EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN:

-------------------------------------------------------

PATTERN:
See diagrams A.1 and A.2.

1 PUFF STITCH:
Work as follows in the same chain stitch (it is important to work in the stitch, not around the
stitch): * make 1 yarn over, insert hook through chain stitch, make 1 yarn over and pull
through the chain stitch, pull both yarn overs long (to avoid the pu stitches becoming too
small and tight it’s important to pull the stitches as far as possible, ie approximately 2 cm) *,
work from *-* a total of 5 times, make 1 yarn over and pull through all loops on hook.

MEASURING TIP:
Due to the elasticity of the yarn, take all measurements when holding the garment up so
that it is not too long when worn.

DECREASE TIP (for sleeves):

Decrease 1 stitch on the inside of the 2 outermost stitches in each side. Decrease 1 stitch by
skipping 1 stitch. It is di cult to say where the decreases will occur in the pattern, but try to
adjust so that they are worked on a row of treble crochets/chain stitches (not pu stitches).

JUMPER - SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE:

Front and back pieces are worked back and forth in sections, top down as follows: First work
right shoulder front with increases for neck, then left shoulder front with increases for neck,
before the 2 sections are joined and you work back and forth over all stitches to nished
length. The back piece is worked in the same way. The sleeves are worked back and forth,
top down. The garment is sewn together before working the neck.

RIGHT SHOULDER FRONT (when garment is worn):

Work 28-36-36-44-44-52 chain stitches with hook size 4.5 mm and Sky. The rst row is
worked as follows from the right side: Work 1 treble crochet in the 4th chain stitch from the

CROCHET TENSION!
The next row is worked as follows from the wrong side: Work A.1C (= 6 treble crochets), A.1B
over the next 12-18-18-24-24-30 stitches (= 2-3-3-4-4-5 repeats of 6 treble crochets) and
nish with A.1A (= 2 treble crochets). Continue this pattern back and forth until A.1 has been
completed, i.e. the last row has been worked from the wrong side and there are 22-28-28-
34-34-40 treble crochets on the row. Cut the strand, lay the piece to one side and work left
shoulder front as described below.

34-34-40 treble crochets on the row. Do not cut the strand, but work 31-25-31-25-31-31
slightly loose chain stitches for the neck at the end of the last row from the wrong side and
fasten the chain-stitch row with 1 slip stitch in the outermost stitch towards the neck on the

and each chain stitch counts as 1 treble crochet and then over the stitches on the left
shoulder front until there are 7 stitches left on the row) and nish with A.2C (= 7 stitches) =
75-81-87-93-99-111 stitches on row.
