LACE PATTERN: See diagrams A.1 to A.3. A.2 shows how round begins and ends when working A.1 (A.2 is an addition to A.1, i.e A.2 replaces 1st stitch). CROCHET INFO: Begin every round with double crochets with 3 chain stitches ,finish round with 1 slip stitch in 3rd chain stitch at beginning of round. Begin every round with single crochet with 1 chain stitch, finish round with 1 slip stitch in 1st chain stitch at beginning of round. 2nd and 5th round in A.3 begins with 3 chain stitches, finish round with 1 slip stitch in 3rd chain stitch at beginning of round. PATTERN-1 (applies to body): Work A.3. When A.3 has been worked 1 time vertically, work 5-6-8-9-10-11 rounds with 1 double crochet crochet in every double crochet crochet, then work A.3 one more time. INCREASE/DECREASE TIP: To calculate how to increase/decrease evenly, use the total number of stitches on row (e.g. 258 stitches) and divide stitches by number of increases/decreases to be done (e.g. 15) = 17.2. In this example increase after approx. every 17th stitch. If decrease, crochet approx. every 16th and 17th stitch together. INCREASE TIP-1: Increase 1 double crochet crochet by working 2 double crochets in same stitch. INCREASE TIP-2: Work until 2 double crochets/chain stitches remain before marker thread, work 2 double crochets in/around next double crochet crochet/chain stitch (= 1 double crochet crochet increased), work 1 double crochet crochet in/around each of the next 2 double crochet crochet/chain stitches, marker thread is in the middle of these double crochets/chain stitches, work 2 double crochets in/around next double crochet crochet/chain stitch (= 1 double crochet crochet increased). Repeat increase at every marker thread. DECREASE TIP: Decrease 1 double crochet crochet by working the next 2 double crochets together as follows: Work 1 double crochet crochet but wait with last pull through (= 2 loops on hook), then work next double crochet crochet but on last pull through, pull yarn through all 3 loops on hook. ---------------------------------------------------------- DRESS: Worked in the round from mid back, top down. YOKE: Work 146-146-155-155-163-163 chain stitches on hook size 3.5 mm/E/4 with Safran and form a ring with 1 slip stitch in first chain stitch. Work first round as follows: Work 3 chain stitches - READ CROCHET INFO, 1 double crochet crochet in each of the next 5-5-0-0-1-1 chain stitch, * skip 1 chain stitch, 1 double crochet crochet in each of the next 6 chain stitches *, repeat from *-* the entire round = 126-126-133-133-140-140 double crochets (including 3 chain stitches from the beginning of round). Then work A.1 in the round (= 18-18-19-19-20-20 repetitions of 7 stitches - A.2 shows how every round in A.1 begins and ends and comes in addition to A.1). REMEMBER THE CROCHET GAUGE! On last round in A.1 insert 8 marker threads and crochet as follows: Work as shown in diagram and increase as explained below – READ INCREASE-TIP 1: Work 29-29-31-31-33-33 double crochets and increase 0-0-0-1-0-0 double crochets evenly, insert 1 marker thread in piece, work 4 double crochets and increase 2-4-4-4-4-4 double crochets evenly (= right back piece), insert 1 marker thread, work 42-42-44-44-46-46 double crochets and increase 0-1-1-2-1-1 double crochets evenly, insert 1 marker thread, work 4 double crochets and increase 2-4-4-4-4-4 double crochets evenly, insert 1 marker thread (= sleeve), work 58-58-62-62-66-66 double crochets and increase 0-0-0-2-0-0 double crochets evenly, insert 1 marker thread, work 4 double crochets and increase 1-4-4-4-4-4 double crochets evenly, insert 1 marker thread (= front piece), work 42-42-44-44-46-46 double crochets and increase 0-1-1-2-1-1 double crochets evenly, insert 1 marker thread, work 4 double crochets and increase 1-4-4-4-4-4 double crochets evenly, insert 1 marker thread (= sleeve), work 29-29-31-31-33-33 double crochets and increase 0-0-0-1-0-0 double crochets evenly(= left back piece) = 222-234-246-252-258-258 double crochets on round. Piece measures approx. 