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

NOTE: This pattern is written in American English.

Crochet Gauge:
width of 12 sc/tr and length of 4 rows of pattern (i.e. 1 row of sc + 1 row tr x 4) using crochet hook size 5
mm/ H/8 = 10 x 10 cm / 4'' x 4''.
Crochet info:
At the beginning of each row of sc replace the 1st sc with ch 1, and at the beginning of each row of tr
replace the rst tr with ch 4. Finish each row of sc with 1 sc in 4th ch from beginning of previous row.
Finish each row of tr with 1 tr in 1st ch from previous row.

Pattern:
*1 row of sc, 1 row of tr*, repeat from *-* until nished measurements. Note! Crochet in each st and not in
between.

Decreasing tips:
Only dec in rows of tr. Decreasing several tr:
Dec as follows at beginning of row: replace 1 tr with a sl st.
Dec as follows at end of row: Turn the piece when number of tr to be dec are left on row.
Decreasing 1 tr:
Dec 1 tr by crocheting 2 tr together as follows: crochet 1 tr but wait with last yo and pull through (= 2 st on
hook), crochet 1 tr and pull thread through all sts on hook.

Increasing tips:
Increase 1 sc/tr by crocheting 2 sc/tr in last st from previous row. Increase several sc/tr as follows: At the
end of the row of sc before increases are to be made, crochet ch corresponding number of tr to be
increased + 4 ch to turn with – i.e. if you are to increase 4 tr crochet ch 7, turn the piece, crochet 1 tr in
5th ch from the hook and then 1 tr in each of the next ch 2, continue on row.

Measuring tips:
Because of the weight of the yarn, all measurements should be made while the garment is hanging.
