Pattern for DROPS 90-15
Crochet tension: Remember hook size is only a guide.
9 double treble crochets = approx. 10 cm in width and 1 row of double treble crochets measures approx. 3 cm in height.
NOTE: Due to different crochet techniques, the crochet tension can vary from person to person; you can increase or decrease a hook
size if necessary to get the right tension.
Pattern: See Diag.1 and Diag.2.
Rib: *K3, P3 *, repeat from *-*.
Ridge/Garter stitch (back and forth on needle):
1 ridge = Knit 2 rows.
Crochet info: At the beginning of each row of double treble crochets replace 1 double treble crochet with 4 chain stitches. Work in
each double treble crochet - i.e. work in the treble crochet from the previous row and not between the treble crochets.
Decrease tip: Decrease as follows at beginning of row:
Replace 1 double treble crochet with 1 slip stitch.
Decrease as follows at end of row:
Turn piece when the number of double treble crochets left on the row is the same as the number to be decreased and work back.
Measuring tip: Measure when the piece is lying flat and in the right shape.
-------------------------------------------------------
Back piece: Read Crochet info! Work 69-75-81-87-93 chain stitches with hook size 7 mm and Ice.
The first row is worked as follows: Work 1 double treble crochet in the 5th chain stitch from the hook, * skip 1 chain stitch, 1 double
treble crochet in each of the next 2 chain stitches *, repeat from *-* and finish with 1 double treble crochet in the last chain stitch = 45-
49-53-57-61 double treble crochets.
Then work pattern according to Diag.1. Remember the crochet tension! At the same time on rows 1 and 3 in the second and third
repeat in height of Diag.1, decrease 1 double treble crochet in each side = 37-41-45-49-53 double treble crochets - see Decrease tip.
When piece measures approx. 59-61-63-65-67 cm - adjust so that you are decreasing on 1 row of double treble crochets (NOTE: If
you decrease in row 2 in Diag.1, 1 chain stitch is equivalent to 1 double treble crochet when decreasing) - decrease 2-4-4-6-8 double
treble crochets i in each side for armholes - read Decrease tip and Measuring tip = 33-33-37-37-37 double treble crochets. When you
have worked Diag.1 a total of 4 times in height (piece measures approx. 75 cm) work the first row in Diag.1 to finished length (i.e. work
double treble crochets; make sure the number of double treble crochets is correct). At the same time, when piece measures 75-78-
81-84-87 cm work the last row with just 10-10-12-12-12 double treble crochets in each side for shoulder. Cut the strand, piece
measures approx. 78-81-84-87-90 cm.
Right front piece: Read the whole section before continuing! Work 33-39-39-45-51 chain stitches with hook size 7 mm and Ice.
The first row is worked as follows: Work 1 double treble crochet in the 5th chain stitch from the hook, * skip 1 chain stitch, 1 double
treble crochet in each of the next 2 chain stitches *, repeat from *-* and finish with 1 double treble crochet in the last chain stitch = 21-
25-25-29-33 double treble crochets.
Continue by working according to Diag.1.
Side decreases: At the same time on rows 1 and 3 in the second and third repeat in height of Diag.1, decrease in the side as for back
piece.
Neck decreases: When piece measures 20 cm decrease 1 double treble crochet towards mid front for neck in each row marked with a
star (*) in the diagram a total of 5-7-5-7-9 times - see Decrease tip.
When piece measures approx. 59-61-63-65-67 cm - adjust to match the back piece - decrease for armhole in the side as for back
piece.
After all decreases there are 10-10-12-12-12 double treble crochets left on the shoulder. At the same time, when Diag.1 has been
worked a total of 4 times in height, work the first row in Diag.1 to finished length as for back piece. Cut the strand when piece
measures 78-81-84-87-90 cm.
Left front piece: Work as right, but in reverse.
Sleeve: Work 33-39-39-45-51 chain stitches with hook size 7 mm and Ice.
The first row is worked as follows: Work 1 double treble crochet in the 5th chain stitch from the hook, * skip 1 chain stitch, 1 double
treble crochet in each of the next 2 chain stitches *, repeat from *-* and finish with 1 double treble crochet in the last chain stitch = 21-
25-25-29-33 double treble crochets. Work Diag.1 a total of 2 times, then continue with Diag.2 to finished length. At the same time,
when Diag.1 has been worked 1 time in height (piece measures approx. 21 cm) increase 1 double treble crochet in each side in each
row marked with a star (*) in diag. Increase a total of 5-4-4-4-4 times in each side = 31-33-33-37-41 double treble crochets. When
piece measures approx. 54-54-54-51-48 cm insert 1 marker thread in each side (marks where the sleeve will be sewn to the armhole).
Work 1-1-1-2-3 more rows and cut the strand, piece measures approx. 57 cm.
Assembly: Sew shoulder seams edge to edge with small neat stitches. Sew side seams edge to edge with small neat stitches - sew
through half the treble crochet in each side so that the seam is flat.
Sew sleeve seams in the same way as far as the marker thread and sew in sleeves - the marker thread on the sleeve should meet the
side seam on the body. NOTE: Make sure the seam is not tight.
Band: Knit up approx. 195 to 219 stitches (divisible by 6 + 3) along the right front piece, behind the neck and down the left front piece
with circular needle size 8 mm and Ice. Knit 1 row from the wrong side and knit 1 row from the right side. Then continue with rib with
3 stitches garter stitch and 3 knitted stitches in each side (seen from the right side). When rib measures approx. 7 cm increase all K3
to K4 (seen from the right side) over the middle 21 stitches in back of neck - this is done so that the band will lie neatly at back of neck.
When band measures 12 cm from the ridge, loosely cast off with knit over knit and purl over purl - NOTE: At the same time as you cast
off, increase all P3 to P4 (seen from the right side) over the middle 21 stitches so the edge is not tight at the back of the neck.
