I have been in and out of my blog for many years. Well, inspiration recently hit. I started working on a pattern by Drops that was so challenging, I was having difficulty with completing it. I had started, but ended up frogging shortly after I realized I didn't have enough yarn.
Fast forward a couple months later and I was back at the same pattern. The directions were originally in a different language, which is why the pattern is so hard.....but.....I decided to write it as I went. THERE WAS SO MUCH MATH! I make no promises that the pattern is accurate, but wanted to at least be helpful to others in figuring out what the pattern was. Please let me know if there are error and I will make the changes. It is also written for a size L.
Here is the website to the original pattern (which is beautiful):

Here is my version of the written pattern, which I’m not sure if I read the pattern correctly, but this is the way I completed it:
Ch 4 and join with sl st in first ch to create a circle.
R1: Ch 3, 17 dc around ch 4 circle. Sl st in top of beg. Ch 3. Turn.
R2: Ch 4, dc in next dc. *Ch 1, dc in next dc* around. Ch 1, sl st in 3rd ch of beg. Ch 4. Turn.
R3: Sl st in first ch 1-sp. Sc in same ch-1 sp. *Ch 12 and sc in next ch-1 sp*. Repeat around until join. Ch 6 and dtr in beginning sc to join. Turn.
R4: Ch 3, dc, ch2, 2 dc in previous ch sp. *2 dc, 2ch, 2dc in next ch sp* around. Sl st to beg ch 3 to join. Turn.
R5: Sl st to first ch2 sp. Ch 4, 1 tr, 2 ch, 2 tr in ch2 sp. *Ch 1.
2 tr, 2 ch, 2 tr in next ch2 sp.* Repeat around and join with sl st in top of beg ch4. Turn.
R6: Sl st to first ch2 sp. *Sc in ch2 sp. Ch 9, sc in ch1 sp. Ch 9, sc in ch2 sp. Ch 9, sc in next ch 2 sp.* Repeat around until last ch2 sp. Ch 5 and tr in beg sc. Turn. (26 ch9 sp.)
R7: Ch 3, dc, ch2, 2dc in ch sp created by ch 5 and tr from previous row. *2dc, ch2, 2dc in each ch9 sp.* Repeat around until last ch9 sp. Join with sl st to beg ch 3. Turn.
R8: Sl st to ch2 sp. Ch 4, 1 tr, 2 ch, 2 tr in ch2 sp. *Ch 1. 2 tr, 2 ch, 2 tr in next ch2 sp.* Repeat around. Sl st into top of beg. Ch4. Turn.
A.2
R9: Sl st into ch2 sp. *Sc in ch2 sp, ch 9, sc in ch1 sp, ch 9, sc in ch2 sp, ch 9. Sk sc in ch1 sp. Sc in ch2 sp, sk ch1 sp.* Repeat. Turn. (36 ch 9 sp.)
R10: Sl st in the next 5 ch. Ch3, dc, ch 2, 2dc in first ch 9 sp. *2dc, ch2, 2dc in each ch9 sp* Repeat and sl st into beg ch 3. Turn.
R11: Sl st to ch2 sp. Ch 4, 1 tr, 2 ch, 2 tr in ch2 sp. *Ch 1. 2 tr, 2 ch, 2 tr in next ch2 sp.* Repeat around. Sl st into top of beg. Ch4. Turn.
A.3
R12: Sl st to ch2 sp. Sc in ch2 sp. Ch 33 and sk 6 tr groups. Sc in next ch2 sp. 12 ch, 1 sc around ch-space in the middle of next tr-group and repeat 14x total. Ch 33 and sk 6 tr groups. Sc in next ch2 sp. *ch 12, sc in next ch2 sp* repeat around and join with sl st with beg sc st. Turn. (54 ch12 sp groups)
R13: Sl st in armhole. Working in armhole: Ch 3, dc, ch2, 2dc. *2dc, ch2, 2dc* repeat 8 times. Working along back: *inc in next ch sp(3 2dc, ch 2, 2dc), 2dc, ch2, 2dc in next 3 ch12 sp* Repeat until the next armhole. Second armhole: *2dc, ch 2, 2dc* repeat 11 times. Working along back: *2dc, ch2, 2dc in next 3 ch12 sp and inc in next ch sp(3 2dc, ch 2, 2dc)* repeat until end and join with sl st in top of beg ch3. Turn. (54 2dc ch2, 2dc groups).
R14: Sl st to ch2 sp. Ch 4, 1 tr, 2 ch, 2 tr in ch2 sp. *Ch 1. 2 tr, 2 ch, 2 tr in next ch2 sp.* Repeat around. Sl st into top of beg. Ch4. Turn. (54 2tr, ch2, 2tr groups)
Repeating A.3 while increasing:
R15: Sl st to ch2 sp. Sc in ch2 sp. *Ch 12, sc in next ch2 sp. (repeat 6x total). Ch 12 sc in next ch1 sp. Ch 12* Repeat around and join with ch 6 + dtr in the beg sc. Turn. (63 ch12 sp)
R16: ch 3, dc, ch2, 2 dc in ch12 sp. *2dc, ch 2, 2dc* Repeat around and join in top of beg ch3. Turn. (63 2dc ch2, 2dc groups)
R17: Sl st to ch2 sp. Ch 4, 1 tr, 2 ch, 2 tr in ch2 sp. *Ch 1. 2 tr, 2 ch, 2 tr in next ch2 sp.* Repeat around. Sl st into top of beg. Ch4. Turn. (63 2tr, ch2, 2 tr groups).
