PATTERN:
See diagrams A.1 to A.5.
----------------------------------------------------------
SHOULDER PIECE:
You first work a crochet square in the round, then work back and forth outwards on two of the sides for the sleeves. To finish you work an edge around the opening of the shoulder piece.
CROCHET SQUARE:
Start with hook size 3.5 mm and Cotton Light. Work the pattern according to diagram A.1b, a total of 4 times in the round. Diagram A.1a shows how the rounds start and finish – READ CROCHET INFO!
REMEMBER THE CROCHET TENSION! When the whole of A.1a and A.1b have been completed in height, the crochet square measures approx. 23 x 23 cm. Cut the strand.
Start in the double crochet marked with a star on the last round in A.1b (= 4th double crochet before the corner). Work from the 3rd round in the diagrams as follows: Work A.2a in the double crochet (A.2a shows how the round starts and finishes), work A.2b over the first 3 chain-spaces, * work A.2c (= corner), work A.2b over the next 9 chain-spaces (= 3 repeats) *, repeat from *-* 2 more times, work A.2c in the corner and finish with A.2b over the remaining 6 chain-spaces in the round (= 2 repeats). When the last round in A.2a to A.2c has been completed, the crochet square for size S/M is finished and there are 75 treble crochets on each side of the square.
In sizes L/XL, XXL and XXXL work from the 2nd round in the diagrams as follows: Work A.3a (shows how the round starts and finishes), work A.3b the whole round but in each corner work A.3c. Work the last 2 rounds a total of 1-2-3 times in height, AT THE SAME TIME in sizes L/XL and XXL adjust the number of stitches on the last round worked, so that there are 91 treble crochets in each size on each of the 2 sides marked with stars (SEE SKETCH!).
The crochet square measures approx. 38-42-46-50 x 38-42-46-50 cm.
THE SIDE AND THE SLEEVE:
Work slip stitches up to the first chain-space in the corner.
Now work back and forth along the one side of the crochet square in the different sizes. Start on the 2nd row in the diagrams and work as follows:
Sizes S/M and XXXL:
Work A.2a around the chain-space in the corner, work A.2b over the next 75-105 treble crochets (= 5-7 repeats), work A.2a around the chain-space in the corner.
Sizes L/XL and XXL:
Work A.4a (first stitch is worked around the chain-space in the corner), work A.2b over the next 75-75 treble crochets (= 5-5 repeats), work A.4b (the last stitch is worked around the chain-space in the corner).
ALL SIZES:
Turn and work back and forth until the diagrams have been worked in height. Then work from the diagrams from the 2nd row 1 more time in height, AT THE SAME TIME on the last row adjust the number of stitches so that there will be 77-92-92-107 treble crochets on row.
Now work the sleeve from the 2nd row in the diagrams as follows: Work A.5a over the first 11 treble crochets, work A.5b over the next 55-70-70-85 treble crochets, work A.5c = 15-18-18-21 chain-spaces. When the diagrams have been worked in height, 1 chain-space has been decreased in each side = 13-16-16-19 chain-spaces. Start on the 2nd row in the diagrams and work A.5d (shows how the row starts and finishes), work A.5b 13-16-16-19 times and finish with A.5d. Work the diagrams from the 2nd row a total of 1-1-2-2 times in height.
Fold the piece so that the sides marked with A – see the sketch, meet each other. Start outermost by the sleeve (last row worked) and crochet through both layers as follows: * work 1 double crochet around both layers, 3 chain stitches, skip approx. 1 cm *, repeat from *-* along side A down to the first row of A.5a-A.5c. Cut and fasten the strand.
Work the other side and sleeve in the same way, but you are now working sides B together. Do not cut the strand!
EDGE:
Work an edge around the opening on the shoulder piece. Start on the 2nd round in A.5d and A.5b and work as follows:
Work A.5d, * work A.5b, skip approx. 2.5 cm/5 treble crochets *, repeat from *-* the whole round in the round. When the diagrams are completed in height, repeat the diagrams from the 2nd row 0-0-1-1 times more in height. Cut and fasten the strand.

It looks like there is a collar in the pics but I don't see what looks like those descriptions in the pattern or diagram? It also looks like there are extra rows at the bottom back but I don't see those either. Are those instructions somewhere and am I just missing it? Thank you!

