INFORMATION FOR THE PATTERN:

PATTERN:
See diagrams A.1 to A.4.

CROCHET INFORMATION:
At the beginning of every row/round of double treble crochets, replace the first double treble crochet with 4 chain stitches. The round finishes with 1 slip stitch in the 4th chain stitch. NOTE: The first round in A.2A starts with 4 chain stitches.
At the beginning of every row/round with treble crochets, replace the first treble crochet with 3 chain stitches. The round finishes with 1 slip stitch in the 3rd chain stitch.

2 DOUBLE TREBLE CROCHETS WORKED TOGETHER:
Work 1 double treble crochet in the next stitch, but wait with the last yarn over and pull through, work 1 double treble crochet in the next stitch and pull the last yarn over through all 3 loops on the hook.

3 DOUBLE TREBLE CROCHETS WORKED TOGETHER:
Work 1 double treble crochet in each of the next 3 stitches, but wait with the last yarn over and pull through on each of these double treble crochets, make a yarn over and pull it through all 4 loops on the hook.
----------------------------------------------------------

FRONT PIECE:
First work a crochet square in the same way in all sizes. Then continue working in the round, then back and forth over this square.

CROCHET SQUARE:
Start with hook size 6 mm and Nepal. Work A.1a. Then work in the round as follows: Work A.1b, A.1c a total of 3 times in width and A.1d. REMEMBER THE CROCHET TENSION! When A.1 has been completed, there are 40 double crochets along each side and 4 corner-spaces. The square measures now approx. 38 x 38 cm. Work 1 slip stitch in each of the first 2 double crochets, the next round starts from here.
Continue in the round as follows: Read CROCHET INFO! Work A.2a over the first 10 double crochets, A.2b over the first corner-space, work * A.2a over the next 40 double crochets (= 4 repeats), A.2b over the next corner-space *, repeat from *-* 2 more times, work A.2a over the remaining 30 double crochets (= 3 repeats). When A.2 has been completed there are 72 double treble crochets along each side and 4 corner spaces.
Continue in the round as follows: Work A.3a over the first 26 double treble crochets (= 13 repeats), A.3b over the first corner-space, work * A.3a over the next 72 double treble crochets (= 36 repeats), A.3b over the next corner-space *, repeat from *-* 2 more times, work A.3a over the remaining 46 double treble crochets (= 23 repeats). When A.3 has been completed, there are 80 double treble crochets along each side and 4 corner-spaces.
Crochet square measures approx. 66 x 66 cm. Now, size S/M is finished – cut and fasten the strand in this size. Sizes L/XL, XXL and XXXL continue as follows:

SIZE L/XL:
Now work back and forth outwards on each side of the jumper without increases. Start by the cross in one corner (the strand must be cut before continuing) – see sketch, and work as follows:
Work A.4d around the corner-space, work A.4b over the next 80 double treble crochets (= 40 repeats) and A.4a over the next corner-space. When A.4 has been completed in height, there are 85 double treble crochets on the last row. Cut and fasten the strand. Repeat on the opposite side of the piece – see cross in sketch.

SIZES XXL - XXXL:
Repeat the last 2 rounds as follows: Work A.3a as far as the first corner-space, work A.3b over the corner-space, work * A.3a as far as the next corner-space, work A3b over the corner-space *, repeat from *-* 2 more times, work A.3a to end of round = 88 double treble crochets along each side and 4 corner-spaces. Cut the strand.
Now work back and forth outwards on each side of the jumper without increases. Start by the cross in the one corner – see sketch, and work as follows:
Work A.4d around the corner-space, work A.4b over the next 88 double treble crochets (= 44 repeats) and A.4a over the next corner-space. When A.4 has been completed in height there are 93 double treble crochets on the last row.
Now size XXL is finished but in size XXXL work 2 rows as follows: Work A.4b until there is 1 double treble crochet left, work A.4c over the last double treble crochet.
Cut and fasten the strand after the last row in both sizes. Repeat on the opposite side of the piece – see cross on sketch.

