------------------------------------------------------- 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 when working straps and body, work 3 chain stitches, which replace the first double crochet on the row. At the beginning of each row when working the front and back pieces: work 4 chain stitches, which replace the first double crochet on the row. NOTE: There is 1 more chain stitch when working, front and back pieces due to increases for V-neck and armholes. PATTERN: The diagrams show all rows in the pattern from the right side. Remember to read the diagrams from left to right when working from the wrong side. See diagrams A.1 to A.8. Choose diagram for your size (applies to A.1). INCREASE 1 DOUBLE CROCHET: Work 2 double crochets in the 5th stitch from the side. INCREASE 2 DOUBLE CROCHETS: Work 2 double crochets in both the 5th and 6th stitch from the side/mid-front. ------------------------------------------------------- START THE PIECE HERE: ------------------------------------------------------- TOP - SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE: The piece is worked back and forth, top down. The front pieces are worked first as far as the armholes, while increasing for both the armhole and the V-neck. The back piece is worked, while increasing for the armholes. After the armholes, the pieces are joined and the body worked back and forth to finished length. The straps are sewn to the back piece to finish. If there is a «0» in your chosen size, skip the information and go straight to the next instruction. RIGHT STRAP AND FRONT PIECE: Read the whole section before starting! Work 14-14-18-18-20-20 CHAIN STITCHES – read description above, with hook size 3 MM = US C and DROPS Safran. Turn and work the first row from the wrong side as follows: 1 double crochet in the 5th chain stitch from the hook, 1 double crochet in all the other chain stitches = 11-11-15-15-17-17 double crochets (= 10-10-14-14-16-16 double crochets + 4 chain stitches). Read CROCHET INFORMATION and work PATTERN – read description above, working A.1 back and forth for 16-14-16-16-14-16 cm = 6¼"-5½"-6¼"-6¼"-5½"-6¼", with the last row from the wrong side.

Continue this pattern back and forth and INCREASE 1 DOUBLE CROCHET on each side for the armholes on every row (from both the wrong and right side) a total of 8-9-10-12-13-9 times (including the first increase), then INCREASE 2 DOUBLE CROCHETS – remember description above, 2-3-2-2-3-7 times = 89-99-103-113-127-143 stitches.

Cut and fasten the strand. All the pieces are now joined for the body. BODY: Start by working 8 chain stitches, then continue as follows: ROW 1 (= right side): Work 1 double crochet in the 4th chain stitch from the hook, then 1 double crochet in each of the next 4 chain stitches = 6 double crochets for the band (5 double crochets + 3 chain stitches), work 1 double crochet in each of the 47-50-55-63-68-74 stitches from the left front piece, work 6-6-8-8-10-12 chain stitches for the armhole, and 1 double crochet in each of the 97-107-111-121-135-151 stitches on the back piece, work 6-6-8-8-10-12 chain stitches for the armhole and 1 double crochet in each of the 47-50-55-63-68-74 stitches from the right front piece, work 8 chain stitches. Turn. ROW 2 (= wrong side): Work 1 double crochet in the 4th chain stitch from the hook, then 1 double crochet in each of the next 4 chain stitches = 6 double crochets for the band, work 1 double crochet in each stitch until there are 6 stitches left, increasing 0-0-2-0-0-0 double crochets evenly on the row, work A.7 over the last 6 stitches (start on row 2 in the diagram) = 215-231-251-275-303-335 stitches. ROW 3 (= right side) Work A.7 (= band), then 1 double crochet in each stitch until there are 6 stitches left, work A.8 over the last 6 stitches (= band). ROW 4 (= wrong side): Work A.8, then 1 double crochet in each stitch until there are 6 stitches left, work A.7 over the last 6 stitches. Repeat ROWS 3 and 4 until you have worked a total of 6-6-6-8-8-8 rows on the body. Now work as follows from the right side: A.7, work A.6A until there are 9 stitches left, work A.6B and A.8. Work this pattern back from the wrong side. Work 6-6-6-8-8-8 rows with double crochets and the bands as before, then work A.6 over the next 2 rows. Continue like this until A.6 has been worked a total of 3 times in height on the body. When A.6 is finished, continue back and forth with double crochets and bands as before to finished length. AT THE SAME TIME on the first row, increase 8 double crochets evenly spaced in all sizes = 223-239-259-283-311-343 stitches. Work until the piece measures 42-44-46-48-50-52 cm = 16½"-17¼"-18"-19"-19¾"-20½" from the cast-on edge on the straps (body measures approx. 25-26-27-28-29-30 cm = 9¾"-10¼"-10⅝"-11"-11⅜"-11¾"). ASSEMBLY: Sew the straps to the back piece – start outermost on each side and sew stitch to stitch. Sew the buttons evenly onto the left band. The buttons are buttoned between 2 double crochets on the right band. |

Hej, Blir inte riktigt klok på antalet luftmaskor. Det står i beskrivningen att det ska vara 3 luftmaskor när det virkas axelband och fram- och bakstyck och 4 luftmaskor när det virkas framstycken och bakstycke. I både beskrivningen för axelband och bakstycke och diagram A.1 visar det dock 4 luftmaskor, medan diagram A.2 och A.3 visar 3. Kan ni hjälpa mig att förstå när det ska vara 3 eller 4 luftmaskor?

Which part of the CROCHET INFORMATION section should I follow when working on the section called RIGHT STRAP AND FRONT PIECE.

Hi Linda, You use the first sentence when working the strap and the second sentence when the strap is finished and you start on the front piece. Happy crocheting!

Working size M, the stitch count doesn't work for the back instructions. At row 1 there are 69sts, then Inc 1 both ends for 9 rows and both ends for 3rows, total increase is 18+6. Added to 69 stitches I have 93 sts but the pattern says it should be 99. Where have I gone wrong?
22.04.2024 - 17:07DROPS Design answered:
Hi Tina, You increase at the beginning and end of every row 9 times = 18 increased stitches. Then increase 2 stitches at the beginning and end of every row 3 times = 12 stitches. A total of 30 increases which leaves you with 99 stitches. Happy crocheting!
