CROCHET INFO:
Replace first tr at beg of every tr row/round with 3 ch. Finish a round with tr with 1 sl st in 3rd ch.
Replace first dc at beg of every dc row/round with 1 ch. Finish a round with 1 sl st in ch from beg of round.
Replace first triple tr at beg on round with 5 ch. Finish a round with 1 sl st in 5th ch
DECREASE TIP:
Dec 1 tr by working 2 tr tog as follows: Work 1 tr but wait with last pull through (= 2 sts on hook), then work next tr but on last pull through, pull yarn through all 3 sts on hook.
----------------------------------------------------------
TOP:
Worked in several parts. First work front piece, then 2 triangles that are put tog for back piece, then work the body downwards.
FRONT PIECE:
Work 175-194-213-237-266-295 ch on hook size 3.5 mm with Cotton Light. Turn and work 1 tr in fourth ch from hook (= 2 tr), * skip 1 ch, 1 tr in each of the next 5 ch *, repeat from *-* and finish by skipping 1 ch, 1 tr in each of the last 2-3-4-4-3-2 ch = 144-160-176-196-220-244 tr. Turn piece. Front piece is now worked back and forth over the first 72-80-88-98-110-122 tr on row. READ CROCHET INFO! Work 1 tr in every tr AT THE SAME TIME dec 1 tr in each side on every row - READ DECREASE TIP. Dec 16-18-19-21-22-24 times in total in each side = 40-44-50-56-66-74 tr, piece now measures approx. 17-19-20-22-23-25 cm. Now work only over the first 10-11-13-15-19-22 tr on row (= from RS) as follows: Work 1 tr in every tr while AT THE SAME TIME dec 1 tr in each side of piece = 8-9-11-13-17-20 tr. Work 1 row more the same way = 6-7-9-11-15-18 tr. Then work 1 tr in every tr, the dec towards mid front is now done, but continue to dec 1 st in the side (towards armhole) on every row 2-3-5-7-11-14 more times = 4 tr remain on strap in all sizes. Continue with 1 tr in every tr until piece measures 40-44-48-52-56-60 cm from ch-row. Fasten off. Repeat in the opposite side but now work over the last 10-11-13-15-19-22 tr on row. The 20-22-24-26-28-30 tr in the middle of piece not worked = neck.
BACK PIECE:
Back piece consists of two triangles that are sewn tog.
TRIANGLE 1 (top part of back): Work 33 ch on hook size 3.5 mm with Cotton Light. Turn and work 1 dc in second ch from hook (= 2 dc), work 1 dc in each of the next 3 ch, * skip 1 ch, 1 dc in each of the next 5 ch *, repeat from *-* and finish by skipping 1 ch, 1 dc in each of the last 3 ch = 28 dc. Turn and work according to A.1. Cut the yarn when triangle is done and put it aside.
TRIANGLE 2: This is worked in the same tr-row as front piece. Skip 22-26-30-35-41-47 tr (= armhole) after last tr on front piece. Work 1 dc in each of the next 28 tr, turn and work back and forth according to A.1 (22-26-30-35-41-47 tr remain on row after A.1 = armhole). When this triangle is done, sew them tog in the tip.
BODY:
Worked top down, on underside of ch-row from front and back piece. First work back and forth, then work in the round.
From RS: Beg in first ch, work 3 ch (= 1 tr), then work 1 tr in bottom edge of every tr from tr-row = 144-160-176-196-220-244 tr.
ROW 1 (WS):
Work 1 dc in every tr, AT THE SAME TIME adjust no of sts to 144-168-180-192-216-240 dc.
ROW 2 (RS): Work A.2 A (= 6 sts), work A.2 B over the next 132-156-168-180-204-228 sts, work A.2 C (= 6 sts). Work A.2 back and forth one time vertically. On last row in A.2 work 1 sl st at beg of round, now work piece in the round.
