------------------------------------------------------- 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 double crochet is wide. CROCHET INFORMATION: At the beginning of each row/round of double crochets work 3 chain stitches; these chain stitches replace the first double crochet, i.e. skip the first double crochet from the previous row/round. The round ends with 1 slip stitch in the 3rd chain stitch at the beginning of the round. PATTERN: See diagrams A.1 to A.3. Choose diagram for your size (applies to A.2). INCREASE TIP (evenly spaced): To work out how to increase evenly, count the total number of stitches on the row (e.g. 66 stitches) and divide by the number of increases to be made (e.g. 8) = 8.2. In this example, increase by working 2 double crochets in approx. each 8th double crochet. RAGLAN: Increase 2 double crochets by working 3 double crochets in the first and the last double crochet in A.3. The increased stitches are worked in double crochets on the sleeves and in pattern on the front and back pieces as follows: Work the new stitches into A.2. There will always be 7-7-7-8-8-8 double crochets between the vertical lines of chain-stitch loops (chain-stitch loops are worked into loop cables later). When there are 8-8-8-10-10-10 vertical lines with chain-stitch loops, work the remaining increased stitches in double crochets. DECREASE TIP (for sleeves): Decrease 1 double crochet on each side of the marker thread as follows: NOTE! Be aware that the marker thread is placed in transition between rounds, so that the decrease after the marker thread will occur on next round. Work until there are 4 double crochets left before the marker thread, * make 1 yarn over, insert the hook through the next stitch, pick up the strand, make 1 yarn over and pull it through the first 2 loops on the hook *, work from *-* a total of 2 times, make 1 yarn over and pull it through all 3 loops on the hook (= 1 stitch decreased), work 4 double crochets as before (the marker thread sits in the middle of these 4 stitches). Decrease 1 stitch in the same way after the marker thread. ------------------------------------------------------- START THE PIECE HERE: ------------------------------------------------------- SWEATER – SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE: The neck and yoke are worked in the round, from the side of the back piece and top down. The yoke is divided for the body and sleeves, which are then finished separately. NECK: Work 66-66-70-72-76-80 chain stitches – read CHAIN STITCH, with hook size 5 mm = US H/8 and 1 strand Sky + 1 strand Kid-Silk (= 2 strands). Form them into a ring with 1 slip stitch in the first chain stitch. Work 1 double crochet in each chain stitch – read CROCHET INFORMATION. Then work A.1 in the round. When A.1 has been completed in height, work a round of double crochets where you increase 8-8-8-12-12-8 double crochets evenly spaced – read INCREASE TIP = 74-74-78-84-88-88 double crochets. Insert a marker at the beginning of the round; the yoke is measured from this marker! YOKE: REMEMBER THE CROCHET GAUGE! Now work pattern as follows: Work A.2 over the first 21-21-21-24-24-24 stitches (= 3 repeats) – remember CROCHET INFORMATION, work the first 4-4-4-4-4-4 symbols in A.2, i.e. 1 double crochet + 10 chain stitches + 2 double crochets (= back piece), work A.3 over the next 2 double crochets (= raglan), work 1 double crochet in each of the next 8-8-10-10-12-12 double crochets (= sleeve), work A.3 over the next 2 double crochets (= raglan), work 1 double crochet in the next double crochet, A.2 over the next 21-21-21-24-24-24 stitches (= 3 repeats), work the first 4-4-4-4-4-4 symbols in A.2, i.e. 1 double crochet + 10 chain stitches + 2 double crochets (= front piece), work A.3 over the next 2 double crochets (= raglan), work 1 double crochet in each of the next 8-8-10-10-12-12 double crochets (= sleeve), A.3 over the next 2 double crochets (= raglan) and 1 double crochet in the last double crochet on the round. Continue this pattern in the round; at the same time, on the next round, begin to increase to RAGLAN – read description above. Increase like this every round 1-2-3-3-4-4 times, every 2nd round 3-3-3-3-4-5 times and then every 3rd round 3-3-3-3-3-3 times = 186-202-222-228-264-280 stitches. Continue working until the yoke measures 20-20-22-23-26-28 cm = 8"-8"-8¾"-9"-10¼"-11" from the marker on the neck. Now work the chain-stitch loops in A.3 together to make loop cables as follows: Insert the hook down the first chain-stitch loop at the top of the neck, from the right side, pull the 2nd chain-stitch loop through the first chain-stitch loop, insert the hook down the 2nd chain-stitch loop and pull the 3rd chain-stitch loop through the 2nd chain-stitch loop. Continue like this until all the chain-stitch loops have been worked together. Repeat on all A.3 sections on the round. You can thread a strand through the last chain-stitch loop if necessary, to prevent the cable from ravelling. The chain-stitch loops on the front and back pieces are worked together in the same way later. On the next round, work as follows; the chain-stitch loops in A.2 and A.3 are not counted in the stitch numbers - work 1 single crochet in the last chain-stitch loop in A.3 to prevent the cable from ravelling (then skip this single crochet; it is not counted in the stitch count): Work pattern as before over the first 39-41-43-46-50-53 stitches, work 6-6-8-8-10-10 loose chain stitches (= in side under sleeve), skip the next 38-42-48-48-58-60 double crochets (= sleeve), work pattern as before over the next 55-59-63-66-74-80 stitches (= front piece), work 6-6-8-8-10-10 loose chain stitches (= in side under sleeve), skip the next 38-42-48-48-58-60 double crochets (= sleeve), work pattern as before over the remaining 16-18-20-20-24-27 double crochets. Cut the strand. Body and sleeves are finished separately. BODY: = 124-132-144-150-170-182 double crochets (+ chain-stitch loops). Insert a marker in the middle of the 6-6-8-8-10-10 stitches cast on under one of the sleeves. Fasten the strand with 1 slip stitch in the chain stitch after the marker and work 3 chain stitches (= 1 double crochet) – remember CROCHET INFORMATION. Work pattern in the round as before, i.e. work double crochets and chain-stitch loops as before over the chain-stitch loops on the front and back pieces. Work like this until the body measures 24-26-26-27-26-26 cm = 9½"-10¼"-10¼"-10⅝"-10¼"-10¼" from the division. Now work the chain-stitch loops together in the same way as on the yoke. When all the loops have been cabled together, work the next round as follows: Work 1 double crochet in each double crochet, but at the end of each chain-stitch cable work 1 single crochet to prevent the cables from ravelling. Now work an edge as follows: Work A.1 the whole round. Repeat the last row in the diagram until the edge measures 5 cm = 2". Cut and fasten the strand. The sweater measures approx. 52-54-56-58-60-62 cm = 20½"-21¼"-22"-22¾"-23⅝"-24⅜" from the shoulder down. SLEEVE: Insert a marker thread in the middle of the 6-6-8-8-10-10 chain stitches under the sleeve (= beginning of the round). Allow the thread to follow your work onwards. Fasten the strand with 1 slip stitch in the stitch after the marker thread and work 3 chain stitches (= 1 double crochet) – remember CROCHET INFORMATION, then work 1 double crochet in each of the next 2-2-3-3-4-4 chain stitches, 2 double crochets around the next double crochet (= in the corner between the chain stitches and the skipped double crochets), work 1 double crochet in each of these 38-42-48-48-58-60 double crochets, 2 double crochets around the next double crochet (= in the corner between the chain stitches and the skipped double crochets), work 1 double crochet in each of the last 3-3-4-4-5-5 chain stitches = 48-52-60-60-72-74 double crochets. Continue in the round with 1 double crochet in each double crochet. When the sleeve measures 3 cm = 1⅛" from the division, start to decrease under the sleeve – read DECREASE TIP. Decrease like this every round 0-0-1-3-10-10 times and then every 2nd round 4-5-7-5-3-3 times = 40-42-44-44-46-48 stitches. Continue working until the sleeve measures 33-34-32-32-29-27 cm = 13"-13⅜"-12½"-12½"-11⅜"-10⅝" from the division. Now work an edge as follows: Work A.1 the whole round. When the diagram has been completed in height, repeat the last row in the diagram until the edge measures 5 cm = 2". Cut and fasten the strand. Work the other sleeve in the same way. |

