------------------------------------------------------- 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/double crochet is wide. PATTERN: See diagram A.1. CROCHET INFORMATION: At the beginning of each row/round of double crochets work 3 chain stitches, which do not replace the first double crochet. When working in the round, turn after each round, working back and forth alternately from the right and wrong side. This gives you the same texture as when you work rows back and forth. Start each round with 3 chain stitches and finish with 1 slip stitch in the 3rd chain stitch. INCREASE TIP: When increasing 1 double crochet, work 2 double crochets in 1 stitch (increase inside 1 stitch on each side of the piece). When increasing 2 double crochets work 2 double crochets in each of the next 2 stitches (increase inside 1 stitch on each side of the piece). DECREASE TIP: Decrease 1 double crochet by working 2 double crochets together. Work 1 double crochet in the first stitch but wait with the last yarn over and pull-through (2 loops on hook), work 1 double crochet in the next stitch/around the chain stitch and pull the last yarn over through all 3 loops on the hook (1 double crochet decreased). -------------------------------------------------------- TOP - SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE: Each shoulder is worked separately, back and forth. The piece is joined after the armholes and continued in the round, turning after each round and working alternately from the right and wrong side so the texture remains the same. FRONT PIECE: Right shoulder: Work 20-21-21-22-22-23 CHAIN STITCHES – read description above, work 1 double crochet in the 4th chain stitch from the hook, then 1 double crochet in each of the next 16-17-17-18-18-19 chain stitches = 17-18-18-19-19-20 double crochets and 3 chain stitches to turn. Continue back and forth with double crochets – read CROCHET INFORMATION. REMEMBER THE CROCHET GAUGE! When the piece measures 10-10-10-10-12-12 cm = 4"-4"-4"-4"-4¾"-4¾" (finishing after a row from the right side), cut the strand and lay the piece to one side. Left shoulder: Work 20-21-21-22-22-23 chain stitches, work 1 double crochet in the 4th chain stitch from the hook, then 1 double crochet in each of the next 16-17-17-18-18-19 chain stitches = 17-18-18-19-19-20 double crochets and 3 chain stitches to turn. Continue back and forth with double crochets. When the piece measures approx. 10-10-10-10-12-12 cm = 4"-4"-4"-4"-4¾"-4¾" work the next row from the wrong side as follows: Work 1 double crochet in each of the 17-18-18-19-19-20 double crochets on the left shoulder, work 28-28-30-30-32-34 chain stitches (neck), 1 double crochet in each of the 17-18-18-19-19-20 double crochets on the right shoulder. There are 62-64-66-68-70-74 stitches. Continue back and forth with 1 double crochet in each stitch and, on the first row, begin to increase for the armholes on each side – read INCREASE TIP. Increase on every row as follows: 1 double crochet 3-4-4-4-0-0 times, then 2 double crochets 2-3-4-5-9-10 times = 76-84-90-96-106-114 stitches. When the increases are finished the piece measures approx. 17-19-21-22-23-24 cm = 6¾"-7½"-8¼"-8¾"-9"-9½", continue working if necessary to the correct length. Finish after a row from the wrong side. Lay the piece to one side. BACK PIECE: Left shoulder: Work 20-21-21-22-22-23 chain stitches, work 1 double crochet in the 4th chain stitch from the hook, then 1 double crochet in each of the next 16-17-17-18-18-19 chain stitches = 17-18-18-19-19-20 double crochets and 3 chain stitches to turn. Continue back and forth with double crochets. When the piece measures approx. 3 cm = 1⅛" (finishing after a row from the right side), cut the strand and lay the piece to one side. Right shoulder: Work 20-21-21-22-22-23 chain stitches, work 1 double crochet in the 4th chain stitch from the hook, then 1 double crochet in each of the next 16-17-17-18-18-19 chain stitches = 17-18-18-19-19-20 double crochets and 3 chain stitches to turn. Continue back and forth with double crochets. When the piece measures approx. 3 cm = 1⅛", work the next row from the wrong side as follows: Work 1 double crochet in each of the 17-18-18-19-19-20 stitches on the right shoulder, work 28-28-30-30-32-32 chain stitches (neck), work 1 double crochet in each of the 17-18-18-19-19-20 stitches on the left shoulder. There are 62-64-66-68-70-74 stitches. Continue back and forth with 1 double crochet in each stitch. When the piece measures 11-11-11-11-13-13 cm = 4⅜"-4⅜"-4⅜"-4⅜"-5⅛"-5⅛", start to increase for the armholes on each side. Increase on every row as follows: 1 double crochet 3-4-4-4-0-0 times, then 2 double crochets 2-3-4-5-9-10 times = 76-84-90-96-106-114 stitches. When the increases are finished the piece measures approx. 17-19-21-22-23-24 cm = 6¾"-7½"-8¼"-8¾"-9"-9½", continue working if necessary to the correct length. Finish after a row from the wrong side. On the next row from the right side work as follows: Work double crochets over the stitches on the back piece, 6-6-8-10-12-14 chain stitches, double crochets over the stitches from the front piece, 6-6-8-10-12-14 chain stitches, finish with 1 slip stitch in the 3rd chain stitch at the beginning of back piece = 164-180-196-212-236-256 stitches. The piece is now measured from here! Turn and work 1 slip stitch in each of the first 3-3-4-5-6-7 chain stitches, the round starts here. Continue in the round, working 1 double crochet in each double crochet and in each chain stitch – read CROCHET INFORMATION. Insert 1 marker-thread in the middle of the 6-6-8-10-12-14 new stitches in each side. When the piece measures 4 cm = 1½", decrease 1 stitch on each side of both marker-threads (4 stitches decreased) – read DECREASE TIP. Repeat this decrease when the piece measures 6 and 8 cm = 2⅜" and 3⅛" = 152-168-184-200-224-244 double crochets. When the piece measures 10 cm = 4", decrease 8-12-12-12-12-12 stitches evenly spaced = 144-156-172-188-212-232 stitches. Work A.1 over all stitches. When A.1 is finished, the piece measures approx. 23 cm = 9". Work the next round as follows: 1 single crochet around the first chain stitch, * 3 chain stitches, 1 single crochet around the next chain stitch *, work from *-* to the end of the round. The top measures approx. 40-42-44-45-47-48 cm = 15¾"-16½"-17¼"-17¾"-18½"-19". Cut and fasten the strand. ASSEMBLY: Sew the shoulder seams edge to edge so the seam is flat. EDGE: Work an edge around the neck and armholes with hook size 4 MM = US 6 as follows: 1 single crochet in the first stitch, * 3 chain stitches, 1 double crochet in the 3rd chain stitch from the hook, skip 1 cm = ⅜", 1 single crochet in the next stitch*, work from *-* to the end of the round and finish with 1 slip stitch in the first single crochet from the beginning of the round. |

