Crochet Gauge: width of 17 tr and 6 rows on crochet hook size 4 = 10 x 10 cm = 4” x 4”.
NB: Because of different crochet techniques used by the individual, the gauge may vary, so you might have to drop/go up a hook size to obtain the correct gauge.
Crochet info: At the beginning of each row replace the 1st tr with 4 ch, and finish each row with 1 tr in 4th ch from beginning of previous row. Crochet in each st and not in between.
Decreasing tips (applies to side): Because you increase 2 tr continuously mid front, you need to dec 1 tr each side to keep number of sts constant. When you then have to dec each side to decrease number of sts, do this by dec 1 extra tr each side. Dec 1 tr by crocheting 2 tr together as follows: crochet 1 tr but wait with last yo and pull through (= 2 sts on hook), crochet 1 tr and pull thread through all 3 sts on hook.
Increasing tips: Inc sts at the bottom of armhole each side as follows: Crochet a chain of ch at the end of the row before the row you need to increase on. Crochet 16-22-22-24-34 ch, turn the piece and crochet back as follows: 1 tr in the 6th ch from hook, *skip 1 ch, 1 tr in next ch*, repeat from *-* = 7-10-10-11-16 tr increased for armhole. Continue as before with 1 tr in each tr from previous row.
Front piece: The top is crochet from top down. Crochet 36-38-40-44-46 ch using crochet hook size 4 and Cotton Viscose or Baby Merino.
Crochet the 1st row as follows: 1 tr in the 5th ch from the hook, 1 tr in each of the next 14-15-16-18-19 ch, 3 tr in next ch, 1 tr in each of the remaining 16-17-18-20-21 ch = 35-37-39-43-45 tr. Insert a marking thread in the middle tr.
Read all of the following section before continuing.
Crochet tr’s – read Crochet info.
Sloping effect: At the same time inc mid front to obtain a sloping effect by crocheting 3 tr in the tr with the marking thread – continue the increase on every row.
Armhole: At the same time inc for armhole each side on every row by crocheting an extra tr in the outermost tr each side a total of 5-5-6-7-7 times (after the last inc, insert a new marking thread in piece and measure piece from this point form now on). Crochet 7-10-10-11-16 new tr – see Increasing tips above – for armhole. After all inc for armhole there are 71-79-85-95-107 tr on row. Continue with tr's as before with increases mid front but now dec at side to keep number of sts constant – see Decreasing tips. At the same time when piece measures approx 7-7-8-8-10 cm = 2 3/4”-2 3/4”-3 1/8”-3 1/8”-4” (from the new marking thread) dec 1 extra tr each side on every other row a total of 4 times – see Decreasing tips = 63-71-77-87-99 tr. When piece measures approx 22-23-23-24-25 cm = 8 3/4”-9”-9”-9 1/2”-9 3/4” (the increases at sides are now finished) continue over the 63-71-77-87-99 tr with 1 tr in each tr, i.e. discontinue increases mid front and decreases at sides. When piece measures approx 38-39-39-40-41 cm = 15”-15 1/4”-15 1/4”-15 3/4”-16 1/8” cut the thread – piece measures approx 48-49-51-53-54 cm = 19”-19 1/4”-20”-21”-21 1/4” where widest.
Back piece: Crochet as front piece.
Assembly: Sew side seams.
Crochet border: Crochet a border round neckline on front and back pieces using crochet hook size 6 mm = US J/10 and Vienna or Melody as follows: 1 sl st in first tr, 1 ch, 1 sc in between 1st and 2nd tr, *1 ch, 1 sc between the next 2 tr*, repeat from *-* and finish with a sl st in last tr on row.
Shoulder straps: Crochet 1 sl st at the top on the right side of back piece, crochet a chain of ch approx 12-14-14-14-16 cm = 4 3/4”-5 1/2”-5 1/2”-5 1/2”-6 1/4” long (or desired length, try on the top), attach with 1 sl st at the top on the right side of front piece. Crochet another chain (to make the strap double) and attach with a sl st on back piece. Repeat on left side.

Bonjour, je suis bloquée pour les augmentations.. faire une chaînette à chaque fin de rang mais le rang avant les augmentations.., ok mais si c’est en fin de rang pour les 2 augmentations il y a un décalage d’un rang entre le côté droit et le côté gauche. Pouvez vous m’expliquer ? Par avance merci

Bonjour Sylvaine, cette différence ne se verra qu'à peine à la fin, mais si vous préférez, vous pouvez couper le fil en fin de rang, et commencer le rang suivant par le nombre de chainettes à faire pour augmenter, crocheter le rang comme avant et terminer par les mailles en l'air des augmentations, ainsi vous aurez vos deux augmentations exactement au même niveau. Bon crochet!
13.05.2022 kl. 16:26Habe 36 lm angeschlagen, dann in jeder Reihe in die mittlere Masche 3 Datei gehäkelt und 5 x in jeder 2. Reihe am Anfang und am Ende je 1 Masche verdoppelt. Habe jetzt 65 Maschen. Wenn ich die je 7 dst für Arm dazurechne komme ich auf 78 dst beschrieben werden 71 was mache ich falsch?