9 cm / 3½". Work 0-0-0-0-2-2 rounds with 1 double crochet crochet in every double crochet crochet and increase 0-0-0-0-12-15 double crochets evenly on each of the rounds – READ INCREASE/DECREASE TIP (= 0-0-0-0-24-30 double crochets in total) = 222-234-246-252-282-288 double crochets. Move marker threads upwards when working. Repeat A.3 37-39-41-42-47-48 times in total in width. On 2nd round (i.e. round with double crochets) increase at every marker thread – READ INCREASE TIP-2 and increase 2-8-8-8-8-8 double crochets evenly on round (= 2 double crochets increased at every marker thread and 2-8-8-8-8-8 double crochets increase evenly = 18-24-24-24-24-24 double crochets increased on round) = 240-258-270-276-306-312 double crochets. Now repeat A.3 40-43-45-46-51-52 times in width. Repeat increase on last round in A.3 (i.e. 2 double crochets increased at every marker thread and 2-8-8-8-8-8 double crochets increased evenly = 18-24-24-24-24-24 double crochets increased in total on round) = 258-282-294-300-330-336 double crochets. * Work 1 round double crochets with 1 double crochet crochet in every double crochet crochet. Work 1 round double crochets and increase 18-18-16-17-24-26 double crochets evenly *, repeat from *-* 1-1-2-3-2-3 times in total = 276-300-326-351-378-414 double crochets. Work 0-1-1-0-1-0 rounds double crochets with 1 double crochet crochet in every double crochet crochet. Piece measures approx. 17-18-19-20-21-22 cm / 6¾"-7"-7½"-8"-8¼"-8¾". On next round work as follows: Work 1 double crochet crochet in each of the first 39-43-47-51-57-64 double crochets (= half back piece), work 8 chain stitches, skip 60-64-69-73-75-79 double crochets from previous round (= sleeve), 1 double crochet crochet in each of the next 78-86-94-103-114-128 double crochets (= front piece), 8 chain stitches, skip 60-64-69-73-75-79 double crochets from previous round (= sleeve), 1 double crochet crochet in each of the last 39-43-47-51-57-64 double crochets (= half back piece) = 172-188-204-221-244-272 double crochets/chain stitches on round. Finish body and sleeves separately. BODY: Insert 1 marker on round – NOW MEASURE PIECE FROM HERE. Work 1 round double crochets with 1 double crochet crochet in every double crochet crochet/chain stitch. Work 1 round more with 1 double crochet in every double crochet and decrease AT THE SAME TIME 4-2-0-5-4-2 double crochets evenly – READ INCREASE/DECREASE TIP and DECREASE TIP = 168-186-204-216-240-270 double crochets. Now work PATTERN-1 - see explanation above. AT THE SAME TIME when piece measures 9-10-11-12-13-14 cm / 3½"-4"-4⅜"-4¾"-5⅛"-5½", adjust so that next round is a round with double crochets, decrease 6-12-12-6-6-6 double crochets evenly = 162-174-192-210-234-264 double crochets. Continue pattern-1. When piece measures 19-20-21-22-23-24 cm / 7½"-8"-8¼"-8¾"-9"-9½", increase 6 double crochets evenly - READ INCREASE/DECREASE TIP AND INCREASE TIP-1. Increase like this every 3rd round 12-12-12-12-14-14 times in total = 234-246-264-282-318-348 double crochets. When piece measures 49-51-53-55-57-59 cm / 19¼"-20"-21"-21⅝"-22½"-23¼" from marker (entire dress measures approx. 71-74-77-80-83-86 cm / 28"-29⅛"-30⅜"-31½"-32¾"-33⅞"), work A.3 in the round. When A.3 has been worked, work 1 round double crochets with 1 double crochet in every double crochet. Then work 1 round single crochet with 1 single crochet in every double crochet. Fasten off.

