EXPLANATION FOR THE PATTERN:

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

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

PATTERN:
See diagrams A.1 to A.5. Choose diagram for correct size.

INCREASE TIP (evenly):
To calculate how to increase evenly, use the total number of stitches on round (e.g. 92 stitches) and divide stitches by number of increases to be done (e.g. 38) = 2.4. In this example increase by working 2 treble crochets in 1 treble crochet alternately approx. every 2nd and 3rd stitch.

CROCHET TIP:
If the crochet tension vertically does not match the pattern can be repeated vertically until correct measurements but to make the division easier it is best to divide for body and sleeves as follows in the different sizes:
SIZE S, M and L: Divide after 1st or 2nd round in A.5.
SIZE XL, XXL and XXXL: Divide after 1st, 2nd or 3rd round in A.5.

DECREASE TIP:
Decrease at beginning and end of round as follows:
Work the first treble crochet as before (i.e. 3 chain stitches replace first treble crochet), work the next 2 treble crochets together as follows: * Make 1 yarn over, insert hook in next stitch and get the yarn, make 1 yarn over and pull yarn through the 2 loops on hook *, repeat from *-* 2 times in total, there are 3 loops on hook. Make 1 yarn over and pull yarn over through all 3 loops on hook (= 1 stitch decreased). Work as before until 3 treble crochets remain at the end of round, decrease 1 treble crochet more the same way and work 1 treble crochet in last treble crochet on round. 2 stitches have been decreased on round.

START THE PIECE HERE:

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

JUMPER - SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE:
Yoke is worked in the round from left shoulder at the back, and worked top down. When yoke is done, divide piece for body and sleeves. Work body downwards in the round while putting the sleeves aside. Then work sleeves downwards in the round. Work 1 round around the neck at the end.

YOKE:
Use hook size 4.5 mm and 1 strand DROPS Sky and 1 strand DROPS Kid-Silk (2 strands). Work 92-96-100-104-108-112 CHAIN STITCHES - read explanation above, and form a ring with 1 slip stitch in first chain stitch. Now work PATTERN as follows:
Work A.1, work A.2 until 1 chain stitch remain, work A.3. Work as shown in A.4 - on round marked with arrow increase 38-42-46-52-54-58 stitches evenly - read INCREASE TIP in explanation above = 130-138-146-156-162-170 stitches.
Remember to follow the crochet tension!
When A.4 has been worked, work A.5 the same way and repeat vertically - on round marked with arrow increase stitches as explained below.

1st time: Work A.5 and increase 38-42-46-52-54-58 stitches evenly on round marked with arrow = 168-180-192-208-216-228 stitches.

2nd time: Work A.5 and increase 36-40-42-46-50-52 stitches evenly on round marked with arrow = 204-220-234-254-266-280 stitches.

3rd time: Work A.5 and increase 36-40-42-46-50-52 stitches evenly on round marked with arrow = 240-260-276-300-316-332 stitches.

Continue A.5 without increases until 17-18-18-20-21-22 rounds in total have been worked and piece measures 19-20-20-22-23-24 cm from cast-on edge – read CROCHET TIP. Now divide yoke for body and sleeves.

DIVIDING FOR BODY AND SLEEVES:
AT THE SAME TIME as next round in A.5 is worked divide for body and sleeves as follows: Work 74-80-84-92-98-106 stitches (= back piece), skip 46-50-54-58-60-60 stitches (= sleeve), work 6-6-8-10-12-14 chain stitches (= in the side under sleeve), work 74-80-84-92-98-106 stitches (= front piece), skip 46-50-54-58-60-60 stitches (= sleeve), work 6-6-8-10-12-14 chain stitches (= in the side under sleeve) and finish round with 1 slip stitch as before. Finish body and sleeves separately.

BODY:
= 160-172-184-204-220-240 stitches. Work A.5 in the round as before.
When piece measures 19-20-22-22-22-23 cm from division, finish A.5. Work 1 treble crochet in every treble crochet the entire round until piece measures 27-28-30-29-30-31 cm from division. Cut and fasten the yarn. Jumper measures approx. 52-54-56-58-60-62 cm from the top of shoulder.

SLEEVES:
Begin round in the 4th-4th-5th-6th-7th-8th chain stitch in the side under sleeve. Work 3 chain stitches (replace first treble crochet), work 1 treble crochet in each of the next 1-1-2-3-4-5 chain stitches, work 1 treble crochet in the last chain stitch, but wait with last yarn over and pull through, work 1 treble crochet around the side of treble crochet that belongs to body, but pull last yarn over through all 3 loops on hook (to close hole), work diagram A.5 as before over the next 46-50-54-58-60-60 treble crochets, work 1 treble crochet around the side of treble crochet that belongs to body, but wait with last yarn over and pull through, work 1 treble crochet in first chain stitch in the side under sleeve but pull last yarn over through all 3 loops on hook (to close hole), work 1 treble crochet in each of the last 2-2-3-4-5-6 chain stitches under sleeve and finish with 1 slip stitch as before = 52-56-62-68-72-74 treble crochets. Insert a marker thread in the middle of the 6-6-8-10-12-14 stitches under sleeve - move the marker thread upwards when working - use marker thread later when decreasing mid under sleeve.
Continue to work A.5 in the round but in the 6-6-8-10-12-14 treble crochets mid under sleeve work treble crochet, AT THE SAME TIME when sleeve measures 3 cm from division decrease 2 stitches under sleeve – read DECREASE TIP in explanation above, and decrease approx. every 4-4-5-6-9-9 cm 1-1-2-3-4-4 times in total = 50-54-58-62-64-66 stitches.
When sleeve measures 38-37-38-36-36-36 cm, continue with treble crochets. Work until sleeve measures 42-41-42-41-40-40 cm from division. Cut and fasten the yarn.

NECK EDGE:
Begin mid back, fasten strand with 1 slip stitch, work 2 chain stitches (replace first half treble crochet), work 1 half treble crochet between every half treble crochet from first round on yoke, finish round with 1 slip stitch in 2nd chain stitch. Cut and fasten the yarn.
