------------------------------------------------------- EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN: ------------------------------------------------------- CHAIN STITCH: If you work outermost on the hook the chain stitch will often be too tight; 1 chain stitch should be as long as 1 single crochet is wide. CROCHET INFORMATION: At the beginning of each row of single crochets, replace the first single crochet with 1 chain stitch; i.e. skip the first stitch on the previous round. The round ends with 1 slip stitch in the first chain stitch at the beginning of the round. At the beginning of each row of half-double crochets, replace the first half-double crochet with 2 chain stitches; i.e. skip the first stitch on the previous round. The round ends with 1 slip stitch in the 2nd chain stitch at the beginning of the round. At the beginning of each row of double crochets, replace the first double crochet with 3 chain stitches; i.e. skip the first stitch on the previous round. The round ends with 1 slip stitch in the 3rd chain stitch at the beginning of the round. INCREASE/DECREASE TIP (evenly spaced): To work out how to increase/decrease evenly, count the total number of stitches on needle (e.g. 70 stitches) and divide by the number of increases/decreases to be made (e.g. 10) = 7. In this example, increase by working 2 stitches in the same stitch each 7th stitch. When decreasing, work together each 6th and 7th stitch. PATTERN: See diagrams A.1 to A.4. A.1 and A.3 show how the rounds start and finish. Read CROCHET TIP. CROCHET TIP: If A.2a measures more than 4½ cm = 1¾" in height, replace the quadrouple-treble crochets with triple-treble crochets; i.e. make 1 less yarn over. Start the round with 6 chain stitches instead of 7. If A.2a measures less than 4½ cm = 1¾" in height, replace the quadrouple-treble crochets with quintruple-treble crochets; i.e. make 1 more yarn over. Start the round with 8 chain stitches instead of 7. RAGLAN: RAGLAN: Increase to raglan in each transition between body and sleeves as described below. Increase 16 stitches on the round as follows: After the marker thread: Work 1 stitch in the first stitch after the marker thread, then 2 stitches in each of the next 2 stitches (= 2 stitches increased). Before the marker thread: Start 3 stitches before the marker thread, work 2 stitches in each of the first 2 stitches then 1 stitch in the stitch before the marker thread (= 2 stitches increased). Increase 8 stitches on the round as follows: After the marker thread: Work 1 stitch in the first stitch after the marker thread, then 2 stitches in the next stitch (= 1 stitch increased). Before the marker thread: Start 2 stitches before the marker thread, work 2 stitches in the first stitch then 1 stitch in the stitch before the marker thread (= 1 stitch increased). DECREASE TIP (for sleeves): Decrease 1 double crochet on each side of the marker thread as follows: Work until there are 2 double crochets left before the marker thread, work 2 DOUBLE CROCHETS TOGETHER – read description below, 1 double crochet in each of the next 2 double crochets (the marker thread sits between these 2 stitches), work 2 double crochets together. WORK 2 DOUBLE CROCHETS TOGETHER: Work 1 double crochet but wait with the last yarn over and pull-through, work 1 more double crochet in the same way. Make 1 yarn over and pull through all the loops on the hook (= 1 double crochet decreased). ------------------------------------------------------- START THE PIECE HERE: ------------------------------------------------------- SWEATER – SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE: The neck and yoke are worked in the round, top down. The yoke is divided for body and sleeves and the body continued in the round, top down. Sleeves are also worked in the round top down. NECK: Work 70-74-76-84-86-90 chain stitches – read CHAIN STITCH, with hook size 4.5 mm = US 7 and Lima and form them into a ring with 1 slip stitch in the first chain stitch. Work 1 single crochet in each chain stitch – read CROCHET INFORMATION = 70-74-76-84-86-90 single crochets. Work 1 round of double crochets in the back loop of each single crochet. Then work 1 round of single crochets in the back loop of each double crochet at the same time as you increase 10-6-12-4-6-10 single crochets evenly spaced – read