Will use the schematics of this pattern but in Tunisian crochet. Griddle pattern stitch.
Back: 66 stitches. 28 rows to armhole BO. BO 3 stitches at beginning of next row, leave last 3 stitches unworked. Decrease one stitch at each end of rows 1 and 2, and decrease two stitches at each end of row 3. (8 stitches decreased on three rows). End with 16 stitches remaining on hook, return pass but do not BO. Cut and secure yarn. Finished September 18.
Sleeves: work both together at once. Cast on 30 stitches, increase each end of every second row to 30 rows completed. BO 3 at each end of next row. Follow decreases as for the back. Finished September 21.
Fronts: v- neck edge, decrease 1 stitch every second row.
Back= 156 grams
Sleeves= 118 grams and 113 grams
Fronts= 72 grams and 72 grams
Total 531 grams before seaming and adding button and neckband.
To join the sections: sc 30 stitches evenly at each raglan edge of sleeves, front and back with the 8 mm hook, because you are working on a diagonal. Slip stitch seams closed with the 8 mm hook.
Weave in all loose ends.
Join sleeve and body side seams. I did sc 43 at side edge and 50 on sleeve seams.
Make front facing and neckband with buttonholes. I linked a six stitch column to the front edge.
Washed and dried by machine. Softens up nicely. I will make the collar area wider and shorter.
Used one row hdc around collar edge. Around neck worked a decrease of one over three stitches.
Next row sc, decrease one stitch over 4. Final row of sc, decrease of one over four.
