------------------------------------------------------- EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN: ------------------------------------------------------- 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 single crochet is wide. CROCHET INFORMATION: At the beginning of each round of double crochets, replace the first double crochet with 3 chain stitches; i.e. skip the first stitch on the previous round. Finish the round with 1 slip stitch in the 3rd chain stitch at the beginning of the round. INCREASE TIP-1 (evenly spaced): To work out how to increase evenly, count the number of double crochets on the round (e.g. 58 double crochets) and divide by the number of increases to be made (e.g. 6) = 9.6. In this example, increase by working 2 double crochets in the same double crochet alternately in the 9th and 10th double crochet STRIPES: 2 rounds with 1 strand off-white and 1 strand purple 2 rounds with 1 strand off-white and 1 strand cerise 2 rounds with 1 strand off-white and 1 strand curry 2 rounds with 1 strand off-white and 1 strand black 2 rounds with 1 strand off-white and 1 strand powder pink 2 rounds with 1 strand off-white and 1 strand coral 2 rounds with 1 strand off-white and 1 strand black 2 rounds with 1 strand off-white and 1 strand forest green Repeat the 16 rounds to finished length. RAGLAN: Increase 16 double crochets as follows: Increase to raglan in each transition between body and sleeves as follows: Work until there are 2 double crochets left before the marker thread, work 3 double crochets in the next double crochet, work 1 double crochet in each of the next 2 double crochets (marker thread sits between these 2 double crochets), work 3 double crochets in the next double crochet (= 4 double crochets increased). A total of 16 double crochets increased on each increase-round. Increase 8 double crochets as follows: Increase raglan in each transition between body and sleeves as follows: Work until there are 2 double crochets left before the marker thread, work 2 double crochets in the next double crochet, work 1 double crochet in each of the next 2 double crochets (marker thread sits between these 2 double crochets), work 2 double crochets in the next double crochet (= 2 double crochets increased). A total of 8 double crochets increased on each increase-round. DECREASE TIP (for sleeves): Decrease 1 double crochet on each side of the marker thread as follows: Work until there are 3 double crochets left before the marker thread, work 2 DOUBLE CROCHETS TOGETHER – read description below, work 1 double crochet in each of the next 2 double crochets (marker thread sits between these 2 double crochets), work 2 double crochets together. WORK 2 DOUBLE CROCHETS TOGETHER: * Make 1 yarn over, insert the hook through the next stitch, pick up the strand, make 1 yarn over and pull the strand through the first 2 loops on the hook *, work from *-* 1 more time, make 1 yarn over and pull the strand through all 3 loops on the hook (= 1 double crochet decreased). ------------------------------------------------------- START THE PIECE HERE: ------------------------------------------------------- SWEATER – SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE: The piece is worked in the round, top down. The sleeves are worked in the round, top down. NECK: Work 58-60-62-66-68-72 chain stitches – read CHAIN STITCH, with hook size 5.5 mm = I/9 and 1 strand black and 1 strand forest green (= 2 strands); form them into a ring with 1 slip stitch in the first chain stitch. Work 3 chain stitches (= 1 double crochet) – read CROCHET INFORMATION, work 1 double crochet in each chain stitch to end of round = 58-60-62-66-68-72 double crochets. Work 1 round of double crochets and, at the same time, increase 6-12-10-10-12-12 double crochets evenly spaced – read INCREASE TIP = 64-72-72-76-80-84 double crochets. Insert 4 marker threads in the piece as follows (without working the stitches): Insert 1 marker thread at the