ALL SIZES - SHOULDER:
Now just work back and forth along the one side – towards the neck. The other 3 sides are now finished. Work as follows in the different sizes:

SIZE S/M:
Now work the shoulder as follows:
ROW 1 (= from the right side): Remember CROCHET INFORMATION! Work 3 double treble crochets around the corner-space from the crochet square, 1 double treble crochet in each of the next 30 double treble crochets, work 3 DOUBLE TREBLE CROCHETS TOGETHER – see description above = 34 double treble crochets, turn.
ROW 2 (= from the wrong side): Work 3 double treble crochets together, work 1 double treble crochet in each of the next 31 double treble crochets = 32 double treble crochets, turn.
ROW 3: Work 1 double treble crochet in each double treble crochet.
Cut and fasten the strand. Work the other shoulder in the same way, but reversed. In other words, skip the middle 14 double treble crochets from the crochet square (= neck), and start by working 3 double treble crochets together.

SIZE L/XL:
ROW 1 (= from the wrong side): Remember CROCHET INFORMATION! Start in the one side from the wrong side and work 3 double treble crochets around each of the 2 rows from A.4, work 3 double treble crochets around the corner space from the crochet square, 1 double treble crochet in each of the 80 double treble crochets from the crochet square, 3 double treble crochets around the next corner-space from the crochet square, work 3 double treble crochets around each of the 2 last rows from A.4 = 98 double treble crochets, turn.
Now work the shoulder as follows:
ROW 2 (= from the right side): Work 1 double treble crochet in each of the first 39 double treble crochets, work 3 DOUBLE TREBLE CROCHETS TOGETHER – see description above = 40 double treble crochets.
ROW 3: Work 3 double treble crochets together, work 1 double treble crochet in each of the next 37 double treble crochets = 38 double treble crochets. Turn.
ROW 4: Work 1 double treble crochet in each double treble crochet.
Cut and fasten the strand. Work the other shoulder, but reversed. In other words, skip the middle 14 double treble crochets from row 1 (= neck), and start by working 3 double treble crochets together.

SIZES XXL - XXXL:
Now work the shoulder as follows:
ROW 1 (= from the right side): Start in the one side from the right side and work 3 double treble crochets around each of the first 2-4 rows from A.4, work 3 double treble crochets around the corner space from the crochet square, 1 double treble crochet in each of the first 33-33 double treble crochets from the crochet square, work 3 DOUBLE TREBLE CROCHETS TOGETHER – see description above = 43-49 double treble crochets. Turn.
ROW 2 (= from the wrong side): Work 3 double treble crochets together, work 1 double treble crochet in each of the next 40-46 double treble crochets = 41-47 double treble crochets. Turn
ROW 3: Work 1 double treble crochet in each double treble crochet.
Cut and fasten the strand. Work the other shoulder, but reversed. In other words, skip the middle 16-16 double treble crochets from the crochet square (= neck), and start by working 3 double trebles together.

BACK PIECE:
Work in the same way as for the front piece until you start on ALL SIZES -SHOULDER. Now work back and forth along the whole side up towards the neck and then work the shoulder. Work as follows in the different sizes:

SIZE S/M:
= 80 double treble crochets and 2 corner-spaces along the side.
ROW 1 (= from the right side): Work 2 double treble crochets around the corner-space, 1 double treble crochet in each of the 80 double treble crochets, work 3 double treble crochets around the corner space = 86 double treble crochets, turn.
ROW 2 (= from the wrong side): Work 1 double treble crochet in each double treble crochet. Turn.
ROW 3 (= shoulder): Work 1 double treble crochet in each of the first 31 double treble crochets, work 3 double treble crochets together = 32 double treble crochets.
Cut and fasten the strand. Work the other shoulder, but reversed. In other words, skip the middle 18 double treble crochets (= neck), and start by working 3 double treble crochets together.

SIZE L/XL:
= 80 double treble crochets and 2 corner-spaces along this side of the crochet square and 2 rows from A.4 on each side of the square.
ROW 1 (= wrong side): Start in the one side from the wrong side and work 3 double treble crochets around each of the 2 first rows from A.4, work 3 double treble crochets around the corner-space from the crochet square, 1 double treble crochet in each of the 80 double treble crochets from the crochet square, 3 double treble crochets around the next corner-space from the crochet square, work 3 double treble crochets around each of the 2 last rows from A.4 = 98 double treble crochets, turn.
ROW 2 (= right side) Work 1 double treble crochet in each double treble crochet. Turn.
ROW 3: Work 1 double treble crochet in each double treble crochet. Turn.
ROW 4 (= shoulder): Work 1 double treble crochet in each of the first 37 double treble crochets, work 3 double treble crochets together = 38 double treble crochets.
Cut and fasten the strand. Work the other shoulder, but reversed. In other words, skip the middle 18 double treble crochets (= neck), and start by working 3 double treble crochets together.

