EXPLANATION FOR THE PATTERN:

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

CHAIN STITCH TIP:
It is important not to work the chain stitches at the beginning of piece to tightly, use a larger crochet hook if the edge is too tight.

BAND TIP:
It is important that diagrams A.15, A.16, A.22 and A.23 are not worked too tight (= band stitches). It is especially important when decreasing for V-neck.

PATTERN: 
See diagrams A.1 and A.23. Not all diagrams are used in all sizes.

BOBBLE - WORK 5 TRIPLE TREBLE CROCHETS TOGETHER:
Work 1 triple treble crochet but wait with last pull through= 2 loops on hook. Work 4 triple treble crochets the same way = 6 loops on hook. Make 1 yarn over on hook and pull through all loops on hook. Tighten well before continuing.

DECREASE TIP:
Decrease 1 treble crochet by working 2 treble crochets together as follows: Work 1 treble crochet but wait with last yarn over and pull through, work 1 treble crochet more the same way. Make 1 yarn over and pull through all loops on hook(= 1 treble crochet decreased).

READ ALL OF THE FOLLOWING SECTION BEFORE CONTINUING!
Continue according to diagrams until piece measures 38-39-40-41-42-43 cm in total. Then work armholes in the left side of front piece by no longer working over the outermost 2-2-3-3-3-3 stitches in the side (opposite side of band). This is done on a row from right side: End row when 2-2-3-3-3-3 stitches remain. This is done on a row from wrong side: Cut the yarn, begin to work in the 3rd-3rd-4th-4th-4th-4th stitch from the side. NOTE: Continue bobble pattern upwards as before but adjust not to work in the 3 outermost stitches towards the side (replace 1 bobble with 1 treble crochet).
AT THE SAME TIME when piece measures 40-39-43-45-42-48 cm decrease 1 stitch inside 5 band stitches by working 2 treble crochets together – read DECREASE TIP. Repeat decrease every other row 8-8-9-9-10-10 times in total. NOTE: Continue bobble pattern upwards as before but adjust not to work in the 4 outermost stitches towards the band (replace 1 bobble with 1 treble crochet).
AT THE SAME TIME when piece measures approx. 48-50-52-54-56-58 cm bobble are no longer worked, replace 1 bobble with 1 treble crochet. When all decreases for V-neck and armholes are done there are 30-33-34-37-40-44 stitches on row.
Continue to work until piece measures 56-58-60-62-64-66 cm. The shoulder is now done, work now over the 5 band stitches (= neck edge to be fastened to neck edge on back piece). If last row was from wrong side, turn piece and work from right side. If last row was from right side, cut the yarn and work from wrong side in the 5 band stitches. Work until piece measures approx. 7-7-8-8-9-9 cm from shoulder. Cut the yarn, but leave approx. 20 cm - this is used for assembly later.

SLEEVES:
Work 52-54-56-58-62-66 loose chain stitches on hook size 5 and Air. Work 2-2-3-3-3-3 rows with treble crochets back and forth (sew body to sleeve here later). Then work treble crochets back and forth, but put every row together with 1 slip stitch in first treble crochet worked on row and turn piece (so that texture is the same the entire sleeve and to avoid sewing together at the end). Work until piece measures 20-19-18-17-15-13 cm in total (approx. 34 cm remain until finished measurements for all sizes). Now increase 2 treble crochets on the under side of sleeve, increase by working 2 treble crochets inside first and last treble crochet on row (= 2 treble crochets increased). Repeat increase every 3rd row 8 times in total = 68-70-72-74-78-82 stitches.
Work until piece measures 48-47-46-45-43-41 cm (NOTE! shorter measurements in the larger sizes because of wider shoulders). On next row decrease by working 2 and 2 treble crochets together entire row = 34-35-36-37-39-41 stitches. Work 1 more row and decrease 6-7-4-5-3-5 stitches evenly = 28-28-32-32-36-36 stitches. Now work an edge at the bottom of sleeve as follows from right side: Work 3 chain stitches (= replace 1st treble crochet), work 1 treble crochet around next treble crochet from front of piece, * work 1 treble crochet around each of the 2 next treble crochets from back of piece, work 1 treble crochet around each of the next 2 treble crochet from front of piece *, work from *-* the entire round. Continue to work like this until edge measures approx. 4 cm, sleeve measures approx. 54-53-52-51-49-47 cm. Cut and fasten the yarn.
Work another sleeve the same way.

ASSEMBLY:
Sew shoulder seams edge to edge to avoid a chunky seam. Sew in sleeves – the section worked back and forth at the top of sleeve is fastened to front/back piece where armholes were made. Sew side seams. Sew end of the 5 band stitches from left front piece together with end of 5 band stitches on right side - make sure that band does not twist = neck edge. Place edge of band stitches so that it is edge to edge with neck on back piece, fasten band with small stitches. Fasten button on left band, button through stitches on right band. Top button should be where V-neck begins and bottom button should be placed approx. 2 cm from edge at the bottom. Then place the remaining 3-3-3-4-4-4 button evenly between these.
