CROCHET HOOK:
DROPS CROCHET HOOK SIZE 5 mm = US H/8

switch to larger hook. If you have too few stitches on 10 cm = 4” switch to
smaller hook.
----------------------------------------------------------
BAND TIP:
It is important that diagrams A.15, A.16, A.22 and A.23 are not worked too tight (= band stitches). It is
especially important when decreasing for V-neck.
PATTERN:
See diagrams A.1 and A.23. Not all diagrams are used in all sizes.
DECREASE TIP:
Decrease 1 double crochet by working 2 double crochets together as follows: Work 1 double crochet but
wait with last yarn over and pull through, work 1 double crochet more the same way. Make 1 yarn over and
pull through all loops on hook(= 1 double crochet decreased).

READ ALL OF THE FOLLOWING SECTION BEFORE CONTINUING!

1/8”-16 1/2”-17” in total. Then work armholes in the left side of front piece by no longer working over the
outermost 2-2-3-3-3-3 stitches in the side (opposite side of band). This is done on a row from right side:
End row when 2-2-3-3-3-3 stitches remain. This is done on a row from wrong side: Cut the yarn, begin to
work in the 3rd-3rd-4th-4th-4th-4th stitch from the side. NOTE: Continue bobble pattern upwards as
before but adjust not to work in the 3 outermost stitches towards the side (replace 1 bobble with 1 double
crochet).
AT THE SAME TIME when piece measures 40-39-43-45-42-48 cm = 15 3/4”-15 1/4”-17”-17 3/4”-16
1/2”-19” decrease 1 stitch inside 5 band stitches by working 2 double crochets together – read DECREASE
TIP. Repeat decrease every other row 8-8-9-9-10-10 times in total. NOTE: Continue bobble pattern
upwards as before but adjust not to work in the 4 outermost stitches towards the band (replace 1 bobble
with 1 double crochet).
AT THE SAME TIME when piece measures approx. 48-50-52-54-56-58 cm = 19”-19 3/4"-20 1/2"-21
1/4"-22"-22 3/4" bobble are no longer worked, replace 1 bobble with 1 double crochet. When all decreases
for V-neck and armholes are done there are 30-33-34-37-40-44 stitches on row.
Continue to work until piece measures 56-58-60-62-64-66 cm = 22"-22 3/4"-23 5/8"-24 3/8"-25 1/4"-26".
The shoulder is now done, work now over the 5 band stitches (= neck edge to be fastened to neck edge on
back piece). If last row was from wrong side, turn piece and work from right side. If last row was from
right side, cut the yarn and work from wrong side in the 5 band stitches. Work until piece measures
approx. 7-7-8-8-9-9 cm = 2 3/4”-2 3/4”-3 1/8”-3 1/8”-3 1/2”-3 1/2” from shoulder. Cut the yarn, but
leave approx. 20 cm = 8” - this is used for assembly later.
SLEEVES:
Work 52-54-56-58-62-66 loose chain stitches on hook size 5 mm = US H/8 and Air. Work 2-2-3-3-3-3 rows
with double crochets back and forth (sew body to sleeve here later). Then work double crochets back and
forth, but put every row together with 1 slip stitch in first double crochet worked on row and turn piece (so
that texture is the same the entire sleeve and to avoid sewing together at the end). Work until piece
measures 20-19-18-17-15-13 cm = 8”-7 1/2”-7”-6 3/4”-6”-5 1/8” in total (approx. 34 cm = 13 3/8”
remain until finished measurements for all sizes). Now increase 2 double crochets on the under side of
sleeve, increase by working 2 double crochets inside first and last double crochet on row (= 2 double
crochets increased). Repeat increase every 3rd row 8 times in total = 68-70-72-74-78-82 stitches.
Work until piece measures 48-47-46-45-43-41 cm = 19”-18 1/2”-18”-17 3/4”-17”-16 1/8” (NOTE! shorter
measurements in the larger sizes because of wider shoulders). On next row decrease by working 2 and 2
double crochets together entire row = 34-35-36-37-39-41 stitches. Work 1 more row and decrease 6-7-4-
5-3-5 stitches evenly = 28-28-32-32-36-36 stitches. Now work an edge at the bottom of sleeve as follows
from right side: Work 3 chain stitches (= replace 1st double crochet), work 1 double crochet around next
double crochet from front of piece, * work 1 double crochet around each of the 2 next double crochets
from back of piece, work 1 double crochet around each of the next 2 double crochet from front of piece *,
work from *-* the entire round. Continue to work like this until edge measures approx. 4 cm = 1 1/2”,
sleeve measures approx. 54-53-52-51-49-47 cm = 21 1/4”-21”-20 1/2”-20”-19 1/4”-18 1/2”. Cut and
fasten the yarn.
Work another sleeve the same way.
ASSEMBLY:
Sew shoulder seams edge to edge to avoid a chunky seam. Sew in sleeves – the section worked back and
forth at the top of sleeve is fastened to front/back piece where armholes were made. Sew side seams. Sew
end of the 5 band stitches from left front piece together with end of 5 band stitches on right side - make
sure that band does not twist = neck edge. Place edge of band stitches so that it is edge to edge with neck
on back piece, fasten band with small stitches. Fasten button on left band, button through stitches on right
band. Top button should be where V-neck begins and bottom button should be placed approx. 2 cm = 3/4”
from edge at the bottom. Then place the remaining 3-3-3-4-4-4 button evenly between these.
Diagram explanations
= Row begins with 3 chain stitches, these replace 1st double crochet in diagram. On next row work
last double crochet in the third of these chain stitches.
= doube crochet in stitch
= work 1 double crochet around next double crochet from the back of piece
= work 1 double crochet around next double crochet from the front of piece