SIZES XXL - XXXL:
= 88-88 double treble crochets and 2 corner-spaces along this side of the crochet square and 2-4 rows from A.4 on each side of the square.
ROW 1 (= right side): Start in the one side from the right side and work 3 double treble crochets around each of the first 2-4 rows from A.4, work 3 double treble crochets around the corner-space from the crochet square, 1 double treble crochet in each of the 88-88 double treble crochets from the crochet square, work 3 double treble crochets around the corner-space from the crochet square and 3 double treble crochets around the next 2-4 rows from A.4 = 106-118 double treble crochets.
ROW 2 (= from the wrong side): Work 1 double treble crochet in each double treble crochet. Turn.
ROW 3 (= shoulder): Work 1 double treble crochet in each of the first 40-46 double treble crochets, work 3 double treble crochets together = 41-47 double treble crochets.
Cut and fasten the strand. Work the other shoulder, but reversed. In other words, skip the middle 20-20 double treble crochets (= neck), and start by working 3 double treble crochets together.

ASSEMBLY:
Sew the shoulder seams. Measure approx. 20-22-24-25 cm down from the shoulders and sew the side seams – leave approx. 20 cm at the bottom for split.

SLEEVE:
The sleeve is worked in the round, starting mid under the armhole. Work 52-58-62-64 double treble crochets evenly around the armhole. Insert 1 marker mid under the sleeve and allow the marker to follow your work. Continue by working pattern in the round according to diagram A.4b and decrease on double treble crochet rounds as follows: Decrease by working 2 DOUBLE TREBLE CROCHETS TOGETHER just after the marker – see description above and work 2 double treble crochets together just before the marker (= 2 double treble crochets decreased on the round). Repeat the decreases on every round with double treble crochets a total of 7-6-5-3 times = 38-46-52-58 double treble crochets. Continue the pattern until the sleeve measures approx. 27-23-23-20 cm – finish with a round of double treble crochets. Cut and fasten the strand. Work the other sleeve in the same way.

NECKLINE:
Work an edge along the neck opening.
Start on the shoulder and work as follows: * 1 double crochet around the outermost stitch, 4 chain stitches, skip approx. 1½ cm *, repeat from *-* along the whole neck and finish with 1 slip stitch in the first double crochet. Cut and fasten the strand.

Knitting tension is what determines the final measurements of your work, and is usually measured per 10 x 10 cm. It is provided like so: number of stitches in width x number of rows in height - eg: 19 stitches x 26 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

The knitting tension is very individual; some people knit/crochet loosely while others work tightly. You adjust the knitting tension with the needle size, which is why the suggested needle size is only meant as a guide! You need to adjust this (up or down) to ensure that YOUR knitting tension matches the knitting tension provided in the pattern. If you work with a different knitting tension than provided you will have a different yarn consumption, and your work will have different measurements than what the pattern suggests.

The knitting tension also determines which yarns can replace each other. As long as you achieve the same knitting tension you can replace one yarn with another.

See DROPS lesson: How to measure your tension/gauge

See DROPS video: How to make a gauge tension swatch

The required amount of yarn is provided in grams, eg: 450 g. To calculate how many balls you’ll need you first need to know how many grams are in 1 ball (25g, 50g or 100g). This information is available if you click on the individual yarn quality on our pages. Divide the amount required with the amount of each ball. For example, if each ball is 50g (the most common amount), the calculation will be as follows: 450 / 50 = 9 balls.

The important thing when changing from one yarn to another is that the knitting/crochet tension remains the same. This is so that the measurements of the finished piece will be the same as on the sketch provided. It is easier to achieve the same knitting tension using yarns from the same yarn group. It is also possible to work with multiple strands of a thinner yarn to achieve the knitting tension of a thicker one. Please try our yarn converter. We recommend you to always work a test swatch.

Please NOTE: when changing yarn the garment might have a different look and feel to the garment in the photo, due to individual properties and qualities of each yarn.

See DROPS lesson: Can I use a different yarn than the one mentioned in the pattern?

All our yarns are categorised into yarn groups (from A to F) according to thickness and knitting tension – group A contains the thinnest yarns and group F the thickest. This makes it easier for you to find alternative yarns to our patterns, should you wish to switch yarn. All yarns within the same group have a similar knitting tension and can easily replace each other. However, different yarn qualities have different structures and properties which will give the finished work a unique look and feel.