beginning of the round, the second marker thread after the first 22-26-26-28-30-32 double crochets (= back piece), the third after the next 10 double crochets (= sleeve) and the fourth marker thread after the next 22-26-26-28-30-32 double crochets (= front piece). There are 10 double crochets left to the first marker thread (= sleeve). THE PIECE IS NOW MEASURED FROM HERE! YOKE: Continue with double crochets and STRIPES – read description above, AT THE SAME TIME on the first round increase to RAGLAN in each transition between body and sleeves – read description above, on every round as follows: Increase 16 double crochets a total of 3-3-4-4-4-5 times, then 8 double crochets a total of 11-12-12-14-15-15 times – REMEMBER THE CROCHET GAUGE! After the final increase there are 200-216-232-252-264-284 double crochets on the round and the piece measures approx. 20-21-23-26-27-29 cm = 8"-8¼"-9"-10¼"-10⅝"-11⅜" from the neck mid back. Continue working until the piece measures 22-24-26-28-30-32 cm = 8¾"-9½"-10¼"-11"-11¾"-12½". The next round is worked as follows: Work 57-62-67-73-78-85 double crochets (= back piece), 6-6-6-6-8-8 loose chain stitches (= in side under sleeve), skip 42-46-48-52-52-54 double crochets (= sleeve), work 58-62-68-74-80-88 double crochets (= front piece), 6-6-6-6-8-8 loose chain stitches (= in side under sleeve), skip 42-46-48-52-52-54 double crochets (= sleeve), work 1-0-1-1-2-3 double crochets (= back piece) and finish with 1 slip stitch in the 3rd chain stitch at the beginning of the round. Body and sleeves are finished separately. THE PIECE IS NOW MEASURED FROM HERE! BODY: Continue in the round with double crochets and stripes. Work 1 double crochet in each of the 6-6-6-6-8-8 chain stitches under the sleeves = 128-136-148-160-176-192 double crochets. Continue working until the piece measures 33 cm = 13" from the division in all sizes – adjust to after a complete stripe (= 2 rounds). Cut and fasten the strands. The sweater measures approx. 58-60-62-64-66-68 cm = 22¾"-23⅝"-24⅜"-25¼"-26"-26¾" from the shoulder down. SLEEVE: Continue in the round with double crochets and stripes . Start working in the 4th-4th-4th-4th-5th-5th chain stitch in the 6-6-6-6-8-8 chain stitches under the sleeve as follows: Work 1 slip stitch, 3 chain stitches (= 1 double crochet), 1 double crochet in each of the next 2-2-2-2-3-3 chain stitches, 1 double crochet in each double crochet and finish with 1 double crochet in each of the last 3-3-3-3-4-4 chain stitches under the sleeve = 48-52-54-58-60-62 double crochets. Insert 1 marker thread at the beginning of the round. When you have worked 2 rounds from the division, decrease 2 double crochets mid under the sleeve – read DECREASE TIP. Decrease like this every round a total of 6-6-6-7-7-6 times = 36-40-42-44-46-50 double crochets. Continue working until the sleeve measures 39-38-36-34-33-31 cm = 15¼"-15"-14¼"-13⅜"-13"-12¼" from the division (or to desired length; there is approx. 6 cm = 2⅜" left to finished length – NOTE: Shorter measurements in larger sizes due to wider neck and longer yoke) – adjust to after a complete stripe (= 2 rounds). Now work an edge interrupting the color-repeats (or maintaining them if you wish; there are 4 rounds left to finished length) as follows: Work 2 rounds with 1 strand off-white and 1 strand purple (= 2 strands) and finish with 2 rounds with 1 strand off-white and 1 strand cerise (= 2 strands). Cut and fasten the strands. The sleeve measures approx. 45-44-42-40-39-37 cm = 17¾"-17¼"-16½"-15¾"-15¼"-14½" from the division. Work the other sleeve in the same way. NECK: Start mid back with 1 strand black and 1 strand forest green (= 2 strands) and fasten the strands with 1 slip stitch in a single crochet, work 1 chain stitch (= 1 single crochet), 1 single crochet in each double crochet to end of round and finish with 1 slip stitch in the chain stitch at the beginning of the round = 58-60-62-66-68-72 single crochets. Cut and fasten the strands. |