Liebes Drops-Team, Kann es sein, dass ich bei Größe M ein Fehler eingeschlichen hat? Meiner Meinung nach müsste das Rücken- und Vorderteil auch über 24 Maschen jeweils gehen, im insgesamt auf 78 Maschen zu kommen. Ich freu mich auf eine Antwort, viele Grüße Tina

Liebe Tina, meinen Sie am Ende der Halsblende? Es waren 70 Maschen mit A.1 gehäkelt + 8 Stb = 78 M. Viel Spaß beim häkeln!

Bonjour, je ne comprends pas les explications d'augmentation pour l'empiècement. Dois-je augmenter les 4 raglans indiqués à chaque tour? Il me semble y avoir confusion avec les 3 augmentation par tour, deux tours et trois tours, lequel dois-je suivre? Bref, pourriez-vous me donner des exemples concrets pour les augmentations des premiers tours pour que je puisse comprendre la logique? Merci beaucoup!

Bonjour Valentine, vous augmentez pour le raglan comme indiqué sous RAGLAN = 2 brides dans la 1ère bride de A.3 + 2 brides dans la dernière bride de A.3 = 4 brides à chaque raglan x 4 = 16 brides à chaque tour d'augmentations. Vous augmentez ensuite tous les tours, tous les 2 tours et enfin tous les 3 tours (le nombre de fois dépend de la taille). Bon crochet!
