TOP – SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE:
The piece consists of granny squares, which are crocheted together to finish.

Work squares in different COLOUR COMBINATIONS – read description above. Fasten or work in the strands as you go.

Work 5-6-9-10-12 squares in each colour combination, in size L work 2 extra squares (squares 1 and 2), in size XL/XXL work 4 extra squares (squares 1, 2, 3 and 4) = 30-36-56-64-72 squares on the front and back pieces.
Then work smaller squares for the straps, just working the first 3 rounds in A.1 (round 4 is not worked).
Work 1-1-1-1-2 squares in each colour combination, but always working round 3 with colour off white.
Sizes XS/S - M - L: Work 2 extra squares (squares 1 and 2)
Size XL/XXL: Work 4 extra squares (squares 1, 2, 3 and 4) = 8-8-10-10-12 small squares.
ASSEMBLY:
The large squares are crocheted together into a rectangle for the front and back pieces. Lay the squares out in your chosen order, with 3-3-4-4-4 squares in height and 10-12-14-16-18 squares in width – see photo for inspiration. Crochet the squares together width-wise, then upwards. Start on the right side, with the first square on the top and second row.
Lay the squares wrong side to wrong side. Work through both layers with colour off white, from the right side as follows: 1 double crochet around the 3 chain stitches in the corner, * 3 chain stitches, skip 1 treble crochet group, 1 double crochet between the next 2 treble crochet groups *, work from *-* 3 times, finish with 3 chain stitches, skip a treble crochet group, work 1 double crochet around the corner and 3 chain stitches. Lay the next 2 squares from the top and second row wrong side to wrong side. Crochet them together in the same way as the first 2 squares.
Continue until all the squares in the top 2 rows have been worked together.
Sizes XS/S - M: Crochet the bottom row together to the 2 top rows in the same way.
Sizes L - XL/XXL and XXXL: Work the next 2 rows to the 2 top rows in the same way.
Crochet the squares together in height, in the same way. When all the squares have been crocheted together, crochet the sides together. Cut and fasten the strands.
Crochet 4-4-5-5-6 small squares together in a row in the same way. Repeat for the second strap.
Lay the top flat, with either a half or whole square on each side, the rectangle has been crocheted together mid-back.
Place the 2 straps at the top, 5 ½-8½-12-15-19 cm in from each side, with 15-16-17-18-19 cm between the 2 straps mid-front. Sew the straps to the top front and back. Try on the top and adjust the number of small squares if necessary.
CROCHET EDGES:
Work an edge around the bottom with colour off white as follows: 1 double crochet around the 3 chain stitches in a corner of a square, * 3 chain stitches, skip 1 treble crochet group, 1 double crochet between the next 2 treble crochet groups *, work from *-* 3 times, finish with 3 chain stitches, skip a treble crochet group and 1 double crochet around the corner, work 2 chain stitches, 1 double crochet around the 3 chain stitches in the corner of the next square.

Hallo , Zou het kunnen dat er een foutje in het patroon zit ? \r\n=> als je voor de maat L : 1 klein vierkant in elke kleurcombinatie haakt + 2 extra (vierkant 1+2) , kom je maar aan 8 vierkantjes en je zou er 5 moeten hebben per bandje (samen 10) Groetjes Evi

Dag Evi,
Vermoedelijk zit er een foutje in het patroon en ik denk dat het of 8 of 10 vierkantjes moeten zijn. Ik heb het aan de ontwerpafdeling doorgegeven om te checken. Om verder te kunnen zou je voor jezelf kunnen kijken welk aantal het beste in jouw geval past door het kledingstuk te passen.
23.05.2023 kl. 10:23Woodstock weekend edging Is it chain 3 over the treble stitches or 3 single crochet? I have gaps. I could send a picture to show you. Please help. Can you show me close up picture?

Dear Laura, in this video, we show how to crochet such a square (with just one color, but you then just have to change color, the technique will be the same). It should help you to understand how to work diagram. Happy crocheting!
04.05.2023 kl. 08:25Wie nähe ich die Träger fest?
27.04.2023 - 08:09DROPS Design answered:
Liebe Frau Vogler, die Quadraten von den Trägern häkeln Sie wie beim Topp zusammen und dann häkeln Sie die Träger am Vorder- bzw Rückenteil zusammen, wie Sie die Quadrate davor zusammengehäkelt haben. Viel Spaß beim häkeln!
27.04.2023 kl. 08:30Nella taglia M, quanti quadrati di 3 giri per ogni spallina? Grazie tanto lucia
21.04.2023 - 15:45DROPS Design answered:
Buonasera Lucia, come indicato nelle spiegaziono, per la spallina della taglia M deve lavorare 1 quadrato per ogni combinazione di colore e poi ancora 1 quadrato per le combinazioni 1 e 2, per un totale di 8 quadrati per le 2 spalline. Buon lavoro!
26.04.2023 kl. 17:06Bonjour, Le top sur la photo est-il crocheté en suivant les instructions écrites (1 maille serrée entre chaque groupe de brides, correspondant au tutoriel vidéo "Comment crocheter 2 carrés ensemble"), ou bien en suivant les instructions du tutoriel vidéo "Comment crocheter des carrés ensemble avec des mailles coulées" ? J'hésite entre ces deux méthodes pour assembler tous mes carrés entre eux. Une méthode est-elle plus adaptée à cet ouvrage ? Merci !
21.04.2023 - 15:12DROPS Design answered:
Bonjour Axelle, on assemble les carrés en suivant la technique de cette vidéo, autrement dit, on crochète 1 maille serrée dans les 2 carrés et 3 ml entre chaque maille serrée - mais vous pouvez également utiliser l'autre technique, au choix. Bonnes finitions!
24.04.2023 kl. 09:19Buonasera, avete un video dove posso vedere come attaccare i quadrati di questo modello “ Woodstock Weekend” come descritto nello schema. Grazie di tutto lucia