INCREASE/DECREASE TIP = 80-80-88-88-92-100 single crochets. Work 1 round of single crochets in the back loop of each single crochet = 80-80-88-88-92-100 single crochets – REMEMBER THE CROCHET GAUGE! Insert 4 marker threads (without working the stitches) as follows: Insert 1 marker thread at the beginning of the round, the second after the next 28-28-32-32-34-38 stitches (= back piece), the third after the next 12 stitches (= sleeve), the fourth after the next 28-28-32-32-34-38 stitches (= front piece), which leaves 12 stitches back to the first marker thread (= sleeve). YOKE: Work in the round according to the diagrams – read PATTERN, as follows: Work A.1a (shows how the rounds start and finish), repeat A.2a to end of round – AT THE SAME TIME, on the first round, increase to RAGLAN in each transition between body and sleeves – read description above. Increase on each round as follows: Increase 16 stitches a total of 6-7-7-6-7-7 times, then increase 8 stitches a total of 6-7-8-13-13-15 times. When A.1a/A.2a have been worked a total of 3 times in height, work A.1b/A.2b, then continue with 1 double crochet in each stitch (through both loops). After the last increase to raglan there are 224-248-264-288-308-332 double crochets on the round and the piece measures approx. 18-20-22-25-27-28 cm = 7"-8"-8¾"-9¾"-10⅝"-11" from the neck. Continue working until the piece measures 21-23-25-27-29-31 cm = 8¼"-9"-9¾"-10⅝"-11⅜"-12¼"-12¼" from the neck. The next round is worked as follows: Work 67-73-78-85-92-101 double crochets (= back piece), 6-6-8-8-10-10 loose chain stitches (= in side under sleeve), skip 42-48-52-56-58-60 double crochets (= sleeve), work 70-76-80-88-96-106 double crochets (= front piece), 6-6-8-8-10-10 loose chain stitches (= in side under sleeve), skip 42-48-52-56-58-60 double crochets (= sleeve) and work the remaining 3-3-2-3-4-5 double crochets (= back piece). Then finish body and sleeves separately. Cut the strand. THE PIECE IS NOW MEASURED FROM HERE! BODY: Start by working the 4th-4th-5th-5th-6th-6th chain stitch of the 6-6-8-8-10-10 chain stitches under the sleeve as follows: 1 slip stitch, 3 chain stitches (= 1 double crochet), 1 double crochet in each of the next 2-2-3-3-4-4 chain stitches, 1 double crochet in each double crochet, 1 double crochet in each of the 6-6-8-8-10-10 chain stitches under the sleeve, 1 double crochet in each double crochet and finally 1 double crochet in each of the last 3-3-4-4-5-5 chain stitches under the sleeve = 152-164-176-192-212-232 double crochets. Continue with double crochets in the round until the piece measures 30 cm = 11¾" from the division. Cut and fasten the strand. The sweater measures approx. 54-56-58-60-62-64 cm = 21¼"-22"-22¾"-23⅝"-24⅜"-25¼" from the shoulder down. SLEEVE: Start working in the 4th-4th-5th-5th-6th-6th chain stitch of the 6-6-8-8-10-10 chain stitches under the sleeve as follows: 1 slip stitch, 3 chain stitches (= 1 double crochet), 1 double crochet in each of the next 2-2-3-3-4-4 chain stitches, 1 double crochet in each double crochet and finish with 1 double crochet in each of the last 3-3-4-4-5-5 chain stitches under the sleeve = 48-54-60-64-68-70 double crochets. Insert 1 marker thread at the beginning of the round and continue in the round with double crochets. When you have worked 2 rounds from the division, decrease 2 double crochets mid under sleeve – read DECREASE TIP-1. Decrease like this every 3-2-1-1-1-1 rows a total of 4-6-8-10-11-11 times = 40-42-44-44-46-48 double crochets. Continue until the piece measures 41-39-38-36-34-33 cm = 16⅛"-15¼"-15"-14¼"-13⅜"-13" from the division (shorter measurements in the larger sizes due to wider neck and longer yoke). Work 1 round where you decrease 12-14-12-12-12-12 double crochets evenly spaced (by working 2 double crochets together) = 28-28-32-32-34-36 double crochets. Continue in the round according to the diagrams as follows: Work A.3 (shows how the rounds start and finish), repeat A.4 to end of round. Continue until A.3/A.4 have been completed, cut and fasten the strand. Work the other sleeve in the same way. NECK: Start mid back and fasten the strand with 1 slip stitch in a single crochet, 1 chain stitch (= 1 single crochet), then working 1 single crochet in each double crochet to end of round = 70-74-76-84-86-90 single crochets. Cut and fasten the strand. |
