch in chain stitch at the beginning of round.
