Materials:
DROPS SAFRAN from Garnstudio (belongs to yarn group A)
500-550-600-650-700-750 g color 50, ice blue
DROPS HOOK size 3.5 mm/E/4 - or size needed to get 21 double crochets x 12 rows = 10 cm / 4'' in width and 10 cm / 4'' vertically.
LACE PATTERN:
See diagrams A.1 to A.3. A.2 shows how round begins and ends when working A.1 (A.2 is an addition to A.1, i.e A.2 replaces 1st stitch).
CROCHET INFO:
Begin every round with double crochets with 3 chain stitches ,finish round with 1 slip stitch in 3rd chain stitch at beginning of round.
Begin every round with single crochet with 1 chain stitch, finish round with 1 slip stitch in 1st chain stitch at beginning of round.
2nd and 5th round in A.3 begins with 3 chain stitches, finish round with 1 slip stitch in 3rd chain stitch at beginning of round.
PATTERN-1 (applies to body):
Work A.3. When A.3 has been worked 1 time vertically, work 5-6-8-9-10-11 rounds with 1 double crochet crochet in every double crochet crochet, then work A.3 one more time.
INCREASE/DECREASE TIP:
To calculate how to increase/decrease evenly, use the total number of stitches on row (e.g. 258 stitches) and divide stitches by number of increases/decreases to be done (e.g. 15) = 17.2. In this example increase after approx. every 17th stitch. If decrease, crochet approx. every 16th and 17th stitch together.
INCREASE TIP-1:
Increase 1 double crochet crochet by working 2 double crochets in same stitch.
INCREASE TIP-2:
Work until 2 double crochets/chain stitches remain before marker thread, work 2 double crochets in/around next double crochet crochet/chain stitch (= 1 double crochet crochet increased), work 1 double crochet crochet in/around each of the next 2 double crochet crochet/chain stitches, marker thread is in the middle of these double crochets/chain stitches, work 2 double crochets in/around next double crochet crochet/chain stitch (= 1 double crochet crochet increased). Repeat increase at every marker thread.
DECREASE TIP:
Decrease 1 double crochet crochet by working the next 2 double crochets together as follows: Work 1 double crochet crochet but wait with last pull through (= 2 loops on hook), then work next double crochet crochet but on last pull through, pull yarn through all 3 loops on hook.

DRESS:
Worked in the round from mid back, top down.
YOKE:
Work 146-146-155-155-163-163 chain stitches on hook size 3.5 mm/E/4 with Safran and form a ring with 1 slip stitch in first chain stitch. Work first round as follows: Work 3 chain stitches - READ CROCHET INFO, 1 double crochet crochet in each of the next 5-5-0-0-1-1 chain stitch, * skip 1 chain stitch, 1 double crochet crochet in each of the next 6 chain stitches *, repeat from *-* the entire round = 126-126-133-133-140-140 double crochets (including 3 chain stitches from the beginning of round). Then work A.1 in the round (= 18-18-19-19-20-20 repetitions of 7 stitches - A.2 shows how every round in A.1 begins and ends and comes in addition to A.1). REMEMBER THE CROCHET GAUGE! On last round in A.1 insert 8 marker threads and crochet as follows: Work as shown in diagram and increase as explained below – READ INCREASE-TIP 1: Work 29-29-31-31-33-33 double crochets and increase 0-0-0-1-0-0 double crochets evenly, insert 1 marker thread in piece, work 4 double crochets and increase 2-4-4-4-4-4 double crochets evenly (= right back piece),

Piece measures approx. 9 cm / 3½''.
Work 0-0-0-0-2-2 rounds with 1 double crochet crochet in every double crochet crochet and increase 0-0-0-0-12-15 double crochets evenly on each of the rounds – READ INCREASE/DECREASE TIP (= 0-0-0-0-24-30 double crochets in total) = 222-234-246-252-282-288 double crochets. Move marker threads upwards when working. Repeat A.3 37-39-41-42-47-48 times in total in width. On 2nd round (i.e. round with double crochets) increase at every marker thread – READ INCREASE TIP-2 and increase 2-8-8-8-8-8 double crochets evenly on round (= 2 double crochets increased at every marker thread and 2-8-8-8-8-8 double crochets increase evenly = 18-24-24-24-24-24 double crochets increased on round) = 240-258-270-276-306-312 double crochets. Now repeat A.3 40-43-45-46-51-52 times in width. Repeat increase on last round in A.3 (i.e. 2 double crochets increased at every marker thread and 2-8-8-8-8-8 double crochets increased evenly = 18-24-24-24-24-24 double crochets increased in total on round) = 258-282-294-300-330-336 double crochets.