Liebe Frau Esselborn, Sie beginnen mit 35 DStb, nehmen in der Mitte 2 DStb bei jeder Reihe x 6 Reihe = 12 Zunahmen, nehmen beidseitig 1 DStb 5 x zu (= 10 Zunahmen) und nehmen beidseitig 7 DStb zu (= 14 Zunahmen) = 35+12+10+14=71 Doppelstäbchen. Viel Spaß beim häkeln!
29.06.2021 kl. 15:54Ya he leído los típs de aumento de las sisas, pero no entiendo cómo hacer la segunda porque si lo hago como dice la segunda sisa aumenta en la siguiente vuelta. Gracias
14.02.2021 - 00:47Ich bräuchte dringend Hilfe. Und zwar bin ich im letzten Abschnitt und hier steht das die Zu und Abnahmen beendet sind. Bedeutet das, dass man jetzt auch in der Mitte keine 2 zusätzlichen Stäbchen mehr häkelt und am Rand 2 zusammen häkelt??

Liebe Frau Basting, ja genau, jetzt häkeln Sie einfach 1 Doppelstäbchen in jedes Doppelstäbchen. Viel Spaß beim häkeln!
08.02.2021 kl. 09:43Ich verstehe leider die Rechnung der ersten Reihe nicht! Wie komme ich bei 40 angeschlagenen Lm bei der ersten Reihe auf 39 Stb?

Liebe Lydia, Sie haben 40 Luftmaschen und häkeln 1 Doppel-Stb in die 5. Lm von der Nadel (= 2 Doppel-Stb), 1 Doppel-Stb in jeder der nächsten 16 Lm (= 16 Doppel-Stb), 3 Doppel-Stb in die nächste Lm, 1 Doppel-Stb in jeder der letzten 18 Lm = 2+16+3+18=39Doppel-Stb . Viel Spaß beim häkeln!
13.08.2020 kl. 16:44As with earlier question from Mary...I can’t seem to increase under arm evenly... I can complete on one side , but when I continue with the dtr’s I don’t know what to do for the other side as I am one row further on. So the increase for under arm will be lower on one side than the other. If some can help I would be very grateful. I can’t seem to comprehend. Mandy, Aussie in France 🇫🇷

Dear Mandy, are you talking about the chains cast on on each side for the armholes? If you want them on the same row, cut the y arn at the end of previous row, turn piece (to keep texture alternately from RS and from WS), cast on the number of chains for your size, continue working on piece as before and cast on the number of chains for your size, then work the new stitches for armholes as explained. Happy crocheting!
06.07.2020 kl. 08:44In genere mi trovo benissimo con i vostri modelli, ma questo schema è veramente poco chiaro. Almeno in italiano. Peccato... perché il top è carino ed è un modello non facile da trovare....
23.05.2020 - 23:08Bonjour il y a un problème dans vos explications,pour les augmentations, doit on augmenter de 1 DB à la fin de chaque rang ou de 2 DB : 1 au début et 1 à la fin chaque rang. si on augmente de 1 DB 6 fois (pour la taille M) on obtient 6 rang donc 6 augmentations + les 2 du milieu çà fait un total de 12 (2x6) +6 = 18....donc plus les 39 de départ çà fait 57, en rajoutant les 10 des emmanchures x2 (car on a 2 bras ;-) çà fait 77 , pouvez vous expliquer comment on arrive à 85 DB ? merci.
11.05.2020 - 16:43DROPS Design answered:
Bonjour Virginie, en taille M/L on commence par 39 m et on augmente 2 DB pour la pointe tous les rangs (= 7 rangs = on augmente 14 DB), en même temps, vous augmentez 6 fois 1 DB de chaque côté (+ 12 m) puis (7ème rang) 2 x 10 DB (= +20 DB), soit: 39+14+12+20=85 double-brides. Bon crochet!
11.05.2020 kl. 16:59How do I complete the underarm increase on the otherside Arrowheart crochet top. I have tried various techniques but have not found a satisfactory one and the pattern I'm afraid falls short of explanation.
06.05.2020 - 14:08DROPS Design answered:
Dear Mary, I'm sorry I'm afraid I misudnerstand your question - you have to increase for armholes by crocheting an extra dtr (= 2 dtr in the same dtr) on each side a total of 5 to 7 times (see size) on every row, ie you will increase 2 sts on each of these rows. Then continue increasing on mid front but now decrease at the sides as explained under Decreasing tips to get the correct number of sts. Hope this helps. Happy crocheting!