Repeating A.3 while increasing 2x:
R18: Sl st to ch2 sp. SC in ch2 sp. *Ch 12, sc in next ch2 sp. (repeat 7x total). Ch 12 sc in next ch 1 sp. Ch 12* Turn. (72 ch12 sp groups).
R19: ch 3, dc, ch2, 2 dc in ch12 sp. *2dc, ch 2, 2dc* Repeat around and join in top of beg ch3. Turn. (72 2dc ch2, 2dc groups)
R20: Sl st to ch2 sp. Ch 4, 1 tr, 2 ch, 2 tr in ch2 sp. *Ch 1. 2 tr, 2 ch, 2 tr in next ch2 sp.* Repeat around. Sl st into top of beg. Ch4. Turn. (72 2tr, ch2, 2 tr groups).
Repeating A.3 while increasing 3x:
R21: Sl st to ch2 sp. SC in ch2 sp. *Ch 12, sc in next ch2 sp. (repeat 8x total). Ch 12 sc in next ch 1 sp. Ch 12* Turn. (81 ch12 sp groups).
R22: ch 3, dc, ch2, 2 dc in ch12 sp. *2dc, ch 2, 2dc* Repeat around and join in top of beg ch3. Turn. (81 2dc ch2, 2dc groups)
R23: Sl st to ch2 sp. Ch 4, 1 tr, 2 ch, 2 tr in ch2 sp. *Ch 1. 2 tr, 2 ch, 2 tr in next ch2 sp.* Repeat around. Sl st into top of beg. Ch4. Turn. (81 2tr, ch2, 2 tr groups).
Find the middle 54 2tr, ch2, 2tr groups, on the bottom. These will be the ones we will be working in. Using stitch markers are helpful.
A.3 with 7 loop increase
R24: Sc in ch2 sp. *Ch 6, sc in next ch2 sp.* Repeat 2x. *Ch 12, sc in next ch2 sp* Repeat 6x all together, and add increase by Ch 12, sc in next ch 1 sp. Ch 12. (Ch 12, sc in next ch2 sp. Repeat 6x all together, and add increase by Ch 12, sc in next ch 1 sp. Ch 12.) Repeat around until last 2, where you will ch 6, sc, ch 6 sc. Turn. **when increasing, do not count ch6 sp. You should have 60 loops- 56 ch12 sp and 4 ch6 sp)
R25: Ch 3, sl st in ch6 sp. Ch 5. *2dc, ch 2, 2dc in next sp.* Repeat in all the ch12 sp and the second to the last ch6 sp. Turn.
R26: Sl st to ch2 sp and sc in ch2 sp. Ch 5. *Tr, ch 2, tr in next ch2 sp. Ch 1*. Repeat until the second to last ch2 sp. Turn. (56 tr, Ch 2, tr groups)
Repeat A.3 with increases 2x- This is where it got kinda weird and the math did not work out how I wanted it, but I think it’s just the pattern.
R27: Sl st to ch2 sp, sc. Ch 6, sc in next ch2 sp.(2x). (Ch 12, sc in next ch2 sp)4x, and add increase by Ch 12, sc in next ch 1 sp. Ch 12.) *Ch 12, sc in next ch2 sp. Repeat 6x all together, and add increase by Ch 12, sc in next ch 1 sp. Ch 12.* Repeat around. (62 loops–58 ch12 sp, 4 ch4 sp). Turn
R28: Sl st in ch6 sp. Ch 5. *2dc, ch 2, 2 dc in the next ch2 sp*. Repeat around until the second to last ch6 sp. Turn.
R29: Sl to to ch2 sp and sc in ch2 sp. Ch 5. *2 tr, ch 2, 2 tr, ch 1*. Repeat around the second to last 2dc, ch 2, 2 dc group and do not complete ch 1 from previous tr group or tr in ch 2 sp. Do not turn.
R30: *Ch 4, sc in next ch sp* around, evenly, and aiming to sc in ch2 sp between tr. Based on the patterns instructions, I just kinda wong it here since the point it to make this look more finished and the instructions aren’t good when it comes to the transitions between the rows you’re adding at the bottom.
SLEEVES
For me the increases I had were not even in both arm holes, so I just evenly worked the dc around. It may be helpful to turn your work every row for a better consistency. I did not do this.
R1: *1 dc in first/next dc, ch 1, skip 1 dc *, repeat from *-* the entire round = 30-33-36 dc + 30-33-36 ch.
R2: * ch 6, skip 5 sts, 1 sc in next st *, repeat from *-* the entire round = 10-11-12 ch-spaces.
R3: Work 2 dc + 2 ch + 2 dc around every ch-space the entire round = 10-11-12 dc-groups.
R4: Work 2 tr + 2 ch + 2 tr around every ch-space in dc-group and 1 ch between every tr-group the entire round = 10-11-12 tr-group with 1 ch between each.
R5 (dec row): Sl st to ch2 sp and sc. Ch 6, dc in next ch2 sp, ch 6, sc in next ch2 sp (dec made). *Ch 12, sc in next ch 2 sp* around until last sc. Ch 6 and dtr into beg sc.
R6: Ch 3, dc, ch 2, 2 dc in ch 12 sp. Now working around the dec. Dc 2 in ch6 sp, ch 2, dc in next ch 6. Continue with typical pattern of the *2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc* in each ch sp.
R7: Continue with typical tr group row.
Continue to follow the pattern of dec row, dc groups row, and then tr groups row until you only have 6 groups of tr st in the row. You will then continue your typical pattern of ch 12 row, dc groups row, and tr groups row until you achieve your desired length.
