Row 1: (see chart I) work 1 dc into the 2nd ch st from the hook, work 1 dc into each st in the beginning chain and at the same time evenly increase 10(10)12(13)15 dc = 102(105)110(111)116 dc.
Row 2: ch3 (= 1 tr), work 1 tr into each dc and at the same time evenly increase 11(11)12(14)15 trs = 113(116)122(125)131 trs. Switch to the Saffron colour.
Row 3: Ch3 (= 1 tr), skip 1 tr and work 3 trs into the next tr, *skip 2 trs and work 3 trs into the next tr*, repeat *-* 36(37)39(40)42 more times, work 1 tr. 37(38)40(41)43 treble groups or pattern repeats in total.
Continue crocheting following chart I, using the colours indicated on the chart.
Work rows 4-5.
Work row 6 of chart I and at the same time increase 4(4)5(5)5 pattern repeats: ch1 + 2 trs + ch1 evenly into 2 dc between chain arches. 41(42)45(46)48 pattern repeats in total.
Work rows 7-9.
Work row 10 of chart I and at the same time increase 4(4)4(5)5 pattern repeats: evenly work 1 ch st + 1 dc in between the tr groups on the previous row a total of 8(8)8(10)10 times. 45(46)49(51)53 pattern repeats in total.
Work rows 11-23. 91(93)99(103)107 treble groups in total.
Work row 24 of chart I and then keep repeating rows 23-24 with the off-white yarn for the rest of the work.
Note: When the yoke measures approx. 19(20)20(21)21 cm and you have just worked row 23, divide the work into five pieces: 14(14)15(16)17 tr groups for a front piece, 17(17)18(18)18 tr groups for a sleeve, 29(31)33(35)37 tr groups for the back piece, 17(17)18(18)18 tr groups for the other sleeve, and 14(14)15(16)17 tr groups for the other front piece. Place markers at the beginning of the pieces.
Hem
Continue with one of the front pieces. Work 4 rows and at the same time increase 1 tr group on the armhole side following chart II (rows 1-4) = 15(15)16(17)18 tr groups. Leave the sts on hold.
Work 4 rows on the back piece and at the same time increase 1 tr group at both ends (see rows 5-8 on chart II) = 31(33)35(37)39 tr groups. Leave the sts on hold.
Now work 4 rows on the other front piece and increase 1 tr group on the armhole side as before = 15(15)16(17)18 tr groups.
Continue crocheting with all sts (see row 9 of chart II): work the front piece sts, ch7(10)13(16)19 for an armhole, work the back sts, ch7(10)13(16)19 for the other armhole, work the other front piece. Work row 10 with all sts. Work 3(5)6(7)8 tr groups into the armhole ch sts.Note: There are 3 tr groups between the pieces on the chart.
You now have 67(73)79(85)91 treble groups. Place markers at the sides.
When the hem measures 12(12)13(14)15 cm, increase 1 tr group at the sides. Repeat the increases after 15 cm = 71(77)83(89)95 tr groups.
When the hem measures approx. 58(59)61(62)64 cm and you have last worked row 24 of chart I, break the yarn.
Sleeves
Continue with the sts of one sleeve first. Work 4 rows and at the same time increase 1 tr group at both ends as you did on the front and back (see chart II) = 19(19)20(20)20 tr groups. Continue crocheting with all sts (see row 9 of chart II), ch7(10)13(16)19 at the end of row for the armhole and close the round with 1 sl st into the beginning of row. Continue in the round. Work row 10 with all sts. Work 3(5)6(7)8 tr groups into the armhole ch sts.Note: There are 3 tr groups between the pieces on the chart.
You now have 22(24)26(27)28 treble groups. Place a marker for the inner seam at the halfway point of the ch sts.
When the inner sleeve measures 6(6)4(4)4 cm, decrease during 2 rounds 1 tr group at the inner seam. Repeat the decrease every 6(6)4(4)4 cm 3(3)5(5)5 more times. You now have 18(20)20(21)22 treble groups.
When the inner sleeve measures approx. 44(45)46(47)48 cm and you have last worked row 24 of chart I, break the yarn.
Crochet the other sleeve to match.
Finishing
Pin the piece to measurements, mist on the wrong side and allow to dry.
Sew the underarm seams.
Buttonband and buttonhole band: Using the off-white yarn, pick up 20 sts per each 10 cm onto the circular needle from the front edge of the left front piece. The number of sts must be divisible by 2 + 1 st. Begin ribbing on the WS with p2, k1, *p1, k1*, repeat *-*, k2. Work ribbing for 4 cm and bind off in pattern.
Place markers for buttons onto the buttonband. The topmost button will be 2 cm from the top edge and the other 7 below it at approx. 9 cm intervals.
