   DECREASE TIP: Work 1 dc around next ch-space but wait with last pull through, work next dc around next ch-space (do not work 3 ch between dc), on last pull through, pull yarn through all 3 loops on hook. CROCHET TIP (applies to sleeve): After last dc on the round, continue to next round with 1 dc in next ch-space (= first ch-space on next round). NOTE: Insert 1 marker at the beg of round between last ch and first dc on the next round, move the marker upwards. NOTE: MAKE SURE NOT TO DISPLACE THE MARKER. ---------------------------------------------------------- JACKET WORKED IN A CIRCLE: Worked in the round from the middle and outwards. Work 4 ch with Cotton Merino on hook size 4 mm / G/6 and form a ring with 1 sl st. Then work pattern according to diagram A.1 (= 6 repetitions in width) NOTE: A.x shows how every round beg and end, and is in addition to pattern. REMEMBER THE CROCHET GAUGE! When entire A.1 has been worked vertically (= 132 dc), continue as follows: Work * A.2 (= 11 dc), A.3 (= 11 dc) *, repeat from *-* 6 times in total. Work up to and with arrow in diagram - see arrow for your size, there are now 228-252-264 sts on round. Work next round as follows: Continue to work over the first 34-36-38 sts, work 36-40-44 ch, and skip the next 36-40-44 sts (= armhole), work until 70-76-82 sts remain, work 36-40-44 ch and skip the next 36-40-44 sts (= armhole), continue to work over the last 34-36-38 sts. On next round continue according to pattern, work pattern as in diagram around ch-spaces in each side. When A.2 and A.3 have been worked, there are 312 dc on round. Continue with A.4 (= 39 repetitions on round). First round in A.4 shows last round in A.2/A.3, do not work this round. Continue to work as follows: Work * A.5 (= 26 dc), A.6 (= 26 dc) *, repeat from *-* 6 times in total. When A.5/A.6 have been worked, there are 600 sts on round (150 dc with 3 ch between each). Finish size S/M here. Size M/L -XXL/XXXL: Work 2-4 more rounds as last round in A.5/A.6 = 162-174 dc with 3 ch between. ALL SIZES: Piece measures approx. 46-49-52 cm / 18"-19 1/4"-20?" from middle (92-98-104 cm / 36 1/4"-38?"-41" in total). FRONT PIECES: Work back and forth in the one side with short rows. Cut the yarn, skip the first 13-16-19 dc on round, then work over the next 49 dc + ch-spaces as follows (insert a marker here): Work ch 3, skip 1 ch-space, 1 sc around next ch-space, 3 ch (these 2 ch-spaces are no longer worked), 1 dc around next ch-space, work pattern as before until 2 ch-spaces remain (i.e. ch-spaces between dc, do not work around these 2 ch-spaces anymore), turn piece. Continue the short rows like this, AT THE SAME TIME inc 1 dc + 3 sts in the middle ch-space on every row (work 1 dc + 3 ch + 1 dc in this space). Continue with inc and dec on every row until piece measures 15 cm / 6'' from marker. Skip 26-32-38 dc, then work short rows over the next 49 dc (13-16-19 dc remain on round). Work the same way as in the other side. CROCHET EDGE: Work an edge around the entire circle as follows: 1 sc around first ch-space, * ch 3, 1 sc around next ch-space *, repeat from *-* and finish with 1 sl st in first sc. Fasten off. SLEEVES: Worked in the round, top down. Beg mid under one armhole, work 1 sc around first ch-space, 6 ch (= 1 dc + 3 ch), skip first dc and work 1 dc around next ch-space, * ch 3, 1 dc around next ch-space *, repeat from *-* the entire round (work 1 dc + 3 ch around dc in corners), finish round with 1 dc around first ch 6, then continue to work in the round without finishing it – READ CROCHET TIP = 21-23-25 dc + 21-23-25 ch-spaces. Continue with 1 dc + 3 ch around every space. When piece measures 4 cm / 1?'', dec 1 ch-space before marker - READ DECREASE TIP! Repeat dec every 4? cm / 1 3/4" 7 more times, dec alternately before and after marker = 13-15-17 dc + 13-15-17 ch-spaces. Continue until piece measures 42-43-44 cm / 16?"-17"-17 1/4". CROCHET EDGE SLEEVES: Crochet an edge around the sleeves as follows: 1 sc around first ch-space, * ch 3, 1 sc around next ch-space *, repeat from *-* and finish with 1 sl st in first sc. Fasten off. Work the other sleeve the same way. Diagram
