Crochet Gauge: width of 12 sc/tr and length of 4 rows of pattern (i.e. 1 row of sc + 1 row tr x 4) using crochet hook size 5 mm/ H/8 = 10 x 10 cm / 4'' x 4''.
Crochet info: At the beginning of each row of sc replace the 1st sc with ch 1, and at the beginning of each row of tr replace the first tr with ch 4. Finish each row of sc with 1 sc in 4th ch from beginning of previous row. Finish each row of tr with 1 tr in 1st ch from previous row.
Pattern: *1 row of sc, 1 row of tr*, repeat from *-* until finished measurements. Note! Crochet in each st and not in between.
Decreasing tips: Only dec in rows of tr. Decreasing several tr:

Dec as follows at end of row: Turn the piece when number of tr to be dec are left on row.
Decreasing 1 tr:
Dec 1 tr by crocheting 2 tr together as follows: crochet 1 tr but wait with last yo and pull through (= 2 st on hook), crochet 1 tr and pull thread through all sts on hook.
Increasing tips: Increase 1 sc/tr by crocheting 2 sc/tr in last st from previous row. Increase several sc/tr as follows: At the end of the row of sc before increases are to be made, crochet ch corresponding number of tr to be increased + 4 ch to turn with – i.e. if you are to increase 4 tr crochet ch 7, turn the piece, crochet 1 tr in 5th ch from the hook and then 1 tr in each of the next ch 2, continue on row.

Bonjour Mme Parizet, il n'y a pas de diagrammes pour ce modèle, lisez attentivement les explications et n'hésitez pas à poser une question si besoin. Bon crochet!
05.04.2018 kl. 11:17Ik wil graag verder met het linker voorpand, dat ik gespiegeld van het rechtervoorpand moet haken. Maar, hoe doe ik de meerderingen aan het begin. In de instructie staat alleen het meerderen aan het eind van een tr. Het gaat met name om de meerderingen van 4 en 3 dst, de enkele lukt wel. Ik hoor het graag!

Hoi Madelon, Dit staat inderdaad niet duidelijk beschreven in de instructies. Misschien heb je wat aan deze video, waarin uitgelegd wordt hoe je steken opzet tijdens het haken. Dit kun je namelijk ook gebruiken bij het meerderen aan het eind van de toer.
17.06.2017 kl. 19:47Hallo, ich arbeite gerade an der Jacke 95/35. Im Vorderteil habe ich Maschen angeschlagen und soll dann Erhöhen zur inneren Mitte...

Liebe Frau Wilms, die Zunahmen gegen Mitte werden wie im Video unten gehäkelt, siehe auch 3Beim Zunehmen mehrerer D-Stb" am Anfang der Anleitung. Viel Spaß beim häkeln!
29.03.2017 kl. 09:18Hallo, herzliche Danke für soviel tolle Anleitungen. Eigentlich komme ich auch ganz gut klar, aber bei dieser klappt es nicht so ... Können Sie mir bitte erklären, wie das mit dem " Erhöhen zur inneren Mitte" geht. Das wäre echt toll. Vielen Dank und liebe Grüße

Dear Frau Wilms, können Sie bitte erklären, im welchem Teil Sie in der Anleitung sind, bzw welches Teil Sie nicht richtig verstehen? Danke im voraus.
27.03.2017 kl. 10:03Ik ben bezig met het achterpand op de hoogte van 12 cm, waar ik moet meerderen. Er staat dat ik aan elke kant 9cm (m) in totaal 3 keer moet meerderen. Je gaat dan van 52 dst naar 58dst. Of het aantal steken of het aantal cm klopt niet.
18.03.2017 - 23:27DROPS Design answered:
Hoi Marielle. Je meerdert 1 stk aan beide zijkanten 3 keer = 6 nieuwe stokjes: 52+6 = 58 stokjes. Je meerdert op elke 8 cm voor maat S (52 stokjes), dus op 12 cm, dan op 20 en laatste keer op 28 cm.
20.03.2017 kl. 13:25Merci de m'avoir répondu et rapidement en plus. Je vais regarder tout ça.
07.09.2016 - 22:37Je fais suite à mon message plus. si vous pensez que cela n'ira pas, pouvez vous alors me conseiller : 1) avec quel fil moins onéreux je pourrai réaliser cette veste 2) quel autre gilet pourrai je réaliser avec le fil DROPS BRUSHED ALPACA SILK UNI
07.09.2016 - 14:41DROPS Design answered:
Bonjour Mme Hochet, vous pouvez calculer d'après les liens du message précédents quelle qualité choisir. Vous trouverez ici et là des modèles de gilets et de vestes en groupe du fil C. Votre magasin DROPS saura vous conseiller le meilleur choix si besoin. Bon crochet!
07.09.2016 kl. 15:49Bonjour. Pensez vous que je pourrais faire le modèle de veste DROPS 95-35 by DROPS Design Veste Drops au crochet et Haut de Bikini en Paris, Brushed Alpaca Silk et Safran uniquement avec le fil DROPS Brushed Alpaca Silk. cela aura t il le même effet, ou n'aura t il pas le même maintien. Je débute au crochet et vos conseils sont précieux. Merci
07.09.2016 - 12:39DROPS Design answered:
Bonjour Mme Hochet, la veste se crochète entièrement en Paris, on utilise Brushed Alpaca Silk uniquement pour la bordure et Safran pour les boutons. Le haut de bikini se fait uniquement en Safran. Paris est du groupe C vous pouvez la remplacer par un autre fil du groupe C ou 2 fils du groupe A - voir aussi ici. Bon crochet!
07.09.2016 kl. 13:54I am making the size XL and working on the right side. My stitch counts do not equal 17 as stated at the end of the directions for the right side, I have 15. I have torn out my work and recalculated the pattern repeatedly and cannot make it come out to 17. Is there an error in the pattern, or did I do something wrong?
21.04.2016 - 06:59DROPS Design answered:
Dear Mrs Wilkowske, you should dec for neck only 2 tr 1 time and 1 tr 1 time = 17 sts in size XL for shoulder. Pattern will be edited asap. Thank you. Happy crocheting!
21.04.2016 kl. 09:43Hej! Jag blir tokig, jag virkar i garnet Paris virknål nr5, garnet delar sig hela tiden när jag skall göra dubbelstolpar. Finns det något tips? /Eva

Hej Eva, Se till att nystanet får rulla fritt, men annars brukar vi inte ha problem med att det delar sig. Lycka till!
