PATTERN:
See diagrams A.1-A.8.
CROCHET TIP:
Ch-spaces will contract more than crochet pattern at the upper part of body. The jacket will thus be naturally rounded without dec in pattern.

Then work left shoulder as follows:
Work 54-66-79-92 ch with Cotton Merino on hook size 3 mm / C. Continue with 1 tr in 4th ch from hook = 2 tr. Continue to work as follows: 1 tr in each of the next 1-6-5-4 ch, * skip ch 1, 1 tr in each of the next 6 ch *, repeat from *-* 7-8-10-12 times in total = 45-56-67-78 tr for left shoulder.
Then work 43 LOOSE ch before continuing over right shoulder (i.e. the ch-row): Continue with 1 tr in the first 2 ch on row = 2 tr. Continue to work as follows: 1 tr in each of the next 1-6-5-4 ch, * skip ch 1, 1 tr in each of the next 6 ch *, repeat from *-* 7-8-10-12 times in total = 45-56-67-78 tr for right shoulder.

On next row work as follows (= RS): A.1, then work A.2 11-13-15-17 times in total, and finish with A.3. Continue as follows. When piece measures 19-21-23-24 cm / 7½"-8 1/4"-9"-9½", insert a marker each side to mark armholes, AT THE SAME TIME when A.1, A.2 and A.3 have been worked 1 time vertically, repeat A.Y until piece measures approx. 27-29-31-33 cm / 10½"-11½"-12 1/4"-13". Adjust pattern according to front pieces. Then work ch-spaces with 5 ch in every space as follows from RS: Continue with 1ST ROW in A.Z. Repeat the 4 rows in A.Z until piece measures 51-55-57-61 cm / 10½"-11½"-12 1/4"-13" in total – adjust according to front pieces.
Work an edge at the bottom of body as on front pieces. Fasten off. Put piece aside. Piece measures approx. 56-58-62-66 cm / 22"-22 3/4"-24½"-26". Sew shoulder seams on front pieces and back piece tog.

Continue with pattern from 2nd row in diagram A.Z, AT THE SAME TIME at beg of the next 2 rows dec 1 ch-space in the side – See diagram A.7 for left side of sleeve, and A.8 for right side of sleeve. 20-24-25-26 ch-spaces remain. Repeat the same dec at beg of the next 2-4-4-4 rows = 18-20-21-22 ch-spaces remain. Continue with ch-spaces as before, AT THE SAME TIME dec as follows: for S/M dec 1 ch-space in each side of sleeve when piece measures 15 cm / 6'', and for sizes L - XL/XXL – XXXL dec 1 ch-space in each side of sleeve when piece measures 13-12-11 cm / 5"-4 3/4"-4½" and 1 ch-space in each side when piece measures 19-18-15 cm / 7½"-7"-6" = 16-16-17-18 ch-spaces remain. Continue until sleeve measures 27-25-23-20 cm / 10½"-9 3/4"-9"-8" (shorter measurements in the larger sizes because of wider shoulders), and adjust to finish on next to last row in A.Z (i.e. a row with whole ch-spaces in each side of piece). Then work an edge as follows: Beg on 1st row in A.X (= row with ch-spaces, and half ch-spaces in each side of piece) and work this pattern over all ch-spaces at the bottom of sleeve. Continue back and forth until 6th row in A.X has been worked (i.e. 2nd row in with tr-groups). Fasten off.
