How to crochet A.1, A.2 and A.3 in DROPS 157-18
We begin with the first row and crochet as follows from RS: Work A.1 over the first 8 ch, A.2 over the next 12 ch, A.3 over the next ch 5, 1 tr in each of the next 4 ch, A.1, A.2 and A.3.
Hereafter we crochet one repeat of A.Z vertically including how to replace the tr's in first row of A.Z from WS. We fast forward second repeat of the patterns on the row.
This jacket is made in DROPS Merino Extra Fine, but in the video we crochet with a thicker yarn, DROPS Snow.
You must read the pattern and look at the charts to be able to follow. You’ll find the pattern by clicking on the pictures below.

I am stuck at a transition in row two. After you have completed A3, A2 once it asks that you do these two again. I cannot see how to proceed after the last five chains from A2 back to the second repeat of A 1. The video does not appear to show this transition.

Dear Marcia, from wrong side you will read diagrams from the left towards the right, so work on 2nd row work: A.3 (=5 chains), A.2 (= 5 dc (US-English) in the next ch-space, 5 ch, 1 sl st in the top of the 3 dc tog from previous row, 5 ch), - repeat A.2 in width if necessary - and finish with A.1 (5 dc around the next ch-space, 5 ch, 1 sl st in the top of the 2 dc tog frm previous row). Happy crocheting!

I understand row 1 and 2, but there is no instruction for row 3 or 4. What do I do over the band of 11dc? Your video only shows working over 6dc.

Dear Mrs Neighorn, just work the 6 dc as before with 6 dc (on first row in A.z replace the first and last dc with 3 ch like this: 3 ch, skip 1 dc, 1 dc in the next 4 dc, skip 1 dc, 3 ch and continue as before. Video shows how to crochet diagrams with 4 dc in between (as in size S). Happy crocheting!

Confused with SLEEVES! Made 45 cm of the back peace. Cut the yarn. Chained 29 sts and worked A3-A1 +4 dc along those chains. What next?? Your Notes says: dc over back peace as before.... Where exactly to crochet that dc??? Is that 29sts chain going to be connected to the back peace? Is there a chance to see a video for this part?? Or have more detailed explanation please!
28.10.2020 - 15:19DROPS Design :
Dear Svetlana, the 29 chains on one side = at the beg of the row is for one sleeve and the 31 chains on the other side = at the end of the same row is for the other sleeve. This means the both chains are connected on same row you are working them: crochet 29 chains, then work as before from WS over the stitches on back piece: A.3, A.2 and A.1 and with dc over dc from previous row, then work with dc on each side and diagrams as explained on next paragraph. Happy crocheting!

WOW....as a 40+ yr crocheter I have read, and altered hundreds of patterns but this one stumps even me. I.E., it shows in the video working in rows but then talks about working vertical. And reading the reviews above, I am not the only one thoroughly confused. As gorgeous as this is, I am going to pass.

I think you still should have put some kind of note or indicator to add the number of double crochets since it’s part of the pattern. Regarding the sleeves, I think you mean that you should attach the yarn to the wrong side and then chain 29 and then work the pattern and at the end of the first row , chain 31, turn and continue. Your instructions or the English translation of them is very hard to understand and follow. Sorry but I haven given up on this project.

Why doesn’t the diagram show the 9 double crochets? I finished the entire back not realizing that I was supposed to repeat that sequence.i thought it was a detail in the first row only😠. I am also lost when trying to do the sleeves. I don’t understand the instructions at all. Is there a video tutorial for the sleeve part? Help please!

Dear Mrs Taniguchi, the number of double crochets is not the same in all sizes, that's why diagram doesn't show them - Remember to always follow the written pattern at the same time. Before crocheting sleeve you have to cut the yarn, then crochet 29 chains, work next row in pattern as before, and finish row with 31 chains (= 29 chains as on first sleeve + 2 chains to turn with), and work row 1 A.1-A.3 over the chain stitches, and next row as before over the middle sts. Happy crocheting!

I'm left-handed and usually manage crochet patterns quite well but I'm finding this rather difficult! Any help?

Dear Mrs Malin, our diagrams are read from RS from the right towards the left and from WS from the left towards the right. When working 1st row in A.z (= from WS) you will replace the first and the last tr with 3 ch as follows: work A.3, A.2, then A.1, 3 ch (replace 1 tr), 1 tr in each of the next 2-4-7-11-4-9 tr, 3 ch (replace 1 tr) , 1 dc in next st (over the 4-6-9-13-6-11tr), A.3, A.2 and A.1. Happy crocheting!

Bonjour ! Comment fait-on le rang 6 du motif qui va nous permettre de repartir sur le rang 1 ? Le diagramme se termine par le rang impair et je ne vois pas comment revenir sur le rang . Merci à vous et bonne journée !
10.04.2018 - 07:26DROPS Design :
Bonjour Isabelle, les diagrammes A.1,A.2,A.3 comportent un total de 5 rangs mais on répète les 4 derniers rangs en hauteur (A.z), après le dernier rang du diagramme, reprenez au 2ème rang (celui avec les 5 brides autour des arceaux). Répétez ainsi les rangs 2 à 5 en hauteur. Bon crochet!

I'm a crocheter of over 50 years, i consider myself to be an experienced crocheter, this pattern however is soooo confusing. at NO stage do you cover the dc sequence, I understand the size differences, but please, show that sequence in at least one size, personally don't care which, I can extrapolate it to the size i want, but at least show it, this is very badly written, and NO the written instruction Do not cover it past the second row, and there is more to that section than written.