Click here for an overview of the yarns in each yarn group

At the top of all our patterns you’ll find a link to our yarn calculator, which is a helpful tool should you wish to use a different yarn than suggested. By filling in the yarn quality you wish to replace, the amount (in your size) and number of strands, the calculator will present good alternative yarns with the same knitting tension. Additionally it will tell you how much you’ll require in the new qualities and whether you’ll need to work with multiple strands. Most skeins are 50g (some are 25g or 100g).

If the pattern is worked with multiple colours, every colour will have to be calculated separately. Similarly, if the pattern is worked with several strands of different yarns (for example 1 strand Alpaca and 1 strand Kid-Silk) you will have to find alternatives for each, individually.

Click here to see our yarn calculator

Since different yarns have different qualities and textures we have chosen to keep the original yarn in our patterns. However, you can easily find options among our available qualities by using our yarn calculator, or simply pick a yarn from the same yarn group.

It is possible that some retailers still have discontinued yarns in stock, or that someone has a few skeins at home that they would like to find patterns for.

The yarn calculator will provide both alternative yarn as well as required amount in the new quality.

If you think it's hard to decide what size to make, it can be a good idea to measure a garment you own already and like the size of. Then you can pick the size by comparing those measures with the ones available in the pattern's size chart.

You'll find the size chart at the bottom of the pattern.

See DROPS lesson: How to read size chart

The needle size provided in the pattern serves only as a guide, the important thing is to follow the knitting tension. And since knitting tension is very individual, you will have to adjust the needle size to ensure that YOUR tension is the same as in the pattern – maybe you’ll have to adjust 1, or even 2 needle sizes, up or down to achieve the correct tension. For this, we recommend that you work test swatches.

Should you work with a different knitting tension than the one provided, the measurements of the finished garment might deviate from the measurement sketch.

See DROPS lesson: How to measure your tension/gauge

See DROPS video: How to make a tension/gauge swatch

Working a garment top-down provides more flexibility and room for personal adjustment. For example it is easier to try the garment on while working, as well as making adjustments to length of yoke and shoulder caps.

The instructions are carefully explaining every step, in the correct order. Diagrams are adjusted to the knitting direction and are worked as usual.

The diagram depicts all rows/rounds, and every stitch seen from the right side. It is read from bottom to top, from right to left. 1 square = 1 stitch.

When working back and forth, every other row is worked from the right side and every other row is worked from the wrong side. When working from the wrong side, the diagram will have to be worked reversed: from left to right, knit stitches are purled, purl stitches are knit etc.

When working in the round every round is worked from the right side and the diagram are worked from right to left on all rounds.

See DROPS lesson: How to read knitting diagrams

The diagram depicts all rows/rounds, and every stitch seen from the right side. It is worked from bottom to top, from right to left.

When working back and forth every other row is worked from the right side: from right to left and every other row is worked from the wrong side: from left to right.

When working in the round, every row in the diagram are worked from the right side, from right to left.

When working a circular diagram you start in the middle and work your way outwards, counter clockwise, row by row.

The rows usually start with a given number of chain stitches (equivalent to the height of the following stitch), this will either be depicted in the diagram or explained in the pattern.

See DROPS lesson: How to read crochet diagrams

Instructions for working several diagrams after each other on the same row/round, will often be written like so: “work A.1, A.2, A.3 a total of 0-0-2-3-4 times". This means you work A.1 once, then A.2 is worked once, and A.3 is repeated (in width) the number of times provided for your size – in this case like so: S = 0 times, M = 0 times, L=2 times, XL= 3 times and XXL = 4 times.

The diagrams are worked as usual: begin with the first row in A.1, then work the first row in A.2 etc.

See DROPS lesson: How to read knitting diagrams

See DROPS lesson: How to read crochet diagrams

The total width of the garment (from wrist-to-wrist) will be larger in the larger sizes, despite the actual sleeves being shorter. The larger sizes have longer sleeve caps and wider shoulders, so there will be a good fit in all sizes.

The measurement sketch/schematic drawing provides information regarding the full length of the garment. If it’s a jumper or a jacket the length is measured from the highest point on the shoulder closest to the neckline, and straight down to the bottom of the garment. It is NOT measured from the tip of shoulder. Similarly, the length of yoke is measured from the highest point on the shoulder and down to where yoke is split into body and sleeves.

On a jacket measures are never taken along bands, unless specifically stated. Always measure inside band stitches when measuring the length.

