CROCHET INFO: At the beginning of each row/round with single crochets, replace the first single crochet with 1 chain stitch. The round finishes with 1 slip stitch in the first chain stitch. At the beginning of each row/round with half double crochets, replace the first half double crochet with 2 chain stitches. The round finishes with 1 slip stitch in the 2nd chain stitch. At the beginning of every row/round with double crochets, replace the first double crochet with 3 chain stitches. The round finishes with 1 slip stitch in the 3rd chain stitch. At the beginning of every row/round with double treble crochets, replace the first double treble crochet with 5 chain stitches. The round finishes with 1 slip stitch in the 5th chain stitch. INCREASE TIP: You increase in each side by working an extra chain-space (= 6 chain stitches and 1 single crochet) around the first and last chain-space on the row (= chain-space with 3 chain stitches). PATTERN: See diagrams A.1 to A.5. The diagrams show all the rows/rounds seen from the right side. ---------------------------------------------------------- VEST: The crochet square on the back piece is worked in the round. Then you work back and forth in sections and then these sections are assembled together. BACK PIECE: CROCHET SQUARE: Start with hook size 3 mm / C and Cotton Light. Work 4 chain stitches and form them to a ring with 1 slip stitch in the first chain stitch. Work in the round from the row in the diagrams with the arrow as follows: Work A.1a (shows how the rounds start and finish) – READ CROCHET INFO, work A.1b a total of 4 times on the round. REMEMBER THE CROCHET GAUGE! When the diagrams have been completed in height the crochet square measures approx. 21 x 21 cm / 8¼" x 8¼". Work slip stitches as far as the 4th single crochet before the next corner (= 3 chain-spaces before the corner – see star in A.1b). Start on the 3rd round in the diagrams and work as follows: Work A.2a in the single crochet (shows how the round starts and finishes), work A.2b over the next 3 chain-spaces,* work A.2c (= the corner), work A.2b over the next 9 chain-spaces (= 3 repeats) *, repeat from *-* 2 more times, work A.2c in the corner and finish with A.2b over the remaining 6 chain-spaces (= 2 repeats) on the round. When the diagrams have been completed in height, the crochet square measures approx. 34 x 34 cm / 13½" x 13½". The crochet square is now finished for sizes S and M. For sizes L, XL, XXL and XXXL continue as follows: Start on the 2nd round in the diagrams and work A.3a (shows how the round starts and finishes), work A.3b around the whole round but in each corner, work A.3c. When the diagrams have been completed in height, the crochet square measures approx. 39 x 39 cm / 15¼" x 15¼" and the crochet square is now finished for sizes L and XL. I n sizes XXL and XXXL work the last 2 rounds of A.3 1 more time in height (= a total of 2 times in height). The crochet square now measures approx. 43 x 43 cm / 17" x 17" and is finished for sizes XXL and XXXL. Cut the strand. RIGHT SHOULDER: Start on row 2 in the diagrams and work the shoulder back and forth as follows: Work A.4a around the chain-space in corner A – see the sketch, work A.4b over the next 20-20-25-25-25-25 double crochets (= 4-4-5-5-5-5 repeats), work A.4a around the space between the next 2 double crochets. Turn and continue in the same way until the diagrams have been completed in height. Work 2nd–5th rows 1-1-1-2-2-2 more times in height (= a total of 2-2-2-3-3-3 times in height). The shoulder measures approx. 