EXPLANATION FOR THE PATTERN:
----------------------------------------------------------
PATTERN:
See diagrams A.1 and A.2. Diagram A.1 shows how round begins and ends.
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.
INCREASE TIP:
When increasing treble crochets evenly when working according to A.2, work 4 treble crochets around some chain spaces instead of 3.

YOKE:
Work 86-90-94-100-104-108 CHAIN STITCHES - read explanation above, on hook size 4 mm with DROPS Muskat and form 1 ring with 1 slip stitch in first chain stitch.
Work 3 chain stitches, then work 1 treble crochet in every chain stitch, finish with 1 slip stitch in 3rd chain stitch. = 86-90-94-100-104-108 treble crochets. Work 1 round with 1 treble crochet in every treble crochet and increase at the same time 28-30-32-32-34-36 treble crochet evenly = 114-120-126-132-138-144 treble crochets. REMEMBER THE CROCHET TENSION! Work A.1, then A.2 19-20-21-22-23-24 times in total on round. A.1 shows how round begins and ends, and is in addition to stitches in A.2.
Work A.1 and A.2, AT THE SAME TIME increase stitches every time 5th round in A.2 is worked. Work A.2 3-3-4-4-5-5 times in total vertically, and increase treble crochets evenly as follows - read INCREASE TIP:
1st time 5th round is worked:
Increase 36-36-36-42-36-42 treble crochets evenly, i.e. work 4 treble crochets around every chain space, but 2-4-6-2-10-6 times evenly on round work 3 treble crochets around chain space. There are now 150-156-162-174-174-186 treble crochets on round, and there is room for 25-26-27-29-29-31 repetitions of A.2 in width.
2nd time 5th round is worked:
Increase 36-48-36-42-36-42 treble crochets evenly, i.e. work 4 treble crochets around every chain space, but 14-4-18-16-22-20 times evenly on round work 3 treble crochets around chain space. There are now 186-204-198-216-210-228 treble crochets on round, and there is room for 31-34-33-36-35-38 repetitions of A.2 in width.
3rd time 5th round is worked:
Increase 42-48-36-42-42-48 treble crochets evenly, i.e. work 4 treble crochets around every chain space, but 20-20-30-30-28-28 times evenly on round work 3 treble crochets around chain space. There are now 228-252-234-258-252-276 treble crochets on round, and there is room for 38-42-39-43-42-46 repetitions of A.2 in width.
SIZE L-XL-XXL-XXXL:
4th time 5th round is A.2 in worked:
Increase 42-42-42-48 treble crochets evenly, i.e. work 4 treble crochets around every chain space, but 36-44-42-44 times evenly on round work 3 treble crochets around chain space. There are now 276-300-294-324 treble crochets on round, and there is room for 46-50-49-54 repetitions of A.2 in width.
Size XXL-XXXL:
5th time 5th round is A.2 in worked: Increase 42-48 treble crochets evenly.
i.e. work 4 treble crochets around every chain space, but 56-60 times evenly on round work 3 treble crochets around chain space. There are now 336-372 treble crochets on round, and there is room for 56-62 repetitions of A.2 in width.
There are now 228-252-276-300-336-372 treble crochets on round.
Work A.1, then work A.2 38-42-46-50-56-62 times in total on round, finish after 3rd round. 3-3-4-4-5-5 whole repetitions have been worked vertically in total of A.2 + 3 round of A.2.
Work next round as follows - this is 4th round in A.2:
Work 12-13-14-15-17-19 repetitions of A.2 in width, then work first treble crochet next repetition, work 8 chain stitches, skip 7-8-9-10-11-12 repetitions of A.2 (except for first and last treble crochet which belong to back piece/front piece), work 12-13-14-15-17-19 repetitions of A.2 (begin and end with 1 treble crochet), work 8 chain stitches, skip 7-8-9-10-11-12 repetitions of A.2 (except for first and last treble crochet which belong to back piece/front piece).

Continue with 1 treble crochet in every treble crochet under sleeve, and 5th round of A.2, at the same time increase 18-18-18-24-24-24 treble crochets evenly = 66-72-78-90-96-102 treble crochets. Continue with A.1 and A.2 (A.2 is worked 11-12-13-15-16-17 times on round), when 5th round in A.2 is worked, increase 18 treble crochets evenly, i.e. work 4 treble crochets around every chain space, but 4-6-8-12-14-16 times evenly on round work 3 treble crochets around chain space = 84-90-96-108-114-120 treble crochet. Continue with A.1 and A.2 (A.2 is worked 14-15-16-18-19-20 times on round), when 5th round in A.2 is worked, increase 18 treble crochets evenly, i.e. work 4 treble crochets around every chain space, but 10-12-14-18-20-22 times evenly on round work 3 treble crochets around chain space = 102-108-114-126-132-138 treble crochets.
