Instructions

The tunic is crochet in the round from the top down.

Loosely crochet 71-75-75-79-83 ch on crochet hook size 5 mm [H/8] with 1 thread Alpaca and 1 thread Cotton Viscose (double thread).

Form a ring with a sl st in the first ch.

Crochet next round as follows: 1 sc in each of the first 3 ch, *skip 1 ch, 1 sc in each of the 3 next ch*, repeat from *-* = 54-57-57-60-63 sc.

Now crochet a round of sc, at the same time inc 22-15-19-20-21 sc evenly – see Increasing tip 1 = 76-72-76-80-84 sc.

Continue in chart M.1.

After M.1 there are 76-90-95-100-105 ch-loops on round (1 ch-loop = 1 dc + 1 ch).

Continue with dc in ch and ch over dc until piece measures 10-11-12-13-14 cm [4”-4 3/8”-4 ¾”-5 1/8”-5½”].

Skip 17-19-21-22-22 ch-loops from previous round (= right sleeve), crochet 8 ch (= under arm), crochet 21-26-26-28-30 ch-loops (= front piece), skip 17-19-21-22-22 ch-loops from previous round (= left sleeve), crochet 8 ch (= under arm), crochet 21-26-27-28-31 ch-loops (= back piece).

Place a marker each side, in between the 8 ch crochet mid under arm. Continue in ch-loops. Note! On the first round crochet the 8 ch under each arm as follows: 1 dc in the first ch, 1 ch, skip 1 ch, 1 dc in next ch, 1 ch, 1 dc in the same ch, 1 ch, skip 1 ch, 1 dc in next ch, 1 ch, 1 dc in the same ch, 1 ch, skip 1 ch, 1 dc in next ch, 1 ch and skip 1 ch (= 6 ch-loops under each arm) = 54-64-65-68-73 ch-loops on round in total.

Continue in ch-loops in the round, at the same time inc 1 ch-loop – see Increasing tip 3 – on each side of both markers on every round a total of 4-4-6-6-7 times = 70-80-89-92-101 ch-loops.

After all inc piece measures approx 19-20-23-24-27 cm [7½”-8”-9”-9½”-10 5/8”] measured from ch-chain at neckline (you have now reached mid chest; if you wish to adjust this crochet additional rounds in ch-loops after the inc).

Now crochet 1 round in ch-loops, at the same time inc 4-2-2-14-14 dc evenly on round – see Increasing tip 2 = 144-162-180-198-216 dc/ch.

Now continue in mussel pattern chart M.2 (beg at start arrow in diagram) = 8-9-10-11-12 horizontal repeats on round. Crochet 3 vertical repeats of M.2, but beg the second and third repeat by the Arrow-B in diagram. After M.2 crochet 2-3-3-3-4 rounds in tr as follows:

Round 1: Remember crochet info! Crochet 1 tr in each ch-loop with 1 ch in between each and finish with 1 tr in the last dc = 72-81-90-99-108 tr.

Round 2: crochet 1 tr in each tr from previous round with 2 ch in between each tr (instead of 1) – finish size S here before the last mussel pattern = 72 tr.

Round 3: crochet 1 tr in each tr from previous round with 3 ch between each tr - finish size M, L and XL here before the last mussel pattern = 81-90-99 tr.

Round 4: crochet 1 tr in each tr from previous round with 3 ch between each tr - finish size XXL here before the last mussel pattern = 108 tr.

Now crochet a round in ch-loops as follows: 1 dc and 1 ch (= 1 ch-loop) in each tr from previous round, at the same time inc 1 ch-loop – see Increasing tip 3 – in every 3-3-4-4-4 tr. Note! For size L and XL finish with 1 dc and 1 ch in each of the last 2-3 tr = 96-108-112-123-135 ch-loops.

Continue with 1 round of ch-loops, at the same time inc 6-0-10-6-0 dc – see Increasing tip 2 = 198-216-234-252-270 dc/ch. Now crochet M.2 again (beg at start arrow in diagram), but finish the pattern after row 7.