8-8-8-12-12-12 cm / 3"-3"-3"-4¾"-4¾"-4¾" from the crochet square. Cut and fasten the strand. LEFT SHOULDER: Skip 35-35-35-35-45-45 double crochets for the neck after the right shoulder = 20-20-25-25-25-25 double crochets for the left shoulder. Around the space between the next 2 double crochets, fasten the strand with 1 single crochet (= A.4a). Start on the 2nd row in the diagrams and work A.4a (as mentioned above), work A.4b over the next 20-20-25-25-25-25 double crochets (= 4-4-5-5-5-5 repeats), work A.4a around the chain-space in corner B – see sketch. Turn and continue as for the right shoulder. LEFT SIDE (between corners B and C – see sketch): Skip 15 double crochets in all sizes from the chain-space in corner B. Start on the 2nd row in the diagrams and work A.4c over the next 10 double crochets, work A.4b over the next 50-50-60-60-70-70 double crochets, finish with A.4a around the chain-space in corner C on the crochet square (= 12-12-14-14-16-16 chain-spaces). Turn and work back and forth until the 4th row has been completed. You have now decreased 1 chain-space in A.4c = 11-11-13-13-15-15 chain-spaces. Work the 3rd and 4th rows in A.4a and A.4b 0-1-1-2-3-4 more times in height (= 3-5-5-7-9-11 rows with chain-spaces). There are now 11-11-13-13-15-15 chain spaces for the left side. Work the 3rd row from the wrong side as follows: Work A.4a, work A.4b a total of 5-5-6-6-7-7 times in width, work 3 chain stitches and 1 single crochet around the next chain-space. Cut the strand. NOTE: This row is worked to allow the side to slope outwards slightly at the bottom. Fasten the strand with 1 single crochet around the top chain-space in the side seen from the right side (i.e. the chain-space outermost by the armhole), work 3 chain stitches (= 1 double crochet), work 4 double crochets around the same chain-space, work 5 double crochets around each of the next 4-4-5-5-6-6 chain-spaces (= up to the last chain-space worked on the previous row), work 3 double crochets around the next chain-space (there is already a single crochet around this chain-space), continue with 5 double crochets around each of the next 6-6-7-7-8-8 chain-spaces and work 2 double crochets around the last chain-space (= chain-space with 3 chain stitches) = 55-55-65-65-75-75 double crochets. The left side is now finished. Cut and fasten the strand. RIGHT SIDE (between corners A and D – see the sketch): The right side is worked in the same way as the left side but in reverse. Work from the wrong side and skip 15 double crochets from the chain-space in corner A. Do not cut the strand when the last row with double crochets has been finished. CONTINUING DOWN THE BODY: THE PIECE IS NOW MEASURED FROM HERE! You now continue working on down the body over the bottom edge of the sides and the crochet square. Start from the wrong side and work from the 2nd row in the diagrams as follows: Work A.4a, work 3-4-4-5-6-7 repeats of A.4b along the bottom edge on the right side, continue with A.4b over the 75-75-85-85-95-95 double crochets on the crochet square (between corners D and C), work 3-4-4-5-6-7 repeats of A.4b along the bottom edge of the left side and finish with A.4a = 21-23-25-27-31-33 chain-spaces. Work rows 3 and 4 in the diagrams 3 times (= a total of 7 rows with chain-spaces) AT THE SAME TIME as you increase 1 chain-space in each side every time you work row 4 – READ INCREASE TIP = 27-29-31-33-37-39 chain-spaces. The piece measures approx. 7 cm / 2¾". Work the next row from the right side as follows: Work 4 double crochets around each chain-space AT THE SAME TIME as you increase 14-6-13-5-4-11 double crochets evenly along the round = 122-122-137-137-152-167 double crochets. Work from the 2nd row in the diagrams from the wrong side as follows: Work A.2a, work A.2b (= 8-8-9-9-10-11 repeats in width), work A.2a. On the last row in the diagrams, increase 15-25-20-30-35-30 double crochets evenly along the row = 137-147-157-167-187-197 double crochets.

