Bell-Sleeve Pullover (re-sized)

Doris Chan
(CR-13 from Tahki Crochet Booklet 2006) As demonstrated on Knitting Daily TV, here is the pattern newly resized, now available in XS through 3XL. I have also altered the proportions for slimmer sleeves and a better fit in the larger sizes. Crocheted in Tahki Cotton Classic, this trim-fitting pullover features a low, wide V-neck, top-of-hip length, three-quarter sleeves with deep, ruffled trim and seamless construction. Sample shown is size XS (33).

SPECIAL STITCHES Fsc (foundation single crochet): Start with a slip knot, ch 2, insert hook in 2nd ch from hook, draw up a loop, YO and draw through one loop (the chain), YO and draw through 2 loops (the sc). The following st is worked under the forward 2 loops of the stem of the prev st (into the chain). Insert hook into the face of the chain and under the nub at the back of the chain, YO and draw up a loop, YO and draw through one loop (the chain), YO and draw through 2 loops (the sc). Repeat for the length of foundation. Rev sc (reverse sc): Working from left to right, insert hook in next st to the right, yo, draw yarn through st, yo, draw yarn through 2 loops on hook. Shell: (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in same sp Fan: [tr, (ch 2, tr) 4 times] in same sp STITCH PATTERN (in rounds for body and sleeves) Pattern Rnd 1(WS): Ch 5 (counts as dc, ch 2), [sc in next ch-sp, ch 2, dc in each of next 2 sc, ch 2] around, ending with dc in last sc, sl st in 3rd ch of beg ch, turn. Pattern Rnd 2: Ch 3, sk beg ch, dc in next dc, [ch 3, sl st in next sc, ch 3, dc in each of next 2 dc] around, except omit last 2 dc, instead sl st in top of beg ch, turn. Pattern Rnd 3: Ch 1, sc in same beg ch, [ch 4, sc in each of next 2 dc] around, except omit last sc, instead sl st in beg sc, turn. Pattern Rnd 4: Ch 1, sc in same sc, sc in next sc, [ch 6, sc in each of next 2 sc] around, except omit last 2 sc, instead sl st in beg sc, turn. PATTERN NOTES 1. The pattern row which contains (2 sc, ch 4) is the limiting factor in this lace. If you tend to chain too tightly, you may choke up the stitch pattern and make the pullover too narrow. Keep the ch 4 relaxed, crocheted to gauge, so the pullover will have enough width. 2. Pullover is made from the neck down, increasing in pattern at four corners of the yoke to create raglan-type shaping at the shoulders. Mark positions of the corner stitches for clarity.

13 Fsc = 4" Main pattern consists of blocks completed over 4 rows In pattern, one block rep = 1 /4 cm; 4 rows in pattern = 1"/4 cm Fabric will relax and lengthen slightly when blocked.