ROUND 1: Work sl st until 1st ch-loop and now work after A.3 A: Work as follows in every ch-space: 1 tr + 2 ch + 1 tr + 2 ch. In every tr-group work as follows: 1 tr in second tr, 2 ch, 1 tr in 4th tr, 2 ch, 1 tr in 6th tr, 2 ch, BUT 4-2-5-8-6-12 times evenly on round work according to A.3 B: Work as follows in every ch-space: 1 tr + 2 ch + 1 tr + 2 ch. In every tr-group work as follows: 1 tr in 2nd tr, 2 ch, 1 tr in 3rd tr, 2 ch, 1 tr in 5th tr, 2 ch, 1 tr in 6th tr, 2 ch (work 4 tr in fan instead of 3) = 64-72-80-88-96-112 tr with 2 sts between every tr. Finish round with 1 sl st in 3rd ch from beg of round.
Then work according to A.4 (8-9-10-11-12-14 repetitions in width).
Work A.4 1 time vertically, there are now 72-81-90-99-108-126 tr with 2 ch between every tr on round. Work a round with 1 tr + 2 ch in every tr, AT THE SAME TIME inc 0-3-0-3-0-0 tr evenly, inc by working 1 tr + 2 ch + 1 tr + 2 ch in a tr = 72-84-90-102-108-126 tr. Then work according to diagram A.5 (12-14-15-17-18-21 repetitions in width). Work diagram A.5 one time vertically. Fasten off. Piece now measures approx. 31 cm in all sizes from ch-row in waist and 63-65-67-69-71-73 cm in total.
ASSEMBLY:
Sew shoulder straps in each side on the top triangle on back piece (sew the 4 tr from shoulder strap against the 4 outermost dc in each side on triangle – NOTE! Try the top first and adjust length of straps if needed).
CROCHET EDGE:
Work an edge around the neck as follows:
ROUND 1: Work 1 ch, 1 dc, * 1 ch, skip approx. 1 cm, 1 dc *, repeat from *-* and finish with 1 sl st in ch at beg of round – make sure to work a no of dc/ch that is divisible by 4.
ROUND 2: Work 1 ch, * 1 dc in first dc, 3 ch, 1 sl st in same dc, work 1 dc in next ch, 1 dc in next dc, 1 dc in next ch *, repeat *-* and finish with 1 sl st in first ch on round. Fasten off.
Work as follows around the armholes (make sure not to work the edge too loose):
ARMHOLE WITHOUT VENT:
ROUND 1: Work 1 ch, 1 dc, * 1 ch, skip approx. 1 cm, 1 dc *, repeat from *-* and finish with 1 sl st in ch at beg of round – make sure to work a no of dc/ch that is divisible by 4.
ROUND 2: 3 ch ( = 1 tr), 1 tr in next dc, * 2 ch, skip 1 ch and 1 dc, 1 tr in next ch, 1 tr in next dc *, repeat from *-*, finish with 2 ch and 1 sl st in 3rd ch from beg of round.
ROUND 3: 1 ch, work 1 dc in every tr and 2 dc in every ch-space, finish with 1 sl st in first ch.
ROUND 4: Work 1 ch, * 1 dc in first dc, 3 ch, 1 sl st in same dc, work 1 dc in each of the next 3 dc *, repeat from *-* and finish with 1 sl st in first ch on round. Fasten off.
ARMHOLE WITH VENT:
ROW 1 (= from WS): Work 1 ch, 1 dc, * 1 ch, skip approx. 1 cm, 1 dc *, repeat from *-* – make sure to work a no of dc/ch that is divisible by 4 + 2. Turn.
ROW 2: 3 ch ( = 1 tr), 1 tr in next dc, * 2 ch, skip 1 ch and 1 dc, 1 tr in next ch, 1 tr in next dc *, repeat from *-*. Turn.
ROW 3: 1 ch, work 1 dc in every tr and 2 dc in every ch-space. Turn.
ROW 4: Work 1 ch, * 1 dc in next dc, 3 ch, 1 sl st in same dc, work 1 dc in each of the next 3 dc *, repeat from *-* 1 dc in next dc, 3 ch, 1 sl st in same dc, 1 dc in next dc. Fasten off.
Sew a button at the top of vent, button through first tr in opposite side.
TIES:
Cut 2 lengths of 3 metres each. Twine the strands tog until they resist, fold the string double so that it twines again. Make a knot at each end. Thread tie up and down in row with tr in waist.