Work from the 2nd row in the diagrams from the wrong side as follows: Work A.4a, work A.4b until there is 1 double crochet left on the row, work A.4a (= 27-29-31-33-37-39 chain-spaces). Work rows 3 and 4 until you have worked a total of 5-7-5-5-5-7 rows with chain-spaces in height. The piece measures approx. 20-22-20-20-20-22 cm / 8"-8¾"-8"-8"-8"-8¾". Work the next row from the right side as follows: Work 4 double crochets around each chain-space AT THE SAME TIME as you increase 14-6-13-5-4-11 double crochets evenly along the row = 122-122-137-137-152-167 double crochets. Start on row 2 in the diagrams and work A.2a, work A.2b (= 8-8-9-9-10-11 times in width), work A.2a.

When the diagrams have been completed in height, the half square measures approx. 34 x 18 cm / 15" x 7". The half square for sizes S and M is now finished. For sizes L, XL, XXL and XXXL continue as follows: Start on the next to last row in the diagrams and work A.5a (the half double crochet on the next to last row is worked around the space between the 3rd and 4th double crochet), then work A.3b for the rest of the row but in each corner work A.3c, finish with A.5b (NOTE: The first half double crochet is worked around the space when there are 9 double crochets left on the row and the second half double crochet is worked around the space when there are 4 double crochets left on the row). When the diagrams have been completed in height, the half square measures approx. 39 x 20 cm / 15¼" x 8" and the half square is now finished for sizes L and XL. For sizes XXL and XXXL work the last 2 rounds 1 more time in height (= a total of 2 times in height).

Hi, I am usually a visual learner and recently i started to crochet reading patterns from redheart.com. They are so simple and easy to understand. THey start with row1 to last row. But i am having a hard time to understand your patterns. They are very pretty but difficult to understand. Can you please explain what is A.1, a.2 etc. Am i supposed to make them separetely and join them at the end? i want to make: DROPS / 178 / 29 Forever Lace vest. Please help
06.02.2018 - 21:40DROPS Design answered:
Dear Mrs Dutta, A.1, A.2 ... are the diagrams you have to work when written pattern requires you to, ie you start with diagram A.1: crochet row 1 in A.1a one time in width, then repeat row 1 in A.1b 4 times in total, then work row 2 in both diagrams and so on until whole diagram has been worked in height. Remmeber for any further assistance with the diagrams your DROPS store will help you, even per mail, telephone or on social medias. Happy crocheting!

Nee precies A. Knol en dat vind ik heel erg zonde. Ik twijfel er geen moment aan dat het een heel werk is om een patroon uit te schrijven en ik ben natuurlijk blij met alle gratis patronen van drops maar zo heeft niemand er iets aan!

Helemaal eens met A. Knol Heel enthousiast begonnen maar na een week puzzelen, uitrekken, opnieuw beginnen en er weer niet uit komen is ook voor mij de lol er af. Patroon is niet te volgen!

Bedankt voor je reactie, maar ik geef het op! Vanaf de derde toer is het echt niet goed aangegeven en klopt bv het aantal lossen niet. De vierde toer doe ik op mijn eigen manier en dat lukt dan wel, maar als het hele patroon zo moeilijk gaat dan is de lol er bij mij vanaf.

De vorige vragenstelster kon wel eens gelijk hebben. Al helemaal in het begin van het vierkant ga ik de mist in met de telling. Is de tekening wel juist ?
28.06.2017 - 20:27DROPS Design answered:
Hoi,' Misschien helpt het als ik even een korte omschrijving maak als opstart :) : Haak 4 lossen en sluit deze met een hv tot een ring. Haak dan 3 lossen (deze vervangt het eerste stokje; dus het stokje welke met een pijl staat aangegeven in A.1.a), lees dan het patroon naar links richting de pijl en haak dus 2 lossen, haak dan volgens het grote ovale symbool Haak 2 stokjes samen om de ring/lossenlus als volgt: haak 1 stokje....enz en ga zo verder met 4 herhalingen van de eerste toer van A.1.b. Op het einde. Eindig de toer met 1 hv (lees ook informatie voor het haken) 1e toer is nu klaar en ga verder met de volgende toer, ook weer 4 herhalingen.

Ik kom niet uit het patroon van het vierkant volgens mij klopt er iets niet heeft u geen duidelijke patroon
24.05.2017 - 22:28DROPS Design answered:
Hallo Emmy, Waar loop je precies tegenaan? Het telpatroon laat 1 hoek van het vierkant zien. Je haakt eerst A.1.a dan brei je 4 x A.1a. Dan ben je weer aan het begin en doe je de volgende toer. Op deze manier brei je A.1 een maal in de hoogte. Je begint rechts onder in het telpatroon (= midden van het vierkant) Boven het telpatroon staat de uitleg van de symbolen.
