INFORMATION FOR PATTERN: PATTERN: See diagrams A.1 to A.5. INCREASE TIP-1: Increase 1 double crochet by working 2 double crochets in same stitch. CROCHET TIP-1 (applies to body but not diagram): Replace first double crochet at beginning of every row with 3 chain stitches. CROCHET TIP-2 (applies to body but not diagram): When working in the round, replace first treble with 3 chain stitches, finish round with 1 slip stitch in 3rd chain stitch at beginning of round. DECREASE TIP: Decrease by working 2 double crochets together. INCREASE TIP-2 (evenly): To calculate how to increase evenly, use the total number of double crochets on row (e.g. 146 double crochets) and divide double crochets by number of increases to be done (e.g. 22) = 6.6. In this example increase by working 2 double crochets in same double crochet alternately approx. every 6th and 7th double crochet. ---------------------------------------------------------- TOP: Piece is worked back and forth, top down, work front and back piece separately down to armhole, then work in the round over both parts. Then work straps from bottom up and then work flounces back and forth on straps, fasten flounce to front/back piece. FRONT PIECE: Work 51-53-53-55-57-59 chain stitches (including 3 chain stitches to turn with) on hook size 5 mm / H/8 with Cotton Merino. Switch to hook size 4 mm / G/6, turn and work 1 double crochet in 4th chain stitch from hook (= 2 double crochets), work 1 double crochet in each of the next 47-49-49-51-53-55 chain stitches = 49-51-51-53-55-57 double crochets. On next row begin increase in each side of piece AT THE SAME TIME work pattern as follows: Increase 1 double crochet in each side of piece (= 2 double crochets increased) - read INCREASE TIP-1. Increase like this every row 3-5-8-13-14-15 times in total, and then every other row 5-5-3-0-0-0 times in total = 65-71-73-79-83-87 double crochets on last row. Work next row as follows, begin from right side: Read CROCHET TIP-1 – work 1 double crochet in each of the first 0-1-1-2-3-4 double crochets, A.1a over the next 10 double crochets, repeat A.1b over the next 30 double crochets (= 5 times in total in width), A.1c over the next 9 double crochets and 1 double crochet in each of the last 0-1-1-2-3-4 double crochets. Continue until A.1 has been work 1 time vertically. REMEMBER THE CROCHET GAUGE! Then work as follows, begin from wrong side: Work 1 double crochet in every double crochet until 1 double crochet remains before first chain space, work A.2c, repeat A.2b 3 times in total in width, A.2a and 1 double crochet in every double crochet the entire row. Continue until A.2 has been worked vertically. Then work as follows, begin from wrong side: Work 1 double crochet in every double crochet until first chain space, work A.3 and 1 double crochet in every double crochet the rest of row. Continue until A.3 has been worked vertically. Now work 1 double crochet in every stitch until piece measures 14-15-15-16-16-17 cm / 5 ½"-5⅞"-5⅞"-6 ¼"-6 ¼"-6⅝". Fasten off, turn. Put piece aside. BACK PIECE: Work 51-53-53-55-57-59 chain stitches (including 3 chain stitches to turn with) on hook size 5 mm / H/8 with Cotton Merino. Switch to hook size 4 mm / G/6, turn and work 1 double crochet in 4th chain stitch from hook (= 2 double crochets), work 1 double crochet in each of the next 47-49-49-51-53-55 chain stitches = 49-51-51-53-55-57 double crochets. Then work 1 double crochet in every double crochet - AT THE SAME TIME increase 1 double crochet in each side of piece - remember INCREASE TIP-1. Increase like this every row 8-10-11-13-14-15 times