Short description
Now work in STRIBER - see explanation above and pattern A.4b (A.4a shows how each row starts and crochet in addition to the masks in A.4b). Read COLOR CHANGE! NOTE: An order for it to be easier to get an overview of which row is crocheted in the pattern and the stripes, a mark is put in the work here and the next row is counted as 1st row. That is, first row in A.4b = 1st row in stripes.
Diagram for clue # 4

Do you want to help getting started?
Here is a more detailed description of how to crochet according to clue # 4. We have marked with red where in the chart we work.
1st row (= right side): Crochet 3 air stitches (A.4a), then crochet A.4b as follows: * 2 rod stitches on first / next air stitch arch, 3 rod stitches on next air stitch arch *, crochet from * - * row = 120 stitches.
Put 12 marking threads in the work as follows: Insert a marking thread after the first 5 rod stitches, then insert each of the next 11 marking threads with 10 stitches between each marking thread, there are now 5 rod stitches left on the row after the last marking thread. The label threads follow up on the work and will have approximately the same mesh number on each page.
Turn the work and crochet row 2, 3 and 4 according to diagrams, A.4a and A.4b, - read COLOR CHANGE.
Turn the work, crochet 5th row (arrow 1) with dec as follows: Take out 1 stitch holder on each side of the marker threads by crocheting 1 extra stitch mask about the air stitch arch (= 24 stitches taken out) = 144 rod stitches on the row.
Turn the work and crochet 6-10 row. Continue with stripes - look over, and dec on row 7 (arrow 2, pull out as follows: Take out 1 stitch on each side of the marker threads by crochet 2 stitches in the same stitch = 24 stitches taken out) = 168 stitches on row and on the 10th row (arrow 3, dec as follows: Take out 1 st at each side of the marker threads at crocheting 2 stitches in a stitch = 24 stitches taken out) = 192 stitches on the row.
Turn the work and crochet 11th - 15th row. Continue with stripes - look over and dec on row 12 (arrow 4 and pull out as follows: Take out 1 stitch on each side of the marker threads by crochet 2 stitches in a stitch = 24 stitches taken out) = 216 stitches on row.
Turn the work and crochet 16th - 20th row. Continue with stripes - look over, and dec on row 16 (arrow 5 and pull out like this: Take out 1 stitch mask on each side of the marker threads by crocheting 2 rod stitches in a stitch = 24 stitches taken out) = 240 rod stitches on the row and at 18th row (Arrow 6 and pull out like this: Take out 1 stitch out by crochet 2 stitches in one stitch on each side of each marker = 24 stitches taken out) = 264 stitches on the row.