Dear Halle, the whole piece is made up by a central square (which includes what seems like a collar and the extra rows at the bottom), the sleeves and an edge around the opening of the shoulder piece (the crochet square) which is also part of the collar and the bottom back. Happy crochetting!
18.09.2022 kl. 18:36E' quello che ho fatto ma non viene come in foto. Lascio perdere disfo e farò altro. Mi spiace ma le vostre spiegazioni nell'esecuzione sono davvero poco chiare e molto difficili da capire ed è un peccato perchè i modelli sono belli

Buongiorno Simona, ci dispiace leggere il suo commento: i modelli DROPS vengono realizzati ogni giorno da centinaia di persone in tutto il mondo. Per un'assistenza più personalizzata può rivolgersi al suo rivenditore DROPS di fiducia. Buon lavoro!
27.07.2022 kl. 18:48Ci rinuncio. Non capisco fino a che punto va piegata la manica e poi come fare il bordo finale. Ho provato e non viene teso e dritto ma tipo sacco
27.07.2022 - 08:42DROPS Design answered:
Buongiorno Simona, deve piegarla in modo che i due lati indicati con A nello schema delle misure in fondo alla pagina combacino, poi lavorarla per cucirla. Buon lavoro!
27.07.2022 kl. 15:11Quello lo avevo capito. Quello che non capisco è come cusire le maniche e fare il bordo finale
26.07.2022 - 18:02DROPS Design answered:
Buonasera Simona, deve piegare a metà la manica e cucirla ripetendo la sequenza indicata: 1 maglia bassa in entrambi gli strati, 3 catenelle, saltare circa 1 cm. Buon lavoro!
26.07.2022 kl. 18:14Il modello è il 178-48 My Generation Dopo aver fatto il quadrato e il pezzo delle maniche per ogni lato con la stella non capisco come devo proseguire
25.07.2022 - 08:38DROPS Design answered:
Buonasera Simona, per lavorare il lato, deve partire dell'arco di catenelle in un angolo e lavorare come riportato nel paragrafo "LATI E MANICHE" per la sua taglia, iniziando dalla 2° riga dei diagrammi. Buon lavoro!
26.07.2022 kl. 16:19Buongiorno, non riesco a capire come cucire le maniche e poi fare il bordo. E' davvero incomprensibile
20.07.2022 - 11:15DROPS Design answered:
Buongiorno Simona, a quale parte del modello sta facendo riferimento in particolare? Buon lavoro!
23.07.2022 kl. 14:22I feel your diagrams would be more helpful & coherent if the entire section was shown instead of just pieces. Not everyone can cognitively handle putting together pieces in their mind; those people rely on written patterns to compartmentalize the information for them. Visual information such as a diagram, is often an impediment when presented in a disconnected or oversimplified form.
13.03.2022 - 18:46Do you have written pattern not diagram?
12.06.2021 - 15:28DROPS Design answered:
Dear Zhel, no there is no written put version, not only because the pattern is available in many languages, but also, because we belive that with charts you can not only see the very next step, but the bigger picture as well, like how the stitches and rows relate to each other "en large". We do have a lesson on how to read a crochet pattern here. Happy Stitching!
12.06.2021 kl. 22:26Buenas tardes, Trabajando las mangas, después de hacer 5d-5b (16 veces)-5d, el patrón indica: "trabajar los diagramas desde la segunda fila un total de 2 veces (talla xxl) en vertical. Pero ¿se refiere a trabajar dos veces desde " 5a sobre los primeros 11 puntos altos..." o desde "trabajar 5d, 5b 16 veces.....??
26.09.2020 - 01:05DROPS Design answered:
Hola Ana. Repetir 2 veces en vertical se refiere a los diagramas 5d-5b(16 veces)-5d.
30.09.2020 kl. 21:26J ai realisé le carre sans souci mais je ne comprends absolument pas comment faire côtés et manches. Pourriez vous m expliquer sv p et un petit croquis m aiderait bien. Merci
25.10.2019 - 22:24DROPS Design answered:
Bonjour Mme Ligot, quand le carré est terminé, on crochète le long de l'un des 2 côtés seulement pour la 1ère manche (côté A, à partir de l'étoile), puis côté B à partir de l'étoile. Chacune des manches se fait séparément, en allers et retours le long de ces deux côtés. Bon crochet!