Insert 1 marker mid under sleeve – NOW MEASURE PIECE FROM HERE. SIZE S + M: Work 1 round double crochets with 1 double crochet in every double crochet and decrease AT THE SAME TIME 2-0 double crochets evenly = 66-72 double crochets. SIZE L + XL + XXL + XXXL: Work 1 round double crochets with 1 double crochet in every double crochet and increase AT THE SAME TIME 1-3-1-3 double crochets evenly = 78-84-84-90 double crochets.

Buenas tardes, he encontrado una manera para que no se note la línea de unión en la espalda. He empezado a tejer no en el centro de la espalda sino en el costado (debajo de la axila) después de terminar la parte complicada de canesú. Sigo tejiendo en redondo como dice el patrón, pero voy girando la labor. Así se consigue que la línea no se note tanto y que no se vaya inclinando hacía un lado. Se queda recta, y en el costado donde se nota menos que en la espalda.

Hi, when doing the neck edge do you pick up the stitches doing a round of double crochet first or do you work the picked up stitches as the working row starting with the single crochets?
10.05.2021 - 19:45DROPS Design answered:
Dear Suzy, when starting the neck edge, you crochet 126-126-133-133-140-140 dc (uk= tr), and then start the first row with the sigle crochets. Happy Crafting!

Buenos días, como tejer en redondo la parte del cuerpo donde no hay patrón, solo puntos altos, para que no se note tanto la unión? La línea que empieza en el centro de la espalda después de tantas vueltas está inclinada, diagonal. No queda muy bonito y no se cómo arreglarlo. Sigo el patrón, 3 puntos de cadena para iniciar la vuelta y terminar con un punto enano en el tercer punto de la cadeneta inicial.
08.05.2021 - 11:26DROPS Design answered:
Hola Susana, es normal al trabajar en redondo que se note la unión con un punto enano. Se puede disminular controlando la tensión de los puntos altos y las cadenetas, pero va a seguir visible.

Hello there, I love this dress pattern, but I am having a hard time reading it and following along with the video clips since the clips don't tell you how to start. I do very well but watching someone make a version step-by-step. If you could possibly do that in a YouTube version or something, that would be fantastic. Thank you.

Dear Talia, all the available, relevant videos can be found linked on the page (below the pattern). If you still have trouble, you can always contact (either in person, or over the phone) the store where you bought your DROPS yarn from, for firther help. Happy Knitting!

Hi, after the yoke part, can the 8 markers be taken out as you are only using the one in the back to measure the bodice part? I am now working A1 for the second time in the bodice part and still moving the original 8 markers down.

And what does it mean when the chart is turned? Does that mean turning the work?

Dear No A, I'm not sure to understand your question, what do you mean here? Can you explain somewhat more what you are thinking about? Thanks for your comprehension.

Hi, just a question. Why doesn’t A.3 graph show the slip stitch and start chains as it does in A1 and 2? I am finding it very confusing in Pattern 1 of the body and have ended up on the last row with 218 stitches instead of 216 for size XL (before the 6 decreases)
08.02.2021 - 19:21DROPS Design answered:
Dear Nova, the 3 chains at the beginning of the round when working A.3 doesn't count as a stitch, just work them extra - as on round 2 and 5. Make sure you have the correct number of stitches before dividing piece (= 300 sts), then at the beg of body (= 221) so that you have 216 sts after decreasing 5 stitches. Happy crocheting!

Oh glory days! I worked it out in A.1 just finished the first row and I now know where I went wrong it was in this graph I was crocheting the 6 sts for each section instead of skipping those two sts at the end of the section i was on,y skipping 1 st it’s made such a difference I’ve worked it 19 times. I hope it’s plain sailing from here on in. Thank you so much for your patience you guys are just great!!
