INFORMATION FOR THE PATTERN:
PATTERN:
See diagrams A.1 to A.5. Choose diagram for your size (applies to A.5a and A.5c).
----------------------------------------------------------
JUMPER:
The piece is worked in the round from middle of front/back piece and
outwards. You first work a circle, then continue so that it becomes a
square making the front/back piece. Then the shoulders are worked and
finally you work back and forth along bottom of body. The sleeves are
worked in the round, top down.
BACK PIECE:
Start with crochet hook size 5.5 mm and Paris and work pattern according
to diagram A.1b a total of 10 times on the round (A.1a shows how the
rounds start and finish). REMEMBER THE CROCHET TENSION! When A.1a and
A.1b are finished, the circle measures approx. 40 cm in diameter.
Continue working to make a square as follows: Start on the round with an
arrow and work A.2b a total of 4 times in the round (A.2a shows how the
rounds start and finish). When A.2a and A.2b are finished the piece
measures approx. 47 x 47 cm. Cut the strand.
Fasten the strand with 1 double crochet around the chain-space marked
with a black star - see last round in A.2b, and work from the round
marked with an arrow as follows:
Work A.3a (shows how the rounds start and finish), work A.3b in the same
chain-space and the next chain-space (= corner), * work A.3c to the
next corner (= 10 repeats), work A.3b around the next 2 chain-spaces (=
corner) *, work from *-* 2 more times, work A.3c to the start of the
round.
Work the last round in the diagrams. Sizes S + M + L + XL are now finished.
For sizes XXL + XXXL continue by repeating the last 2 rounds 1 more time in height
All sizes:
There are now 2-2-2-2-4-4 rounds of A.3a - A.3c around the square and
13-13-13-13-15-15 fans (= 2 treble crochets + 3 chain stitches + 2
treble crochets) along each side of the square. The piece measures
approx. 55-55-55-55-63-63 x 55-55-55-55-63-63 cm. Cut the strand.
Sizes S + M are finished. For sizes L + XL + XXL + XXXL continue working
outwards on each side of the back piece. Fasten the strand with 1
double crochet around the middle chain-space in one of the corners and
work from the row with an arrow from the right side as follows:
Work A.4a, A.4b until there is 1 treble crochet group left (= 2 treble
crochets + 3 chain stitches + 2 treble crochets) before the next corner,
A.4c.
Repeat the last 2 rows of A.4a - A.4c until you have worked a total of 1-2-2-3 rows in height.
