------------------------------------------------------- EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN: ------------------------------------------------------- CROCHET INFO: At the beginning of each round/row of single crochets replace the first single crochet with 1 chain stitch. The round ends with 1 slip stitch in the first chain stitch from the previous round. The row finishes with 1 slip stitch in the 3rd chain stitch from the previous row. At the beginning of each round/row of double crochets replace the first double crochet with 3 chain stitches. The round ends with 1 slip stitch in the 3rd chain stitch from the previous round. The row finishes with 1 slip stitch in the first chain stitch from the previous row. TEXTURED ROWS/ROUNDS: * 1 row/round of single crochets, 1 row/round of double crochets *, work from *-* (These 2 rows = 1 textured row). INCREASE TIP: Increase 1 single/double crochet by working 2 single/double crochets in the same stitch. PATTERN: See diagram A.1. ------------------------------------------------------- START THE PIECE HERE: ------------------------------------------------------- DRESS: The piece is worked top down, back and forth from mid-back, to the bottom of the split at the back, then finished in the round. YOKE: Work 67-71-75-79 (79-83-87) chain stitches (including 1 chain stitch to turn with) using hook size 3.5 MM = US 4 and cerise. Work 1 single crochet in the 2nd chain stitch from the hook, then 1 single crochet in each chain stitch to the end of the row = 66-70-74-78 (78-82-86) single crochets. Now insert 4 marker threads in the piece as follows (start mid-back – NOTE: Do NOT work the stitches): Skip 9-10-11-12 (12-13-14) single crochets (= right back piece), insert 1 marker thread in the next single crochet, skip 13 single crochets (= sleeve), insert 1 marker thread in the next single crochet, skip 18-20-22-24 (24-26-28) single crochets (= front piece), insert 1 marker thread in the next single crochet, skip 13 single crochets (= sleeve) and insert 1 marker thread in the next single crochet (there are 9-10-11-12 (12-13-14) single crochets for the left back piece. READ THE WHOLE OF THE NEXT SECTION BEFORE CONTINUING! Read CROCHET INFO and work the next row from the right side as follows: 1 double crochet in each single crochet, but in each stitch with a marker thread work 2 double crochets + 2 chain stitches + 2 double crochets = 78-82-86-90 (90-94-98) double crochets. Continue with TEXTURED ROWS – read description above (working back and forth with 1 single/double crochet in each stitch from the previous row, but on each row of single crochets from the wrong side work 2 chain stitches over the 2 chain stitches from the previous row = raglan-line). On the next row from the right side (row of double crochets) increase to raglan as follows: Work 2 double crochets + 2 chain stitches + 2 double crochets around each chain-space in each raglan-line (= 16 double crochets increased on the row, NOTE: Work around both chain-spaces). Increase like this on every row from the right side 4-4-5-5 (6-7-8) times = 142-146-166-170 (186-206-226) stitches. REMEMBER THE CROCHET GAUGE! After the last increase, work 1 row of single crochets from the wrong side as before. The piece measures approx. 6-6-8-8 (9-10-11) cm = 2⅜"-2⅜"-3⅛"-3⅛" (3½"-4"-4⅜"). Now the piece is divided for body and sleeves, the next row is worked as follows from the right side: 1 double crochet in each of the first 19-20-23-24 (26-29-32) stitches (= right back piece), skip 33-33-37-37 (41-45-49) single crochets (= sleeve), work 6-8-6-10 (10-8-6) chain stitches under the sleeve, 1 double crochet in each of the next 38-40-46-48 (52-58-64) stitches (= front piece), skip 33-33-37-37 (41-45-49) single crochets (= sleeve), work 6-8-6-10 (10-8-6) chain stitches under the sleeve and 1 double crochet in each of the last 19-20-23-24 (26-29-32) single crochets (= left back piece). Continue working in the round. BODY: Join the piece mid-back with the right side out and work 1 round of single crochets (1 single crochet in each double crochet from the previous row and 1 single crochet in each chain stitch under the sleeves – remember CROCHET INFO) = 88-96-104-116 (124-132-140) stitches. Insert 1 marker in each side = 44-48-52-58 (62-66-70) stitches on the front and back pieces; they will be used when increasing. Continue in the round with TEXTURED ROUNDS. When the piece measures approx. 