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

EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN:
-------------------------------------------------------

PATTERN:
See diagrams A.1 to A.4.

CROCHET INFORMATION:
Each round of treble crochets begins with 3 chain stitches (does not replace the first treble crochet) and finishes with 1 slip stitch in the 3rd chain stitch at the beginning of the round.
Each round of double crochets begins with 1 chain stitch (does not replace the first double crochet) and finishes with 1 slip stitch in the first chain stitch.

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.

INCREASE TIP:
Increase 1 treble crochet by working 2 treble crochets in the same stitch.

DECREASE TIP (sleeves):
Start straight after the marker and work 1 treble crochet, work the next 2 treble crochets together as follows: * 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, 1 yarn over and pull it through all 3 loops on the hook (1 stitch decreased). Work until there are 3 stitches left on the round, work the next 2 treble crochets together as above and work 1 treble crochet in the last stitch.

START THE PIECE HERE:

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

JUMPER – SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE:
The neck and yoke are worked in the round, top down and from mid-back. The yoke is divided for the body and sleeves, which are finished separately in the round.

NECK:
Work 84-86-90-92-96-100 chain stitches with hook size 4.5 mm and DROPS Sky. Form them into a ring with 1 slip stitch in the first chain stitch. Work 1 treble crochet in each stitch – read CROCHET INFORMATION and CHAIN STITCH! Work like this for 12 cm. Insert 1 marker at the beginning of the round (mid-back), the yoke is measured from this marker!

YOKE:
Work A.1 over all stitches.
On round 2 in A.1 increase 32-38-38-40-40-44 treble crochets evenly spaced – read INCREASE TIP = 116-124-128-132-136-144 stitches.
Work A.2 over all stitches.
On round 3 in A.2 increase 28-36-36-36-36-40 treble crochets evenly spaced = 144-160-164-168-172-184 stitches.
On round 4 in A.2 increase 26-25-31-32-38-41 treble crochets evenly spaced = 170-185-195-200-210-225 stitches. REMEMBER THE CROCHET TENSION!
Work A.3 over all stitches.
On round 4 in A.3 increase 25-25-35-35-40-40 treble crochets evenly spaced = 195-210-230-235-250-265 stitches.
On round 9 in A.3 increase 16-17-16-29-31-34 treble crochets evenly spaced = 211-227-246-264-281-299 stitches.
On the last round in A.3 increase 13-17-14-28-27-33 treble crochets evenly spaced = 224-244-260-292-308-332 stitches.
Work 1 treble crochet in each stitch until the yoke measures 21-23-24-26-27-29 cm from the marker.
Now divide for the body and sleeves as follows:
Work 1 treble crochet in each of the first 34-38-40-44-48-52 stitches (half back piece), skip 44-46-50-58-58-62 stitches for the sleeve and work 8-8-10-10-12-12 chain stitches under the sleeve, work 1 treble crochet in each of the next 68-76-80-88-96-104 stitches (front piece), skip 44-46-50-58-58-62 stitches for the sleeve and work 8-8-10-10-12-12 chain stitches under the sleeve, work 1 treble crochet in each of the last 34-38-40-44-48-52 stitches (half back piece).

BODY:
= 152-168-180-196-216-232 stitches. Continue with 1 treble crochet in each stitch and, on the first round, in each chain stitch under the sleeve.
When the body measures 20-20-21-21-22-22 cm from the division, work A.4 over all stitches. When A.4 is finished in height, continue with 1 treble crochet in each stitch until the body measures 5 cm from the first round in A.4.
Cut and fasten the strand. The jumper measures approx. 50-52-54-56-58-60 cm from the shoulder down.

SLEEVES:
Work over the skipped stitches on one side of the piece as follows:
Crochet 1 slip stitch in the 4th-4th-5th-5th-6th-6th chain stitch under sleeve, 3 chain stitches, crochet 1 treble crochet in each of the next 3-3-4-4-5-5 chain stitches, 1 treble crochet in each of the next 44-46-50-58-58-62 skipped stitches, 1 treble crochet in each of the last 4-4-5-5-6-6 chain stitches under the sleeve = 52-54-60-68-70-74 stitches. Insert 1 marker in the middle of the 8-8-10-10-12-12 chain stitches under the sleeve. Start at the marker and work in the round with 1 treble crochet in each stitch for 3 cm.
Now decrease 2 stitches under the sleeve – read DECREASE TIP!
Decrease like this every 5-4-3½-2-2-2 cm a total of 6-6-8-12-12-13 times = 40-42-44-44-46-48 stitches.
When the sleeve measures 35-33-33-31-31-29 cm from the division, work A.4 over all stitches. When A.4 is finished in height, continue with 1 treble crochet in each stitch until the sleeve measures 5 cm from the first round in A.4. Cut and fasten the strand. Work the other sleeve in the same way.

ASSEMBLY:
Fold the neck double to the inside and sew a stitch in each side to keep it in place.
