START THE PIECE HERE:

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

JUMPER - SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE:
Work in the round top down. First work a yoke. Then divide the piece into body and sleeves and continue in the round separately.

YOKE:
Work 102-102-111-116-116-125 chain stitches on hook size 4.5 mm with Puna and form a ring with 1 slip stitch in first chain stitch. Work 1 chain stitch (= first double crochet) - read CROCHET INFO, skip first chain stitch, work 1 double crochet in each of the next 3-3-5-3-3-5 chain stitches, * skip 1 chain stitch, 1 double crochet in each of the next 6 chain stitches *, work from *-* and finish with 1 slip stitch in first chain stitch on round = 88-88-96-100-100-108 double crochets.
Then work pattern as follows:
Round begins in transition between back piece and sleeve (i.e. first work over sleeve, front piece, sleeve and finally back piece).
Right sleeve: Work A.1 over first stitch, A.2 over 1 stitch, A.3 over 1 stitch.
Front piece: Work A.4 over the next 2-2-4-2-2-4 stitches, A.5 over 17-17-17-18-18-18 stitches, A.6 over 1-1-1-3-3-3 stitches, A.7 over 1 stitch (= mid front), A.8 over 1-1-1-3-3-3 stitches, A.9 over 17-17-17-18-18-18 stitches, A.4 over the next 2-2-4-2-2-4 stitches.
Left sleeve: Work as right sleeve.
Back piece: Work as front piece.
Continue pattern like this. REMEMBER THE CROCHET TENSION!
Repeat A.4, A.5 and A.9 vertically. Work A.2 until arrow for your size, then work A.4 over these stitches.
When A.1, A.3, A.6, A.7 and A.8 have been worked 1 time vertically, there are 55-55-59-63-63-67 double crochets and 4 fans on each front piece/back piece and 29-31-39-37-33-31 double crochets on each sleeve = 168-172-196-200-192-196 double crochets + 8 fan pattern in total.
Piece measures approx. 14 cm measured along shoulder.
Then work as follows:
Right sleeve: Work A.1 over first stitch, A.4 over the next 27-29-37-35-31-29 stitches, A.3 over 1 stitch.
Front piece: Work A.4 over the next 2-2-4-2-2-4 stitches, A.5 2 times in total in width, A.6 over the next 1-1-1-3-3-3 stitches, A.7 (= 1 stitch = mid front), A.8 over the next 1-1-1-3-3-3 stitches, A.9 2 times in total in width, A.4 over the next 2-2-4-2-2-4 stitches.
Left sleeve: Work as right sleeve.
Back piece: Work as front piece.
Continue pattern like this until piece measures 22-24-25-27-29-31 cm in total, measured along the shoulder (i.e. approx. 7-9-10-12-14-15 rounds after first repetition of pattern A.1, A.3 and A.6 to A.8).
There are now approx. 65-71-77-89-93-97 double crochets/double treble crochets and approx. 6-6-6-6-6-8 fans on each front piece/back piece and approx. 45-51-59-61-61-63 double crochets/double treble crochets on each sleeve = approx. 220-244-272-300-308-320 double crochets/double treble crochets + approx. 12-12-12-12-12-16 fan pattern in total.
Now divide the piece for sleeves and body as follows:
Right sleeve: Skip sleeve stitches (= approx. 45-51-59-61-61-63 stitches) and work 6-6-6-8-10-12 chain stitches under sleeve.
Front piece: Work pattern as before.
Left sleeve: Skip sleeve stitches (= approx. 45-51-59-61-61-63 stitches) and work 6-6-6-8-10-12 chain stitches under sleeve.
Back piece: Work as front piece.
There are now approx. 71-77-83-93-103-109 double crochets/double treble crochets/chain stitches (including chain stitches under sleeve) + approx. 6-6-6-6-6-8 fans on each front piece/back piece = approx. 142-154-166-186-206-218 double crochets/double treble crochets and approx. 12-12-12-12-12-16 fan pattern in total.