See DROPS lesson: How to read a schematic drawing

Diagrams are often repeated on the round or in height. 1 repeat is the diagram the way it appears in the pattern. If it says to work 5 repeats of A.1 in the round, then you work A.1 a total of 5 times after/next to each other in the round. If it says to work 2 repeats of A.1 vertically/in height you work the entire diagram once, then begin again at the start and work the entire diagram one more time.

Chain stitches are slightly narrower than other stitches and to avoid working the cast-on edge too tight, we simply chain more stitches to begin with. The stitch count will be adjusted on the following row to fit the pattern and measurement sketch.

The rib edge is more elastic and will contract slightly compared to, for example, stocking stitch. By increasing before the rib edge, you avoid a visible difference in width between the rib edge and the rest of the body.

It’s very easy to cast off too tightly, and by making yarn overs while casting off (and simultaneously casting these off) you avoid a too tight cast off edge.

See DROPS video: How to bind off with yarn overs (yo)

To achieve an even increase (or decrease) you can increase on, for example: every 3rd and 4th row alternately, like so: work 2 rows and increase on the 3rd row, work 3 rows and increase on the 4th. Repeat this until the increase is complete.

See DROPS lesson: Increase or decrease 1 st on every 3rd and 4th row alternately

Should you prefer to work in the round instead of back and forth, you may of course adjust the pattern. You’ll need to add steeks mid-front (usually 5 stitches), and follow the instructions. When you would normally turn and work from the wrong side, simply work across the steek and continue in the round. At the end you’ll cut the piece open, pick up stitches to work bands, and cover the cut edges.

See DROPS video: How to knit steeks and cut open

Should you prefer to work back and forth instead of in the round, you may of course adjust the pattern so you work the pieces separately and then assemble them at the end. Divide the stitches for the body in 2, add 1 edge stitch in each side (for sewing) and work the front and back pieces separately.

See DROPS lesson: Can I adapt a pattern for circular needles into straight needles?

Pattern repeats can vary slightly in the different sizes, in order to get the correct proportions. If you’re not working the exact same size as the garment in the photo, yours might deviate slightly. This has been carefully developed and adjusted so that the complete impression of the garment is the same in all sizes.

Make sure to follow instructions and diagrams for your size!

If you have found a pattern you like which is available in women’s size it’s not very difficult to convert it to men’s size. The biggest difference will be the length of sleeves and body. Start working on the women size that you think would fit across the chest. The additional length will be worked right before you cast off for the armhole/sleeve cap. If the pattern is worked top-down you can add the length right after the armhole or before the first decrease on sleeve.

Regarding additional yarn amount, this will depend on how much length you add, but it is better with a skein too many than too few.

All yarns will have excess fibres (from production) that might come off as lint or shedding. Brushed yarns (ie hairier yarns) have more of these loose, excess fibres, causing more shedding.

Shedding also depends on what is worn under or over the garment, and whether this pulls at the yarn fibres. It’s therefore not possible to guarantee that there will be no shedding

Below are some tips on how to get the best result when working with hairier yarns:

1. When the garment is finished (before you wash it) shake it vigorously so the looser hairs come off. NOTE: do NOT use a lint roller, brush or any method that pulls at the yarn.

2. Place the garment in a plastic bag and put it in your freezer - the temperature will cause the fibres to become less attached to each other, and excess fibres will come off easier.

3. Leave in the freezer for a few hours before taking it out and shaking it again.

4. Wash the garment according to the instructions on the yarn label.

Pilling is a natural process that happens to even the most exclusive of fibers. It's a natural sign of wear and tear that is hard to avoid, and that is most visible in high friction areas of your garment like a sweater's arms and cuffs.

You can make your garment look as new by removing the pilling, using a fabric comb or a pill/lint remover.

Hi again Thank you for your really prompt and helpful answer. I realised as soon as I pressed Send that I'd said 3trb instead of the 4 triple/ double treble cluster thingies. I also thought it might be 5 chains but thought I'd check. So, thank you again for your help :) Kind regards Judith

Hi In round3 how many chains are worked in between each of the 3 trbs together? The diagram just shows a curved black line, which I assume denotes chain(s), but how many? Thank you.

05.02.2022 - 14:46

DROPS Design answered:

Dear Judith, there are no 3 trb worked together, there are only clusters of 4 triple/ double treble crochets worked together. As you can see in the symbols above the diagrams, a curve = 5 chain stitches. You can check all the symbols and their meaning in the small section above the diagrams. Happy crocheting!
