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. |

Buenos días, me acabo de dar cuenta que se empieza por arriba así que así si me cuadra más el patrón. Perdón por las molestias ocasionadas estoy iniciandome en el ganchillo. Gracias y disculpas.

Buenos días, en relación al patrón al hacer el delantero para el escote ponéis los diagramas A1, A2 y A3 y creo que el orden es al revés para que salga el pico sería A3, A2 y A1. Gracias.

Buenos días, estoy haciendo este modelo según el patrón y el delantero no me coincide la forma del escote con el de la foto del chaleco ya acabado. Gracias y saludos.

Thanks for the prompt response. Now I get it. One more doubt - does the increase happen throughout the whole front piece? I.e. from A1 to A3?
13.08.2022 - 14:53DROPS Design answered:
Dear Mrs Zeenat, you increase only 3 times on every row then 5 times on every other row - and at the same time work diagrams A.1 as explained - increases will be worked before starting A.2. Happy crocheting!

Hi This is for the front piece. I have worked 65 double crochets, it is called the last row. Does it mean I have to end it here? Now I can’t understand from where to begin the next row which reads as “Work next row as follows, begin from right side: Read CROCHET TIP-1 – work 1 double crochet in each of the first 0…

Dear Zeenat, you have increase on both sides (to get 65 sts on last row) and at the same time work the pattern, this means the first row in pattern with diagrams A.1a,b,c is worked over the 49 sts increasing 1 stitch on each side. Happy crocheting!

I'm rather confused. I am talking about the California dreams pattern. The A1 through a five are those a different type of stitch? If so what stitch? The pattern starts from the bottom of the top section and goes up correct ? As you can probably tell I'm used to making my own patterns not reading one. Thank you for your help I really want to do this and I really really wanted to turn out nice. Fondia

Dear Fondia, A.1 to A.5 are the graphs with the stitch patterns used in this model. You can find all graphs, with the graph descriptions, in the lower part of the page, after the pattern instructions. For more help reading these diagrams, please check the following link:https://www.garnstudio.com/lesson.php?id=69&cid=19 You work from the top down, the front and back piece separately until the armhole and then you work them both together ("body") downwards, until reaching the desired measurements. Happy crocheting!

Bonsoir, j'adore ce top il est trop joli, je suis debutante dans le. Crochet et je souhaite me lanser avec ce beau modèle. J'en suis au toit début. J'ai fait mon 1er rand de brides (51) maintenant je dois repartir mes 5 augmentation toutes 10 les brides . Mais pdt combien de cm ou rangs et idem concernant tous les 2 rangs ? Merci par avance
06.07.2022 - 21:52DROPS Design answered:
Bonjour Karine, vous devez maintenant augmenter 1 bride de chaque côté (= cf AUGMENTATIONS-1. ), et, en même temps, crocheter comme indiqué juste après, autrement dit: 1 bride (+ 1 augmentation), A.1a (=10 brides), A.1b (=5x), A.1c (9brides) et 1 bride (+1 augmentation), continuez ainsi en augmentant d'abord 5 fois tous les rangs puis 3 fois tous les 2 rangs (= vous aurez crocheté 8 rangs au total et augmenté 16 mailles - quand A.1 est terminé, continuez comme indiqué avec les diagrammes A.2. Bon crochet!

Hola Kelly. Para la talla M se empieza con 53 puntos de cadeneta (es el 2ª número de puntos en las instrucciones y de medidas en el diagrama bajo el patrón). No tenemos este modelo en versión para niños y no hacemos patrones personalizados.

Bonjour, j ai fait les augmentations pour avoir 65 brides. Maintenant je dois faire A1a sur 10, A1b sur 30 et A1c sur 9. Ça fait 49. Je ne comprends pas comment passer de 65 à 49. Merci pour la réponse
30.05.2022 - 11:40DROPS Design answered:
Bonjour Mme De Taeye, les augmentations se commencent au même rang que le 1er rang de A.1, autrement dit, vous devez crocheter les 49 brides en augmentant 1 bride de chaque côté au 1er rang: en M: 1 bride en augmentant 1 bride, A.1a, A1b, A.1c et terminez par 1 bride en augmentant 1 bride et ainsi de suite. Bon crochet!
