pattern using a 4mm (UK 8 - US G/6) crochet hook or size
required to obtain tension.

It is vitally important to check your tension (gauge) before

starting as working to the wrong tension (gauge) will mean
131/2 [131/2 : 131/2 : 131/2] in

your garment will not be the size shown and could result
35 [35 : 35: 35] cm

46 [46 : 42.5: 42.5] cm

in yarn being left over, or more yarn being required. Before 18 [18 : 161/2 : 161/2] in
beginning, crochet a tension (gauge) swatch at least 13 cm,
5 in, square and measure your tension (gauge). If there are
more stitches and rows than stated, try again using a thicker
hook. If there are fewer stitches and rows than stated, try
106 (118 : 130 : 142) cm
again using a thinner hook. 41½ [46½ : 51 : 56] in

PATTERN NOTES
This pattern is worked using tapestry crochet with the non
working yarn carried through each stitch.
When working from the Chart, every row starts with 3ch
which counts as the first tr(dc). The first stitch of row 1 is indicated
in green for sizes S and L and in pink for sizes M and XL. Work this
st as 3ch according to your size.