in total = 65-71-73-79-83-87 double crochets on last row. When piece measures 14-15-15-16-16-17 cm / 5 ½"-5⅞"-5⅞"-6 ¼"-6 ¼"-6⅝" (adjust according to front piece), fasten off, turn. BODY: Now work the two parts together as follows: Work 4-4-7-8-12-15 chain stitches for armhole, 1 double crochet in each of the 65-71-73-79-83-87 double crochets from back piece, work 8-8-14-16-24-30 chain stitches for armhole, 1 double crochet in each of the 65-71-73-79-83-87 double crochets from front piece, work 4-4-7-8-12-15 chain stitches for armhole and finish with 1 slip stitch in first chain stitch at beginning of round. Then work piece in the round, continue with 1 double in every double/chain stitch = 146-158-174-190-214-234 double crochets. When working in the round, turn after every round to work alternately from right side and wrong side. This is so that the texture is the same on the entire top - read CROCHET TIP-2. Insert 1 marker thread in each side, in the middle of the 8-8-14-16-24-30 chain stitches. NOW MEASURE THE PIECE FROM HERE! Continue like this until piece measures 8-9-10-11-12-13 cm / 3⅛"-3½"-4"-4⅜"-4¾"-5⅛". Now work in the round according to diagram A.4 while at the same time increasing on first round (round marked with arrow in diagram) as follows: Work A.4b 28-30-33-36-39-43 times in total on round – A.4a shows how rounds begin and end and is worked in addition to A.4b – AT THE SAME TIME increase 11-11-12-13-10-12 chain spaces (= 1 double crochet + 1 chain stitch) evenly – read INCREASE TIP-2 = 84-90-99-108-117-129 chain spaces (= 1 double crochet + 1 chain stitch). Continue in the round, i.e. always work pattern from right side. When A.4 is done vertically, fasten off. STRAPS: Now work a strap back and forth in cast-on edge on front piece over the first 8-9-9-9-10-10 double crochets. Work 1 double crochet in every double crochet until strap measures 10-10-11-11-12-12 cm / 4"-4"-4⅜"-4⅜"-4¾"-4¾". Fasten off. Work 1 strap over the first 8-9-9-9-10-10 double crochets in the other side the same way. Work straps the same way on back piece. Sew tog straps on shoulder. FLOUNCE: Work back and forth over every row on strap (= 20-20-22-22-24-24 cm / 7⅞"-7⅞"-8⅝"-8⅝"-9⅜"-9⅜"). Begin from wrong side and work 1 double crochet in first row, * 1 chain stitch, 1 double crochet around row *, work from *-* along the entire strap – adjust so that there are 26-26-28-28-30-30 chain spaces (= 1 chain stitch + 1 double crochet) on this row, finish with 1 double crochet in last row = 1 double crochet in each side and 26-26-28-28-30-30 chain spaces (= 1 chain stitch + 1 double crochet). Turn and work as follows from right side: A.5a, A.5b 13-13-14-14-15-15 times in total in width, finish with A.5c. Continue this pattern until A.5 is done vertically, fasten off. Work flounce on the other strap the same way. NECK EDGE: Work 1 single crochet in every double crochet/2 single crochets along every double crochet row along the entire neck. SLEEVE EDGE: Work 1 single crochet in every double crochet/2 single crochets along every double crochet row along armhole – start right after flounce, work along armhole and to the flounce. Place flounce edge to edge to this sleeve edge (on both front and back piece) and fasten with small, neat stitches. Work the other sleeve edge the same way and fasten flounce. TIE: Cut 3 lengths of 3 metres each with Cotton Merino. Twine the strands tog until they resist, fold them double so that they twine again. Make a knot at each end. Baste the yarn up and down through first row with eyelet holes - start mid front. Tie a bow at the front. |