2 cm = ¾" from the division, increase 1 stitch on each side of both markers – read INCREASE TIP (= 4 stitches increased). Increase like this every 1½-2-3-3 (3-3½-4) cm = ½"-¾"-1⅛"-1⅛" (1⅛"-1¼"-1½") a total of 6-7-7-8 (9-9-8) times = 112-124-132-148 (160-168-172) stitches. When the piece measures 13-19-21-25 (28-31-33) cm = 5⅛"-7½"-8¼"-9¾" (11"-12¼"-13") from the division (finish after 1 round of double crochets; the increases should be finished by now), work 1 round of single crochets AT THE SAME TIME as you increase 8-2-0-2 (2-0-2) single crochets evenly spaced = 120-126-132-150 (162-168-174) single crochets. Cut the strand. Change to pink and work 1 round of single crochets, with 1 single crochet in each stitch. Then work the fan-pattern as shown in diagram A.1, i.e. work as follows: ROUND 1: * 3 chain stitches, skip 2 single crochets, 1 single crochet in the next stitch *, work from *-* to the end of the round and finish with 1 slip stitch in the first chain stitch at the beginning of the round = 40-42-44-50 (54-56-58) chain-spaces. ROUND 2: Work slip stitches to the middle of the first chain-space, 3 chain stitches (= 1 double crochet), * 3 double crochets + 2 chain stitches + 3 double crochets around the next chain-space, 1 double crochet around the next chain-space *, work from *-* until there is 1 chain-space left, work 3 double crochets + 2 chain stitches + 3 double crochets around the last chain-space and finish with 1 slip stitch in the 3rd chain stitch at the beginning of the round = 20-21-22-25 (27-28-29) double-crochet groups with 1 double crochet between each one. ROUNDS 3-4: 3 chain stitches (= 1 double crochet), * 3 double crochets + 2 chain stitches + 3 double crochets around the next chain-space in the middle of the next double-crochet group, 1 double crochet in the next double crochet *, work from *-* to the end of the round and finish with 3 double crochets + 2 chain stitches + 3 double crochets around the chain-space in the middle of the last double-crochet group and 1 slip stitch in the 3rd chain stitch at the beginning of the round. ROUND 5: Work as rounds 3-4, but around the chain-spaces in the middle of the double-crochet groups work 4 double crochets + 2 chain stitches + 4 double crochets (instead of 3 double crochets + 2 chain stitches + 3 double crochets). Repeat Round 5 until the edge measures approx. 6 cm = 2⅜" in all sizes (or to desired length). Then work the last round in the same way, but with 5 double crochets + 2 chain stitches + 5 double crochets around the chain-spaces in the middle of each double-crochet groups. SHAPING THE NECK: For a better fit, work a small elevation at the back of the neck. Insert 1 marker thread in each "corner" stitch on the neck; i.e. the beginning of each raglan-line and 1 marker mid front. Using hook size 3.5 MM = US 4 and cerise and starting mid-back, work 1 single crochet in each stitch until there is 1 stitch left before the marker-thread stitch, work 1 half-double crochet in the next stitch, 1 double crochet in the marker-thread stitch and 1 half-double crochet in the next stitch, then work 1 single crochet in each stitch until there is 1 stitch left before the next marker-thread stitch, work 1 half-double crochet in the next stitch, 1 double crochet in the marker-thread stitch and 1 half-double crochet in the next stitch, continue with 1 single crochet until there are 4-4-5-5 (5-6-6) stitches left before the marker mid-front. Turn the piece and work 1 single crochet in each stitch to mid-back, but at each marker thread work 3 single crochets together, i.e. work 1 single crochet in the half-double crochet but wait with the last pull-through, work 1 single crochet in the marker-thread stitch, but wait with the last pull-through, work 1 single crochet in the next half-double crochet, and pull the final yarn over through all 4 loops on the hook (= 2 single crochets decreased). Cut the strand and repeat from mid-back to mid-front on the other side. BUTTON BAND: Work along the left side of the opening mid-back with cerise as follows: 1 single crochet around each single-crochet row and 2 single crochets around each double-crochet row. Work a total of 4 rows of single crochets back and forth. Cut and fasten the strand. Along the right side of the opening work buttonholes as follows (starting from the right side at the neck): Work 3 chain stitches, work 1 single crochet around the first single crochet row and 2 single crochets around the double crochet row, work 4 chain stitches (= 1 buttonhole), skip 1 cm = ⅜", continue with single crochets to the middle of the band, 4 chain stitches, skip 1 cm = ⅜", continue with single crochets until there is 1 cm = ⅜" left, 4 chain stitches and finish with 1 single crochet in the last stitch. Cut and fasten the strand. NECK: Work around the neck with pink from the right side as follows: 1 single crochet in the first stitch, * 2 chain stitches, skip 2 stitches, 1 single crochet in the next stitch *, work from *-* to end of row. Cut and fasten the strand. FAN-PATTERN AROUND SLEEVES: Work with pink from the right side as follows: 1 single crochet in each of the 6-8-6-10 (10-8-6) stitches under the sleeve, then continue around the sleeve and * skip 2 stitches, work 3 double crochets + 2 chain stitches + 3 double crochets in the next stitch, skip 2 stitches, 1 single crochet in the next stitch *, work from *-* and finish the round with 1 slip stitch in the first single crochet at the beginning of the round. Cut and fasten the strand. Repeat around the other sleeve. ASSEMBLY: Thread the silk ribbon up and down through a row of double crochets approx. 2 cm = ¾" under the armholes, starting mid-front. Sew the buttons onto the button-band. |