BODY:
Work 1 round with pattern as before and 1 double crochet/double treble crochet in every chain stitch under sleeve. Displace round so that it begins mid under sleeve. Insert 1 marker mid under both sleeves.
Then work pattern as before but decrease stitches in each side as follows:
Front piece: Work A.4 over the first 2-2-4-4-5-8 stitches, A.10 over the next 5 stitches + fan pattern + 1 stitch (adjust which round to begin on according to pattern), work pattern as before (i.e. continue to increase mid front) until 8-8-10-10-11-14 stitches remain and 1 fan before marker, work A.11 over 1 stitch + fan pattern + 5 stitches, work A.4 over the next 2-2-4-4-5-8 stitches.
Back piece: Work as front piece.
Continue pattern like this.
I.e. on every round with double treble crochets increase stitches on each side of A.7 (i.e. increase stitches in A.6 and A.8) and decrease stitches in A.10 and A.11 (when decreasing/increasing double treble crochets increase 2 double treble crochets on each side of A.7 (= 8 double treble crochets increased) and decrease 1 double treble crochet in every A.10/A.11 (= 4 double treble crochets decreased in total), i.e. increase 4 double treble crochets in total on round).
Decrease pattern in the sides and increase for new pattern mid front/mid back. When A.10 and A.11 have been worked 1 time vertically, continue decrease in double treble crochets as before (i.e. now there is no decrease in the fan pattern).
When piece measures 20 cm from where body was divided from sleeve, measured along the side on the shortest, increase stitches as before, but do not increase for fans, i.e. work all stitches increased in double crochets/double treble crochets.
When piece measures 25-25-26-26-26-26 cm from where body was divided sleeve, measured along the shortest (i.e. approx. 11 rounds with double treble crochets = 11 times increased), work 1 edge as follows:
Work * 1 double crochet, 3 chain stitches, skip approx. 1 cm *, work from *-* in the round, adjust to finish with 3 chain stitches and 1 slip stitch in first double crochet.
Make sure edge is not too tight, skip fewer stitches if needed. Fasten off. Jumper measures approx. 50-52-54-56-58-60 cm measured from shoulder and down on the shortest.

SLEEVE:
Fasten strand with 1 slip stitch in 3rd chain stitch under sleeve, work 1 double crochet/double treble crochet in each of the 2-2-2-3-4-5 chain stitches under sleeve (adjust whether to work double crochet or double treble crochet according to pattern), work 1 double crochet/double treble crochet in each of the approx. 45-51-59-61-61-63 stitches skipped for sleeve and finish with 1 double crochet/double treble crochet in each of the last 3-3-3-4-5-6 chain stitches under sleeve = approx. 51-57-65-69-71-75 double crochets/double treble crochets.
Continue in the round according to A.4.
When sleeve measures 2 cm, decrease 2 stitches under sleeve - read DECREASE TIP.
Decrease like this every 5-3-2½-2½-2½-2 cm 8-11-13-13-14-15 times in total = approx. 35-36-39-43-43-45 stitches.
Continue pattern until piece measures 43-42-41-40-38-37 cm, now work 1 edge around the sleeve as follows: Work * 1 double crochet, 3 chain stitches, skip approx. 1 cm *, work from *-* around the entire sleeve, adjust to finish with 3 chain stitches and 1 slip stitch in first double crochet. Fasten off. Work the other sleeve the same way.

NECK EDGE:
Crochet an edge around the neck as follows: Begin mid on top of shoulder, fasten strand with 1 slip stitch in 1 stitch, work * 1 double crochet in next stitch, 3 chain stitches, skip approx. 1 cm *, work from *-* in the round as follows, adjust to finish round with 3 chain stitches and 1 slip stitch in first double crochet. Make sure edge is not too tight at the neck, skip fewer stitches if needed. Fasten off.