Ik heb de herhaling aangehouden, en bij het laatste stukje houd ik nog 5 lossen over. Maar ik begrijp niet hoe ik dan 1 losse moet overslaan, dan 1stokje in de laatste 3 moet haken. Dan houd ik uiteindelijk 1 losse over. Hopelijk kan iemand me helpen :(

Dag Wendy,
Helaas kan ik niet met je meekijken, maar als het verder allemaal klopt en je kunt hierop verder haken met de volgende toer, dan lijkt mij die ene steek niet zo'n punt. Deze kun je eventueel nog uithalen op het het eind.
29.05.2023 kl. 15:44Het geluid van de filmpjes staat aan, mijn pc werkt goed, maar ik hoor niets. Hoe kan dit?
17.05.2023 - 11:23Hvorfor er der to symboler for lm? både prik og og streg?

Hej Storm, de er brugt lidt forskelligt. Du har nogle videoer nederst i opskriften som viser forskellige moment i opskriften :)
13.04.2023 kl. 10:00Hallo wo ist denn das Diagramm für das Vorderteil, man weiß ja nicht wo genau man abnehmen muss. LG,Marion

Liebe Marion, die Abnahmen unter VORDERTEIL werden beidseitig gehäkelt, dafür gibt es kein Diagram, alles wird in der schriftlichen Anleitung erklärt. Viel Spaß beim häkeln!
22.03.2023 kl. 13:33Ik kom ook helemaal niet toe met de vooropgestelde 400m voor de maat L, wat suggereert dat de top toch strakker zou moeten zijn. Maar mijn maatvoering klopt/is zelfs iets strakker dan het patroon aangeeft?
12.03.2023 - 17:28DROPS Design answered:
Dag Kathleen,
Je hebt 400 gram nodig (niet 400 meter), dus 8 bollen.
14.03.2023 kl. 20:55Ik ben bijna helemaal klaar met het patroon in maat L. Mijn maatvoering klopt met het patroon: 20x10 = 10x10cm. Ik heb eigl zelfs eerder 19x10 stokjes. Toch valt de maat L veel groter uit dan het model op de foto laat zien. De top lijkt aan te passen maar valt in werkelijkheid super los. Heb ik me laten misleiden door de foto en is het een losse top?
12.03.2023 - 17:22DROPS Design answered:
Dag Kathleen,
Wat vervelend dat de maten niet kloppen. Als ik de maattekening bekijk zou het een redelijk aansluitende top moeten zijn. Heb je tijdens het haken ook de maatvoering in de gaten gehouden?
14.03.2023 kl. 20:58Zou het kunnen dat voor het voorpand de verhoudingen niet kloppen?\r\nEr moeten 213 lossen worden opgezet om nadien volgens patroon te haken en maar 176 stokjes over te houden??? Of er zijn teveel stokjes op dat moment, of er blijven nog een heleboel lossen over.\r\nBen al zeker 3 maal herbegonnen, ik begrijp er niets meer van.
04.03.2023 - 11:46DROPS Design answered:
Dag Ann,
Ja, dat klopt, want in de volgende toer sla je regelmatig een losse over. Dit wordt gedaan om te voorkomen dat de opzetrand niet te strak wordt.
08.03.2023 kl. 19:17Sto iniziando il davanti di questo progetto ma non capisco il procedimento dopo le 72 maglie alte. Nei suggerimenti lavoro parlano di un inizio/Giro con m a e poi di inizio/Giro con mb, devo intendere che si prosegue facendo una riga a m a e una riga a m b, procedendo con le diminuzioni solo nelle righe di m a? Grazie per la spiegazione
27.02.2023 - 13:56DROPS Design answered:
Buonasera Serena, il paragrafo del suggerimento spiega come iniziare il giro nelle diverse tipologie di inizio: se il giro che deve lavorare inizia a maglie alte, deve seguire le istruzioni per quel caso. Buon lavoro!
02.03.2023 kl. 19:10In terms of sizing, would the bust be the largest part of the chest or underneath the bust? My measuring around largest part is 46" which would bring me at a 3xl. I am usually an XL, so I am very confused by sizing. Thank you - Theresa
09.12.2022 - 04:16DROPS Design answered:
Hi Theresa, The chest measurements include the bust and we recommend that you use the size chart to decide which size to work. Happy crafting!
