CROCHET INFO:
Beg every round with 3 ch and finish with 1 sl st in 3rd ch.

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

DECREASE TIP:
Work 1 tr around next ch-space but wait with last pull through, work next tr around next ch-space (do not work 2 ch between tr), on last pull through, pull yarn through all 3 loops on hook.
----------------------------------------------------------

CIRCLE:
Worked in the round from the centre of circle and outwards. Work 8 ch on hook size 3.5 mm with Baby Merino and form a ring with 1 sl st in first ch. Then repeat A.1 7 times in total on round - READ CROCHET INFO. When A.1 has been worked 1 time vertically, work as follows: * Work A.2 over fan in A.1, work A.3 over the remaining tr/ch in A.1 *, repeat from *-* 7 times in total. REMEMBER THE CROCHET TENSION! When A.2 and A.3 have been worked 1 time vertically, there are 378 tr/ch on round (= 4 tr/ch in every repetition of A.2 and 50 tr/ch in every repetition of A.3). NOTE: Every fan consist of 3 tr worked tog (= 1 tr), 2 ch and 3 tr worked tog (= 1 tr). Then repeat A.2 and A.3 vertically, continue with pattern over the remaining tr/ch as before (i.e. Work fan over fan and 1 tr around every ch-space and 2 ch between every tr as before). Insert 1 marker before every A.2 (= 7 markers in piece). First marker marks beg of round. Move the markers upwards when working.

Work until piece measures 18-19-20 cm the centre (= 36-38-40 cm in diameter). Then work as follows: Work pattern as before until 2nd marker (= 1 repetition of pattern), skip 16-17-18 ch-spaces (incl ch-space in A.2 and between fans in A.3 i.e. all ch-spaces), work 48-51-54 ch for armhole, work pattern as before until 16-17-18 ch-spaces remain before 7th marker (incl ch-space in A.2 and fans between A.3 i.e all ch-spaces), skip these ch-spaces, work 48-51-54 ch for armhole, work as before the rest of round. Then work pattern as before, work around ch-row over each armhole. When piece measures approx. 39-42-45 cm from centre (= 78-84-90 cm in diameter), work back and forth over front pieces. Fasten off.

LEFT FRONT PIECE:
Work back and forth. Insert 1 marker in piece, NOW MEASURE PIECE FROM HERE. Start at 2nd marker. Work from RS: 1 dc in ch-space before A.2, 4 ch, continue to work pattern as before (i.e. A.2 and A.3) until 4th marker, finish with 1 tr around next ch-space, turn piece.

Now work short rows as follows:
Work 3 ch, skip 1 ch-space, 1 dc around next ch-space, 3 ch (these 2 ch-spaces will not be worked in again), 1 tr around next ch-space, work pattern as before until 2 ch-spaces remain (i.e. ch-spaces between tr, these ch-spaces will no longer be worked in), turn work. Continue pattern and short rows like this. I.e. continue to inc in A.3. Work until piece measures 16-17-18 cm from marker. Fasten off.

RIGHT FRONT PIECE:
Work as left front piece but now work between 5th and 7th marker.

EDGE:
Work 1 edge around the entire jacket as follows: Start from 1st marker. Work * 1 dc around first/next ch-space, 3 ch, 1 dc around next ch-space *, repeat from *-* around the entire circle. Fasten off.

SLEEVE:
Sleeve is worked in the round, top down. Work 96-102-108 ch on hook size 3.5 mm with Baby Merino.
ROUND 1: Work 3 ch, * 2 ch, skip 2 ch, 1 tr in next ch *, repeat from *-* in ch on row, work 2 ch and 1 tr around the first 3 ch = 32-34-36 ch-spaces - READ CROCHET TIP - explanation above.

Continue to work 2 ch and 1 tr around every ch-space. When piece measures 4 cm, dec 1 ch-space before marker - READ DECREASE TIP! NOTE: BE CAREFUL NOT TO DISPLACE THE MARKER.
Repeat dec alternately on each side of marker every
2½-3-3 cm 13-11-11 more times = 18-22-24 ch-spaces. When piece measures 42 cm for all sizes, finish round with 1 sl st in last ch mid under sleeve. Continue in the round as follows: Work A.4 9-11-12 times on round. Repeat A.4 2 times in total vertically. Then work A.5 over A.4. When A.5 has been worked 1 time vertically, work A.6 over A.5 2 times in total vertically. Fasten off. The piece now measures approx. 53 cm in all sizes. Work another sleeve the same way.

ASSEMBLY:
Work sleeves tog with circle as follows: 1 sl st, * 2 ch, 1 sl st around next ch-space *, repeat from *-*.