J'arrive en 2 ième rg donc avec 51 brides et j'ai crocheté le diagr.A1a ,b , c et j'ai finis avec 1 bride , 3 mailles en air , 1 bride dans la même maille. Après il me reste encore 2 mailles et je dois augmenter 1 maille , comment faire pour cette augmentation à la fin de ce rg...???? Vu qu'il y a 2 mailles qui restent...Merci de v/réponse.

Bonjour Mme Chevalier, en taille M, vous commencez par une chaînette de 53 mailles en l'air, mais au 1er rang, vous ne devez avoir que 51 brides, c'est probablement l'origine des 2 mailles en l'air en trop que vous avez à la fin du 1er rang. Bon crochet!

Hallo, nach dem ersten Teil habe ich 73 Maschen in der Reihe. Warum habe ich ab dem Diagrammen dann nur 1+10+30+10 also nur 51 in der nächsten Reihe?? Liebe Grüße an alle Handarbeiter

Liebe Steffi, Sie müssen gleichzeitig zunehmen und im Muster häkeln, dh, die 1. Reihe wird mit der 1. Muster + mit Zunahmen gehäkelt. Viel Spaß beim häkeln!

Excluding the lateral increases (since I am doing an M size, there are two double crochets from which I start the increases on the sides, for a total of 51 stitches in the first row), I start the diagram with 49 stitches. At the end of A3, I have 51 stitches corresponding to the diagram. The reason is that in the central chain space of the last row I worked three stitches instead of one: 2 hd crochets and 1 single crochet. Where should I have to skip two stitches to compensate this increase?
11.04.2021 - 15:56DROPS Design answered:
Dear Eleonora, maybe you could get helped with markers to check your number of sts ? Try to thread markers at the end of A.1a and before A.1c; this can help you to check where you might have increased these 2 stitches. Hope it will help!

Me gustaría que me explicaran para una talla chica cuantos puntos altos trabajo y si se cierra o hasta el final
10.04.2021 - 04:04DROPS Design answered:
Hola Blanca, para la talla S, el delantero empieza con 51 puntos, y la espalda también. Primero se trabajan las piezas por separado y luego se trabajan juntas en redondo.

Não entendo como na parte da frente, no final das carreiras de aumentos em que ficamos com um total de 73 pontos altos, nos indicam para continuar a fazer os esquemas A1 que tem um total de 51 pontos altos.
07.04.2021 - 22:45DROPS Design answered:
Bom dia, Depois dos aumentos, trabalha-se vários diagramas A.1 por cima apenas de alguns pontos altos e fazem-se outros pontos altos entre cada parte de A.1. Ver as explicações abaixo. Crochetar a carreira seguinte da seguinte maneira, começando pelo direito: Ver DICA CROCHÉ-1 – 1 ponto alto em cada um dos 0-1-1-2-3-4 primeiros pontos altos, A.1a por cima dos 10 pontos altos seguintes, repetir A.1b por cima dos 30 pontos altos seguintes (= 5 vezes em largura ao todo), A.1c por cima dos 9 pontos altos seguintes e 1 ponto alto em cada um dos 0-1-1-2-3-4 últimos pontos altos. Continuar desta maneira até A.1 ter sido crochetado 1 vez em altura. Bom Croché!

Funderar ang framstycket, är A.1 a,b,c rätsidan och A.2 a,b,c avigsidan? Nästa varv virkas så här – med början från rätsidan: , A.1a över de nästa 10 stolparna, upprepa A.1b över de nästa 30 stolparna (= totalt 5 ggr på bredden), A.1c över de nästa 9 stolparna och 1 stolpe i var och en av de sista 0-1-1-2-3-4 stolparna. Fortsätt till A.1 har virkats 1 gång på höjden. Sedan virkas A2 från avigsidan......
10.03.2021 - 20:52DROPS Design answered:
Hei Mona. Du starter A.1 (a+b+c) fra retten og når du har heklet diagrammene 1 gang i høyden er siste rad fra retten, slik at nå du skal begynne med diagram A.2 (a+b+c) er første rad fra vrangen. Husk at de radene du ser i diagrammene som har en stjerne er allerede heklet. God Fornøyelse!

Hello I’m fairly new to crocheting so apologies if these Q’s are obvious. Front peice - I have 71 stitches but the part that bring in diagrams says 1 treble crochet at beginning and end then as per diagram 10 + 30 + 9. This is only 51 stitches am I reading this wrong? On the diagram a1 I can’t work out what stitches the half circles and the T’s that appear between rows are. Other diagrams I’ve followed often number the rows but I’m confused with this. Any advice welcome
01.02.2021 - 21:39DROPS Design answered:
Dear Melanie, the increases start on first row working diagram, ie you work in pattern over the 51 sts and increase at the same time on every row then on every other row. Happy crocheting!

Dear Mrs Vi Latunazo, we are trying to make videos for a lot of patterns but we are unfortunately not able to make a whole video for the whole top that would take hours. But you will find any assistance with our videos and lessons related to that pattern, feel free to ask your question here and remember for every individual assistance, please contact the store where you bought the yarn. Happy crocheting!
