Size: S/M – L/XL - XXL - XXXL
Materials:
DROPS PARIS from Garnstudio
650-800-900-1000 g color no 01, apricot

DROPS CROCHET Hook size 5 mm / H/8 – or size needed to get 14 dc x 8.5 rows = 4'' x 4'' (10 x 10 cm).

PATTERN:
See diagrams A.1 to A.9.

CROCHET INFO:
Beg every sc row with 1 ch (replaces first sc).
Beg every dc row with 3 ch (replaces first dc).
Beg every tr row with 4 ch (replaces first tr).

INCREASE TIP:
Inc 1 dc by working 2 dc in/around same st.

CROCHET TIP (applies to sleeves):
After last sc on the round, continue to next round with 1 sc around next ch-space (= first ch-space on next round). NOTE: Insert a marker at the beg of round between last ch and first sc on the round, move the marker upwards. NOTE: BE CAREFUL NOT TO DISPLACE THE MARKER.

DECREASE TIP:
Work 1 sc around next ch-space but wait with last pull through, work next sc around next ch-space (do not work 5 ch between sc), on last pull through, pull yarn through all 3 loops on hook.

JACKET:
Work 207-229-252-275 ch on hook size 5 mm / H/8 with Paris. Work 1 dc in 4th ch from hook (= 2 dc) - READ CROCHET INFO, 1 dc in each of the next 3-5-3-1 ch, * skip ch 1, 1 dc in each of the next 4 ch *, repeat from *-* the entire row = 165-183-201-219 dc.

Then work NEXT TO LAST row of diagram A.1 to A.5 - see arrow in chart - as follows: Work A.1 over the first 4 dc, work A.2 over the next 6 dc, repeat A.3 until 11 dc remain (= 24-27-30-33 times in total in width), work A.4 over the next 7 dc and finish with A.5. Work last row of A.1 to A.5. REMEMBER THE CROCHET GAUGE! Then repeat A.1 to A.5 vertically. NOTE: Do not work first row in diagram, it shows how next row should be worked in sts from previous row. When piece measures 37-38-41-42 cm / 14½"-15"-16"-16½", adjust so that next row is with dc and from RS (cut the yarn if next row is from WS), divide the piece.

RIGHT FRONT PIECE:
Continue as follows from RS: Work A.1 and A.2 as before, repeat A.3 over the next 36-42-48-54 dc (= 6-7-8-9 times in total in width), work A.4 and then A.5, turn piece. Continue pattern like this over these sts until piece measures 18-19-20-21 cm / 7"-7½"-8"-8 1/4" from where it was divided, adjust so that next row is with dc and from WS (cut the yarn if next row is from RS).

BACK PIECE:
Work as follows from RS: Work A.1, A.2, repeat A.3 over the next 30-36-42-48 dc (= 5-6-7-8 times in total in width), A.4, finish with A.5. Continue pattern like this over these sts until piece measures 18-19-20-21 cm / 7"-7½"-8"-8 1/4", adjust pattern according to right front piece.

LEFT FRONT PIECE:
Work as right front piece.

FRONT AND BACK PIECE:
Then work the parts tog from WS (i.e. work from left front piece, over back piece and to right front piece) with pattern as before, i.e. work as follows from WS: Work A.5 and A.4 as before, A.3 24-27-30-33 times in total in width, A.2, finish with A.1. Continue pattern like this. When piece measures 63-67-73-77 cm / 24 3/4"-26½"-28 3/4"-30½" in total, adjust so that next row is with dc, inc 4-2-0-14 dc evenly – READ INCREASE TIP = 169-185-201-233 dc. Then work next row as follows: A.6 over the first 4 dc, repeat A.7 until 5 dc remain (= 10-11-12-14 times in width), A.8 over next dc, finish with A.9 over the last 4 dc. When A.6 to A.9 have been worked 1 time vertically, piece measures approx. 71-75-81-85 cm / 28"-29½"-32"-33½" in total. Fasten off.

SLEEVE:
Sleeve is worked in the round, top down. Work 78-78-83-83 ch on hook size 5 mm / H/8 with Paris.
ROUND 1: Work 1 sc in 13th ch from hook, * ch 5, skip ch 4, 1 sc in next ch *, repeat from *-* over ch, work 1 sc around the first 3 ch = 14-14-15-15 ch-spaces - READ CROCHET TIP!

Continue to work 5 ch and 1 sc around every ch-space. When piece measures 4 cm / 1½'', dec 1 ch-space before marker - READ DECREASE TIP!

Repeat dec alternately on each side of marker every 4 cm / 1½'' 4 more times = 9-9-10-10 ch-spaces.
When piece measures 26 cm / 10 1/4'', finish round with 1 sl st in last ch mid under sleeve. Continue in the round as follows:
ROUND 1: Work ch 3, * 4 dc around first/next ch-space, 3 dc around next ch-space *, repeat from *-* the entire round, finish with 1 sl st in 3rd ch at beg of round = 32-32-35-35 dc. Fasten off.

Work another sleeve the same way.

ASSEMBLY:
Fasten sleeve to jacket, sew in outer loops of edge sts, and make sure to avoid a tight seam.