This is a question: In the pattern of Spring Awaits and in the Yoke section. 1st line: At the end of the line you have size 3.5 mm and cerise. What does cerise mean?
06.04.2024 - 16:27DROPS Design answered:
Dear Patricia, if you want to make sure you will get an answer, please select "question" from the roll down menue. As for your question, "cerise" is one of the color the pattern is made with. (It is the main color, the darker pink shade). Happy Crafting!

Øvre del (bærestykke) blir forskjellig fra nedre del (bol) ettersom øvre del hekles frem og tilbake, mens nedre del hekles rundt. Dette vises ikke på bildet her. Takknemlig for svar da jeg ble veldig usikker på mitt resultat.
01.03.2024 - 15:52DROPS Design answered:
Hei Asbjørg. Hva tenker du hva blir forskjell? Strukturen? Husk HEKLEINFO, slik at startmasken(e) blir en loddrett strek nedover. Husk å hekle i begge maskebuene når det hekles fastmasker og staver. mvh DROPS Design

Muchas gracias por este y otros patrones! Son trabajos hermosos! Tengo una duda: cuando dice “FILAS DE TEXTURA […] en cada fila de puntos bajos por el lado revés trabajar 2 puntos de cadeneta sobre los 2 puntos de cadeneta desde la fila anterior = línea del raglán). “ los 2 puntos trabajados por el revés son cadenetas o puntos bajos? Agradecida desde ya!
28.02.2024 - 01:27DROPS Design answered:
Hola Yaz, el patrón de textura es: 1 fila de puntos bajos, 1 fila de puntos altos. Como se explica en el texto, en las filas de puntos altos, en los puntos con marcapuntos trabajas: 2 puntos altos, 2 cadenetas, 2 puntos altos. Cuando trabajes la fila de puntos bajos, trabajas 1 punto bajo en cada punto alto y, sobre estas 2 cadenetas de la fila de puntos altos, trabajas 2 cadenetas.

Hej igen I skal lige kontrollere hvordan I formulere jeres forklaringer i hækleinfo også. Sammenlign gerne med jeres engelske version, som er let læselig og lettere at forstå. Mvh Mina

Hej Jeg vil lige informere jer at der er fejl i jeres danske oversættelse. STRUKTURRÆKKER: * 1 række/omgang fastmasker, 1 række/omgang stangmasker *, hækl fra *-* (1 række/omgang fastmasker + 1 række/omgang stangmasker = 1 strukturrække).. TEXTURED ROWS/ROUNDS: * 1 row/round of double crochets, 1 row/round of treble crochets *, work from *-* (These 2 rows = 1 textured row). Det skaber forvirring når man hækler som begynder. Håber I retter fejlen Mvh Mina

I am having trouble matching the stitch count. I count stitches every row and still do not come up with 226 stitches at the end of repeat # 8. I have 216 stitches and the pattern says I should have 226. Suggestions?
04.08.2023 - 17:40DROPS Design answered:
Dear Ruth, the stitch count should be correct. You have 98 treble crochets before you start increasing. Then, you increase 16 stitches on every row from the right side 8 times. So, in total, you increase 128 stitches. 128 stitches + 98 stitches = 226 stitches. Happy crochetting!

I need some help with the body section of the dress. i am starting to do rounds of the body section and i was hoping for some sort of video explanation of the increases.
27.04.2023 - 22:58DROPS Design answered:
Dear Becky, at the very beginning of body part you have inserted 2 markers: 1 on each side; you will now increase on each side of these both markers: work until 1 stitch remain before marker, work 2 sts in next stitch, marker, work 1 sts in next stitch and repeat to next marker. Happy crocheting!

Can this pattern be crocheted with acrylic?
16.01.2023 - 04:13DROPS Design answered:
Hi Kelly, Our yarns are spun t a standard thickness, so all yarns in the same yarn group can be used for this pattern. Drops Safran is from yarn group A, so you need to find an acrylic yarn from the same group. Happy crocheting!

Hei. Når man kommer dit at man hekler bolen, rundt og rundt. Og følger hekleinfoen. Etter noen omganger vises det tydelig at selve \"sømmen\" skrår skjevt ut mot høyre. Det blir jo slik fordi maskene i neste omgang alltid hekles bittelitt til høyre for tilsvarende maske i forrige omgang. Dette blir ikke pent, så tar imot tips hvis noen vet hvordan man får linja for omgang-skift til å strekke seg nitti grader på første heklede omgang. Eller må sømmen bli skjev?
13.10.2021 - 11:10DROPS Design answered:
Hei Sissel. Det blir en bitteliten helning mot høyre. Du kan evnt bare hekle fastmasker rundt og rundt, men da påse at du hele tiden har det maskeantallen du skal ha (fort gjort å minske). Evnt hekle rundt, men når luftmasken hekles så snus arbeidet, slik at du hekler frem og tilbake. En omgang fra retten, neste fra vrangen og du fester omgangen med kjedemasken og snur samtidig som luftmasken hekles. Prøv på en liten prøvelapp først og se om du syns det blir bedre. mvh DROPS Design

Virkar storlek 3/4 år och efter de 7 ökningarna för raglan så har jag för lite maskor. Jag har 27/41/ 54/41/27 maskor, luftmaskor oräknade. Enligt mönstret ska det vara 29/45/58/45/29... En åttonde ökning fixar ju det hela men är det jag som gjort nåt fel eller stämmer inte mönstret?

Hej Margaretha, har du 206 masker ellers er du nødt til at øge en gang til for at få fortsættelsen til at stemme. God fornøjelse!
