GAUGE

In lace yoke pattern, using US H-8 (5 mm) hook, 5 1/2 rows = 4"/10 cm
In mesh pattern, using US H-8 (5 mm) hook, 4 (ch-space) mesh = 3 1/2"/9 cm and 8 rows = 4"/10 cm (as crocheted, mesh will grow when blocked)
STITCHES USED
Chain (ch), double crochet (dc), half double crochet (hdc), single crochet (sc), slip stitch (slip st)
SPECIAL TERMS
Fsc: Foundation single crochet (This technique creates a foundation chain and a row of single crochet stitches in one) –
Step 1:Place a slip knot on hook, ch 2, insert hook in 2nd ch from hook and draw up a loop; yarn over and draw through one loop on hook (the "chain"); yarn over and draw through 2 loops on hook (the "single crochet").
Step 2:The following stitch is worked under the forward 2 loops of the stem of the previous stitch (into the "chain"). Insert hook into the face of the "chain" and under the nub at the back of the "chain", draw up a loop, yarn over and draw through one loop on hook (the "chain"), yarn over and draw through 2 loops on hook (the "single crochet"). Repeat for the length of foundation.
To add stitches with Fsc (when shaping armholes): Ch 1 (as instructed), insert hook in the stem of the sc just made (under 2 strands), draw up a loop, yarn over and draw through one loop on hook (the "chain"), yarn over and draw through 2 loops on hook (the "single crochet"). Make remaining Fsc as above.
puff: 4-hdc puff stitch—[Yarn over, insert hook in indicated space, yarn over and draw up a loop] 4 times (9 loops on hook), yarn over and draw through all loops on hook.
beg-puff: Beginning puff stitch—Ch 2, [yarn over, insert hook in indicated space, yarn over and draw up a loop] 3 times (7 loops on hook), yarn over and draw through all loops on hook.
V-st: 2-puff V-st—(puff, ch 2, puff) in indicated space. fan: 3-puff fan—(puff, ch 2, puff, ch 2, puff, ch 1) in indicated space (Note: This fan ends with a ch 1 to close top of last puff)
dc2tog: Double crochet 2 together –[Yarn over, insert hook in next st and pull up a loop, yarn over and draw through 2 loops] twice, yarn over and draw through 3 loops on hook.
PATTERN STITCH
Mesh Pattern (in joined rounds)
Note: Eight rounds are needed to complete the pattern of staggered puff stitch fans.Round 1 (RS): (Beg-puff, ch 2, puff) in first space, sc in next ch-5 space, [ch 5, sc in next ch-5 space] 2 times, *fan in next ch-5 space, sc in next ch-5 space, [ch 5, sc in next ch-5 space] 2 times; repeat from * around, puff in same space as beg-puff; join with ch 1, sc in top of beg-puff (join counts as ch-sp), turn.
Round 2 (WS): Ch 1, sc in first space (formed by join), [ch 5, sc in next ch-5 space] 2 times, *[ch 5, skip next puff, sc in next ch-2 space] 2 times, [ch 5, sc in next ch-5 space] 2 times; repeat from * to last ch-2 space, ch 5, sc in last ch-2 space; join with ch 2, dc in first sc (join counts as ch-sp), turn.
Rounds 3 and 4: Ch 1, sc in first space (formed by join), *ch 5, sc in next ch-5 space; repeat from * around; join with ch 2, dc in first sc, turn.
Round 5: Ch 1, sc in first space, ch 5, sc in next ch-5 space, fan in next ch-5 space, sc in next ch-5 space, [ch 5, sc in next ch-5 space] 2 times, fan in next ch-5 space, sc in next ch-5 space; repeat from * around; join with ch 2, dc in first sc, turn.
