------------------------------------------------------- EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN: ------------------------------------------------------- CROCHET INFORMATION: First treble crochet at the beginning of each row is replaced by 3 chain stitches. INCREASE TIP: Increase 1 treble crochet by working 2 treble crochets in same treble crochet. Increase 2 stitches by working as shown in A.4 on right front piece and A.5 on left front piece – NOTE: First double treble crochet at beginning of each row is replaced by 4 chain stitches. DECREASE TIP (for sides): Decrease 1 treble crochet by working 2 treble crochets together as follows: * Make 1 yarn over, insert hook through next stitch, pick up strand, 1 yarn over and pull strand through the first 2 loops on hook *, work from *-* 1 more time, make 1 yarn over and pull strand through all 3 loops on hook(= 1 treble crochet decreased). PATTERN: See diagrams A.1 to A.7. (A.6 shows how rounds start and finish). INCREASE/DECREASE TIP (evenly spaced): To work out how to decrease/increase evenly, count the total number of stitches, (e.g. 68 stitches) and divide by number of decreases/increases to be made (e.g. 4) = 17. In this example, decrease by working together each 16th and 17th stitch. When increasing work 2 treble crochets in each 17th treble crochet. ------------------------------------------------------- START THE PIECE HERE: ------------------------------------------------------- TOP - SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE: Front and back pieces are worked back and forth separately, top down. The pieces are sewn together, and then you work fans along the bottom edge. The sleeves are worked back and forth, top down as far as the armholes, and then worked in the round. A small decorative edge is worked along the front pieces/back piece/neck. The top is wrapped around by placing the right front piece on top of the left front piece and then tying around the waist.