I don’t understand the increase for the armhose on each side. Increase on every row as follows: 1 double crochet 3-4-4-4-0-0 times, then 2 double crochets 2-3-4-5-9-10 times = 76-84-90-96-106-114 stitches. Could you please explain. Thanks!

Dear Shirley, you can see the INCREASE TIP above: When increasing 1 double crochet, work 2 double crochets in 1 stitch (increase inside 1 stitch on each side of the piece). When increasing 2 double crochets work 2 double crochets in each of the next 2 stitches (increase inside 1 stitch on each side of the piece). Happy crochetting!

I am struggling to follow the diagram part - could someone break it down for me please in rows?

Dear Ellie, in this lesson, we explain how to read crochet diagrams, it might be helpful. Start at the bottom on the right corner and read towards the left from the right side and from the left towards the right from the wrong side. Each symbol used in the diagram is explained just above it. Happy crocheting!

Bonjour Je ne sais pas combien de pelotes il faut pour réaliser une taille 42
09.06.2023 - 10:57DROPS Design answered:
Bonjour Mme Broignart, vous trouverez les quantités requises pour chaque taille au poids, en haut de page, autrement dit, il faut par exemple 250 g DROPS Muskat / 50 g la pelote = 5 pelotes en taille S et en taille M; 300 g / 50 g = 6 pelotes en taille L et en taille XL etc... Pour trouver votre taille, mesurez un vêtement similaire que vous avez et dont vous aimez la forme et comparez les mesures à celles du schéma du bas de page. Retrouvez plus d'infos ici. Bon tricot!
